SUPREME COURT
SPEED|ER UNDER
CHANGED RULES
Chief Justice Taft Also Aids
by New Efficiency
Methods.
Bu Times Special

BU Times Special
WASHINGTON, April S.--The
United States Supreme Court is MAX
ing new speed records. The court
has disposed of sos cases, we'll over
100 a month, since it went to work
on the present years business in
October.
There still remain 392 cases for the
high court to hands, but if it MAIN
tains it's present pace the day when
it can announce prompt service
for all patrons" is not far distant.
Change in the rules which per-
mits the court to exercise discretion
in reviewing many kinds of cases, is
the principal reason for the progress
in clearing up docket clogged
since the Civil War. Since October
the court has declined to hear argu-
ments in 317 cases presented. The
balance of the sos cases have been
decided after argument.
Taft Brought Efficiency
According to lawyers practicing
before the court, regime of eff.
cheney, instituted by Chief Justice
Taft, also contributes to speeding up
the judicial output
Although there is nothing about
the Supreme Court, a venerable
group of jurists-average age 67-
to suggest high pressure methods,
its business is now run with-a bang,
lawyers say. Cases are heard at the
hour set or permanently taken from
the docket. There's no more agree
ment among lawyers to postpone
cases. Arguments are cut off when
the time allowed has expired, and de-
cisions are being made by the court
much more promptly.
Same Complaints
Some attorneys even declare the
court is altogether too snappy. The
discretionary power to dismiss cases
the court does not feel disposed to
consider is attacked as resulting in
speed at the expense of thorough
justice. There is also wailing against
the preciseness with which Chief
Justice Taft cuts off arguments.
Brushing aside complaints, the court
continues to smash speed records.

CHINESE WILL ASK
 BRITISH APOLOGY
HankoW Natives Also Will De- nand Withdrawal Of GunboatS

Hankow, China, Jan. 6 Pl-Rep- resentatives of laborers, farmers. merchants, students and soldiers of Hankow have formulated demands to be presented through the nation alist, or Cantonese government. to the British consul. including a de- mand for indemnity for Chinese al legged to have been killed and wounded in the disturbances of Monday, the withdrawal of gunboats and an apology to the Chinese gov crnment.
 Sent As Ultimatum
 The demands, formulated in five articles, are in the nature of an ul- timatum to be compiled with within 72 hours. They follow:
 Article 1. That a protest be sent to the British consul by the nation- alist government, that a request be made to the British government for the payment of an indemnity for those killed and wounded in the dis turbance Of Jan. 8; that punishment be inflicted upon British uniformed men who used force to hand over Chinese to the Chinese authorities; abolition of all volunteers the with drawal of gunboats and the pres entation of an apology to the Chi nese government: that Chinese in tho British concession be allowed to hold mass meetings, make. speeches and hold processions: that volun- teers and armed police no longer carry arms or wear uniforms; that the Chinese government must send civil armed police to the British concession to maintain peace and order and that the headquarters of the garrison troops to be establish ed there.
 Article II. That big demon stration and parade be held in the native city this afternoon.
 Article III. That an economic boycott committee be organized
 Article ". That boycotting committee be organized in the Wu- han cities.
 Article V. That telegrams be sent throuChOut the world deClar- ing the out'awry of the British.
 Concessions Occupied.
 Hankow. Jan. 6 P>-Three hum drel armed Chinese troops and 200 Chinese pickets occupied the British concession here shortly before mid night last night after all women and children were put aboard ships in the Yangtze river. British sailors. marines and volunteers left the con- ces5ion and boarded English war ships.
 The troops occupying the conccs- sion were quartered in the British volunteer headquarters building. Chinese liaison officers were install led in police headquarters. The Chinese troops dispersed a mob of Coolies and restored order.
New Britain herald., 1927-01-06

The hostility of the Chinese in Hankow seems to be centered almost entirely on the British and so far as 1t is known none of the other foreign concessions there has been invaded. The white foreigners in the district number more than a thousand, and of these there are approximately 900 Americans in Hankow and Wuchang. the head quarters of the Cantonese govern ment.
 News of the removal of the Brit sh women and children from Han- kow, Ichang and Kiukiang came in a Shanghai dispatch, which said ihe evacuation was merely precaution- ary. The women and children. num- bering 300, were embarked in two steamers for Shanghai. The men of the British concession, the dispatch added. were concentrating at safe points along the waterfront.
 Missionaries Ordered Out.
 Indication of 8 widespread move ment is given by Picking dispatch to the Daily Mail which says reports of anti-Christian risings in the Yangtze valley are being received there daily. All missionaries in the interior it adds, have been ordered to quit their stations in consequence of the movement. in which the men have been maltreated, the women insulted and the mission stations footed.
 Commenting on the situation, the diplomatic correspondent of the Westminster Gazette says: Great Britain has two sides to her China policy, political conciliation on the one hand and adequate protection of British life and property on the other The government is ready 10 negotiate revision of the treaties with a responsible Chinese govern ment. but it cannot inaugurate ne gotiations in the face of clamoring mob.'

was mentally Irresponsible at the time of the. crime as a result of shell shock and war injuries.
 Governor Taken III
 It was on this ground that At torney Frank Comerford, repre- senting Helnlein's family, strove to put the case before the United States supreme court less than an hour before the men went to their deaths. It sent him whirling to the governors house in a taxicab with only half an hour of grace left, but the move failed.
 The strain of last minute devel- opments told heavily on the gov- ernor and soon after midnight a physician was called to attens him.
New Britain herald., 1927-01-06

there was no demonstration inside the prison walls and guards volun- teered the information that it has become a matter of honor among the inmates to refrain from any manifestation of their feelings on execution nights.
 Two New Features
 The execution was marked by two new features. IL was the first time that three men have paid the penalty for a single murder q triple execution in 1909 having been the result of four deaths in a Chinese tong war and for the first time observers were stationed in the death house 10 note, If pos sible, whether or not the men in the chair suffered any pain. The physicians reported that in their opinion the condemned men lost consciousness within the 120th part of a second.
 The execution, originally set for August s last, had been delayed through efforts to obtain commuta- ton. on the ground that Devereaux

that ran the gamut from arrivals in evening dress, who drove up in taXicabs apparently from empty ing theaters, to men and women of the neighborhood who had shivered for hours before the prison gates. At the rear of the grim building another but smaller gathering awaited in expectation that the bodies would be removed that way.
 Police Reserves Called
 The height of the excitement came at about the time of the first execution when the surging hun drcds swept back the strong police details that had been assigned to keep them from the walls and the officers found themselves battling the foremost ranks with backs to the enclosure.
 ReinforCements were brought from nearby police stations but de- spite their efforts the sounds and flashes were distinctly audible and visible inside the prison. Although tier upon tier of prisoners were conscious of the demonstration.

Crowds Outside
 Outside the prison walls, crowds began gathering as early as 1l:So despite efforts to keep the exact time Of the execution a secret.

The streets immediately became quiet and were cleared of all Chinese except troops and pickets.
