LESS SAFEGUARDS
FOR THE GRIMM AL
Judge kavanaugh Of Chicago Says
Murders Will Continue Unless
Courts Reform.

Chicago, Oct. Murder, suicide,
highway robbery and crime will con-
tinue to increase as long as the crimi-
nal is safeguarded by the many legal
technicalities criminal lawyer can
devise" said Judge Kavanaugh. of the
superior court, in an address at
Austin.
"Under the present system OF cross
examination the lawyers can tangle
up the members Of the jury so that
when the case ends and they retire
to deliberate most Of them are more
added than the witnesses.
"In England there are no such legal
quibles, no long delays to let wit
nesses wander away, and consequently
there is much less crime.
Last year there were 12S murders
here to each million of the population,
while in Canada, just across the line,
there were but seven to each million
population.

this to small extent. The business

nate and give just verdict, do not
wish to serve because of the financial
loss while to the day laborer to often

property, valued at 100000, being bid
In for $13,050. Later the Moslers asked

OTHERS WILL BE SEEN.
ATTORNEY GEN. w1cKERsHAM,

New York, Oct. 27.-The entire force
Of deputies under United States
Marshal Henkle was put at the dis
posal OF the government today to finish
the task of serving copies Of the bill
of equity in the federal suit to dis
solve the United States steel corpora
ton upon officers and directors Of the
alleged trust, residing here. ]. P.
Morgan and E. II. Gary received their
service last night. but thirteen others
remained to be served in this neigh
borhood.
According to statement given out
at the Office of the United States
Marshal at Trenton, where the suit
was filed yesterday afternoon, this
service of the petition will be followed
by subpoenaes requiring the deferd-
ants to answer the petition at Trsn-
ton on December A. It is expected that
both these services will be made with
in forty-eight hours.
Following the return date, Decem-
Der 4, when the defendants must put
in appearance by counsel, they have
until the first Monday in January to
put in their answers to the charges
set forth in the governments petition.
The government probably will make
a reply and then If the procedure Of
trust prosecution Is followed the court
will appoint an examiner to take testi-
mony. The examiner may sit IN any
city convenient to the governments

Corpo 'ation to Fight.
In the absence of any statement OF
the steel corporations intention, the
opinion In Wall street this morning
was that the corporation would fight
the governments suit. Preparations
evidently were made in anticipation OF
such litigation, such as yesterdays
decision to abandon the Great North
ern ore leases and the reduction or
ore freight rates, together with the
corporations announcement OF Its
position after the meeting OF the direc-
tors on September 26, was evidence OF
this.
Though litigation may run its course,
however, it is believed that, the case
will be speedily decided.
The reason is that the supreme
courts decision In the Standard Oil
case has laid down a precedent by
which the courts may interpret the
Sherman law in the present contro-
yersy.
