 Philadelphia

Philadelphia, February 1.-Serene and prepared to meet his God whom he had served so well, the Most Rev. Patrick John Ryan, D. D., IL. D., Archbishop of Philadelphia and metropolitan of Penn syivania, and one of the great archbish- ops on the American continent, passed peacefully into eternity at 4:0S o'clock this afternoon at the Arch Episcopal residence adjoining the cathedral in Logan square
 For weeks the distinguished prelate who would have been so years old had he lived until the goth of this month, fought off death. but weak heart enfeebled by the arduous duties of his high office, could not stand the strain and he passed away bl bleathing the benediction, God bless you" upon those who stood about the bedside.
 The venerable archbishop had been suf- foring since last fall, but his condition did not become alarming until two weeks ago. when his physicians publicly admit ted that he was slowly dying from a weak heart. Occasionally he showed signs of improvement, and this week his condition Was such as to rekindle hope that he might be about again. At dawn today however. the fatal change came and he slowly lost ground. At noon it was thought that he was about to breathe bis last, but he rallied only to again lapse into a sinking spell later. The four at tending physicians, who had been resort

Mir. Samuel Mckinley, 1915 Grand Ave. Kansas City. Mo-, writes: T can honestly say I owe my life to Peruna.
 "Traveling from town to town, hav- ing to go in all kinds of badly heated stores and buildings, sometimes stand ing up for hours at a time while ply ing my trade as an auctioneer, 1t Is only natural that I had colds frequently. Last December I contracted severe case, which through neglect on my part, settled on my lungs. When all most too late I began doctoring, but without avail, until I heard of Peruna. It cured me, so I cannot praise 1t too highly"

President Taft defended the proposed reciprocity agreemSpt with Canada in his sGdress as the logical conclusion of the protection plank in the last republican Lational platform.
 He defined the protection theory as one that should impose tariff not exceeding the defense of the cost in production in this country and abroad, allowing a fair margin of profit for the home producer. He argued, therefore. that inasmuch as the conditions of production in the United States and Canada were substantially the same. the widest latitude was given Sec rotary Knox and the commissioners who represented the United States in offering to Canada reduction of duties on goods and products coming into this country from Canada In consideration of the es- tablishment of the same duty or freedom from duty on similar goods going into Canada.
 The President explained it was thought wiser on behalf of both the governments not to make a formal treaty. but to make an agreement between the executives by which each exercising his constitutional power in his government should submit the agreement in a form of a statute to be enacted and to go into force on con- dition that a similar statute was passed by the legislature of the other country"

OPPOSE SHORT COURT TERMS
BAR ASSOCIATION WILL HAVE MEETING TOMORROW TO PRO- TEST AGAINST THE PROPOSED BILL SHORTENING TERMS

Members Of the Birmingham Bar as- sociation will hold meeting at the court house tomorrow morning at o'clock in Judge Crows division of the circuit court for the purpose of raising a protest against the passage of the resolution in- trodGced in the senate Friday by Senator Morrow whereby the terms in the city court of Birmingham and the circuit court of Jefferson county will be cut down, re- spectively, six and eight weeks. as it is estimated.
 The exact contents of the bill have not as yet been fully aired, but sufficient information in regard to the curtailment of the court terms reached the ears Of the Birmingham Bar association 10 start lively agitation of the subject.
 The clerks and assistants at the court. house discussed the proposition without reserve yesterday. All showed opposi- ton to the proposed passage of the bill, maintaining that for the first time in their knowledge the court has been able to itch up with the dockets. If the length of the present term were diminished. they declared, the courts would relapse into the old state of congestion in conse- quence of which cases would have to be continually carried over. whereas suits can now be set for hearing within 60 days after filed.
 A strong sentiment against change in the present forms was current in the ex pressions made yesterday by representa- tives of some of the best known law firms In the city, namely: Frank S. White & Sons, Gaston x Pettus, Allen & Bell. Bow man, Harsh & Beddow, Denson & Den son, McArthur X Howard and others.
 T see no reason why the present length of the terms should be curtailed," said Capt. Frank s. White, when as their doclxets until recently. The shorten ing of the terms would in all likelihood bring about an overcrowded docket, and it is unnecessary to say that such a con- dition causes great inconvenience and delay both to the parties bringing suits and to the courts. Furthermore when cases have to be continued there is al- ways great difficulty in securing the wit nesses and hence it arises that the parties who are plaintiff are practically forced into a compromise, usually resulting in a gain for the defendant. Under such con-. ditions a case cannot be heard with a fairness and exactness as when set for an early hearing
