Workers Of America
The subject dealt with ways and means
10 obtain an eight hour day Delegates
declared that labor would never obtain
what 1t was contending for. as the work

threw away the most powerful weapon
that could be used 10 better his position.
Several delegates said that TO the pro-
miscuous vote-selling among union men
was due TO the many failures Of labor
representatives in their efforts 10 secure
satisfactory laws before State legisla-
lures.
Delegate Thomas Morgan, OF Paterson

At the annual fall convocation Of the
George Washington University yesterday
afternoon. both the lawyers and the law
schools Of the United States were Sc
verely scored by Dean Vance. OF the
University Law School. in the principal
address OF the day.
The system Of night instruction pre-
vailing in the District Of Columbia was
condemned In scathing language, and pro
nounced disgrace to the profession and
the schools. Congress, as the legislative
body for the District, came in for its
share or criticism in permitting, through
loose laws. the organization OF corpora
lions for the instruction in law which
subordinated dollars received in tuition
fees to the ideals of law as a science.
Declaring that it IS the public which
suffers through the low moral tone pre-
vailing at the bar. and inadequate knowl-
edge OF the science OF the law. Dean
Vance said that the remedy must also
come from the public, through it's legis-
latures.
To remove the stigma Of being two
generations behind the rest OF the civil
tied world the speaker demanded that
the requirements for admission to the law
schools be raised. insuring only the en-
trance Of men who have had educa-
ronal training and culture sufficient 70
undertake the study OF the profession
and grasp the ideals whlCh should rule
their careers.
Night Schools Scored.
Dean Vance arraigned the night law
schools, insisting that their courses must
be heightened 10 attain the same stand
ard as the day schools.
Under the present arrangement, he
said, the schools Of Washington are do
ing more than any other single influence
20 food the country with poor lawyers
owing wholly to the pernicious system
Of rating a few hours Of night work as
the equivalent OF day study.

Fembled in University Hall at 4:45 o'clock
On the platform were gathered Judge
Thomas Ii. Anderson. Or. +. NJ. Gallau-

PRAISES THE LANGUAGE.
DR.. FernRId Pays Compliments to
English I'm Lecture.


English I'm Lecture.
The English language, due to its
simplicity. Is fast becoming the language
of the world" Is a statement made by DR..
James c. Fernald in a lecture on The
simplicity Of English" at the Young
Mems Christian Association last night.
THE simplicity Of a language" said
the speaker. depends upon the absence
OF infections, and casual glance az
other languages shows that the English
tongue is free from this burden. An
infusion Of language always means sim
plicity."
DR.. Fernald expresses a belief that II
would have been impossible for Shakes
peare to have produced his great dramas
IN any other language than the English.
and due to its simplicity, is the glory
of his works"

One Of the soldiers had thrown Fox under table and he called out to the other to shoot the Indian Fox siezed a gun and killed the man i'm staptly. He was tried and acquitted on the grounds of self defonse. Both soldiers were drunk.
 Fox is about 30 years old and has lived at Haiues for number of years
