Even Massachusetts people admit them.

one newspaper expresses it, @The wonder
is that the legal profession Of this com

ISOLATION to its distinct advantage will
be vouched for BY the followers Of the
history Of the Vermont Bar association.
This organization, which draws all the
lawyers Of Vermont into closer com
munity Of interest, also serves to main.
tain the standard Of the legal profession
BY frowning upon doubtful practices and
BY insisting that its members live up to
the ethics Of the profession. In this
way, the Vermont Bar association is Of
undoubted benefit to the general public
of the state. Then, there are many
other features Of the organized society,
which may be more strictly confined to
the members themselves, notably the So
cial value Of closer relationship which
it brings outside Of the courtroom and
the law Office Massachusetts, lawyers
will find it to their benefit. if they are
able to form an association similar to
that which has been a power in Vermont
for 50 many years. The problem Of
organizing there will be far more diff
cult, to be sure, because Of the greater
number Of eligible members and because
Of their less closely allied interests; but

could sec her and hear her taunts, they
were prevented from securing her be-

HHE first message directed to Los

heretofore were general relating to the

to Mr. woodruff marks the mutation
of commercial service between Los An
geleS and Hawaii.
For a month or two, or until the local
station is raised to five kilowatt power,
the United Wireless company does not
consider it feasible to begin COM
mercial service with Honolulu, but
with that change the company expects
to be able to accept messages ior
Hawaiian points or ships at sea be-
tween there and Pacific ports. In the
meantime, however, the local station
can receive from Honolulu, as the sta
ton at Kahuk point is ten klloWatt

excellent intermediate station for points

great strides, and especially after the

Importance to keep in touch with ocean

"All ships of any Importance, and es-

such thing as the wires being down

be considered a great comfort to any
traveller to know that while on the

TRIAL OF SUPERVISORS IN

District Attorney Challenges Entire
Venire and Judge Dismsses
Talesmen

REDWOOD CITY, Cal, March q
The cases against Supervisors Black
burn and Coleman and former Super
visors Debenedette and Eikancotter,
charging misconduct in office i'm rela-
ton to the awarding of contract on
the new court house, involving the
same matter upon which District At
torney Bullock was acquitted, came up
for trial before Judge Dooling this
morning.
Deputy Attorney General Benjamin,
conducting the prosecution, interposed
a challenge to the whole venire OF 100
on the ground that it was picked by
the board of supervisors, of which
Blackburn and Coleman are members,
and if the venire tried these cases 1t
would put the defendants in the posi-
ton of selecting their own jury.
Judge Dooling allowed the challenge
and dismissed the whole panel
Attorney Benjamin then informed the
court that he would attempt to disqual-
ity the sheriff, r. S. Cheatham, and the
coroner, II. G. Plymire, and asked for
a continuance of one day.
This was granted and the cases set
for o'clock Thursday to dispose of

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Seven
members of the committee ON judiciary

the Tennessee Iron and Coal company
by the United states Steel corporation,

Chairman Clark today reported ths
disagreement in the committee, anu

scented the views of the seven hiein-

These were signed by Senators Nei-

Mr. Nelson thinks, however, that lIe
president may have been misled OF

States steel corporation. Messrs. Flick
and Gary, who urged upon him the ne
cessitv of permitting the steel corpora
ton to buy the Tennessee corporation
in order to save a business institution
of New York city during the panieky
DAYS of October and November, 1907;
Mr.. Bacon expressed doubt whethei
the senate should pronounce hnally on
the question whether the president
committed a wrongful act. for the rea-
son that the senate is judge In I'M
parchment proceedings.
He takes the position that the merger
was Illegal, but that the senate should
not take any action to prejudice any
proceedings that might hereafter De
brought before it.
From the report signed and submit
ted ii appears that if 1t had not been
for the illness of Senator Bacon and MS

the report declaring the president acted
without authority of law would not
have been adopted.
The disagreement from the resolp,

will expire with the close of the present
session.
