England Aroused by
Justices Justice
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. May 81. 1910
rVERY now and again the British
r. public is reused out of it's lethargy
on the subject of the administra-
ton OF the poor mans courts by some
particularly fragrant example of the stu.
pidity of the unpaid justices of the peace
who administer the law all over England
except in the largest towns. Just now
| the public is going through one of its
periodical paroxysms on account Of the
case Of Charles Bullock and the Hay
wards Heath justices.
Charles Bullock is thirteen years old.
He Is an excellent character and is a. the
top of his class in school. His father Is
a steady, respectable man employed by
the village blacksmith at Hayward s
Heath. village near London. a few
weeks ago Mrs. Bullock told Charlie one
evening that he would have to fetch some
coal the next morning, and. fearing that
he would be late for school, he stole q
lump OF coal valued at 10 cents from the
yard of neighboring contractor. \
policeman saw him: he was arrested and
the justices sentenced him to be birched
and then to be sent for six years TO an
industrial school, which Is nothing but
a prison for boys.
The ferocity of the sentence attracted
SO much attention that it was discussed
In parliament and the home secretary
was forced to Quash the sentence and
return the boy to his parents.
But nothing has been done by the
authorities in any way 10 indicate that
they believe the Hayward's Heath jus
tees are not ideal persons to sit in
judgment on their fellows and it is not
likely that anything will be done. After
a while the public will go to sleep again
and will slumber on until some other
case awakes 1t for a few days.
The trouble Is that England has out
grown the system of unpaid justices. In
the old days the justices were the county
gentlemen. the squires and the noble
local parsOn thrown in II he was man
of sufficient social standing and of an
age that guaranteed discretion. Now the
appointment has been made one of the
minor rewards of political activity and
the local radical or tory spouter. the
leader I'm the dissenting chapel the loud
est teetotal reformer and the small
tradesman who has made money sit on
the bench with the squire and over
rule him in most things. The chief fault
of the old-style magistrates was that

stances they knew The new men in
many cases seem to have sought seat

er;; As result Of this they often rely

ter. AS result Of this they often rely
pit1aDly on the police superintendent of
the district and dociieiy obey his direc-
tons. In the Hayward's Heath case it
! turns out that the combination Of birch
ing and imprisonment was wholly illegal
and that in any case the magistrates
had no power to lock the boy up for
more than three years. The police super
lntendent at Hayward's Heath, however,
is man who believes strongly in the
virtue of the industrial school as q re-
formative agent and who boasts that he
has sent scores of boys there. He de-
clares, and the magistrates admit, that
he suggested the course taken in Char
lies case. 'and Furthermore il is not de-
MED that he informed the justices pri-
vately that the boys home surroundings
We're bad. statement which turns out to
be quite untrue. In giving this Informal
ton privately and not from the witness
box under oath. the superintendent also
acted illegally and the magistrates were
equally outside the law in accepting and
acting on this irregular evidence.
In spite of these disclosures the re-
lease of Charlie Bulbeck is the only re-
suit OF the agitation. Nothing has been
said about the other boys who have gone
from Hayward's Heath To industrial
schools or the hundreds who have prob
ably suffered from similar illegalities in
other parts Of the country. The magiS-
trates think they have been badly treat
ed and it doesn't seem To occur to them
that ii is up to them to resign and con-
fine their energies to street preaching or
selling groceries.
No one denies that a leaven of local
knowledge and association is a good
thing on the magistrates bench, but it
is generally conceded now that a little
legal knowledge is also good thing.
The most practical suggestion yet made
for the reform of the bench is the APP
pointment of trained lawyers as paid
stipendiary magistrates TO sit as chair
men of the boards of Justice. Such men
could be appointed for large districts
covering perhaps dozen of the present
areas. and as the justices sit only once a
week once a fortnight in the country
districts such a man could easily he pres
ent at every sitting in his district and
keep the local men in check. IN the
case of majority OF a bench overruling
the stipendiary he would be in a posi-
! ton to draw the attention of the proper
authorities promptly to any miscarriage
of the justice.
OF course. in London and the other
large towns there is no such problem.
The police courts there are stated by
lawyers. who are we'll paid and appointed
for life.

Browne Cleared by jury.

Chicago, Sept. 10. Lee O'Neil
Browne, minority leader in the Illinois
legislature, charged with bribery In
connection with the election of William
Lorimer to the United States senate,
was found not guilty by the jury In
the criminal court. This was Brownies
second trial. The jury disagreed in
the first trial.
The verdict coming on the heels of
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's slap at
Senator Lorimer, when he had the
senator excluded from the banquet
rendered Roosevelt by the HamiltGh
club of this city, caused a sensation.
Browne was charged specifically with
giving Representative White, who is a
Lorimer for the United States senate,
but several other Democratic legisla-
tors confessed to having received
money from Browne after voting for
Lorimar,
That the RoOsevelt-Lorimer incident
to attend the Hamilton club banquet
unless the invitation to Senator Lori
mer was recalled will result neither In
any resentment toward the club Off
Gals on the part Of Lorimer or his
friends in the club nor in any manner
altering the status of the organization
toward Colonel Roosevelt is the con-
sensus of opinion among leading club
members.
Aegeneral feeling of regret over the
incident is evident. 1t was the only
shadow on the most brilliant and sue
cessful banquet in the history of the
club.
Senator Lorimer himself is silent
with regard to the. episode, and his
closest personal friends have nothing
to say publicly, although privately
they express the opinion that under all
the rules of fairness II the square
deal" Colonel Roosevelt was too hasty.

GUGGENHEIMS CONTROL
IN NEVADA COPPER

New York, Sept. 10:-Active con
troll of the Nevada Consolidated
Copper Company has finally passed
to the Utah Copper Company, suffl-
cient additional stock having been
acquired by the latter concern, it
was learned Thursday, to give 1t a
majority of the 100000 shares
outstanding.
Early in the year there was a
spirited contest for control of the
Nevada Consolidated. which 1t was
proposed to merge with the Utah
company, between the Guggenheims
and interests identified with the
Nevada company. who contested the
equity of the exchange of their
stock for Utah stock on a IN to l
basis.
At the close of the contest 1t was
said that the Guggenheims had Sc
cured a little over $4,000 shares of
Nevada, or over $4,000 shares less
than a majority. How much stock
the Guggenheims have secured since
10 not stated, but 1t must be more
than $4,000 shares. A considerable
amount of this stock, 1t was said,
was acquired in the open market,
where 1t Is now selling at between
$40 and s21 a share.
