SCORES NEW YORK LAW.
Judge Says 1t Makes Possible Escape of
Many Criminals.

New York, May l.-''if Charles w.
Morse or Julian Hawthorne and any
number of other law breakers that have
been convicted in the federal courts had
been tried in the New York state courts,
they never would have been convicted"
declared Judge Edward Swami OF the
court Of general sessions, Tuesday, in an
address before the National Jewellers
Board of Trade Judge Swami is the
author of bills now before the state SEN
ate designed to harmonic state juris-
prudence with federal He said that un-
der the present system Of jurisdiction in
New York state many criminals go free,
and much money is wasted which the
Judge is powerless to prevent because
he had no part in the machinery OF just
ice except to umpire the case.
''Under the state laws" he said, "a
man charged with number Of crimes IS
not tried for them all. The prosecutor
must charge some specific crime on a
certain date, leaving a man chance TO
prove a beautiful alibi for that partieu-
lar crime. In the federal courts, all OF
his crimes are set forth, and it is i'm
possible to establish an alibi for each
crime"

on strike this morning soon after the
gong sounded at Z o'clock. The men
were city laborers whose services were
placed at the disposal OF the gas com

their sudden decision to walk out, as
they asked neither for higher pay nor
shorter hours. Street Superintendent j.
C DeBrune was notified OF the wholesale
evacuation and he Immediately detailed
another gang to continue the work at
Wiley street. Not all of the men laid
down the tools of production this morn
ing but the ten who actually walked
out were so non -compittal in stating
reasons for their action that the EN-
nloyer was at a loss to know how to
deal with them.
When interviewed this forenoon, SUI
perintendent DeBrune said the striking
exeavators would not be allowed to come
hack as their purpose in quitting was
altogether too indefinite. Many men
are available fof the work, he said, and
The broken ranks at Wiley street had
been easily filled. Along with the Ia
borers who stuck to their posts, the
striking excavators had been paid from
sl75 to 50 per day. Yesterday, work
on the gas main was carried on with
