Taft Raps Lawyers.
Chief Justice Taft, who warned the
country some months ago against the
nationwide increase in lawlessness,
frankly criticized the actions of some
lawyers in preventing the effective
operation of the criminal law" In adj
dressing the American Law Institute
yesterday afternoon.
"If there is not somebody or some
organization to look after the forgot
ten man--that is, society at large" he
warned 1--WE are not going to have an
Improvement in the administration of
the criminal law as we ought to have.
Chief Justice Tafts address was the
outstanding feature of yesterdays ses-
sion, and during the course of his re-
marks ne made a report on the work
of the Supreme Court to date. In
this connection, he explained that
while the act of February 13 had
served to facilitate the work of the
court, 1t remains to be determined just
how far this act will go to place the
court abreast of it's docket.
The failure of the criminal laws to
operate for the general good of society
Chief Justice Taft told the institute,
Is matter of grave concern to the
country'and to the legal profession.
Criminal Law Failure.
NO lover of his country" he said.
can have gone through the last three
or four years without having been
stirred deep in his heart over the
failure of the administration of our
criminal laws" He explained he was
not a pessimist because of the deep
feeling that has evidenced itself all
through the country, among the legis-
latures, and among the people at
large as distinguished from those
gentlemen Of our profession whose
chief function in the matter of legisla-
ton has been in the past to interfere
with the effective operation of the
criminal law by special provisions to
save the case"
Referring to the work of the
Supreme Court, Chief Justice Taft
said that necessarily, there has been
some delay in putting the act of
February IS into effect, but he was
advised recently by the solicitor gen.
eral. he added, that if we had an
other week we should have been hear
ing cases which We're begun in our
court the first of the term, that is,
since the 1st of October.
Now, I do not know whether that
will continue" he said. "You can not
always tell. But / think that it is an
indication that by the extended ex-
ercise of the writ of certiorari we are
accomplishing what we hoped by the
change"

German Reichstag Modernizing Law on Divorce to Make Them Easier to Get.

Berlin. Jan. S-Divorces may be had for the asking in Germany when the judiciary committee of the Reichstag gets through with modernizing the existing divorce law, which while lenient in its provisions is involved in so much red tape that legal proceedings are both costly and tedious.
 Among other things the committee is considering a provision which would compel a woman to support her divorced husand as well as children in case it Is proved that the husband is financially incapable and the wife in good circumstances In any case the sup port of the children. according to the pro- posal, would be borne by the most able of the parties in the suit regardless of which one obtained the divorce.
 In general the committee is inclined to allow courts to grant divorces when it is shown that "the actions of either party for any req son made further domestic life unpleasant or unbearable for the other party

PARIS
Love Is So Wonderful It Has. Made Thief of Learned Young Curator.

Paris Jan. S-Love is such wonderful thing that AmeGee Boinet, learned young boollworm, curator of the Sainte Genevieve library carried off a thirteenth century man. uscript and sold it to buy furs for personanle young lady who gave his emotions the i'rst stir they ever had.
 Boinet may never be prosecuted, but he had to tell his story to the police It was the first big adventure of his life, he said. He had quickly learned that all his accumulated knowledge made little impression on Made moiselle who instead liked the furs.
 There were no furs in the library. so the curator took manuscript known to every competent book dealer in Europe and sent IL to a London firm. The London firm remitted a check for 10000 francs, but stopped pay ment on it and notified the Paris authorities that the manuscript must have been stolen.

NO SERVANT PROBLEM.

The servant girl problem has disappeared for the moment, in France. The question is not how to get one, but how to afford one.
 When the cost of living went up, maids wages kept fully apace, for there has been growing shortage since shortly after the war. The slump in business has caused a tightening of belts and an exodus of foreigners who usually paid what servants asked without bar gaining.
 Employment agencies are marked suffer- CTS from slack business. For the first time since the arrnstce there is definite surplus of both girls and valets. Wages for the time however have not diminished

GETS MANY INVITATIONS

Sir James Barrie, who gets so many lunch con and dinner invitations that, if they were arranged according to the calendar, he could subsist on hospitality alone does not enjoy the elaborate spreads of today half so much as the snacks of his college days when he had to hustle for every mouthful
 Sir John Anderson, Permanent Under Secretary at the Home Office, speaking at the Old Students Jubilee. recalled times at Edinburgh University when men came from the Highlands and even from the Islands of the Hebrides with little more in their posses sion than bag of meal.
 Among my fellow students" he said, was sir James Barrie, who once told me that at the university and even some years after ward that his dinners cost him but two pence a day. And how he relished them! The pres ent day banquets are likely to give most au- thors indigestion, but hardly those who lived on the good old fashioned meal and such, in the days when James was coming up into his place in the world"

FORTUNE IN BUTTER.

The romance of a fortune that was won by a will hidden in big chunk of butter has bobbed up in the courts after 21 years, and again romance has beaten the law.
 Mile. Claudine Chavanes, of Saint Etienne refused 10 reimburse friends for 80, 900 francs they advanced to help her win her will case in 1905. She had the law with her, but the courts decided she and her father must pay because, as the proverb says: none must en- rich himself at anothers eXpense."
 When Madame Angelo Berthon, died 21 years ago, no will found and her estate was about to be distributed among distant relatives. Some one discovered deeply em- bedded in 7. mass of butter in the old lady's house, a oiled paper on which Madame Berthon bequeathed her fortune to Mile Chavanes.
 The girls father as she was minor bor- rowed in her name to pay legal expenses to probate the curious will. The case was won, but the father then, and the daughter later refused to pay the debt on the definite legal ground that the father as a guardian had no right to borrow without observing a certain legal procedure, which was not done. The courts decided justice was more important than the letter of the law
