JUDGE AND MRS. THAYER

States court at Shanghai. China. accom-
panied by Mrs. Thayer. has returned to
this country for visit Judge and Mrs.
Thayer landed In San Francisco last week
and will come to Washington, their old
home, at an early date Judge Thayer
formerly practiced law in Washington
and was at one time judge advocate gen.
eral of the District OF Columbia militia
Their return to the United States at this
time Is said to be due to Ill health of
Mrs. Thayer. but dispatches received here
today from San Francisco say that her
health is already improved.
The friends of Judge and Mrs. Thayer
in Washington are planning to give
them a warm welcome.
Judge Thayer went to Shanghai two
years ago at time of difficulty and
dissension In the American community
at Shanghai. Judge Thayer has shown
himself an able judge and an indie
fatigable worker, according to the
Shanghai press. and has done much to
bring about harmony. Under Judge
Thayer's guidance rules of procedure
for the court have been evolved which
have gone far to remove disabilities
under existing law. The question of
jury trial. which threatened at one
time to disrupt the American COM
munity in Shanghai. has been forgot
ten, 1t is said, and 1t has been con-
sidered safe to leave this and all other
court matters in Judge Thayer's hands.
