TAFT HITS COURTS
Former President Says They
Are Disgrace to Civilization.
Failure to Administer Criminal
Law With Certainty.

New Haven. Conn. April 21.-Char-
acterizing existing conditions in the
courts of America as a disgrace to
civilization and declaring that remedial
legislation is necessary Immediately,
former President Taft addressed the
Yale law school students and faculty
at their annual banquet. He said:
81 have had the feeling that some
day the Socialists might direct their
attacks on the unequal and unjust ad-
ministration of the law The failure
to administer criminal law with GER
tainty, the failure to apply the law,
aids those criminals who so often es-
cape punishment for crimes OF Wh1ch
they deserve Imprisonment.
''T'he existing condition of things
in this regard is a disgrace to the CIV
ilization of this country and should be
remedied. There are none better to
accomplish these reforms than the
members of the bar. In the civil
courts there are many and frequent
delays in the application of the law
by which the wealthy litigants gain an
advantage. This cannot be said to be
an equal administration of justice.
This is not because the judges are un-
fair or because they do not know the
law. 1t is simply because we have
gone on without the remedial spirit.
Every effort should be made to remove
the defects that now exist. Som mething
should be done to reduce the cost of
litigation. The courtroom is no place
to gamble with the law. We must keep
law and justice together in order to
justify law"

Slot Heads" of Japan Caused
FeveriSh Excitement.
Newspapers Now Have Settled
Down to Dignity.
NATION AWAITS OUTCOME
California Land Bill Watched
With Interest.
Angry Militant Talk Has Been
flushed Forever.

Toxic, April 21.-The chagrin, dis
appointment and wounded pride of
Japan which last week We're vented in
angry militant talk by irresponsible
people, have become somewhat modi-
fled. The entire Japanese nation now
awaits, with intense and evident an
xiety, the outcome of the deliberations
in reference to the California alien
land holding bill proceedings at Sac
ramento.
The governmental and commercial
forces of Japan are using their ut
most eXertions in endeavoring to re-
strain the unthinking agitation here.
They point out that there is not a sin
gle responsible person in either coun-
try who even dreams of war.
1t is becoming increasingly evident
that the agitation in Japan is largely
inspired by a small political group
seeking to embarraSS the japanese
government and putting forward the
American land question to rouse ma
tional feeling and hide their real pur-
pose. Those newspapers which caused
the war talk among the hot heads
are now advocating a more dignified
and conservative attitude and express
ing the hope that the citizens of Cali
fornia will spare Japan indignity and
the United States embarrassment.
Wilson Gives His Views.
Washington, April 21.-In discuss
ing the situation arising out of the
strued by Japan as discriminatory,
President Wilson today told callers his
whole thought was that there should
be no discrimination against the Jap
anese. Laws embodying features of
the socalled senate bill pending at
been in force in various states, and
have not been objected to.

Wilson Holds Up Jobs as Club

MANY ON THEIR 'UPPERS"
Job Hunters Borrow Money
From Congressman.
With Which to Buy a Ticket
Home.

Washington, d. c., April Ex-senator
"Pitchfork' Tillman, of South Caro-
lima, few days after the inaugura tion
picturesquely alluded to the wild asses
that had broken into the green corn.
There, athirst, they were helping them
selves to their fill. The senator con-
ceived of them as quenching a drout
they had experienced since the far-off
days of the last Cleveland administra-
ton.
Nevertheless, in spite of the humor
of the South Carolina senator, there are
a lot of sad-eyed gentlemen lowering
about Washington, and still more to be
found back at the corners and cross
roads, who have not broken into the
green corn. They have got no nearer
to it than to be allowed to stand on
the wrong side of the fence and look
over into the promised land. More
over, many of them are coming to the
conclusion this is as near as they ever
will get.

PROBE ASSAULT CASE.
Speaker Clark Appoints Members to
Investigate Sims-Glover Trouble.

Washington, April 21.-Congres-
sionaI investigation on the assault on
Representative Sims last Friday by G.
C. Glover, a local banker, was formal
ly asked of the house today in a reso-
luton by Representative Garrett of
Tennessee, who called on Speaker
Clark to appoint a select committee
of five to report a course of procedure
by next Saturday. The resolution was
passed without opposition. Mr.. Sims
was willing to let the affair drop, but
other member contend that an attack
on a member of congress for what he
has said or done on the floor is in
contempt of congress itself. Speaker
Clark appointed Representatives Da-
Wis of West Virginia, Covington of
Maryland, Crisp of Georgia, Prouty of
Iowa and Nelson of Minnesota.
Representative Campbell of Kansas
declared during a brief discussion that
from a study of the law he believed
the house could not punish anyone for
an assault committed outside of the
h0nSR

POPE IS STRONGER
Watches Rome Celebrate 2,633d
Anniversary Today.
Physicians Have Allowed Him
a Change of Diet.

Rome, April 21.-The pope this
morning was in much better spirits
and felt stronger. He still suffered
somewhat from coughing. AS the day
was sunny, the pontiff was allowed
to rise and sit in an arm chair in front
of the closed window. For the first
time since his last relapse the pope
was able to look into the Piazzi di ST.
Pietro, which was alive with people.
When he saw large number of flags
were flying, he asked the reason and
was informed that today was the an
niversary of the foundation of Rome,
2,663 years ago.
"Cities grow with age while men
Decline" remarked the pope.
The physicians and attendants of the
pope are taking greatest precaution to
prevent him from making any exer-
ton Just now. The pontiff, however,
is eager to begin work again, and often
insists that Mgr. Bressan and Mgr.
Pescini, his private secretary, read
him the most important of the letters
which accumulated during his illness.
The betterment of his health was so
marked today that Prof. Marchiafava
permitted him change of diet. The
patients luncheon consisted of rice
cooked in the Venetian way, a small
piece of chicken breast and half
glass of old Bordeaux.

Strikers i'm Belgium Receive
Federal Recognition.
Political Circles Look for q

HALF MILLION ARE NOW OUT
Second Week Finds Ranks of
Strikers UnbrOken.
Carrier Pigeons May Be Called
Into Service.

Brussels, April 21.-The general
strike for equal suffrage in Belgium
enters on it's second week with the
ranks of the strikers unbroken and,
in fact, strengthened by the addition
of still further recruits, bringing the
total up to nearly 100000 according
to Socialist computations.
A cheerful spirit prevails among the
working class, who feels that the gov
ernment will be obliged to yield at
least to the compromise suggested by
the Liberal leaders. This provides that
the equalization of the parliamentary
franchise shall be taken up imme-
diately for consideration. A commit
tee which is now dealing with the
provincial and commercial franchise,
hope to evolve a plan improving on
the present method.
Cabinet ministers on the other
hand are determined not to surrender
if the government still commands
majority of the chamber of deputies

ROW over TITLE
Germany Is Worried Over King
ManueI's BetrOthed.
Some Say She Will Be "Queen,"
Others, "Duchess."

Berlin, April 21.-A lively controversy
has been started here on the question
whether the Princess Augustine Vic
toria of HonenzolIern, who is affianced
to ex-King Manuel of Portugal is to
be called queen Some of the Ger
man experts on court questions de-
clare that she will rank only as
duchess with the title of royal high
ness, while others assert that as Man
uel has not recognized his deposition
from the throne of Portugal and re-
tains the titles of king and majesty
even at those courts whose govern
ments have officially recognized the re-
public of Portugal his consort will
share this courtesy title.
In Berlin, little is known of the bride,
as her entire life has been spent in
the south of Germany but it is under
stood she will bring to Manuel a plump
dowry her branch of the Hohenzollern
family being very wealthy. Ex-King
Manuel visited his aunt, Duchess Karl
Theodore of Bavaria in 1912, and at
that time met Princess Augustine Vic
toria He went to Sigmaringen last
week on another visit to the family
The betrothal was announced three
dayS later.
