M'FARLAND WHIPS THE
ENGLISH CHAMPION

New York, April 27.-Ten
thousand fight fans acclaimed
Packey Mcfarland of Chicago, in
Madison Square Garden last
night, when he won a decisive
victory over Matt Wells, the
English champion, in ten rounds.
At no stage of the battle was
the Engishman serious con-
tender. Outgeneraled and out
punched, he gamely stalled off a
knockout in the fourth round,
when the Stock Yards Pride had
him in distress, but this was the
only point on which his admirers
could enthuse.
Wells stacked up like a novice
beside the dazzling speed and
.cleverneSs of Mcfarland. His
hardest punches failed to shake
the Chieagoan. On the other

Several reforms for facilitating
court procedure were agreed
upon by the delegates, and it was
urged that antiquated rules
should not be invoked to prevent
the admission of evidence. Many
out-of-town speakers declared
that Illinois was far behind every
state in the union so far as its
legal procedure is concerned.

FIGHT FOR AND AGAINST
RECALL OF JUDGES

Judge Wanarnaker Has Written
a Series of Articles for
The Day Book.
Recall of judges has split the
delegates of the Illinois State Bar
Association; in session at the La
Sale hotel, into two distinct fac
tions, and leading jurists have
taken vigorous stands. on each
side of the question.
Judge R. M. Wanamaker Of
Akron, O., supported the recall
in a hot speech, declaring that I'M
less the people. were given the
right to recall judges respect for
the courts would be undermined.
There is too much regard for
the rich, and too little for the
poor" declared Judge Wanamak-
er. There is too much tsurpa-
ton of legislative power by the
courts, too much delay, too much
expense to the litigants and too
much uncertainty.
The legislatures have entirely
failed to use their power of recall
by impeaching any judges. So
isn't it time for the common peo=
pie who are most vitality interest
ed, to take some action?
What we want to do is simply
to change the jury The legis-
lators have failed. Let us go to
the common people"
James H. Wilkerson, district
attorney for Chicago, advanced
the old argument of those against
the recall, that the people didn't
know what they wanted, and
were incapable of governing
