Next week the Florida Bar Asso-
citation meets in annual session in Pen
sacola, and thoughtful lawyers pres
law Is progressive science and that
their cherished traditions and prece-
dents must sometimes be sacrificed to
meet the requirements Of new condi-
tons, 1t will be glad to know that one
of the most eminent Of American law
yers, Hon. Elihu Root, now United
States seantor from New York. is, fully
committed to the policy Of law reform.
At a recent meeting Of the New York
State Bar Association Mr.. Root de1iv-
cred a notable address, from which we
take the following:
THE fewer statutory rules there are
to create statutory rights intervening
between citizens demand for relief
and the courts judgment upon his de-
mand, the better. It would be difficult
to dispose Of Mtiagtion more compli-
Gated than the great controversies be-
tween nations, which the civilized
world is more and more tending to
submit to the judgment Of arbitral
tribunals and yet the permanent court
Of arbitration a: The Hague has prac-
tically no rules Of procedure.
THE mass Of judicial reports has
grown 50 great that It begins to seem
as IL before long we shall have to burn
our books like the Romans and begin
anew"
But that part Of Mr.. Roots address
which bears more directly upon de-
fects In our judicial system exerting a
most baueful effect upon the admins
tration Of Justice and the law-abiding
spirit Of the people, Is in his full and
warm endorsement Of the rule recon-
nended by the American bar Asso-
citation and urged upon our legislature
by Governor Gilchr1st, as follows:
mo error of ruling upon the admis-
sion or rejection of evidence or other
wise in a trial, shall be ground for re-
versal unless 1t aflrmatively appears
that different ruling would have led
to a different Judgment

UNKNOWN WOMAN
 JUMPS INTO LAKE
Refuses to Give Name to Those Who Rescued Her-Was Appar-
 ently French

An unknown young woman, apparently French. attempted to commit suicide by drowning in the lake at East Lake park yesterday afternoon at about o'clock. The identity of the young woman Is un- known, for when she was rescued and had regained consciousness, she refused to tell her name, why she attempted to kill herself or where she lived
 Before jumping into the lake the young woman had removed part of her outside clothing As she jumped, however, she was observed by the engineer of the min- iature railway, Jim Wilson, who. after hastily removing his shoes, jumped into the lake to rescue her.
 As he swan near her she fought to keep him off, but finally he grasped her and carried her ashore. The rescue had drawn a large crowd and when she was brought ashore a large gathering watched the methods by which she was revived.
 Upon regaining consciousness she was asked her name and where she lived, but she refused to say. Those in the crowd offered to take her to a hospital, but she said she was all right and would not go. After putting on the clothes which she had taken off she left the park ana boarded a car and further trace of her was lost.

Letters to the Editor
On Killing Hogs
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Having noticed the article in your inter- esting paper regarding the public saugh- tering of hogs for a church benefit, under the auspices of the Willing Workers" and Baptist Brethren" of Greenville, Ala, the proceeds to be used toward the entertainment of the "State Baptist con- vention" when refreshments and other amusements will be furnished, Judge A. E. Gamble, judge of the Second judicial circuit, said to be engaged to kill 50 hogs for financial benefit and amusement Of Christian workers, seems quite unbeliev- able that such a barbarous entertainment could be offered the public. The so-called willing Workers" seem to be overstep- ping all bounds of decency and Christian ity and such a spectacle as killing" for men, women and innocent children to ind amusement in seems quite impossible. The greased pig is bad enough and can only appeal to nondescrpt people and should not be tolerated in any communi- ty We blame the negro for the past sport of shooting chickens heads off for fun. which Is not allowed now in Bir- mingham, but public hog killing for amusement by Christian people, whether they belong to one denomination or an- other Is next to barbarism and dis grace to the church and state.N
 The white people should set higher and better example for the black race than finding pleasure in the frightened soueals of hogs being driven out to be killed. We blame the Mexicans for their bull fights, which the humane societies are very near abolishing. Is this hog killing more elevating or refining? What impressions it must make upon a child! cannot imagine a woman witnessing such spectacle voluntarily. It must have a brutalizing effect upon any one. A protest to the minister, mayor, and judge against permitting such a dis graceful killing has been sent to Green vile by the president of the Birmingham Humane society, which is hoped will have its proper effect.
 If animals must be killed they must be killed at a proper time and place and not for amusement The Mercy Sunday observed in Alabama June IS in many nIaces of worship will surely reach the heart of all good people. and make every one less thoughtless and cruel to the help ,ess children and the dumb animals that should have our protection.

VETERINARIANS
 CONVENTION ENDS

The delegates of the Alabama veteri- narians association reconveued yesterday morning at o'clock at the veterinary hos pital of Dr. Frnech, Third avenue and Fifteenth street, where a polyclinic was held
 The day was spent in showing many operations, which were performed on horses, cows, dogs and other animals Many of the delegates performed opera tions and explained how each operation was done and how the case was treated after the operation.
 Not only was the treatment of diseases shown, but the handling of the animals was shown by experts in this line. The meeting seemed more like vaudeville show when one of the doctors showed how to throw a horse to the ground. fol l instead of the horse falling to the ground the performer fell in It's stead.
 About o'clock the meeting adjourned until the next meeting. to bo held next year. either at Columbus. Ga, or Au- burn. The association has held many meetings, but the general opinion is that this was by far the most profitable and successful of all previous conventions.

HECH|NGER GOES ID GET 200 SETTLERS Chamber Farm Movement Man to Make Trip to

He will be absent for a period of three or four weeks and will attend the saengerfest in Mill waukee.
 As was stated by MT. Hechinger last night, he will see personally more than 200 prospective settlers with whom he has been in communication by previous cor respondence. The requirements of each individual who constitutes this number are known ito Mir. Hechnger, who thinks that he will in all likelihood be able to place all of these settlers. Through lnOSe Wltn whom ne mas alreduy been III touch he states that he will be brought into contact with many other immigrants who desire to locate in the south. conse- quently he anticipates securing in addition to the origir al 200 settlers for whom he has set out other groups of 20 and 30 per sons. embracing four and five families.

He states that it is his inten- tion not only to see those with whom he has already been in communication but to solicit personally those prospective set tiers who wish to locate In the south and more particularly in the Birmingham district. On his trip MT. Hechinger will take a large amount of literature embrac- ing all the pamphlets and other publica- tions that have been issued through the Chamber of Commerce by way of adver Using the district Such printed infor- nation he will distribute personally throughout the north. and he thinks this is a much more effective way of adver- tising than through the columns of dis interested publications.

DISCUSSES TICKS l IN SUMTER COUNTY Nixon Thinks Work Is Very
 Important RESULTS ARE EVIDENT Last June There Were But Four Dipping Yats in the County and
 Now There Are Eigh-
 ty-four

Dr. R. B. Nixon of Sumter county, one ans convention in Birmingham Friday and Saturday, yesterday stressed the in1- portance of keeping up the tick eradica- tion work in Sumter county. Discussing the controversy which has recently at tracted such wide attention, Dr. Nixon said:
 to the effect that tick eradication in Ala bama is a failure has stirred the cattle raisers of our state as nothing else has done recently. The report covered the entire state. I am unable to say anything about the work in other counties, except from observation. I will say the work is acquainted with the work done in my home county, Sumter, as I was for a part of two years engaged in the work in that county.
 "The work was begun three years ago. At first it was 8 campaign of education. Since then the work has been pushed viz orously. Only those who were in favor of the work were begun with, while other cattle farmers were seen and encouraged to eradicate the ticks on their cattle and farms. We first tried the Beaumont oil emulsion, kerosene oil emulsion, and straight oil. The emulsions were imprac- tical owing to the fact that free stone water was necessary to make the mix ture and such could not be obtained in the lime sections. The straight oil appli- cation was too injurious to the cattle.
 Last year the quarantine was vigor- ously enforced and the greasng prepara- tions used found unsatisfactory. Then the arsenical solution was put in use; it has proven entirely satisfactory in both cost and killing ticks and in being harm less to the cattle. It is now in use, being applied either by hand or in the dipping vats. Last June, when the arsenical dip was put in use there were only four vats in the county Now there are about S5 This shows the advancement of the work and how much the people are in favor of the work. Thousands and thousands of cattle are now free of the tick. During my first year in the work I was able to find less than half a dozen head entirely free of ticks Messrs. r. l. Derby Nixon & Little. Davis & Nichols w. K. Pickens and many other extensive cattle raisers have entirely rid their farms of ticks. If others had only seen the advantage and began to eradicate as early and kept at it earnestly as those named above the entire county would now have been free of ticks.
 But I am glad to say that now the whole people are seeing the advantages of tick eradication and are working more earnestly and are getting results
 We do not want to see the work dis continued in Alabama. The cattle grow CTS cannot afford the financial loss that would surely fall upon them, nor can the agriculturist afford it. More cattle and better cattle mean more fertility for the soil and hence better crops"
