To Wipe Out
Laws Delays

Columbus, Ohio. April 17.-(SpI1--
Judge Peck's judicial reform prepos-
II, which pass the Cen-gon, il aps
proved by the people, is expected to
do away with many Of the laws de-
lays" One trial before either judge
or jury, and one review by higher
court is the essence of the PROPOSE
ton. In brief, the proposal leaves
the present Supreme Court of said
Judges unchanged in number, changes
the present Circuit Court to the Court
of Appeals and gives itfinal jurIsdic-
ton in all cases save felonies and
those involving constitutional Ques7
tions. 1t, retains Common Pleas and
Probate Courts. Reference to Justices
of the Peace is stricken from the Con-
stitutiOn, and the Legislature Is given
power to establish inferior courts.
It is provided that all save one of
the judges of the Supreme Court shall
be necessary to hold statute macon
stitutional, except in affirming de
cision of the Court of Appeals declar-
ing a law invalid. In this instance,
only three Of the judges would be
necessary to knock out law. Upon
weight Of the evidence, the judges of
the Court Of Appeals, may reverse the
Common Pleas Court only by unani-
nous decision.
The labor delegate gave material
assistance to Judge Peck in securing
the proposals adoption.
Delegate Thomas offered an amend
Iment to abolish the right of the Su
preme court to declare laws unconsti
tutional. The amendment was defeat
Led by a vote of 81 to 26. The labor
DELEGATES all voted for the amend
menu. Delegate Thomas proposal to
abolish the state senate, and leave
hut one House, was tabled by vote
of IS to 80.
Delegate Johnsen's proposal to re
lduce from tWo-thirds to three-fifths
the number of votes to override the
governors veto was adopted By 9
large majority after a fight made by
the labor delegates to abolish the
veto power altogether; precipitated
an amendment offered by delegate
Thomas. The amendment was tabled
thv vnfa AZ 60 to 81.

THE STAR MINE SOLD

1t is reported that deal is about
to bc consumatcd with u Pliiladcl
phia syndicate whereby they will
bccome>the owners of the Star mine
on Italien Mountain. Expert ex
aminations have been made and the
property is said to more than verify
the reports given Us to the amount
of ore in sight and already mined.
John Larson who has charge of the
development of the mine for some
years, is engineering the deal and
deserves great credit for staying
.ith the proposition under so many
adverse circumstances, until he got
matters in shape so that deal
could be made. II is expected that
the mine will now l% worked in A
thorough systematic manner and a
large tonnage produced from the
property before the season is over,
there is said to be nearly forty
thousand dollars worth Of ore now
on the dump awaiting shipment
that will net handsome profits.
The new wagon road can be put i'll
good shape for ore hauling as soon
as the ground dries out a little
more. 1t is thought that the ital-
len mountain district will make
good this year and many other
mines in that section outside OF the
Star come to the front as ore ship
pcrs. Numerous other new enter
priscs are said to be on the tapis
and the old Enterprise property is
to be worked. This is gold silver
mine in the granite belt and has q
fine hydro-electric plant and mill
already installed az also n long tun'
mel driven, developing the mine tt
a great depth. .sss--7'---ss.

II. +. 'Snider and Geo. II. Sphr
Of Mt, Pleasant, Iowa, were here
last week for the purpose of obtain
ing information respecting a group
of six patented mining claims on
Sheep mountain in the vicinity OF
tho Black Queen mine. Finding
that it was impractical to visit the
claims at this time they made ar
rargcmunts to have q thorough ex-
animation made of the propc rty
and reports furnished and forward
cd to them after which, should the
reports be favorable, the parties
are expected here for the purpose
of arranging to dcNelopcthese mines
The mines at Crystal and Sheep
mountain have a decided advantage
over some other districts owing to
fact that they have broad gauge
railway within few miles OF them
and down hill pull from the mines
to reach railroad transportation.

In an editorial in the American
Magazine on the Titanic disaster,
f. p. Dunno says in part:
''Of all the criminal things pub
lislcd after the sinking Of the
Titanic, by far the wort was tn.
worst was the story of the riot OF
the stceuge passengers. We can't
get this abomination dut Of our
mind. As the truth has come out
we can see these poor things hudd-
led together hoping against all pos
sibility that they may be saved !;
then VIC can sec them trooping up
! in silent procession through the
mysterious passages of the great
ship-young Irish boys and girls
whispering their 'patcr-an-avcs' as
they walk, women hooded by their
shawls like the mother of the Saw
ior-somc carrying children i'll
their arms, others helping along
the old and infrm; meek Russian
peasants bent with toll; poor, tired
and hopeless creatures all. They
find their way to the upper decks
not without certain feeling OF
apology for venturing on this hith-
erto prohibited territory, but there
! is no need of this now. And no
need is there for the brave officers
to despatch them with bullets. No
bullet wounds were found ON the
bodies, reports the captain of the
cable ship. The officers are either
in the small boats padding to
safety or they are with the others
patiently awaiting the inevitable.
And these poor people are the
very same who in the, papers and
the gossip of the New York clubs
were reported to be raging, blood
thirsty m admcn! What writer
who penned such monstrous
falschood must not hang his head
in shame forever? How incredible
the coarse surmiss that man will
not meet death with dignity because
his hands are s.ainc1 with work?
Is there in the minds Of many of us
the disasterous belief that different
standards of personal honor in the
supreme tests Of life exist With the
rioa mt with the poor?'

The Denver Post reports a new
gold camp being opened up in the
Sad Juan Mining District, where a
big vein of gold bear ing quartz has
been opened in what is known as
Pardise Basin. The ore runs from
four to one hundred thousand dol
lars per ton and the vein is said to
be eight feet in width and many
prospectors arc rushing into the
district from all over the state. 1t

Special to The Times Dispatch.l
Martnsville, Va August le.-Noth-
ing positive is known here in regard
TO President Tafts reason for with
drawing the name Of DR. Charles p
Smith as postmaster here from tho

PRED in February 1910. and he hcid
over until June o. 1912. when mis- name
was sent TO the Senate for another
term Senator Swanson was known
TO be opposed 10 DR.. Smiths loniirma-
zion, and It is generally thought that
tho prosress!ves on the Senate Post
ONCE Committee were also opposed
to i. These facts may or may not
have caused the withdrawal OF the
