MEETING WEDNESDAY
Judge Van Fleet and Others Address
Club Members at Session Held

Judge Vernon w. Van Fleet spoke
Wednesday night before the South
Bend Lawyers club at their third
monthly meeting which was held in
the private dinin9 room of the Y. NJ.
c. A. The attendance at the meeting
was the largest that the club has had
since its organization. The meeting
was presided over by Pres't Dan Pyle.
The next meeting of the club Will be
held in September.
Judge Van Fleet gave an informal
talk on THE Technique of a Trial. 3"
He called attention TO the incidental
things which arise during the course
of a trial and to the Importance OF
handling these in such a manner as to
make a favorable impression on the
court and the jury. The errors, he
said. which lawyers are prone to make
during a trial were the result of care
Iessness rather than of ignorance. The
speaker urged the necessity of prompt-
ness in attendance at court. OF re-
spectful behavior in the court and Of
thoughtfulness for the Judge.
ImpromDtu talks were also made by

HIGH STUDENTS CALL
OFF PROPOSED BANQUET
Hundred Were Needed, But Only
Thirty-five Juniors and
Seniors Respond.

Juniors and seniors of the high
school will not hold their much talked
of juniCr-seniOr banquet this year.
The reason for the postpOnement as
made known by high school authori-
ties is that there was not enough en-
thusiasm shown in the matter. At "a
joint meeting OF the classes held Mon
day afternoon they voted that If 100
would pay I'm their money and sign up
before wednesday night, the affair
would be held. otherwise it would be
dropped
A careful count of the number Of
names signed up at the close of school
on WednesG2y showed that 80 out OF
the 800 or more students i'm the two
classes really wanted the banquet
one Of the main reasons why the
affair did not take favor with the stu
cents was the fact that they were not
permitted 10 hold Il at the Oliver
hotel. When they thought that the
BANQUET would be at the oliver every
one was anxious TO make IL a sue
cess. but when the oliver was denied
them the students seemed 10 lose all
interest in the affair. claiming that
they were forced TO come TO school
every day and that they wanted one
party that was different from all those
previously held.

HOW POLITICS faint DIPLOMACY

However good or bad a Secretary of
State MIR. Bryan may have been, his
particular training was not the best
preparation for that Office at time
when international questions were OF
foremost concern to all of us in this
country. 1t was a life-and-death mat
ter, as well as a matter Of dollars and
cents. that we should have had the
ablest and best talent in the country
shaping our foreign policy and handling
diplomatic questions during the past
two years. Yet Mr.. Bryan was made
head OF the State Department for rea-
sons of Democratic party politics alone
We were obliged TO witness the recall
of trained ambassadors and ministers,
and the substitution Of untried men in
diplomatic posts all TO satisfy the
pressure of so-called good Demo-
Gratis for salaries and honors at the
public expense. The exigencies Of in
ternal politics in the Democratic party
have led to the Generalization Of our
painfully constructed fabric Of good ad-
ministration in the Philippine Islands.
Phases Of party politics had been in
the treatment of the Mexican question.
and worst of all, in the diplomacy that
relates to the permanent use and con-
troll of the Panama Canal Herein lie
real dangers to public interest.
There is now pending in the United
States Senate a treaty with the Repub-
lie of Columbia, so suspicious in its
origins, so shameful in its explicit pro-
visions, and so fraught with mischief
beyond remedy, that to ratify it would

CHARGE OF PERJURY is BROUGHT
Against Edward j. Griffiths, who VISA
of Mineral Point in Boyhood.
snecinl nom Monroe. Dc. 70.


Charged with perjury, Edward j..
Grifiths has been returned to Monroe
for trial. The arrest is an echo of the
action for divorce tried in the local
courts last February. Griffiths was
arrested in Chicago.
The arrest and prosecution of Grit
fiths marks another chapter in the
SCATTERING of the romance OF Mrs.
Nettie S. Wright of this city. The
two were children together, and inti-
mate friends. Their ways divided and
the woman became the wife of Collin
Wright, during his lifetime one of the
leading lawyers Of Monroe.
Following the death Of Wright, the
widow and Griffiths CHANGED to meet
while she was caring for her mother
in a neighboring town. Soon their en-
gagement was announced. 1t was Civ
en- out that Griffiths was prominent
broker on the Chicago board Of trade,
as well as the owner of large real es-
tate holdings in the west. A short
time before their marriage, according
to the testimony offered at the divorce
hearing, he asked and secured loan
of 81 900 from his bride-to-be, all Of
his wealth being tied up in invest
ments in which he was unable to real
ze at the time Following the mar
rage he made other loans, totaling be
tween $1,000 and $4,000. no part Of
which, it is alleged, was ever repaid.
Following the marriage there was a
wedding trip to California, and it was
soon afterward the matrimonial bark
struck the rocks when Grifiiths was un-
able to show his western holdings.
In a hearing before County Judge
Becker, prior to the divorce suit last
February in the circuit court, Grifiiths
testified that $50 was all that stood be-
tween him and the poor house, and all
Of the money he had borrowed from
his wife had been expended.
Mrs Wright was given judgment in
the sum she had loaned. Grifiths re-
turned to Chicago to his home with
relatives, although it is alleged, he re-
turned to Madison, Wis, long enough
to make the acquaintance of the wife
of a prominent professor at the state
university, who fell victim to his wiles.
However, this is denied by Griiiiths.
The present action for perjury is
filed by Mrs Wright not so much in
the belief that she will be able to re
cover the money which has been loaned
as through her desire to check the
career of Grifiiths and prevent other
women from losing their property.
Considerable feeling has been mani
tested here by the fact that Grifliths
has been permitted to stop at the lead
Ing hotel in the city at tide expense of
the county and under guard of spe-
cial officer paid by the county, instead
Of being locked in the county Jail while
awaiting his preliminary hearing, al
though he claims to have but nineteen
cents.
