 The solution is when the assistant enters the bag he pulls in about 15 inches of the rope and holds it, as shown in Fig. 8, while the committee is tying him up. As soon as he is in the cabinet he merely lets out the slack thus making enough room for his body to pass through.

PRES. TAFT On
THE RECALL
In new YORK SPEECH COMES OUT
SQUARELY AGAINST RECALL
OF JUDGES
HE MAKES COMPARISON

New York, May 15.-President Taft
came cut publicly Saturday night in
most pronounced fashion against the
recall Of the judiciary. In his speech
at the Hotel Astor before the confer
ence on reform of the criminal law
and procedure, the President made
his attitude plain. Most of his
speech had been devoted to a com
parison, highly unfavorable to his
country, CT the judicial system of
Great britain and the United States.
He lamented the tendency manifested
even in England, but more particu-
larly in this country, to put iimita-
tions on the power of the judge
And, now," he said, mot conten-
with reducing the position Of the
Judge to one something like that OF
the moderator in religious assembly
or the presiding officer of a political
convention, the judge is to be made
still less important and to be put
still more on trial and to assume
still more the character of a defend
ant by a provision of law, under
which, if his rulings and conduct i'll
court do not suit a small percentage
of the electors of his district, he may
be compelled to submit the question
Of his continuance On the bench dur
ing the term for which he was elect
ed to an election for recall, in which
the reason for his recall is to be in
Guided in two houndTed words, and
his defense there to be equally brief
HuiniIiating Statistics.
"The statistics which show the
crimes that go unpunished in this
country, as compared with those in
England said Mr.. Taft, ''are startling
and humiliating to any son of Am
erica who has pride in his fellow
countrymen as law-abiding and law
enforcing people.
Wherein is the great difference
then, between the effectiveness of the
two systems? I believe it to exist in
the character, experience and learn
ing of the judges, in the power which
they maintain and exercise in the
course of trial for the saving of time
and the simpliication of the issues.
