ptt,shurr. April 2e.-Owing 10 the crowded
,o,si,ion of the Pittsburg steel mills whch
r,orufacture structural shapes. it is feared that
tho rebuilding OF San Francisco will be greatly
retarded and that the Pacific Coast city will be
forced 10 go TO Great Britain and Germany FOR

Pittsburg district now crowded with orders
SO that il is impossible for them 10 take on any
additional ones for delivery within eight months.
According TO reports that have been received
from agents OF the big steel companies In san
Francisco. II WAS the buildings Of steel ;hat
withstood both the earthquake and the fire. and
there is no doubt that steel structures win be
used almost exclusively IN rebuilding the city.
On account OF the high freight rates from the

The tedious delays Incident TO securing a
jury in the United States are eliminated
In Mexico, where all crimes are tried be-
fore judge, who decides the case and
whose decision is generally irrevocable.
While many Of the laws of Mexico may
appear TO a citizen OF the United States as
peculiar or absurd, still some of them are
worthy Of consideration.
The law demands that persons advertis-
ing show OF anything must be able to
fulfill the promises of the advertisement in
detail or else suffer Imprisonment. This
bars circuses and many other famboyant
advertisers from Mexico. Several years
ago theatrical company crossed the line
into Mexico from the United States and
posted bills whereon were displayed an
aggregation of beautiful women doing
wonderful acrobatic feats. A large audi
ence attended, and while the acBobatio
turns were as advertised the women per-
formers were far from handsome. The
show was stopped at once all the money
refunded TO the audience and the manage
menJ escaped with a heavy fine.
President Diaz has authority by which
| a corner in any of the foodstuff markets
can be checked at once. II, for example
| there should be a great scarcity OF wheat
and the price rose either through the ma
! nipulatiOn Of spectators or by means Of q
| crop failure to the point where the poor
| could not buy It he can at once remove all
! duty upon wheat shipped into Mexico and
as a result the American producer sends
! hundreds of car loads into the country,
obtaining good prices for It and effectually
stopping what might have been a successful

JUSTICE IN MEXICO SWIFT
Jury Trials Unknown and Prisoner
Must Prove His InnO-
cence.

Law in Mexico is TO be obeyed, not inter-
preted- The Mexican has definite ideas of
what he can and cannot do and is certain
that If he breaks the law he will have a
heap Of trouble. The wheels OF the legal
machinery grind with fearful slowness
there, but the guilty rarely escape and the
innocent who suffer are few and far be-
tween
The general attitute Of the government
toward one who has committed an offense
is diametrically opposite to that of the
United States, where a man is presumed
innocent until proved guilty. In many re-
spects the Mexican procedure is that the
man is guilty untn proven innocent.
AS an example, upon the commission OF a
crime the suspected criminal is placed in
a cell, where for three days he Is not
allowed to communicate with anyone. In
those three days the prosecution is supposed
to have had sufficient time to sft the evi.
dence against the Suspect" thoroughly
and not to be baked in this by the sus-
pect's communicating with friends, who
could hide evidence and generally aid In
thwarting the prosecution. While this
works hardship on an innocent person Il
unquestionably prevents many criminals
from establishing an alibi.
On the other hand, the prosecuting attOr
ney is bound TO warn the suspect agains
doing anything which will incriminate him
self and his clearly defined duty is to pro
tect as we'll as prosecute.

Not alone the value, but the absolute
necessity Of a legislative committee in the
State Federation Of womens clubs is
brought out by a recent article in "Chari-
ties" concerning the working hours OF
women in factories and stores. This un-
questionably reliable authority reports the
n ost fragrant violation of labor laws in
many states where the best laws stand on
the statutes, the offenders justifying them
selves on the ground that the laws are un-
constitutional, and they expect TO have
them repealed. What the offenders in
these cases mean is exactly this" says
the Bulletin, that the law was secured
after a long and bitter struggle on behalf
of the oppressed; but the law once on the
statute books, the community will go TO
Sleep believing the battle is now over
and the victory won, whereas the cunning
violator Of law has long ago discovered he
can quietly secure a repeal when no one
is watching the avalanche of bills which
Is annually ground through one Of our
state legislatures That he is right in this
cannot be denied It is exactly at this
point that the real value Of our State Fed
/ GRAFTON legislative committee may be seen.
! In some states the legislative committee,
with the assistance of the council watches
every bill which is presented before the
! legislature for the express purpose OF as
certaining how many OF them contain con-
cealed purposes of this kind. The bill is
offered in such cases with full dependence
upon the ignorance and carelessness Of the
| community. AS a rule this Is a perfectly
safe reliance and scoundrels of every kind
know it full well But recently a change
has come over the spirit Of the official and
the unofficial lobbyist Many a candidate
was defeated in the election just passed
for this very offense without knowing ex-
actly what 1t was that threw him down.
In most states vigorous organizations are
now looking for offenders of this kind and
with no better success than the State Fed
eration's legislative committee. The states
already engaged in this work know full
we'll the value Of such activity, but those
that have not yet undertaken this kind OF
supervision should do so at once. It IS
= the proper work of such a committee e
cooperate with every other organization
engaged in such efforts. No power is toC
great to compete with this kind of in
fanny, and the greater the number of or
ganizations engaged the better the chances
OF success. widespread public opinion Il
the weapon upon which we must depend
and the clubs can do more to further thl
because Of their very numbers than cal
some of the other organizations which un
dertake this work, but find very little as
slstance from the average citizen. Wher
some Of the best organized committees ar
at work it is frequently, almost imposslbl
to awaken public opinion unless some po
litical interest is involved So pronounce

Of many men has become that of ute
