massed bands played a dead march while

In Speech AT new YORK HE
STRONGLY OPPOSES RECALL
OF COURT JUDGES.
Says He Sees Faults of Government and
Admits in Trying to Eradicate Them
Reformers Might Do 1t, but to Inter
fere With the Courts Would Be De-
struction-Must Get Together.

New York.-On the eve of his three
days visit to Ohio, his home state,
President Taft spoke here to the Ohio
Society of New York, delivering proba-
bly, the most imprisoned speech he has
made in many months, directed against
the nostrums of reform" and particu-
larly aimed at the recall of judges.
In the efforts which the president
said have been made to reform legisla-
ton in this country he saw much that
was good. He saw the faults of gov
eminent in the United States today and
admitted that in trying to eradicate
them much might be accomplished by
reformers. But in the effort to make
the judiciary responsive to "every
whim" of the people he saw destruction.
He declared that the conservative ele-
ment of the nation eventually must
get together to prevent movement
that would make the courts the crea-
lures of popular will and might make
the decision in every case but accord
with what u majority of the people
thought the law should be-
Ihey are having a constitutional
convention in Ohio" said the presi-
dent "and am told one of the propo-
sitions is to propose the judicial recall.
Orators and statesmen are going up and
down the country denouncing the
courts; pointing out their corrupt ma
ture. The time is coming, in my iugd-
ment, when the conservative people OF
this country who are in favor of the
eternal principles of justice and their
administration so as to make them pre-
vail should rise to meet these misguided
supporters of an utterly indefensible
theory and end the agitation against
the courts''

CHINESE THRONE STILL, THERE
But No Telling How .DLong 1t Will
Remain

Peking.=Premier Yuan Shi Kai took
with him to the palace a telegraphic
memorial from the generals of the i'm
perial army demanding republican
form of government. The memorial
accused the younger princes of the i'm
perial clan of stultifying the best in
terests of the country and preventing
the Manchus from providing funds, thus
destroying the morale of the army. 1t
suggests also that Yuan Shi Kai be ap-
pointed high commissioner pending the
formation of the new government.
The empress dowager and the imperial
prince were impressed deeply by the
memorial and in. consequence the ques-
ton of speedy abdication of the
throne again is in the forefront.
