SALVATION ARMY FIGHTS
TO KILL RESTRICTIONS
Work Said to Be Hindered by Los
Angeles Charities Commission.
Ready to Go to Supreme Court.

LOS ANGELES, January 23.-The Sal
walton Army, through an amended COM
plant, filed in the superior court, has
resumed a fight to throw off the re-
strictions in it's work here, imposed by
the municipal charities commission
The commissions demands have caused
the closing of nine industrial stores
operated by the Salvation Army. the
curtailment of the organizations's phil
anthropic activities and the cessation
of its soliciting clothing, books and
other articles.
Counsel for the Salvation Army said
today the case would be carried to the
United States Supreme Court, if neces-
sary, because Of the possibility of SINH
lar conditions arising elsewhere, and
aso because there is at issue the
basic principles of the Salvation Army
work.
The requirements of the charities
committee that the army incorporate
in California have been met. The de-
mand that the board of directors be
composed of residents of Los Angeles
approved by the commission has not
been carried out. AS at present consti-
tuted, Commander Eva Booth Of New
York is the president and five local
officers are the board Of directors.

UPHOLDS U. S. JUDICIARY.
New York Bar Association Commit.
tee Combats Roosevelt Theory.

BUFFALO. n. Y, January 23.-One of
the special committee reports submit
ted to the New York State Bar Asso-
ciation here took issue specifically with
utterances Of former President Roose-
Welt concerning the judiciary system of
the United States.
The subject was treated under the
professional heading OF THE report of
the committee on the duty of courts to
refuse to execute statutes in contra
yention of the fundamental law" In
general it was a studied reply to critics
who complain of judicial usurpation
of legislative power by the American
judiciary.
At the outset the report reviews par
ticularly the writings Of Col. Roose-
Welt, and in reply to his arguments, as
we'll as those Of others, it declares
that the experience Of 1874 years of
court review of unconstitutional or
ultra wires laws has demonstrated that
NOT only the citizens of the United
states, but those Of the British en-
pire and of several other countries as
we'll. where there is no federal coun-
Gil with plenary power to veto. annul,
repeal or suspend laws, prefer court
review to the establishment of a fed
eral council with absolute power to
veto annul, repeal or suspend all or
mart of any legislation, state or fed
eral.

5000 QUAKE VICTIMS
UNDER CARE IN ROME
Woman Who Saw Seven Children
Die, One by One, Driven Mad
With Grief.

ROME, January 90. $40 am.-The
number of injured who have been
brought here from the earthquake zone
to be cared for has now reached $4,000
Sixty of the wounded have been placed
in the building given by DR.. Bertrand
Tipple of Syracuse, n. Y. pastor of the
American Methodist Church here. DR.
Tipple's wife has returned from the
earthquake district and has assumed
direction of this impromptu hospital.
A pitiful case which has been brought
to the notice of the authorities Is that
of Maria Irti, who was extricated after
seven days burial in the ruins of the
town OF Ortucchio, southeast Of Avez-
zano. During that time she saw her
seven children die around her, one by
one. anG .=- grief over their loss and
the fact that she was powerless to
help them has driven her mad Mrs
! Irti has to be constantly watched be-
cause she springs at others of the
wounded in the belief that they are
prosecuting her. Her husband is work
ing in America, and a few days before
the earthquake she received from him
5000 francs ($600) which thus far has
not been recovered.

need, said Frank P. Walsh, chairman
of the United States commission on
industrial relations, in addressing the
Peoples Union here last night. To
give men work. he added. the govern
rnent should reclaim lands taken from
the people by 'imprudent acts of leeis-
iators, or INSCRIPTIONS persons"
Every man sleeping on the roadside
is an enemy Of every other man in
this country" the speaker added.
every tramp reduces tho standard of
living Of every man in the United
States today.
The great thing that could be done
by the United States government is
to get the men back to the land, the
basic source OF all wealth. where
muscle and Drawn alone are needed.
TIL, government should begin at once
to take back the land that has been
stolen from the people. i hope the
officials OF the state and ration will
take back the lands, even if they are
called condscationists."

HOPES EMPIRE STATE
WILL POINT THE WAY
Former President Taft Counsels the
Safeguarding of Fundamental
Laws Of States.

BUFFALO. January s3.-William II
Taft, former President was the CUES
Of the New York State Bar Association
at two sessions Of it's annual meet1ns
here yesterday, at the first of which he
was elected an honorary member. a.
last nights meeting he delivered al
address on State CONSTITUTIONS II
which he said there was wide interest,"
throughout the country in the coming
New York state constitution. an inter
est growing out of the hope that the
Empire state will show the way.
I'VE have just been through dec
ade In which the most radical and dan
gerous changes Of fundamental law
have been proposed" he said.
Comments on Unwisdom.
Il don't propose to discuss the utter
lack of wisdom in destroying our mos,
valuable representative system by the
initiative and referendum or taking
away courage, independence and op-
portunity for wise planning by ouI
executive officers through a system OF
popular recall or Of the viciousness OF
tne suggestion of recall Of Judges AND
judicial decisions, because it is quite
clear from the high character Of the
delegates to your convention that OF
all such heresies short shrift will be
made should they show their heads"
Mr.. Taft said that the enactment of
what should be only statutory provi-
sions In some state constitutions has
as fundamental law, and has greatly
stimulated their constant change. In
some states a bill Of rights can be re-
pealed as quickly as revenue bill, he
said.
IF it were not for the bulwark of
stitution I do not know what might
happen to such states as Arizona, Cali
fornia and others which seem fad
ridden" he added
Guarantees and Organization.
Mr.. Taft then took up tho two sub
5ects to come before the constitutional
convention in which students of con-
stitutional law are interested, govern
mental organization and guarantees of
the individual rights.
Your present governmental struc-
ture In the state of New York. he
said, does not concentrate power or
fix responsibility for the financial well
fare OF the state"
He recommended the appointment OF
sent Of the senate or the consent OF
the entire legislature.
In the preparation of estimates for
each department of the state govern
ment. Mr.. Taft said, the governor
should have more to say.
Taking up the question Of individual
rights, Mr.. Taft referred to the first
amendment Of the federal Constitution
which forbids the abridgment of the
freedom Of the press. This restriction,
he said, ought not to prevent a legis-
hture from enacting suitable legisla-
ton giving the courts power to re-
strain the publication Of the testimony
Of witnesses and accounts of the
prosecution calculated to create public
belief in the guilt Of an accused per-
son before his trial.

England in 1912 Is similar in scope to
that which has been in operation in
Germany since 1900. The German pro-
vision is made directly through gov
ernment agencies. In England GER

HOUSE WOULD ABOLISH
"ST0P!WATCH" METHOD
Amendment to Army Bill Also Elm
mates "Taylor System" From
Government Workshops.

Dependent, OF course. upon the SEN
ate's acquiescence, all "stop-watch
| methods and Taylor systems will be
done away with throughout every gov
ernment workshop under the Dietrich
amendment to the army appropriation
| bill, which was adopted by the House
| late yesterday.
The adoption Of the amendment is a
victory for organized labor, which has
| waged an untiring fight against the
Taylor system for many years. despite
| the adherence to the system by the OFF,
GERS Of the ordnance department. led
by Gen. Crozier. chief of that end Of
the army organization.
Theory Of Taylor System.
The Taylor method is based on the
theory that a distribution OF bonuses
to workmen who complete their work
| in the least time is an aid to greater
efficiency. Stop watches held by super
tntendents have been used to obtain a
| working unit of time for work to be
accomplished. but the entire system
has been attacked by organized labor
and paraded as a distinct disadvantage
| to laboring men. In defending the Die
trick amendment yesterday Represent
ative Buchanan OF Illinois, one of the
''It has been demonstrated that the
expenditure of money for bonuses un-
der this system is not only injurious
to the working classes Of the country.
but Is an absolute waste. There are no
business people of any standing today
that have accepted the so-called stop
watch or Taylor system. 1t is demon
strated that it is not scientific man
agement or an efficient management.
This amendment knocking out the Tay-
lor system is not only humane, but it
will result in an economy.
The amendment was agreed to after
a little discussion as to whether it was
in order or not.
Another Amendment Adopted.
The House also adopted an amend
ment limiting the manufacture OF the
field artillery material to the govern
ment arsenals.
The bill carries s1o1, 200. 900. including
funds for the maintenance of all
branches of the military esta ablish
ment. 1t carries 100000 for the pur-
chase of twenty-five aeroplanes and
$4,000 for armored motor cars.
