LAW,NOT JUDGES,
BLAMED BY TAFT
Former President Advocates
Clayton Bill to Simplify Pro-
cedure in Federal Courts.
AIRS VIEWS TO SOLONS
Says Jurists Should Be Relieved of
Appointment Powers-Enter-
tanned at White House. -
AIRS VIEWS TO SOLONS

Before the House Judiciary COMMITTEES
yesterday. former President Taft ap-
Feared in his new capacity as President
of the American Bar Association, to ad-
vccate the Clayton bill. q measure de-
signed to reform judicial procedure. with
a view to simplifcation and shortening OF
law cases, and to facilitate their progress
through the courts. Already the Supreme
Court has effected material reforms in
equity practice, but the Federal courts
are hampered in the administration of
justice through statutory laws presenting
complications of a technical character.
Mr.. Taft took occasion to utter once
again his warning against the enactment
of laws providing for the recall of the
judiciary Or the recall of judicial de-
eisions. He told the committee the causes
of most attacks on the Judiciary were
occasioned by defective statutes and cum
berscme technicalities, rather than
through any weakness or evil in the
judiciary itself.
Felt Some Hesitation.
He explained to the committee 1t was
with some hesitation that he approached
any subject in the attitude of a pro-
ponent, for the reason that his favor
might be regarded as too great a burden
for even most just legislation to carr.
Said Mr.. Taft:
There are altogether too many people
in this world who are ready to say: Can
any good cSme out of Nazareth But of
late / have come to the opinion, since I
have been relieved of the responsibilities
Of office, that when a man says what he
thinks and means il, whether IT helps or
hurts, it is better to say 1t"
Mr.. Taft supports the Clayton bill just
as il stands. He told the committee ne
thought perhaps 1t would be better IL a
section were added providing for n COM
mission to serve under the Supreme Court
Of the United States and to carry on the
detailed work of procedure reform under
the supervision of the justices.
But" said Mr.. Taft, that would in
volve an appropriation, and I have had
some experience with the hindrance to a
legislative measure which an appropria-

that without money you will be without

me. I shall prove my love for you l
am going to give you enough money to
keep you in luxury long after I'm dead
and gone"
Then my attorney and Valentines at
torney drew UP a contract In which
$50. 900 worth of stock in the Dayton and
Western Traction Company, which Valen-
tine built, and of which he was president

have done everything else that I thought
he wanted.
Divorced I'm 1907.
I'm now at the end Of the story. It
began long ago. Valentine Winters,
Frederick Darst, and !, then Susan Hoff-
man. were cousins. I married Darst in
1896. but after what seemed to be happi-
ness he tired of me. We were divorced

Valentine Winters married Helen Clegg
She is the daughter of Charles B, Clegg.
a millionaire traction owner Of Dayton
Valentines father, John Winters, also Is
a millionaire. He was president OF the
Winters National Bank at Dayton and
a traction owner.
Long before my divorce, Valentine and
Helen were unhappy. Helen would come
to me to tell of her unhappiness, and
then Valentine would confide his un-
happiness. Helen was attractive, and con-
sidered very pretty, agreeable, and had
many friends. Valentine was very neat
considered very well groomed, and liked
for his honor and character. de always
talked of honor and was critical OF any
thing dishonorable. He was thought
above dishonor.
Valentine had love affairs, fiirtations,
and lesser affairs, and helped him with
them. Yes, l helped him to win other
women. ! loved him. Then he grew to
love me. He tried to divorce his wife IN
Texas, but there II took too long. Then
he tried In Idaho and failed. He wanted
divorce badly because he had two chill
dren. Harriet. now twenty-five years old.
and John, now sixteen years. But Il was
impossible for him to get a divorce.
In March. 1910. Valentine and / went
abroad. He had been separated from
his wife SO long a reconciliation seemed
impossible and loved him and he want
ed me. He was then about forty-two
and was about thirty. Our act was

ton can provoke, 30 I will leave that
suggestion In the hands Of the commit
tee and let them talk II over with
Brother Fitzgerald"
The former President expressed the be-
lief that the Federal judiciary should be
relieved of all powers and responsible
ties In the matter of patronage. He said;
''rhe power of a Federal Judge 10 ap-
point receivers and other temporary OFF,
cials should not be delegated to them
for arbitrary exercise. Appointments of
receivers and similar officials should be
made from list to be furnished by some
official body; in Interstate commerce cases
by the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and in other cases by other authorities
not the court"
Judge Parker Gives Views.
Mr.. Taft was followed by Judge Alton
B. Parker. Of New York. who expressed
the APPROVAL Of the New York Bar Asso-
ciation Of the Clayton bill. Judge Parker
acknowledged that the judicial systems
OF the States and of the Federal gov
ernment were hampered by statutes tend
ing to create legal technicalities which
materially hindered the dispensation Of
justice. Judge Parker paid deep tribute
to Mr.. Taft. saying:
'.Since he has retired from public life
he has given himself to the public service
in private way to a greater extent than
any other public man in my recollection.
and the public is grateful to him for II.
Senator Root. of New York, who fol-
lowed Judge Parker. said:
1T. is quite evident that the feeling is
very general that there are defects in
the Federal practice which ought to be
cured. Throughout tEa United States, in
varying degrees. justice is sadly tangled.
There have arisen a class of lawyers
whose sole business and reputation In
built upon their ability to make use Of
statutory technicalities whereby delays
are practically endless. II is a fact that
men have taken cases for wealthy clients
with the understanding that their sole
purpose was to put on the final adjudica-
ton OF the cause as long as possible"
Entertained by the wilson's.
Immediately at the conclusion Of the
hearing Mr. Taft clambered into his taxi
cab and trundled up to the White House,
where, for the first time since he left
there on the morning of President VII
sons Inauguration. he entered the main
edifice. where he was entertained at
luncheon by the President and Mrs. Will
son. Mr.. Taft looks well His eyes are
clc=r and bright, his complexion ruddy,
and his step springy.
When Mr.. Taft arrived at the House
Office Building yesterday there was con-
siderable discussion among the commit
tee members as to how he was to be ad-
dressed. 1t was finally decided to call
him just Mister" The ex-President got
wind of this, and told Mr.. Clayton he
didn't care what he was called. whether
President, ex-President. or Mister '1t is
what 1 am called" he said,
