they relate are imaginary, but once the
human mind is set on a cause which prom

1T has become necessary said the

1T has occurred TO me that 1t would be
a good thing TO experiment with a special
ladies court along the lines, for instance,
OF the children's court.
"A great many cases come into police
court that it is not eXpedient to try in the

ticularly deplorable that such cases should
be tried before the rowdies who frequent
the regular sessions Of any police court.
''Then, too, women rctard the progress
Of court procedure more than anything
else. They are more difficult to manage
as witnesses than men are and whether
they appear as plaintiffs or defendants

this past week On Tuesday he sent
a special message to the Capital de-
nouncing as false the accusations that
have been made by New York and
Indiana newspapers recently to the
effect that the purchase of the Pa
mama Canal was dishonesty handled.
In this message Mr.. Roosevelt used
some exceedingly strong words, as is
his habit when aroused by wrongful
attacks. The Senators sat and laugh

emphasizing each hot" sentence by
smiles and tIttering. No action has
been taken by Congress in connec-
