Here the attorney general quoted
from the report of a committee some
time ago appointed by the faculty Of
arts and sciences of Harvard, which
expressed, the opinion that in awarding
high rank or distinction in college, en-
phasis should be laid more largely than
it is upon ability to deal with facts
and principles as compared with in
formation acquired or memory.
Ideal of Legal Profession.
''It is precisely that ability which is
the ideal of the legal profession" said
Mr.. Wickersham, and the achievement
is Characteristic of its most honored
leaders and is utterly inconsistent with
a contentment with mediocre things.
That clear thought, sound learning
and a consummate ability to deal with
facts may be attained without a law
school training is abunGantly attested
by many illustriOus examples. Many
examples may be cited to sustain the
theory. But as early as Blackstone's
day, thoughtful lawyers realized that
only occasional and exceptional men ac-
complished good results by this hap
hazard sort of education.
Collective Instructions
But the tendency of all collective
instruction is undoubtedly to discour-
age the free development of individual
characteristics, to induce conformity
with conventional standards and TO
furnish the mind with a certain ex-
cellent equipment admirably adapted
to the ordinary exigencies of life, but
not always fitted to attack and master
exceptional difficulties. The genius of
Langdell rescued the Harvard Law
School from that tendency.

Two Governors Have Passed
Up Responsibility
FAMOUS PENNSYLVANIA CASE
MRS. TATE EDWARDS HAS AL
READY SPENT NINE YEARS IN
JAIL ALTHoUeH SENTENCED
TO BE HANGED a LEGACY
NEW GOVERNOR FALLS HEIR TO

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 90 Among
the legacies Governor Stuart will
leave for John X. Tener, his successor,
when he retires from ONCE next
month is the disposal OF the case Of
Mrs. Tate Edwards who is in the
Berks county jail under sentence of
death for the murder of her husband
about nine years ago.
Because of public sentiment stirred
up at the time OF her conviction
against hanging a woman, two gov
errors have passed up her case to
their successors.
Mrs Edwards and negro named
Gleason were arrested for the muir
der Of her husband. The colored man
was the paramour Of the woman and
the husband declared he would kill
her; so that in fear, IL not in a sort
of self-defense, she killed him one
night and threw the body into a we'll.
Mrs Edwards and the negro were
tried for the murder and Gleason on
a re-trial was acquitted, though once
convicted, but the woman was con-
yicted and sentenced to be hanged.
Meanwhile Mrs. Edwards has occu-
pied cell in the Berks county Jail
and is said to be most exemplary
prisoner.

GIRL Turns TABLES
ON BOLD BANDITS
PRETENDs TO SEEK FOR HER
PURSE, BUT PRODUCES GUN
INSTEAD.

Omaha, Dec. 20-After two high
waymen had held up and robbed Max
Wendt, Miss Lille Willis, Is years Of
age, put them to flight when they at
tempted to rob her of her purse
Wendt had not gone more than a
block from the shopping district when
he was confronted by two men. One
trust revolver into his face, COM
manded him to hold up his hands,
while the other went through his
pockets, securing his money and val
uables. Wendt proceeded on his way.
A few minutes later Miss Willis, a
clerk in a department store, came
along the same street. The two high
waymen, hidden behind a telephone
pole, stepped into the middle of the
sidewalk as she came opposite their
place of hiding and one of them, pre-
senttng revolver, commanded:
Up with your hands and be quick
about it."
Instead of doing so, Miss Willis went
down into her handbag as If to pro-
duce her purse. But instead of bring
ing forth the coin, she quickly drew
forth a wicked little revolver, and
pointing 1t into the face OF one of the
men, remarked:
Now you get and be quick about
It,"
Without waiting to argue, the men
turned and ran, Miss Willis sending
five bullets after them.

RUNAWAY
CARS CAUSE
!. OF DISASTER
Probe Into Cause Of N. Y. Elk.
ploSiOn On
Main Gas Pipe Feed Broken
byBig Crash
Cars Rammed Through Bumper
Into Side Of Building

|. New York, Dec. Naturalization Of
the causes of the explosion in the New
York Central power house yesterday,
which resulted in ten deaths, the in
jury of more than 100 persons and
loss estimated at upwards of $1,000
600 was continued with zeal today by
the city and the company.
Although the exact source OF the
disaster has not been determined. IL
is generally conceded that the first
cause Of the upheaval was a runaway
train of electric cars in the central cut
near Fiftieth street and Lexington
avenue that crashed over the bumper
against the house, broke a feed pipe
and caused large quantity Of gas to
accumulate in the power house base
ment.
This was detonated possibly
by an electric spark from
short circuit. The motorman
OF the train. Albert seagroatt, was
unable to stop the cars in time to
avoid their disastrous crash into the
bumper. The whole trouble may be
decided to have been due to slippery
rails or to some other apparently tri-
vial cause.
All during the night hundreds Of
laborers were kept busy in clearing
away the twisted iron framework and
heavy beams. Portions of the wreckage
was not touched, being set apart by
police officials and representatives OF
the district attorneys Office to be

road company superintendent the work.

to have been the cause of the disaster.
was not touched. The authorities be-
lieve the number of deaths will not be
more than eleven.
The worlSmen were given a scare
this morning when an explosion in the
wreclzage occurred. This was due to a
quantity of gas and the shock knocked

TAWNEY URGED
FOR CANAL JOB
GOVERNsHIP OF. ISTHMUs MAY
BE OFFERED TO MIN
NEsoTAN.

Washington, d. G., Dec. 2G That
the governorship Of the eaI.sa zone
is likely to be offered to Representa-
tive James A. Tawney of Minnesota
after his retirement next March 4, is
asserted here. Representative Burle-
son Of Texas, one of the strongest
democrats of the house appropriations
committee, in an interview which was
published in Saturday afternoon pa
pers, said some very complimentary
things about Mr.. Tawney and inti-
mated that the president will be asked
to give him big appointment, provided
Tawney is willing Whether he de-
sires to continue in public life, how
ever, is not known. All that he has
said up to this time leads to the con-
clusion that he will return to Winona
and take up the practice of law; but
1t is, OF course, immensely gratifying
to know that the entire house OF rep
resentatives, democrats as we'll as re-
publicans, is heartily in favor of hay
ing the president do something for
him.
President Taft, as is we'll known
places a high value upon Tawney's
work as a member of the house, and
was very anxious that he be returned
to congress. AS chairman of the APP
preparations committee, Tawney has
been a valued helper OF the admins
tration. The presidents defense of
Tawney in the famous Winona speech
will come to mind in that connection.
The matter of an appointment, how
ever, thus far is in the talking stage.
Word from the White House is to the
effect that the matter has not come
up there in any form.

new SHIP SUBSIDY
Plan Under WAY
PROPOSITION FOR LEGISLATION
/ COVERING SOUTH AMERICAN
TRANSPORTATION SUB
MITTED TO
TAFT.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-During the
past week a new proposition for the en-
actment of ship subsidy legislation has
been placed before the president which
he is inclined to favor
The outlook for the enactment of
Gallinger and Humphrey bills in the
senate and house respectively is not
bright, These hills both provide for
an increase in pay for the transporta-
tion of mail to South America and the
orient, the Humphrey bill, however,
including a free ship provision that
has been advocated by the Merchant
Marine league.
President Taft is anxious that a.
start be made, through legislation, to-
ward the upbuilding Of an American
merchant marine. The proposition that
is now pending provides for the en-
actment of legislation covering only
transportation to South America. In
the presidents. present view of the
case, the merits of the ship subsidy
proposition can be tested in this way.
Should it prove successful in increas-
ing the number of American vessels
in the South American trade, it can be
extended to vessels in the oriental
trade.
Advocates of ship subsidy legislation
are not committed to the new PROPOSE
ton, and nothing definite will be done
until after the holidays. 1t is expected
that conference will be held at the
White House early in January when
ship subsidy legislation in all its phases
will be considered. Following this con-
ference there will, in all probability
come definite announcement of the
administration programme on this sub
ject.

RUSSIAN IS RELEASED.
Case of the Fugitive at Winnipeg is
Dropped by Gear.

Winnipeg, Dec. 2O.--After one of the
most sensational trials in the history
of Canadian courts, Savva Federenko,
charged with killing a Russian spy In
escaping from the cars domain, was
given his liberty today and the two
Russian detectives left for home
without their man.
The case has attracted world wide
attention. The Russian government
spent thousands of dollars locating the
fugitive and thousands in legal efforts
to extradite him. The Russians OF
st. Paul Chicago, New York and other
American cities, contributed a large
fund In defense of the prisoner, and
they were determined to take the case
to the privy council in final effort
to save Frederenkos life. as it was
known he would be shot as a danger
Gus revolutionist If he was taken back.
He secured brief liberty on techni-
cal point, but was rearrested.
Today the Russian government
cabled to drop the case. Federenko
will go to the United States at once.
