CRITICISM OF

Permitting of but One Appeal
After Trial.

New York, Feb. 1.-The courts,
their delays and the cost of litigation
are Justly criticized" says Justice
Brewer of the u. S. supreme court in
an interview given out here today.
Justice Brewer is i'm New York TO
preside at meeting of the Civic For
um tonight.
In his discussion of judicial evils he
says i'm part;
mo Judge ought to object to any fair
criticism and no just judge will so OBJ
icct. There is no duty more impera-
tive upon the bar and bench than to
do what they can to simplify matters,
to put technicalities out of the way
and see that substantial justice is ad-
ministered
"The seat of the whole trouble in
my opinion is in fact that too many
appeals are granted when justice does
not demand il. Our courts trifle with
Justice by permitting delay after delay
upon mere technicalities.

AS indicating the laxity and tardi

ports had been received from the
health officers up to the time this

taken for the restriction of the disease;
and that, in instances, no pre- cautions

observed.
Since the new law which requires
reports of every case of tuberculosis
i'm this state. took effect, there has been
a marked increase in the number of

his head against the steel door Of one

Marshal Trudell states that he was
in his office, when he heard a racket
i'm the Jail He was minus his coat
and vest, and rushed into the jsll
without waiting to don his jacket As
soon as the, officer spoke TO the man,
Toivanen turned round and seeing
Chief Trudell's revolver prominently
sticking out of his hip pocket. made a
grab at IL. The officer sprang at the
man and grabbed both his hands. Toi-
vanen pleaded hard with the officer to
shoot him, but was informed that was
contrary To the laws of Michigan. He
then asked to be taken TO Houghton

bullet"
Marshal Trudell said that the man
had very narrow escape from achlev-
ing his aim of putting an end to fiis
life. He was aiming for the sharp
edge of the lock on the door, running
full tilt at it as the officer entered the

the sharp steel lock, but nevertheless

WESTON LEAVES los ANGELES
FOR A Walk TO new YORK
Veteran Pedestrian Will Endeav-
or to Make the Distance
in 100 Days.
MUST AVERAGE As MILES DAY

Los Angeles. Cal, Feb. with 9
message or greeting from the mayor ol
Los Angeles to the mayor of New Yorl
Edward Payson Weston, the veteran
long distance walker, this afternoon
starts from this city on a walk across
the continent to New York, to be ac-
complishcd, according to his schedule
In 100 days. The trip as mapped out
calls for walk of about 4,50O miles
He expects to average forty-fiv miles
day, but this is a conservative esti-
mate for him, for in his previous long
distance tours he has averaged ovei
fifty miles a day, and on some days
has accomplished over ninety miles.
In order to make his tour literally
walk from ocean to ocean, Weston
proceeds today to Santa Monica, q
coast suburb of Los Angeles, and will
make that point the actual starting
place of his transcontinental trip. over
a large part of his journey he will fol-
low the tracks of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa F'e railroad. Arriving at Chi
NhSbt VIII plONttu llltliCC W NtN
York over the route which he has be-
come thoroughly familiar with on his
previous tours.
Weston's splendid physical condition
leaves little doubt i'm the minds of his
friends that he will make an even
greater triumph of this journey than
he did of his transcontnental trip last
year, when i'm the face of many OBJ
stacles he succeeded i'm walking from
New York to San Francisco in 1O4
days.
Following the usual custom, which
he has rigidly observed from his early
years, the veteran pedestrian will not
walk on Sundays. Adhering to his
prescribed limit of 100 walking days
therefore, he will arrive at the city hall
in New York on the afternoon of May
2S, but he has secret ambitions of ar
riving slightly ahead of time.
Weston will be 72 years old next
month. He has been recognized fac
tor in pedestrianlsm since 1861. in
which year he walked from Boston to
Washington To witness the Inaugural
ton of President Lincoln. Six years
later he aroused deep interest through
out the country by walking from Port
land. Me-, to Chicago in thirty days
and In 1907, at the age of 20, he ac-
complished the same task in even less
time.
One of Weston's most remarkable
feats was i'm 1879, when he covered the
distance of $50 miles in six days. On
his transcontinental trip last year he
left New York on March Is and ar
rived in San Francisco July Is.
