ecutiens in the United States may be
revolutionzed by a decision Tuesday
of the supreme court restricting the
conditions under which prosecuting Of

persons accused of crime. The imme-
diate result of the decision was that

ger at Kansas City, Mo-, will be given

fandant could prevent papers illegally
seized being used against him by going
into court before the trial and demand
ing the return of his papers.

GRAVES ACQUITTED
OF THE CHARGE OF
FALSE REGISTRATION

Lewiston, Me-, Feb. 25.-"Evidence
of criminal intent must be certain and
the court Is unable to find that Graves
made a wilful, false and criminal rep

Judge Brann's decision for discharg-

hearing of uesday, the judge scored
the board of registration for not delv-
ing more deeply into the question and
allowing the issue to reach criminal
prosecution.
Graves was arraigned on Tuesday

LABOR MUST Be
REPRESENTED,
Scientific Management t h e
Suggestion of Brandeis to.
End Irregularity of En-
ployment--Would Give the
Union a Say in Such a
Method of Managing.

. Washington, Feb 25.-Scientiflc man
agement was suggested as a means
of ending irregularity of employment
by Louis D. Brandeis of Boston. who
appeared before the Federal Commits
sion on Industrial Relations recently.
Mr.. Brandeis statement was made pub
lie for the first time today. He de-
clared that employees must be repre-
sented by UNIONS If scientific manage
ment is to be installed on basis that
is fair to the workmen. Opposition
of labor organizations to scientific
management. he declared. was caused
partly by the fact that certain advo-
Gates Of the new efficiency methods
are personally opposed to organized
labor.
ITO introduce scientific management
without labor union to look out for
the labor end he said, would, to
my mind. be almost as dangerous as
to vest in the owner the ordinary
business power to deal with the en-
ployes individually. Even where the
employer is humane, intelligent and
benevolent, IT is not proper that the
settlement of the rights Of his en-
pleyes should rest wholly upon his
will Both sides should be represent
ed. And for this trade unionism is
essential"
Mr.. Brandeis would penalize those
employers who needlessly work men
only part time the same as he would
those working their men overtime.
81 think the part this commission
should accomplish" Mr.. Brandeis de-
clared, .ais to make the country real
ize the moral wrong there is in ir-
regularity, just as our people have
been made to see the moral wrong in
child labor and the excessive labor
of women

GERMAN ADMIRAL
ADMITS THAT DEWEY
WAS WITHIN RIGHTS.

Baden Baden, Germany, Feb. 25.-
Admiral Won Biederichs himself admits
he informed the British naval COM
mander in Manila Bay, at the time of
the Spanish American war, that he
would shoot any American officer who
attempted to board a German war
ship ito make inquiry and establish
her identity in carrying out the or
ders of Admiral Dewey.
This admission was made today in
the course of a further narrative of
events given to The Associated Press.
The strained relations between Ad-
miral Dewey and the German admiral
arose over the visiting between the
vessels of the various powers which,
according to Admiral Biederichs was
quite promiscuous. He admitted there
was a certain justice in Admiral Dew
ey's complaint as to the German ships
being constantly on the move although
this was necessary and in now way
meant to be unfriendly.
Admiral Won Biederichs blamed Ad
miral Dewey for the clash and inti-
mated that ii would not have arisen
if the American commandkr had not
protested about two trivial incidents.
These included the firing of shots by
Americans in order to stop German
pinnaces. One of them was passing
the American vessels and was held
UP because her flag was not showing
plainly and the other was approach
ing the Olympia at night with a mes
sage and was not promptly identified.
The German admiral felt that Ad-
u i ~
unfriendly He sent his flag lieuten-
ant Won Hintze to make formal pro-
test against the action of the McCul-
loeh in hating the German cruiser
Irene in order to learn her identity.
The American retaliated with an an
nouncement that no ship. commercial
or naval, would be allowed to pass
his lines, and announced his intention
of sending an officer on board every
warship arriving in the bay, ito make
inquiry and to establish her identity"
The word inquiry apparently
aroused the ire of the German admiral,
who identified it even today, with
claim to the right to cross-examine
any German commander.
. Admiral Won Diederiehs says he dis
cussed the situation with the British
commander and told him that he
would shoot any officer attempting to
carry out Admiral Dewey's order.

mental equipment of doctor than are
high scholastic attainments. accord ns

Failure to decide early upon the
course he will follow should not keep
back a man OF real power" President
Lowell said.

how many courses he has been through
with the lowest passing grade. I argue
for a test that will be test of mans
real capacity.
MANY persons hold fatalistic theory

any one familiar with college students
knows that the impulse toward career
