He made no reference to Roosevelt, or the Columbus speech.

But the defects in the judiciary are not in the cor ruption of the judges, but in the pro cecdure and in the helplessness oi the judiciary in jury cases. Now to propose a recall of judges fo' fancicd or real judicial wrongs, or a fault of the law itself is not faiI or right.

 As in Villages

NEW YORK, March 7.--The fear of t,rg bitten by a mad dog is deeply rooted in almost every human being and ihe cry of "Mad Dog" is as rotpnt to cause a panic on the streets ,s The cry of "TIre' is in a theater The fact that in ninety. nine out of hundred cases the "mad dog" is not mad at all, but simply scared, does no, essen the general fear in such cases Last Sunday a little yellow dog stood in front of the First Pres. byteriap church of Mount Vernon, jus, as the congregation started to leave the church after the morning service. After the fashion of young dogs who do not belong to anybody in particular this little pup attached himself to one of the members of the congregation, young woman, and followed in her footsteps. When the girl accidentally came in contact with the dog, she became scared and screamed. Some men near her. be-. ieying that the dog had bitten her, sought to drive the animal away by striking at it with their canes The dog who was hit several times, howled with pain and becoming frantic with fear, rushed among the church folk, who scattered in every direction, yelling "Mad Dog.'
 The excitement grew rapidly and attracted several policemen. Pressing an automobile into service they pur- sued the yellow dog racing down the street for dear life. One of the policemen fired several shots at the dog and one of them disabled the poor animals left front leg. The dog fell and seemed stunned for a few moments, but before the policeman could reach him, the dog jumped up and on his three good legs made his escape.
