during the day, and once, in meet

point where VIM. Finn of Pittsburg,
who was presiding, refused to let 1t
go further.
Compromise Talk
The second possibility, and this
seemed to hold the center of the stage
tonight, was that of compromise on

BEAT

JEWE[ER

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.--Ter-
rorized by the boldness of hold
up men and the apparent help
lessness of the police, New York
merchants and other business men
are preparing for personal protec-
ton.
Three daring robberies have
been perpetrated here in the last
week by motor bandits, who es-
capped with loot exceeding $780,
600. The third holdup of the
week came last night when three
men jumped from taxicab and
after slugging George III. Horth,
a diamond merchant, with a black
jack, ripped open a wallet contain
ing $4,000 worth of unset dia-
monds and escaped.
The robbery occurred at the
corner of Broadway and 35th sts.,
one of the busiest spots in the
city. Streets in the vicinity were
with pedestrians, while
a postman was standing only
twenty feet away.

those for judicial referendum
were called ''insensate" in a
speech endorsed by President
Taft which Attorney General
George Wickersham delivered be-
fore the City club here this after
noon In the direct interest of
Tafts' denomination. Wicker
sham sarcastically referred to the
initiative and referendum as post
al card "lawmakirg," and de-
claring that popular legislation
and direct primaries destroyed
the dignity of office, resulting in
driving from the field that class
of men formerly thought most de-
sirable-those whom the offic1
seeks, not those seeking office. \
Wickersham said in part.
UNLESS we continue to have
judges whose tenure of office does
not hang upon their momentary
popularity with the crowds, who
are not to be deferred from per
forming their duty by any amount
of clamor, these questions may
not be decided in accordance with
the constitution.
| am in entire sympathy with
that sentiment that led to enact
ment of election of candidates by
direct ballot, but systems which
are made by postal card and pop
ular petition tend to destroy the
dignity Of office so as to make it
unattractive, even to those who
might otherwise subject them
selves to the scramble of pri-
mary in order to reach field of
