Those Here Ou6r1cOrked, Says
4delbert Moot.

Rochester Jan. 20-Keen interest was
aroused at the annual meeting of the New
York State Bar Association this afternoon
when the retiring president, Adelbert Moot

ment of twenty-nine Supreme Court jus
tices to greater New York, while forty-two
were assigned to what he termed the
country districts
The greater New York justices, said Mr..
Moot, were overworked and the courts we're
from three to five years behind their sched-
ules. Upstate, in some districts, he said
justices were not doing one-tenth the work
their brethren in the metropolis were doing
and they should, he said, be required 10
share the burden in the congested districts
Politics should be entirely eliminated
from the election of judges. Mr.. Moot said
and at the close of his address the COM
mittee on judiciary was instructed to pre-
pare a memorial and present II to the pres
ent Legislature. asking that way be de-
vised to remove judicial nominations from

PRESS COMMENT.
Unionist Newspapers Utter a
Chorus of JuMlatiOn.

London, Jan. GA chorus of jubilation
arises from the Conservative journals this
morning. The Daily Telegraph" says:
with splendid blow the counties
have changed the whole situation in a way
which promises to smash the hopes of the
Radical coalition TO pieces and to leave the
government, at the best. utterly dependent
upon the Irish and Socialist vote and con-
fronted by an adverse majority of the
British people. Throughout the country the
Unionists in a most remarkable manner
have increased their own and decreased the
Liberal majorities. All this assures the
Unionists that. whether they triumph out
right now OF a little later, the future is
their own if they only know how to play
the greatest of games. We have now
reached the most dramatic moment of the
greatest electoral conflict in living
memory.
THE Standard" similarly commenting
upon the increasing force of the Unionist
reaction and the enormous increase in the
Unionist voting. puts its finger upon the
curious fact that while the bulk of the
large manufacturing districts oppose tar
iff reform the agricultural districts appear
to favor ii. The Standard" says:
I'm all the country divisions where the
results have been declared, the Minister
ialists held their ground only where the
constituency was practically urban and
manufacturing. Where IL has been rural
and agricultural, the Unionist candidate
has either been elected or has missed
election only by an ace"
THE Morning Post" pretectonist or
gan, in a less confident frame of mind
says: "Al signs point 10 the two parties
as being OF about equal strength. 1t would
seem that the nation as whole las not as
yet made UP its mind as to the course it
wishes TO follow. There has been no de-
cisve movement of opinion either on one
side the other, such as was seen In
1895, 1900 and 1906. The nation stands at
the parting of the ways. and must soon de-
eide between two widely diverging paths"
The editorials in the Liberal papcrs take
very subdued tone, but still are full of
hope. THE Chronicle says: "At the
worst, the Liberal majority iiay he re-
duced to seventy or eighty"
II then proceeds to explain that the re-
verses In the counties were due less to
detection of Liberal votes than 10 the Iarse
reserves the Tories brought to the polis
mainly through the extensive ernpIoyment
of motor cars.
Premier Asquith had TO submit apair

Paris Jan. 20.-The court to-day dis
missed the case growing out of the at
tempted seizure of lace curtains furnished
for the residence in the Avenue du Bois dc
Boulogne OF Mrs. John G. A. Leishman,
wife of the United States Ambassador to

The court decided that it was simply
question of disputed BILL and that the
standing OF Mrs. Leishnan should have
protected her against seizure. Mrs. I-eish-
man was not in the city when trades
which he valued at s1.soO. and for which
he had not been paid. In the absence of
Mrs. Leishman the correctness of the bill
was questioned and the seizure resisted.

man in the heavies, if they were

Sam Langford is not the man, in fact
he is too small His reach is short
