STUDY OF JUSTICE
URGED BY HUGHES
Defects Due to Lack of Train
ing, He Says, Opening
Harvard Campaign.
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, November 2-Defects in
the administration of justice through
out the country are due largely to the
lack of equipment and training of
those who administer it. Charles T..
Hughes, former Secretary of state,
said last night at Il dinner at the Har
ward Club. opening n campaign to
raise an endowment of $5,000,000 for
the Harvard Law School.
THE multiplication Of laws, unnec-
essary delays in vindicating rights,
unpublished crimes, the lack of adap-
tion of the law and it's machinery TO
new conditions, seriously reflect upon
our capacity for self-Covernment,
Mr.. Hughes said.
when we consider the thousands
Of bills introduced, probably most OF
them introduced by lawyers, at each
session Of Our Legislatures, the pleth-
ora Of new statutes turned out by our
law factories, the crowded calendars
of courts, the increasing volume Of
law reports, which has made thin
paper the only salvation of our IL
braries, it would seem that we are suf-
fering from what may be called un-
due process Of law.
And when we reflect upon the law
lessness in great communities and the
unwholesome spectacleS afforded by
sensational criminal trials we cannot
escape the conclusion that we are
lamentably remiss in our primary so
cial duty"
Gifts of $4,000 each were announced
from Dean Roscoe Pound Prof. Jo-
