His machine, wandering away from
the main travelled highways, became
hopelessly lost in a maze of twisted
country roads-so runs this previous
tale-and was at length halted in the
worst mire within the county limits,
which is saying much, as the country
is notorious for mud.
A lone farmer toiling in the sun on
the side of the hill was hailed from a
great distance by the president, who
wished to escape, if possible, the ex-
hausting climb from the road.
Twice the pleasing, ringing voice of
the nations chief executive was heard
before the attention of the farmer was
gained. Even then the latter could
not distinguish the words of the way
farer and was plainly hard of hearing.
The president pointed to nearby
gate and made an extra effort.
Can | come in?' he shouted.

"a load of hay just came through it."

NORTH POLE IN BLAZE
IN A CANDY STORE
Stampede at a Festival in
New York.

New York, Sept. 20.-In the smoke
charged atmosphere of Madison
Square Garden, where the confectfon-
cry exhibition is being held, Band
master Gustaye d'Aquin led his must
clans last night while hundreds of
women and children thronged to the
exits under the impression the build
ing was on fire. The music halted
them and prevented what might have
been a serious panic.
AS the band crashed out the chorus
of "Oh, You Candy Kid" some per-
sons in the crowd began singing with
the musicians.
Those rushing headlong for the
street stopped and shamefacedIy re
turned. Soon everybody in the Gar
den was helping out the musicians
and gathering samples. And the
North Pole caused all the excitement.

Pole. 1t was ten feet high and about
two feet in diameter. On either side
of it were wax figures of Cook and
Peary climbing upward for the prize
at the tOp-a ten-pound can of lard.
The pole, made of wax, was covered
with bunting.
In some manner it caught fire just
when the after-dinner crowd was
pouring into the building There was
a flash of flame, cry of FIRE." and
in an instant everybody had started
for the exits Two employees of the
Garden put out the blaze with hand
extinguishers, but Cook and Peary
were burned. Smoke filled the build
ing.
Three or four policemen pushed
through the crowd of excited women
and children and assured them there
was no danger.

DINNER Is WAITING TODAY
FOR COOK IN HIS OLD HOME
Brooklyn Awaits Arrival Today of the
Explorer.

New York, Sept. 20.-The plans Of
the neighbors of DR.. Frederick A.
Cook in the Bushwick evenue section
of Brooklyn to give reception to
him have SO developed that every sec
tion of the Borough of Brooklyn is
now represented in committees APP
pointed to welcome Dr. Cook
The Citizens Committee, appoint
ed by Borough President Coler, met
in Borough Hall and, after voting to
give a dinner to the explorer at the
Brooklyn Academy of Music, resolved
to join the Bushwick Committee in
welcoming the famous Brooklynite
Tuesday.
A delegation of the Brooklyn league
attended the meeting and announced
that the league would cooperate with
the Citizens Committee.
Borough President Coler, who was
present, was asked to represent the
Citizens Committee in formally well
coming DR.. Cook home.
Il prefer" he said, ito represent
Brooklyn as Borough President. DR..
Cook has long been an honored citi-
zen of Brooklyn, and the borough
unanimously accepts all of his state
ments as truth. He is, to all of us,
the discoverer of the North Pole, and
as the President of his home borough
shall be pleased to welcome him on
behalf of the borough"
There will be many automobiles at
the foot of South Fifth street, Brook
Ign when the Grand Republic arrives
there with the explorer on board.
The procession will move through
South Sixth street to Bedford avenue,
passing the milk depot in which Dr..
Cook earned the money to pay for his
education, and which is now conduct
ed by his brother, and on to Willough-
by avenue, along Willoughby avenue
to Broadway, to Arion place, to Bush
wick avenue, to Highland Boulevard
and back Bushwick avenue to the
Bushwick club.
DR.. Cook will receive neighbors
friends in the club until $50, when
dinner will be served. At $3.50 he will
appear on the balcony of the club
house and will be serenaded by 1000
members of the United Singers of
Brooklyn.

TAFT ON COURT REFORM.
PHILADELPHIA Press.l

The laws delay is an ancient evil.
keenly appreciated by laymen who
have been its victims. Some of the
greatest lawyers have been most en-
phatic and decisive in condemning it.
and one of the most conspicuous of
them was Judge Taft before his cleo
ton to the chief magistracy of the
nation. President Taft has not de-
parted from this opinion, but in Chi
cago on Thursday he declared that
there was no subject ON which he felt
so deeply as the necessity for reform
in the administration of civil and
criminal laws.
Delays which work in many cases
denial of justice is the great evil in
our court administration. Civil suits
to redress wrong or enforce a right
may be begun as soon as the cause OF
action arises, and even when there is
no substantial defense a -resourcefu1
lawyer may, on various preteXts, pre-
vent it from coming to trial, often
until several years have elapsed. This
is common grievance, more marked
in some courts and in some jurisdic-
tions than in others, but it is a sub
ject of lamentation and complaint all
over the land.
Many cases neevr come to trial al
all because of this delay. Suitors are
wearied into surrendering their rights
Some regard this as a good thing, be.
cause it discourages litigation, but il
discourages the poor man quicker
than the rich man. After trial an6
verdict, motions for a new trial and
appeals from court to court, protract
the delay and postpone the judgment
indefinitely. Meanwhile lawyers have
to be paid, evidence has to be type
written, paper books printed and costs
piled up. Justice is made so costly
that poor man cannot afford tc
seek his rights through the courts I'M
less he can find a contingent fee law
yer who will himself carry most OF
the expenses and take the chances OF
getting himself most of the sum re-
covered.
Criminal cases in many courts OF
the land are the subject of not great
err, but more scandalous delays, scan
daolus because the public is the pros
ecutor and the violated laws demand
prompt punishment President Taft
says with hearty emphasis: THE adj
ministration of the criminal law in
this country is a disgrace to our civ
iIization" A distinguished justice oil
the United States supreme court
makes similar complaint. 1t is ex-
pressed and repeated by great lawyers
at the annual meetings of bar associa-
tions. 1t is not denied by anyone
but how can it be cured?
The United States courts are less
amenable to- this criticism than the
state courts. The bar ought to take
it up everywhere. The influence OF
the lawyers in such matter is con-
trolling in this country Because it is
controlling and the desire for the re-
form of this evil among the lawyers
of the country is SO weak the pros
pect of change at present is not
very great, even though it has the

inquiry confirming his suspicion he
takes the child up in his arms and
starts for her home.
With mutual recognition the old
love is revived. Weary from years of
abuse and neglect, the wife is about to
yield to his pleading to flee with him
when her little girls return for
goodnight kiss rouses them both to a
sense of duty.
Meanwhile the drunken husband
seated in a grog-shop, is about to raise
glass of liquor to his lips when. as
in vision, there appears ON the wall
above his table a picture of the scene
of his proposal, with himself and the
girl who is now his wife standing as
they stood on the day he placed the
bethroal ring upon her finger
The picture fingers a moment,
arousing indescribable emotions in his
breast. then dissolves into another, the
interior of the great glass factory He
sees a boy-his boy-totter and fall in
the glare of the great furnace, lifted
to his feet, kicked and fall again.
Starting from his chair, the drunk
ard sees the picture melt another, the
interior of his howell, his poor wife
bending in mother love over the cot
where the boy lies white and still.
The picture fades from view, the
glass drops and smashes at his feet.
The vision has wrought in I'm a
wonderful change of heart; in those
few moments was accomplished a
, great work of regeneration.
Sobered and shamed, he hasteus to
the bedside and there, in the presence
of his former rival, renews his VOWS
of love and duty so long forgotten.
A happy ending to a story teeming
with pathos and dramatic interest.

the board of estimate at its first fall
meeting on Friday, will show an in
crease of $27,0O0O00 over the bill of
1909 The budget is expected to
serve as the campaign slogan this
fall.
Final estimates are this week being
hurried into the finance department,
and figures compiled showed that the
sum asked for next years house
keeping expenses by heads of depart
ments reach the total of $183,248, 900.
Nearly every department has asked
for a substantial increase in its al
lowance, and the board of estimate is
already sharpening it's pairing knife to
cut down the budget. The new budget
will be the last the present board will
supervise, and the officials are ex-
pected to indulge in wholesale cuts.
The bureau of municipal research
is now engaged in analyzing the bud
get and is already prepared to point
out where millions may be- saved. AS
each department chief has filed re-
ports showing why his increase is alb
solutely necessary, the task of cutting
the appropriations is not an easy one
The board of education alone asks
for $34,000,000 for next year, an in
crease of $7,000O00. It's bill is one
of the hardest to cut because of the
crying necessity for more schools and
the necessary increase in the teach
ing force. For increase of teachers
salaries, which is mandatory, there is
an item of $6,250,000
The police. department asks for SIG
528,96S, an increase Of $2,364, 1884
over this year. Of the increase ST.
100000 is for advances in salaries of
policemen, salaries of new policemen
and for the pension fund, all of which
are mandatory.
