ADAPTATION OF SOME EURO.
PEAN PRINCIPALS

Indianapolis, July S.-The first day
of the thirteenth annual meeting of
the State Bar association of Indiana at
the Country club was given over yes
terday to discussion Of present weak
nesses OF the law and its practice and
recommendations to a cure. William
Dudley Foulke of Richmond in a pa
per on THE Trouble With the Law"
pointed out the delays, uncertainties.
expense and the injustice of a number
OF the laws doctrines. Addison C..
Harris suggested an American adapta-
ton OF the European principles of
compensation for injuries. in a paper
on Modern Views OF Compensation
for Personal Injuries" Judge James S.
Dodge OF Elkhart urged that the cleo
ton OF judges be taken out OF politics
IN paper on Indiana Courts" The
only euloSy of the profession was pro-
nounced by the president of the asso-
citation, Daniel w. Simms of Lafayette
In the opening address on "The Law
and the Lawyer"
Fouike's Address.
In his paper Mr.. Foulke spoke from
the standpoint Of one outside, having
retired from active practice more than
fifteen years ago.
When l was engaged in the prac-
tice OF the profession" he said, II saw
the golden side of the shield clearly,
Now l see the side of iron. The ex-
pense, the technicalities, the intermin-
able delays which do not seem so OBJ
jectfonable to the lawyer, are now hor-
rible monstrosities, so that am often
inclined to forego the demands of alb
stract justice and agree with mine ad-
versary quickly. To client, the shad-
ows darken over the landscape of jur-
isprudence. He takes very little inter-
est in the symmetry of a wonderful
science. He has merely the painful
consciousness that when he gets into
lawsuit he never knows when and
where he Is coming out, or what the
thing is going to cost him.
Uncertainties Of Law.
The uncertainties Of the law are due
In part to its complexity. l remem-
Der distinguished lawyers lament Of
the degeneration of legal ability. In
the early days. he said, at the time Of
Blackford's reports. there were few de-
cisions in Indiana, and none Of us
could afford good law library of de-
cisions elswhere. When a lawyer had
a question in court he would go out to
the woods some afternoon and think 1t
out for himself. The result was that
we had men of some originality and
we had sound decisions. Now a law
yer hunts up all the authorities; he
does not rely on his reason alone. He
finds twenty-five decisions on one hand
and twent-six on the other. and he
tries to balance between them as best
he can. We have poorer lawyers and
poorer Judges and great deal harder
work In finding what the law u.s."

Following these expressions, Coun.
Gilman Englebert moved the rules be
suspended and the ordinance placed
on its passage. The vote to suspend
the rules, and that subsequently tax.
en- on the passage of the ordinance,
was unanimous. So,
| Councilman Englebert and others
prompted by this action then propos.
ed that the ordinance requiring the
paving of Eighth street be reconsid-
cred. with an idea of putting it
through in one evening. Councilman
Englebert asked whether any one
would protest to such action with
the result that Councilman Deuker
entered objections.
There is little question but what
the Improvement will be ordered at
the next meeting of council It has
been up for consideration for several
weeks and, according to the council
men, nearly all citizens favor 1t, ex-
cept six of the eight resident property
holders on South Eighth street.
City to Pay one-Third.
Objection was made by Il csc prop
erty owners owing to the expense. An
effort will be made to have the city
pay one-third the cost of the improve
ment, after the expense to the street
car company Is deducted A meeting
will be held by the board of works
Friday morning, at which the COM
mittee on streets and alleys will be
present and urge the board to make
this proportionment of the cost of the
improvement. City Attorney Study
says that the board can not do this
legally but from the standpoint Of
fairness, it should be done. The re-
cent law passed by the legislature
provides that the property owners
pay for the improvement of a street
with the city paying for the intersec-
tons. However in the past 1t has
been the custom for the city to meet
one-third the cost of the Improvement
OF any street, and it Is probable that
such will be the course followed this
time.
An ordinance for the permanent i'm
provement of South Eleventh street
between c and e streets was brought
upon third reading and passed unan-
imously. 1t provides for the construc-
ton OF cement sidewalks, curbs and
cutters.
A recommendation was presented
by Councilman Bartel for the cement
Ing of the roadway in the first alley
south Of Main between Ninth and
Tenth streets, also for similar i'm
provement of the alley connecting
this alley with Main street. The mat
ter was referred to the board of
works.

EASTERN GIRLS WIN
LONG WALKING BET
Trip From San Pedro to Orange is
Made In One Day on Bet.
California Maldens Are
Shown Something

California is wont to boast of her ma
tive daughters and the athletic stunts
performed by them, but it is probable
that few Orange girls have equaled in
recent years the walking trip made by
a New York and a Boston woman last
Monday.
Certain San Pedro young men put
up a bet that a couple of friends, Miss
Aarup Of 535 Eighteenth street and Miss
Perham Of 356 Fifteenth street. San
Pedro, could not walk to Orange, thirty
six miles, in days time. The young
women were sure they could do it, the
money was put up and the contestants
started out last Monday morning on
their long walk. They carried break
fast and lunch and stopped an hour for
each.
At various times during the day they
stopped for considerable lengths of
time, even taking maps at one halt, and
arrived in Orange at $40 in the after
noon not at all exhausted from their
trip.
After a short rest at the home of one
of the women, they went up town and
purchased several postcards to prove
their arrival within the stipulated time.
The young pedestrians met many peo-
pie on the way, who were much inter-
ested in their trip, and numerous were
the offers of rides for either long or
short distances, none of which were
accepted, however. The trip was made
directly across the BiXby ranch, and
no towns were passed on the journey.

(By Associated Press.)

CROWN POINT, Ind, July 16.-An
automobile making the circuit of the
Cobe race course last night crashed
into a machine containing Jack john
son. the heavyweight pugilist, and a
party of friends. Johnson was not
hurt, but one of the women of the
party was perhaps fatally hurt. Sew
eral others were slightly injured
johnson, who is training at Cedar
Lake, near here, entertained a large
party of friends from Chicago. 1t was
proposed that the members make the
round of the race track.
Johnson with his manager was IN MS
own machine and was followed by. a
car containing his friends. At the
southeast corner of the course, where
the one bad piece Of road on the
course made the drivers in the recent
cup race cautious, the driver or the
following car tried to pass the ma
chine of Johnson. The car skidded
and both rear wheels of Johnson's auto
were broken off. In his car sat the
pugilists wife.
Three of the occupants of the car re-
mained with the machine and were
only slightly hurt, but white girl
who was sitting with the driver
leaped from the automobile before her
companions could stop her and was
dashed on the sharp stones when
lined the roadway. Her clothing was
cut to shreds.
Her ankles were dislocated and she
was hurt internally. A physician was
called to attend the woman and the
party returned to the training camp.
Efforts to learn the identity of the
injured girl were futile.

STRONG TAKES OUT LICENSE

William Strong, right fielder of the
Dyas-Cline baseball team in the South
ern State league. had the time of his
life making his way to the county
courthouse yesterday afternoon be-
cause those "horrid" policemen would
not permit Handsome" Bill to crawl
under the wires set up to keep the
crowd back on Spring street.
The mission calling Strong to the
courthouse was the happy thought of
William taking out license to wed
Margaret w. Timm of Los Angeles.
After Strong answered more questions
than ever he caught balls in right
garden, the clerk looked him over and
handed him the paper which would
bring to himself a lifelong friend to
cook the bread as mother used TO.
Both parties went straight to Justice
Pierce's office and later in the day
boarded the afternoon train for San
Diego, where the bride and groom will
spend a week before returning to Los
Angeles, on their honeymoon.

TRAINS HORSES WITH ARSENIC

NEW YORK, July 16.-One of the
surprises of the meeting at the Empire
City race track is the successful run
ming of the horses owned and trained
by II. G. Bedwell, formerly a druggist
of Denver, Colo, which business he
gave up a few years ago on account of
i'll health.
Arsenic, a deadly poison, is the secret
through which Bedwell has been able
to keep his horses in good racing con-
dition, and each day they have por-
toin in their feed as tonic.
Horses, like men, lose their vital
forces through hard work." said Mr..
Bedwell. "In order to tone them up, I
give them arsenic in small doses. 1t
serves as a tonic for the blood, and
with the blood In condition my horses
thrive and are able to race at their
