the frequency Of these ~offenses has
diminished materially, although they
are stlil by no e unknown. THE
land fraud cases." he says, have
forcibly illustrated the unfortunate
consequences of administrative laxity
and liberation of abuses in the en-.
torcement of any laws during a on.
siderable length of time.
Trial Delays Hit.
The number and gravity of often
ses against the national banking laws

able solicitude and regret" he states.
The moral ~culpability involved In
such TENSE seems often to be i'm
perfectly appreciated and, although
they usually excite great INDIGNATION
and provoke loud complaints from the
sufferers when they are first discover
ed, so much time is frequently lost in
the preparation for trial and actual
trial of these long and complicated
cases that the crime itself has faded
from public memory when the GRIM
inal'is at last convicted, and there is
need Of vigilance lest he finally escape
WIN wholly insufficient punishment
Higher Salaries for Judges.
IN ms opinion as a matter of Justice
no good reason exists why a warrant
of arrest issued by any court of the
United States should not be directly
executed in any part OF the United
States. He asserts that it has been
found that certain districts constitute
for practical purposes sanctuaries for
certain classes of offenders against
federal statutes. He believes that there
should be a law giving committing
magistrates Of the United States
authority to issue search warrants
when stolen government property or
any property which it Is a crime
against the. United States to misap-
propriate is believed to be concealed.
In regard to the supervision of natur-
alization by his department he says
that the appropriation granted is too
small for the work to be done
thoroughly. AS to jury challenges on
behalf of the United States he says
there is no good reason why the de-
PENDANT should be allowed a larger
number of perep1ptory challenges than
Fthe prosecution in a criminal trial and
that it is often difficult under the
present rules to bring to Justice Of
tenders as to whose guilt there is no
reasonable doubt. He renews his
recommendation that the salaries of
federal judges be increased owing to
the increase in the cost of living since
they were last adjusted.
