SIR FRED BANbURY CHAMPION SPOUTER Is Author of Home Rule
 Amendment TALKS ON ANYTHING Has Killed More Bills in Parliament by Talking Them to Death
 Than Any Other
 Member
TALKS ON ANYTHING

London, December 9.-(Speeial9-Thai eminent parliamentary "obstruetonist' = less polite folk say "windbag g'-sr Fred erick Banbury, is now basking In the limelight of publicity to greater eX- tent, perhaps than he ever has before in the course of long. exciting and in at least one respect remarkable political career.
 It was upon Sir Fredericks amendment to a financial clause of the Irish home rule bill that the liberal government met with it's recent defeat in the house of con- mons; defeat which is admitted to have damaged it's prestige and which led to some of the rowdiest scenes in the history of the mother of parliaments, in the course of which Winston Churchill was hit in the face with a book and the whole ministerial front bench was pelted with paper balls and similar missiles
 How Percy Illingworth, the chief gov ernment whip. came to allow snap division to be taken on Hanbury's amend ment remains an unexplained mystery. His obvious course would have been to fight the devil with fire" by putting up the most loquacious member of his party to talk about anything or nothing until enough liberal members had been sum- moned to the house to save the sltua- ton or at least minimize the defeat. That would have been mere poetic justice, for it is of this art of talking out bill, or delaying vote thereon that Sir Fred erick is an acknowledged master. As a long distance spouter he has no peer Tn parliament or even a serious rival.
 It was his boast when he last stood for election that he could talk "on any subject. at any time and at any length, and he has the reputation of having blocked the passage of more bills by talking them out" than any other liv- ing member of parliament
 The unfortunate part of it Is that most cs the measures that have been throttled

interrupted him wishes heartily that he had not done so. For in doing so he has given the Windbag of Parliament new peg and he hangs on 1t. It con sumes minutes-precious ones that bring him near the goal. "Pasturage, sir. he begins, and at that moment the clock points to five and the victory is his. The bill is talked out.
 Isn't it a glorious thing to be-a pro- fessional talk machine-an always ready-for, service gas-bag? The man who is this, and boasts of it. was known at Winchester college as "Buns"-the appropriateness of this nickname lying in the fact that the town of Ban bury is renowned for the cakes and other varieties of pastry obtainable there. Sir Frederick Is now 62, and has sat in the House of Commons since 1892. At present he is one of the two unionist members for the city of Lon don, A. J. Balfour. the ex-premier, be- ing the other and it is appropriate enough that he should be as he is one of the managers and trustees of the stock exchange, not to mention being chairman of the Colonial Securities Trust company and director in several leading banks and railways.
 Even those who detest his politics most heartily and In whom his prowess as a long distance tallSer fails to in- spire admiration, have one warm spot in their hearts for Sir Frederick For he is known as a lover of all animals. The cause of anti-vivisection has no warmer supporter than he and his af- lection for the dumb world once carried him to the length of framing a bill di- rected against a cruel way of killing birds He carried his measure, too; he that has killed so many!

ANSWER IS FILED ID GOVERNMENT SUIT

Philadelphia, December 9-The Motion Picture Patents company today filed an answer in the United States district court here to the suit brought by the govern ment to dissolve the alleged moving pie ture trust. The company, which is the holding company of all the various patents owned by the defendants denies that it committed the illegal acts alleged by the government, and declares that prior to the organization of the moving picture producers no lawful art or trade in moving pictures existed and that it could not agree or combine in restraint of trade. It is asserted that it created whatever lawful trade there is in motion pictures and that the organization of the defendants is necessary, mot solely for convenience and profit, but to the very lawful existence of the moving picture art.'

 In the next case that came before him lie asked every juror his religion and whether he had any prejudice against men Of other faiths, and he got verdict In accordance with the evidence.
 What required even more courage was his denunciation of a Roman Catholic priest in Fermanagh. who tried to induce witnesses to stay away from court. He threatened to commit the priest to jail and he was attacked as an intolerant Protestant Eventually the Roman Cath oic bishop of the diocese took up the cudgels on Judge Craig's behalf and compelled the priest to apologize to him.
 In addition to his legal work Judge Craig has devoted much time to unpaid public work in Ireland He is a commsr sioner of national education in Ireland and a governor of the Royal Hbernian Military school. In private life he is one of the most charming of men. and when he gave up his residence in Dublin last year on his appointment to the recorder ship of Belfast, he left gap in Dublin social life which it will be hard to fill.

Judge Craig declared in his summing up that It was evident that Barnard Campbell, the lawyer in question. didn't want the doc tors evidence to be heard. Campbell said nothing al the time. but a couple Of days later he rose in court and tried to re- open the case. declaring that the recorder had impugned his honor Judge Craig re- fused to hear him and on his perssting ordered him to be removed from the court. Campbell. still tried to talk and eventually he was dragged out by two policemen shouting at the top of his voice:
 You're liar. You're traitor, You're a coward" and inviting the judge to come outside and settle the quarrel like an Irishman."
 Judge Craig, who is now about 64 years old, was born in Strabane County Ty- rone. and educated wholly in Ireland. He had a brilliant career at the Raphoe Royal school and the old Queens college at Belfast. and he leaped to the front at once when he was called to the Irish bar in 1871. In 1883 he became crown prose- cutor for County Louth. and in 1892 senior crown prosecutor for County Monaghan He was corporation council in Belfast from 1892 to 1S97 when he became a coun- ty court judge and last year he was pro- noted 10 the important post of recorder of Belfast

Trouble With Lawyers

Throughout his whole judicial career Judge Craig has been at loggerheads with the lawyers because of his conception of his duties-a novel conception in Ireland at least He has acted on the theory that he is not. many judges seem to believe, merely the umpire whose duty is to see that the game is played according to the rules. His idea is that the duty of the judge is to see that the truth is brought ont and if the opposing lawyers don't bring it out to take a hand himself. Time after time he has taken the exam ination of witnesses out of counsels hands and brought out an entirely diff ferent story from that which the lawyers were trying to put before the jury. When he was at the bar he was noted as one Of the most skillful cross-examiners in Ireland and lie has lost none of his skill on the bench.
 In the days. now happily nearly past. when the religious complexion of q plaintiff or defendant had a lot to do with the decision of a jury in some dis tricts. Judge Craig earned fame for the war which he waged on this abuse. On one occasion. when he was sitting in his native county of Tyrone, a jury of Pres byterians acquitted a co-religlonist who vas accused of an aggravated assault on Roman Catholic.

Banbury Gets Up

At 1 o'clock the debate generally has exhausted itself and division--other
 wise a Vote--is imminent. That is Banbury's moment He is q tall. blonde man, with a flowing mustache and is one of the best dressers in the House of Commons. He rises and the hopes of the supporters of the bill sink to zero. Gloomily they watch the speaker, more gloomily the clock, for Banbury travels so slowly. the time piece so quickly. Though the House empties at his rising as if plague had stalked into It's midst. he talks on dauntless and unabashed. His name is the very synonym for dull prolixity; he can pour forth words by the hour without being betrayed into one fresh thought, one notable phrase, one ghost of an idea. Say that he is opposing a land Tenure bill that Is designed to do something for the tenant and to limit the power of a landlord. Banbury will discuss farming in all it's aspects as though eternity were before him; he discourses on soils. he enlarges on seeds; he con- siders the essentials Of husbandry; he gently admonishes bad husbandry. Meanwhile the hand of the clock moves slowly toward the hour. Sir Frederlek must be reaching the end of his tether. The enthusiasts for the bill shift nerv- ously in their seats But if they hope, they reckon without their Banbury. He pauses for a second or two and then stabs out some side thrust that is open to an obvious retort That retort bursts from some exultant enthusiast.
 "Exactly!" raps out Sir Frederick, who has got what he wanted. He is entitled to answer that retort, and he does so, picking up his immaculate silk hat and polishing it round and round with his hand while the man who has

IRISH JUDGE WILL
 STAND NO NONSENSE
Some Stories of Judge John
 Walker Craig
MUCH WRITTEN ABOUT
Believes He Is Not Merely an Umpire in the Legal Game But That His Duty Is to Get at
 the Truth

Dublin. December 9-(Speeial.) )-Who is tie best known Irishman in Ireland? No doubt nine people out of every ten would answer John Redmond. but if the fre- queney of mention in the newspapers is to be made the test the award would have to be given to his honor. Judge John Walker Craig, recorder of Belfast. There Is hardly day when his court is sitting that Judge Craig doesn't furnish copy, and he has been doing this since 1897. when he became county court judge of Monaghan and Fermanagh. Before that he was known to fame as one of the wit tiest and ablest lawyers at the Irish bar, so 1t is a safe statement that, by name at least, he is known to every Irish news paper reader.
 He has been getting even more than his share of publicity recently. few weeks ago he declared that he was quite able to try the Orange rioters at Harland & Wolns shipyard himself instead of send ing them to Derry. When the jury ac- quilted them after being plainly told by hIm to convict, Judge Craig told the jury in few forcible and well chosen words what he thought of them. Since then. al- though he is a strong unionist himself, he has not been extremely popular in Orange circles in Belfast.
 Ousted Lawyer
 This week again he has earned several columns of space in the newspapers by his effective method of dealing with a lawyer in his court. This lawyer was pressing claim against firm of employers under the workmen's compensation act and he
