tered "the high art Of how to charge a fee
General Benjamin F. Butler, of Massachu
sets, had very large practice. He was not
diffident about his charges, either, and re-
ceived large sums for his services. The story
OF his first large fee has almost, but not quite,
become history. 1t runs as follows: The
treasurer OF large corporation confessed to
Butler that he had stolen and spent $4,000, or
S500O0-the figures differ.
Take $4,000 more and bring it to me"
ordered the lawyer.
The embezzler did as he was directed. With
the $4,000 in hand. Butler offered to COM
promise by the return of $4,000 and the free
dom of his client The offer was accepted.
Caleb Cushing. chiet counsel for the United
States at the settlement OF the Alabama Claims
in Geneva, returned 100000 in retaining fees
to clients. when President Grant sent him to
Spain to straighten out the Virginius tange.
For many years New York City has been
considered the richest Of all fields for law
yers, and the fees have mounted to dizzy
heights.

firmation Of Reynolds and BAR
win. That both will retain the
offices to which they have been
appointed, there seems little
doubt. There are no charges
against either. The confirmation
now rests in the rule committee
and will probably not be brought
up for consideration at all. This
would mean that Reynolds and
Darwin would continue holding
their jobs as before.
There has been a remarkable
falling off in the number of bills
introduced in the house, where
only 46 bills were filed as COM
pared with 207 in the first two
weeks of the 1913 session. In
the senate there were 107 bills
introduced as compared with 142

DECISION MAY
OPEN DOORS TO
HINDU INVASION
Republican A. P. Leased WIre1

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. THAT a
recent decision of the United States
supreme court, received here today, in
which it was decided that a band of
Russians detained at Ellis Island
could not be kept out of the country
because there was not work for them
in the place for which they We're
bound, would open the doors to a
Hindu invasion of California and the
United States, was the opinion ex-
pressed tonight by John L. McNab,
former United States district attor-
ney here.
The efforts to shut out the Hindus,
who had been coming to California in
large numbers for a number of years,
took definite direction. McNab point
ed out, in 1913, when more than 100
of these aliens We're refused landing
on the ground that they We're likely
to become public charges in Cali
fornia.
The Hindus took the case to the
United States district court and Judge
Maurice Doolin ruled against them,
holding that they should be excluded
because it had been shown they were
destined for California and that evil
dence had been piled to prove that
there was no prospective employment
for them. The case was appealed to
the United States supreme court.
According to McNab, federal judges
of this district will have to accept in
their future rulings the principle laid
down by the supreme court in the
case of the Russians

CHICAGO MAYOR
NOT PRESENT At
ANT|-L|O PARADE
Declines Invitation to Re
view Procession of More
Than 10000 Persons Who
March in Protest Against
Sunday Closing

CHICAGO, Nov. More than
10000 persons paraded through the
streets of Chicago today to express
their displeasure at the recent order
Of Mayor Thompson enforcing the
state law keeping saloons here closed
sunday. Some estimates of the num-
her of marchers ran as high as
100000.
The parade, which was under the
erection of the United Societies for
Local Self Government were held with
police approval and police participa-
ton. 1t was at first asserted that if
it was to be demonstration of dis
approval of the enforcement of the
law no police guard would be sent or
permit issued. When it was an
nounced, however, that the parade
was to be an expression in favor of
home rule, the permit was granted.
Although most of the participants
in the parade were on foot, there
were thousands of automobiles and
wagons decorated with the United
States flag and the shield of the
United Societies with it's motto,
home rule and personal liberty for
Chicago"
The marchers came along ten
abreast, paralleling at first a double
column of automobiles and horse We
hicles, passing a reviewing stand in
Grant Park facing Michigan avenue.
Mayor Thompson declined an invita-
ton to review marchers, but the
stand was crowded with officers of
the United Societies and their guests.
More than two hours was required
for the pedestrians to pass the stand.
The marcherS were grouped by
races and many wore the brilliant
costumes of their native lands. Along
side were automobiles and wagons
bearing the women of the same races,
in the gairly colored gowns of their
home lands. Besides flags of the
United States and banners and en-
blems of their societies, the walkers
carried banners expressing their poll
teal and economic sentiments.
we are tax payers read a huge
sign which bore reference to a pub
lie charge made after the recent dry
parade that its participants had been
carefully chosen and in only few
instances tax payers or voters.
THE toiler is worthy of his recrea-
ton was another banner. Still
others were:
1T is less difficult to surrender our
liberty than to acquire it.
If all the fool laws We're enforced,
more than half of the people would
be in Jail"
Morality is not created by laws.
The Sabbath was made for man; not
man for the Sabbath
THE remedy-the referendum
Virtue comes not from the penal
code"
Anti-saloon people who conceded
that the demonstration had brought
out an unusual crowd, attributed it to
the closed saloons, declaring it was
the first time such a demonstration
had ever been undertaken without
the competition of the saloons attrac-
ton. The United Societies said that
1O1. 40 persons took part, of which
80, $50 walked and $3.50 rode.

in vigorous, uncompromising lam
guage, paralleled in the American
notes to Germany, but hitherto for
eign to the communications passed
between London and Washington
and admits that no mistake could be
graver than to underestimate the
seriousness of the contentious ad-
vanced by the United States.
The Times, in an editorial, this
morning, says it imagines that
American jurists and diplomats will
feel that the note is not altogether
worthy the better traditions of the
republic, since it raises Il number
of technical points of disputed in
ternational law, but nowhere rises
the broad view of the larger issues
involved in the world war or in
dictates the statesmans ability to
adapt old principles to novel con-
ditions.
Justifying the British procedure of
searching suspected vessels, and re-
ferring to the complaint that no
redress is obtainable, the Times asks:
Did not we suffer previously from
those and kindred injuries in the
Civil War? Do Americans forget
how they ppractically wiped out the
whole industry of Lancaster and
