Justice Swift
in New JERSEY

who were tried, convicted and were
beginning to serve their sentences
within 14S hours of their capture, are
occurring daily In New Jersey, the
present so-called "crime wave" appar-
emily furnishing an excellent test for
the efficiency of its courts.
Jersey justice" ramed from Maine
to Florida, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, and even overseas, not only be-
cause Of its speed, It's accuracy and its
relentlessness, but also because of Its
fairness and efficiency, was not estab.

as "a state of mind" the people de.

Juries and all other branches of the ad'
mlnlstration of justice, which lead the
criminal to prison and the murderer to
the death chair, are just so many
wheels and gears and belts In an al-
most perfectly working machine"
whose motive power is the people.
Tradition has had much to do with
making Jersey justice" Beginning
with the early days of the settlement
of the state, when many crimes were
punishable by death, the Calyinists
brought into east Jersey distinctive
views Of religious and civil matters
which probably were the roots of "Jer-
sey justice"
New Jersey differs in no great re-
spect from other states as TO the gem

ment of crime. Lynchings and crime
against accused persons, however, are
rare. Officers of the law, from the
highest judges down, are well paid, and
every effort is made to keep politics
out Of the courts. At present there
are more than three-score life pris-
oners in the state prison here and
eight out OF every ten convicts are In
for long terms.
Safeguards for Innocent.
While Jersey justice is swift, the
innocent are safeguarded through q
system Of appeals, reprieves and stays,
the latter sometimes operating to save
convicted persons from the death
chair. The case Of Frank p. James
and Raymond w. Schuck, convicted Of
killing David S. Paul. Camden bank
messenger, is an illustration. After
their arrest the trials Of the murder
ers were expedited and the same day

Wheels OF Court Move Quickly
Famed Not Only for Accuracy and
"Reminiscences, but for Fair
ness and Efficiency.

Trenton, N. interesting light has
been thrown on the operation and
speed "of Jersey justice" as result
OF recent convictions for murder and
other crimes. While mlsdemeanors
and felonies have increased in New
Jersey, as elsewhere In the country in
the last year or so, state records show
that there have been few disagree
ments Of juries, and prison sentences
have been extended to maximum lin
its In order to discourage violations Of
the law.
One feature of New Jersey law that
few, If any, of the other states have,
and which is said to have been a
prime factor In giving the state its ira
dltional reputation for llghtningllke
court procedure, is a provision that a
Jury in first degree murder trial may
designate life Imprisonment instead Of
the death penalty for the convicted
person. This has resulted in many
quick convictions for life imprison-
ment where, otherwise, there might
have been jury disagreements.

 Mean Great Prosperity.

New York, Nov. 18.-Negotiations of a treaty which would prevent fu- ture wars was urged, in conjunction with an agreement to limit navies, by Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel Cor poration, in an address today before the American Iron and Steel Institute, of which he is president. He also be- Titled the suggestion that armament limitation would reduce the manufac- ture of steel, saying the thought was unworthy of even a passing notice. Business was improving, he said. but there must be further adjustments.
 Mean Great Prosperity.
 He asserted that the international arrangement to be concluded must cover every kind of armament hereto fore or hereafter discovered.
 "The benefits which would be de- rived by reason of all the nations liv- ing under peaceful conditions, as com pared with military conflicts, are be- yond calculation" he said. "If means for the firm establishment and main tenance of peace can be found and generally assented to, it will mark an epoch of the greatest business prosperity, as well as the largest measure of happiness that the world has ever witnessed. We should be thankful that this conference has been called"
 Failure of the conference, he said, was unthinkable. An adverse out come would be intolerable and those responsible for it would be repudiated and everlastingly condemned.

Would Reduce by Half.
 Altho a part of Germany evidently wants peace and is ready to get back to peaceful pursuits, the French pre- mier declared, another portion headed by the Ludendorffs and others of the military caste is continuing to preach the old Prussian doctrines.
 The French premier outlined to the conference what is being said at the door of France" which, he added, wants peace
 "How can anyone ask France to disarm under such conditions ?' he asked.
 France, nevertheless, Premier Bri- and told the conference, proposed fur ther reductions in her army which would bring it to half it's former strength, but still leave, of course, the force which he contended was necessary to assure her security.
 Pledges Support of England.
 Speaking for Great Britain and in reply to Premier Briand. of France, Arthur James Balfour, heading the British delegation, practically pledged the support of Great Britain to France "in the face of the lust for domination"
 Senator Schanzer, heading the Italian delegation, told the conference that altho Italy thought 100000 men a just quota for her army, plans were being made for further reduction.
 Japan wants only such an army, Baron Kato, of the Japanese delega- tion, told the arms conference, as was absolutely necessary for purely de- fensive purposes necessitated by the Far Eastern situation" Speaks for America.

 The heart of America, Mir. Hughes said. has carried an imperishable memory of Frances sacrifices for liberty. He agreed with M. Briand that what the world needed was "a will to peace"
 And there can be no will to peace" " he added, 'until the institutions of liberty and justice are secure. May say in reply to M. Briand that there is no moral isolation for the defend CTS of liberty and justice"
