New Judge Very Unsat.
isfactOry
President Taft's Appoint
ment to Supreme Court
Bench has bad Record

Washington, March A. Presi-
dent Taft has again demonstrate
ed his remarkable ability for ap-
pointing judges who are notori-
GUS for their decisions against
the people and in favor of the
vested interests.
Hardly had the president re-
turned from New York, where
he branded the advocates of d
judicial recall as 'neurotics,
when he named for the vacant
place on the supreme court bench
one of that very type of judges
who have created the demand
for the recall. AS result of this
appointment, MahIon Pitney, of
New Jersey, who has time and
again written judicial decisions
in favor of property rights and
against human rights, will sit in
the place once occupied by John
M. Harlan, the best friend the
common people ever had in the
supreme court.
Judge Pitney has an interest
ing career, and he also had an
interesting father. His father
was judge before him, and as
(. an indication of the kind of Judge
he was, it will be recalled that
in one case, where little girl
was crushed while playing about
some building material that had
been unlawfully left in the street
he ruled that the girls legal sta
tus was exactly the same as a
thief's would have been, had he
been injured in a similar manner.
The little girl of course, was un-
able to obtain damages.
Mahlon Pitney was once con-
gresham, but he resigned that
office in order to accept a state
senatorship-an obscure office by
comparison with the one he re-
linquished. The reason for this
remarkable change was soon ap-
parent however, for it quickly
became known that Pitney was
the spokesman in the New Jer-
sey senate, of the identical inter
ests that were represented until
recently, by John Kean in the
senate at Washington.
After his term in the state SEN
ate, Pitney was chosen chancell-
or OF New Jersey, and in that po-
sition he won fame as an enemy
OF labor unions In the case of
the George Jonas Glass company,
which obtained an injunction
against it's striking employees
from picketing, Pitney wrote a
decision in which he held that 1t
was unlawful for the union men
to restrain, either by coercion
or by persuasion those who de-
sired to continue in the employ
ment of the glass company. +"
This decision was based on the
assumption by Pitney that the
relation between the company
and the union men was what he
called service at will"
Judge Minturn, of the same
bench, wrote a dissenting opinion
in this case in which he branded
the Pitney decision "a blow at
every mans constitutional right
of free speech. !"
Judge Pitney held that the un-
ion men could not use persuasion
in their efforts to get others to
join them. 1t was unlawful, he
said, for one man quietly to talk
to another on the street, if the
subject Of their conversation was
about the strike. This, he held,
would be annoyance" to the
complaining corporation.
Every Judge that President
Taft has named for the supreme
court is known to be an enemy
OF the unions with the possible
exception of Hughes, and he is a
sworn enemy of the income tax.

LONDON, July ?6,-King George opened
the new birmingham dock on the Hum

tween the two other great ports on the
Humber. Grimsby and Hull. 1t Is close
to the extensive coal measures Of LIN
colnshire and South Yorkshire. and Its
railway connections bring It into touch
with collieries that account for more
than one-third Of the coal output Of the

Queer Materials Used In Making Ar

LONDON. July 24.-The makers Of flies
for fishermen are constantly devising
new and ingenious forms. All manner
Of queer materials enter into the manu-
facture Of these files. such as bears
eyebrows and mouse whiskers.
The business done In mouse whiskers
Is very considerable. for these are an
important factor IN the making Of ny

very much better. 1t Is claimed. at mouse
whisker flies than at the same gnat

they look very much alike.
Bears eyebrows. for the reason that
they are stir and have exactly the
right line. are employed In the making
of a ny that Is extensively used In
salmon fishing. These eyebrows are
taken from the Himalayan brown bear
and are expensive.

LONDON TRAM FARES DOWN.
Eject OF the Competition of the
Motor ON nlbusea.

I.oHpoS. July 2e-The fight between
the London County Council with its
trans and the motor omnibus companies
for the street. traffic Of London has be-
gun in earnest. The public stands to
gain by cheaper fares and already may
make one journey Of fourteen miles for
ten cents.
Since April I last the receipts on the
councils tramcars have been falling.
The highways committee have deter
mined to make every effort to recapture
the lost traffic. Long distance fares are
being reduced and return fares are be-
ing given on the southern lines. which
are cheap per than those charged by the
motor buses.
A start was made with an eight cent
fare between New Cnoss Gate and Vic
toria. a matter Of some nine miles there
and back. and a six cent return fare
between Rye lane and Waterloo Bridge.
From Aldgate Church to Ilford Broad
way. q distance Of mores than seven
miles. costs six cents By bus for the sim
gle Journey. The London County Coun-
Gil Is Offering n ten cent return fare
The council has now q proposal before
1t for equipping about Ave miles OF
streets in northeast and southeast Lon
don with the trackiess trolley system.
The most important Is the proposed
route from Mare street. Hackney. to the
West India docks. Laid as a condui,
| tramway II would cost over $4,000 and
as an overhead over 10000. For the
railless system II will cost only f6,270. g
saving Of something like 100000 on {

ipos. even had 1t proved success, would
hardly bulk so large as at firN was antici-
pated. But the hopes and aspirations
which arose for Turkey in 1908 have been
elmos, lost in the disenchantments of the
new regime.
The old or Hamidian regime was un-
bea-ably oppressive upon the Turks them
selves. For their own salvation change
in government was imperative. Turkish
eyiies. chiefly in Paris. had been working
for years toward the overthrow Of Abdul
Hanud. They had enlisted the coopera-
tion Of other Ottoman elements. but
their main reliance was distinctly Turkish
and Moslem. The Jews and Dunmehs. or
Jews turned Moslems. of Salonica. who
aided with their money. their brains and
the secrecy OF their Masonic lodges. were
the only notable exception to the narrow
limits OF the movement. and the Salonica
Jews. ever since they were given asylum
by the Turks upon their expulsion from
Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella have
Oas,ly passed as Turks.
The moment chosen for wrestling tho
constitution from Abdul Hamid. tho arch
t,iiner Of Turkey, was that when Russia
and Austria at ths now famous Rsva
