pus proceeding brought by Mrs.
Frances Ruston against the society to

1T would take a mass of testimony
to cause me to take the children from
their mother, but she now has not
strength with which to work to sup
port them" said the Judge. II will ad-
journ this case until Sept 23. and II
she then convinces me that she is
capable Of supporting them, will
grant her the custody Of the children.
Before that time. however, the so
ciety must grant her the right to see
the children, although she must not
In any way interfere with them"

"JUDGE-MADE LAW" ROOSEVELT
SAYS OF COURTS DECISION
Severely Criticizes New York Court OF
Appeals For Declaring Workmen's
Compensation Act illegal.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE recent
decision OF the court OF appeals oi
New York state In declaring uncon
stitutional the workmen's compensa
ton law, Is severely criticised by Col
Theodore Roosevelt In the current is
sue of the Outlook. He characterizes
1t as an example Of '.judge-made" law
and says such decisions can only have
the result of forcing on the people
the recall of the judiciary. which, he
says, he favors only when properly
safe guarded" In an exhaustive re-
view OF the decision, the colonel cites
the fact that there Is no way of carry.
ing it before the supreme court Of the
United States. which he intimates,
body, and adds:
But decisions such as this OF the
court of appeals, involving such far
reaching injustice and wrong-(and
implying in our government such con-
temptible futllity from the standpoint
OF remedying wrong and injustice)-
unchecked, and uncorrected, will go a
long way toward convincing people
that, at whatever cost, the entire sys-
tenn must be changed. The so-caiied
conservatives, who work for and a.
plaud such decisions, and depreca.e q
criticism Of them, are doing all In
their power to make II necessary for
the nation as whole In these mat
ters to go to a far more radical ex-
treme than the most radical state has
az yet even proposed to CO."
Roosevelt quotes at great length
from an opinion received by him by
"one of the most eminent jurists In
the United States" which. he says, ex-
actly reflects his views and In which
the tendency Of the courts to prefer
property above the individual, is de-
plored and which says the law should
have been upheld "as proper exer-
else of police powers" This opinion
winds up as follows:
EITHER American courts will make
a different use of constitutions, or
constitutions will become so odious
that they will be thrown out OF the
back window. That will be a serious
misfortune to the United States. We
need the steadying power OF written
constitutions. But we will not sub
NIT to being perpetually frustrated in
the accomplishment. OF those indus
trial and social reforms which e9ry
other free people in the world is free
to accomplish"

White SLAVERY

of some large city, but in the day

A Norwegian girl of about IS years
unable to speak English and with a
ticket from her native land to Web

some man she met on the train per-

The alfalfa should be sown between
the goth of May and the first of June
at the rate of 10 to Is pounds per
acre. The best way to seed anal1a
is with a grass seed attachment on
the ordinary grain drill. The grass
seed attachment should have spouts

alfalfa about 100 pounds of alfalfa

Go UNCHECKED

MEXICO CITY, May 24.-Notwith-
standing the signing Of the peace
pact the capital is more nearly iso'
lated tonight than it has been since
the Inauguration of hostilites. 1gno-
rant, apparently, that their command
er.in.chief has brought the war to
close, one band Of rebels, under the
leadership Of Candida Navarro, last
night cut the National railway at a
point near San Felipe, south of San
Luis Potosi, and another band
stopped all traffic over the Mexican
railroad by ripping out rails and
burning bridges near Huamantla.
The only line being operated out
of the city last night is the Inter-
Oceanic, a narrow guage extending
to Vera Cruz. Land wires which. con-
meet the capital with cable at Vera
Cruz have also been cut again
At the foreign office and in other
government CIRCLES almost every one
expresses optimism, believing a
peaceful solution of all difficulties Is
at hand. Unofficially this optimism
is not so apparent. Within the last
seven days the federal garrison has
not been greatly strengthened and
the capture Of the capital would not
be difficult.

Unless there IL hitch in the plans
General Diaz will present his resig-
nation to the chamber Of deputies TO-
day. He IL expected to 90 to the
chamber personally. Accompanying
him will be the famous presidential
guards and his visit to the. assembly

monies ordisarily observed.
