Especial Gable 10 The Call

LONDON, Aug. 6--John ID. Lawson
of st. Louis, representing the Ameri-
can bar association, and Edwin R.
Keedy of Chicago, representing the
American institute of law and crimin-
oIogy, have been in London for three
months studying English criminal pro-
cedure. They are preparing a report
for their organizations and also for
President Taft, with the view of in
augurating a campaign for American
reforms They were given credentials
by President Taft which secured aid
from the English courts. A portion of
the report, given The Calls correspond
ent, will be as follows:
we are a century behind England in
our criminal procedure, chiefly on ac-
count of our technicalities. England
has a more businesslike way of pro-
cedure. Although they have the out
ward appearance of form In the way
of wigs, sheriffs, etc, they really are
less formal than our own justice. The
most striking differences in the sys-
TENS are the quick manner in England
of selecting juries and the short time
between sentence and final judgment
on appeal.
"One difference we noted was the abb
sence of challenging juries. England
allows no cross examination of jurors
appar arently considering it no more nee
essary- to examine the jury than to eX-
anime the judges.

George Wants Peace With
Irish Before Coronation

which the reign was inaugurated. But,
of course, there was no response from
Ireland. The Irish members could
have seats in Westminster abbey at
the coronation; but they refused to
appear.
KING is ANXIOUS
All these things have sunk deep. it
is believed, in the mind of the present
king. He was very anxious some time
ago that some money should be voted
for a royal residence in ireland, so he
might not be charged, like his grand
mother, with never visiting the country.
But his best friends told him that
such visit would be inopportune un-
til the Irish people would be in a
more contented frame of mind. This
protest is at last bearing its fruit and
every body in court circles and even in
the conservative ranks. knows that Ire
land is discontented and will never join
in anything imperial or royal until she
obtains self government. The sight of
this little nation standing sullenly
aside from the whole empire is inn
pressing even the dullest imagination
and the hope that Ireland may be
reconciled and be prepared to become
quite friendly is one of the many things
that is making for home rule at this
moment. And the speedy coming of
the coronation tends to increase the
force of this factor.
Finally, a new element has been
brought in by the growing desire for
a closer union between the different
parts of the empire. Imperial fedora
tion is passing from dream and a
speculation into domain of practical
politics. And federation at home is at
last regarded as. the first and most
necessary point of departure for i'm
perial federation

turbine engines of 10 900 horsepower,
giving it an expected speed of 2S knots
The vessels superiority over it's prede-
cessor in the cruising battleship class

imum OF $4,000.

ROME. Aug 6.-According 10 Naples
messages, wine merchant named
Rea. who appears to be out of his
mind, has been keeping his wife and

prisoners with the utmost vigilance,
feeding them with small portions of
maize, potatoes. eggs and sometimes of
fowl.
He recently allowed the two eldest
sons 70 take short walks in the neigh
borhood of the house. Although under
close supervision, they manag ged to
make their plight known TO some
neighbors, who informed the police
with the result that the father was
arrested.
The release of the prisoners afforded
a very touching spectacle, the meeting
between the mother and her sons after
