And Painfully Injured on
Her Head Wednesday
Night.
BRUTE WAS BAFFLED
In His Criminal Intentions,
and Made Good His
Escape.
BRUTE WAS BAFFLED

Miss Bernice Hale, young tele-
phone operator about 10 years OF
age, was the victim of an attempted
assault about ten o'clock "Wednesday
night, upon her return from her
work at the Cumberland Telephone
office. The young lady j; a daugh-
ter of James A. Hale, of Carl, and
rooms at a house on Elm street. in
the rear of the Yancey Hotel and
takes her meals at Mrs. Payne's. She
and her room mate, Miss Tura Rose,
returned from the telephone Office
about nine o'clock and after eating
supper Miss Rose retired. Shortly
after ten o'clock Miss Hale went to
an clubhouse, about ten steps from
the back door, and as she was about
to enter the door she was seized by a
man from the inside and a.strsggle
ensued, in which she was pushed
violently against tree and her head
bruised. She says the man cursed
her and said, "You are a fighting
little devil" She finally in the
struggle reached the door of the
house, losing one slipper and one
stocking. which was loosely over her
foot, in the struggle. She was found
few minutes later lying in faint
OH the floor Of the rear room Of the
house.
The police were notified and
also Dr. J. H. Rice, who found the
young lady in very nervous state
about IL o'clock. An examination
showed that she had sustained no
injuries except the blow on the head
and the nervous shock. She was
able to give only a meager descrip-
ton of her a0sailant, who was large
man, without an overcoat and wear,
ing soft hat. Bloodhounds were
taken to the scene and the trail led
to an alley in the rear, but could not
be followed further. No clue has
been found to the guilty party.
An hour or two before the attack
another young lady, Miss Timmons.
was met on the street west of the
Seventh street bridge, in the same
vicinity. by two white men, one of
whom grabbed her by the hand as
they met.
These men stopped at a nearby
livery stable, but the man in charge
did not know them and after inquir.
ing il they could hire team and be-
ing told that none was for hire,
they passed on.

ARBITRATION PACT
ALMOST COMPLETE
Senate May Have Chance to Act On 1t
at This Session Of Con-
pregs

Washington, May l5.--The first draft
of the purposed arbitration treaty be-
tween America and Great Britain is
practically complete. The state depart
ment officials after many weeks OF work
have succeeded in crystalizing the main
ideas OF the projectors of the pact and
after the elimination of many unnec-
essary suggestions, the treaty has been
brought to concrete form
The principal difficulty encountered
was in the consideration of matters ex-
cepted in the scheme OF general arbitra-
ton, but it was found that the de-
sired object could be attained salts
factorily by the exchange OF notes be-
tween the two governments, explanatory
of the plan and scope Of the treaty,
leaving the convention itself very sim
pie in outline. This was regarded as
desirable in view OF the fact that the
treaty may serve as a model for sim
liar conventions with other powers.
Ambassador Bryce viii transmit a
drat Of the treaty to the foreign Of
flee in London for consideration If the
privy council acts promptly, the
Senate may have an opportunity to APP
prove the treaty during the present SEES
sion o Congress.

Law of Power in the Judges
Chief Cause
SAYS PRESIDENT TAFT
Contrasts Conditions Here With Those
In England--Asks How Judges
Hands May Be Strengthened
If Subject to Recall.

New York, May l5.--President Taft
came out publicly Saturday night in
most pronounced fashion against the re-
call OF the judiciary. In his speech at
the hotel Aston, before the conference
on reform OF the criminal law and pro-
cedure, he made his attitude very plain.
Most OF his speech had been devoted
TO a comparison, highly unfavorable to
this country, OF the judicial systems of
Great Britain and the United States
He lamented the tendency manifested
even in England, but more particularly
in this country, to put limitations on
the power of judges
And now he said, mot content with
reducing the position of the Judge to one
something like that of the moderator in
religious assembly or the presiding of,
fieer of a political convention, the Judge
is to be made still less important and
TO be put still more on trial and to as
sumo still more the character of a de-
PENDANT by provision of law, under
which, ii his rulings and conduct in court
do not suit a small percentage Of the
electors of his district, he may be com
PEELED to submit the question OF his con-
tinuance on the bench during the term
for which he was elected, to an election
for recall. in which the reason for his
recall is TO be included in 200 words,
and his defense is to be equally brief.
ut can hardly be said, my friends,
that this proposed change. ii adopted,
will give him greater authority or pow
er for usefulness or constitute re-
form in the enforcement OF the Grim.
inal law OF this country II will GER
tainly not diminish the power or irre-
sponsibility Of counsel for the defendant.
Let us hope that the strong sense OF
humor of the American people, which
has so often saved them from the dan
gers Of demagogery, will not be lacking
in respect fthis 'Nostrum
