SYSTEM BEHIND TIMES.
Reform in Legal Procedure Must Come
Says Committee.

New York. June 1.-The system un-
der which the law is administered in
this country is 100 years behind the
age: the procedure in equity cases is
scandal to our jurisprudence; many
cases are decided not on their merits,
but purely on technical questions; and
not only must something be done about
it, but something will be done about
it, is the sum and substance in legal
proc edure of the National Bar Asso-
citation and the National Civic Fedora
ton at the conclusion of conference
held today at the LAWYERS Club at the
invitation of EX-Judge Alton B. Park
er.
Ninety per cent. of the proverbial
laws delays" saws the statements. are
due to the system under which the
law is administered rather than to the
intention OF the attorneys Interested
in suits or the benefit resulting to eth
er side from delays. AS matter of
fact it is to everybody's interest to
have law suits quickly and cheaply
disposed Of
The statement goes on to explain
that one-third of the questions decid-
ed by courts of last resort are said to
he questions of practice and procedure
of which an altogether unnecessary
percentage of decision relates to the
useless science of appellate procedure.
1t ought not to require any science to
OBTAIN a review in an appellate court
of the decision of a lower court.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Connie Mack, son Of the manager of
the Philadelphia Athletics, has left
Notre Dame University to begin pro-
fessional baseball career. At present
he is with his fathers team, but he
will soon join the Utica club of the
New York State League. At Notre
Dame Young Mack was a member of
the ball team.
Princeton and Penn will play no
third game to decide the thinning tie
contest waged at Princeton last Sat
urday. The Tigers are on their mettle
for the Yale series, and Manager Ar
thur J. Donovan says that no chances
will be taken with an extra game with
Penn. The reason for preference being
given to Harvard and Yale series is
that the '"r" and the gold champion
ship baseballs are presented to the
members of the Varsity team on the
basis of results in the Harvard and
Yale series only.
College baseball stars are pretty well
distributed this year, and the smaller
institutions have their share. Notable
among the diamond luminaries is
Frank Mt. Pleasant, the Indian, whose
record as a member of the Dickinson
nine. is attracting the attention of
the big league scouts. Mt. Pleasant has
pitched three games, winning them ALL
has caught and played in left field. The
Dickinson team has played more than
20 games and the Indian has come
through with a batting average OF
.424.
The suspension and fine of 500 i'm
posed on Manager Thomas j. Connery
Of the Hartford Connecticut League)
team Tuesday night by President w.
j. Tracy of the league, has been with
drawn by Mr.. Tracy, it is announced.
The penalty was imposed as result
of letter written May 90 by Connery
to Tracy, which the latter character
lied as insulting to himself and the
league. Tracy and Connery met in
New Britain Tuesday and mutual con-
cessions resulted in an amicable ad-
juStment of the difficulty.

CHARGES NOT YET PROVEN.
Chief kohler of Cleveland Helped by
Witnesses Against Him.

Cleveland, o., June 1.-The second
Gay of the trial of Chief of Police Fred
Kohler, Cleveland's Golden Rule
Chief" on charges of immortality, in
toxivation and INSTRUMENTATION was a
decidedly bright one for the defence.
Early in the hearing the prosecution
put upon the stand their chief wit
ness, a woman of the red light dis
trict, who was expected to prove the
more serious charges of immortality.
In substance all the testimony that
this woman gave was that she had once
seen Chief kohler drinking wine in a
disCrderly house.
The next important witness was Pat
rick j. l.. Brown, a former policeman
OF Munice, Ind, and one of the two
men who signed the charges against
the accused official. Brown complain
ed that on one occasion when his au-
tomobile was stolen Kohler refused TO
listen to his complaint and ordered
him out of his office. On cross-exami-
nation he admitted that he bet money
on the result of the trial and that he
also made q bet of 500 in January that
he would get Kohler yet"
Several witnesses testified to having
erent occasions. but the evidence was
contradictory and in certain of the
cases cause for animus was shown.
Three policemen who took the stand
were proven to have been punished or
degraded by the chief on one or more
charges.

Worried Student
joys Along Home

New Bedford, Mass, June 1.-Wil-
liam r. Billiard, the I6-year- old son of
DR.. John T. Billiard Of this city, who
has been missing since last Wednesday.
when he suddenly left Groton, where
he was student, appeared at his home
here this morning after a tramp last
night from BakertoWn, village about
five miles from New Bedford, where he
has been staying during the last three
days, while his parents. aided by the
press the police of several cities ana
numerous detectives, had been making
frantic search for him.
The boy was very tired from MS
weeks experience, having tramped all
the way from Groton, village several
miles outside of Worcester, to Ne"
Bedford, and having lived out of doors
all of the time He was in good health
when he reached home today, however
and after a rest of a few days it is be-
lieyed. he will have suffered no serious
consequences from his exposure.
As had been anticipated, the boy left
Crotch because Of the worry over ms
studies. He was afraid that he would
not pass the term examinations and
unusual application to his books in an
effort to cover his courses thoroughly,
added to the constantly increasing wOr-
nv that he might fail, 50 worked on
his mind. that he wandered away, de-
termined TO go out of the way some
where, and by himself fight out the
battle until he had overcome his disap-
pointmert and the melancholia which
had possessed him.
Accordingly he set out on foot and
simply walked along in the general
direction Of New Bedford. sleeping
wherever night overlook him and tell
ing those with whom he came in con-
tact. that he was headed for home in
New Bedford. But although he reach
ed Fall River SATURDAY., and attempted
to pawE an opal stickpin to secure
money enough to take him home on
the cars. he did not come to this city,
but after being unsuccessful in getting
any rooney on the trinket, walked Off
again down through BrOckton and
Dartmouth and for the past three days
has been walking around in that vicin-
ity.
Last night he determined to come
home The boy, while away, had not
seen any newspapers, and had not
realized the worry which he was caus-
ing his family.
From his own story Of his travels, 1t
Is shown that the reports of his ap-
pearance in different towns were cor
rect He left Groton nearly Thursday
morning, walking. Friday morning
about S o'clock he asked an officer in
Natick the way to Mansfield and the
patrolman gave him what information
he wanted. Friday evening he was in
Norton. few miles outside of Taun-
ton. and slept in a barn there that
night Saturday he continued on his
way to Fan River where he tried to
pawn the stickpin. That afternoon he
continued on his way and arrived in
Bakertown.
Contrary to the theory which had
been advanced by those interested in
the weeks hunt for the boy, he did not
make application for employment any
where. either as a chauffeur or in any
other line OF work.

HAeEAS CORPUS WRIT
For Lady Frances Cook Granted
Complaint Later Withdrawn.

New York. June IA writ of habeas
corpus for Lady Frances Cook, the
suffragette. better remembered in this
country as Tennessee Clafiin. was
granted tonight in the state supreme
court to Mary Spar, Lady Cooks sis
ter. The petition on which the grant
was allowed recited that Lady Cook,
who was old and feeble, was restrained
OF her liberty by John Floyd Hume
and his wife Mabel; that Lady Cook
was being secreted from her relatives
and that she was allowed to spend no
money on her own needs. Mr.. Hume
who is a newspaper man with whom
Lady Cook sometimes makes her home
when she is in this country said that
Lady Cooks estate, which she inherit
ed from her husband, is strictly en-
tailed under the laws of England and
that not penny of it could be di-
verted from the family.
The complaint was subsequently
withdrawn, when Willard r. Spar, a
son of the complainant and a nephew
of Lady Cook, informed his mother
that she was wholly in error. Inas-
much as Willard Sparr is Lady Cooks
business manager, his explanations
were accepted.
