Wigs and sheriffs, but Are Less
Formal Than Here.
TRIALS HURRIED RIGHT ALONG
Greatest Respect is Shown Toward
Members of Jury.
NO CRoss-ExAMNATIoN ALLOWED
Newspapers Are Not Permitted to
Express an Opinion After the
Case ON Trial Has COm-
menced.

LONDON, Aug. T.--(Special Teiegram.)-
John d. Lawson of St Louis and Edwin r.
Keedy Of Chicago, who have been in Lon
don to study the proceedings Of the London
criminals courts for the American Institute
of Law and Criminology and the American
Bar association. have completed their inves-
tigstion and their report is almost in shape
FOR presentation. They brought credentials
from President Taft which secured for
them every aid from the English courts.
The reports will say in part:
England has a more business like way
of procedure. Although they have outward
evidences Of form in the way OF wigs, sher-
iffs and the like, they really are less fomal
than we
THE most striking differences in the sys-
TENS are tho quick manner in selecting
1uries and the short time between sentence
and final judgment on appeal.
1--WE begun our work by reading the news
paper accounts, then going TO the police
courts and following the cases through TO
thu court of appeals. One such case was
completed in six weeks. In another muir
der case. the date OF hanging was fixed
three months after the crime. all this, not
withstandlng that every person has the
right Of appeal.
zone difference we noted was the absence
pf challenging Of jurors. England allows no
fishing by cross examination apparently
considering it no more necessary to examine
q juror than a judge.
I'VE think one reason for the American
conditions is that the prosecuting officers
are pigeon-holed. Newspapers are respon-
to take up new things and the old-ones
ere pigeon hoed Newspapers are respon-
sible for some OF the conditions found in
American covrta English papers are for
bidden to express an opinion of a case after
the trial commences. The result is that
the reports from the London papers are
frequently cited IN court.
zone special incident in Birmingham in
terested US. The Judges were kept waiting
for the grand Jury 20 bring in a bill. having
absolutely Hothinu on the docket to try.
Then two bills were brought In and the
prisoner was brought to trial Immediately.
"A new trial granted in America on tech

movement before all the state legislatures
TO bring about much needed remedies"

NEW YORK, Aug. 7-(Speclal Telegram
Thomas A. Edison, in a signed statement,
said today:
I'VE are face to face with aerial navi-
gation-face to face with It on a scale
of which we have never dreamed, In ten
years flying machines will be used to carry
the mails. They will carry passengers, too.
They will go at a speed of 100 miles an
hour.
There is no doubt of IT, Anything within
reason can be accomplished. The CONNER
cially successful flying machine is within
reason. Ask me II man ever jumped from
the earth to the moon and 1 will reply
NO. because It is not within reason. But
the flying machne-that's different. it's
got to come.
Il never saw an invention develop more
rapidly. l wish mine would come that
way; mine come hard.
The flying machines In which the United
States will carry the mails ten years from
now, VIII be small-iust as small as they
can be, and do the business. The smaller
they are the less resistance they will offer
to the air. but they will have powerful
engines and will go at great speed.
They will travel 100 miles an hour.
Eventually they win go a great deal faster.
The flying machine need not be especially
dangerous to human life and will not be.
We put tenders on street cars 10 prevent
them from killing people and in the same
manner we shall equip flying machines
with a safety device by which means they
