Judicial Expedition.

In an address before the American
city. Chief Justice Taft yesterday de-
plored delays in criminal procedure in
the courts OF this country. He said,
however, that the Supreme Court has
determined that those gentlemen un-
fortunate enough to have been convict
ed in the lower courts are not going TO
have a period OF rest in contemplation
before beginning TO serve the state -
To this end the Supreme Court is ad-
vancing every criminal case that comes
before it, and when 1t adiourns for the
Summer it will have heard every cause
OF that character on its docket
This is an example of expedition
with Justice that should be followed by
all OF the lower courts OF the country.
The courts themselves are in meas
ure responsible for the delays in pro-
cedure, though the state Of the laws is
to be blamed for the major measure of
prolonging trial. On this point the
Chief Justice said: AT no time in his
tory have legislators been so interested
in criminal codes. not so much be-
cause the legislators themselves are in
terested. but because the people are
stirring them up and demanding better
administration Of justice"
In opening the session of the instt-
tute the president of the organization,
former Attorney General Wickersham,
said that the administration OF GRIM
inal justice in this country for some
tine past has been a matter of re-
proach for thoughtful men. This con-
dition, he said. is due primarily to the
failure Of the community at large to
recognize the absolute need Of learned,
impartial and powerful judiciary. But
there is at work a force TO better this
condition. and at no time in the his
tory of the bar has 1t been more active
" engaged In work designed to improve
the administration OF justice than at
the present time.
Here are two notes OF encouragement.
The Chief Justice OF the United States
and the head OF one of the most in
elusive and important organizations Of
lawyers are in agreement upon the
trend toward betterment OF conditions.
There are unmistakable evidences Of
progress. In several Of the States re-
codifcation Of the criminal laws has
been undertaken 10 the end Of speeding
procedure and lesSening the chances Of
the lawbreaker TO evade the conse-
ouences OF his crimes. Earlier and
shorter trials, fewer appeals based on
fechnicalities. more prompt considera-
ton of appeals and curtailment Of op-
portunities for evasion, together With
sitter penalties in cases Of conviction.
are all in the line Of betterment.
The example Of the Supreme Court OF
the United States in clearing It's docket
OF criminal cases for the current ses-
sion Is stimulating. Chief Justice Taft
in his talk yesterday lamented the fact
that the Supreme Court has become a
criminal court. mot so much in the
cases We hear, but in the cases we de-
cline 70 hear" The expedition with
which this highest court disposes Of
baseless appeals might well be emulated
by other appellate courts. For most Of
the delay in the administration OF Grim
1nai justice In this country lies In the
disposal Of appeals. the great majority
OF which are founded upon imnateriai
technicslities without reference to the
fundamental ntIesfinY1f at hssue.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson g. McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Feb. ia variety
of comment in the press on Fridays
stock market. The item that held
my attention was the statement that
fear Of Congressional investigation
OF brokers loans caused the trouble.
Isn't it peculiar how we will all go
out of our way to find excuses and
ignore that which is most plausible
and which is common sense? What
difference does it make to a market
today that at some future day there
is to be Congressional inveStiga-
ton? There is certainly nothing il
legal about brokers loans, so what is
there to fear? A Congressional
committee going to say that loans
are too big? Why we don't have to
wait for a committee to tell us that.
We know it. Everybody has been
talking about it for a long time.
The trouble is we have been living
on lot of phrases, such as ut will
be good for us to lose gold" ut will
be good for us to lower our tariff to
help Europe" that we are in new
era, no more depressions in busi-
ness, everything going to run smooth
ly. Loans are not too big because so
many more stocks listed, and lot
of other phrases like that, We will
have to stop singing the song of
humbuggery with the Fouth Of July
spread-eagle chorus and get down
to earth. We ought to get some
rally today, but don't forget to sell
them on the bulgeS.

H0LU the Market
Opened

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Selling
carried over into the stock market
today from Fridays sharp break,
the years most severe. Trading
continued at a rapid pace with
fairly large blocks changing hands.
After the opening however, some
evidence of steadinesS came tenn
porarily, but hammering of pool
issues went ahead and this un-
settled the whole market.
Stop loss orders placed we'll under
the market of a week or so ago
were encountered in the early
transactions and prices fell. Free
port Texas again furnished the
favorite target of bears. Their
shooting brought it down points
to 68 in heavy turnover. Radio
broke l 4 to 863i, and United States
Steel sold off 2s to 14014.
General Motors opened 5000
shares at 1873 and 500 shares at
1891, off Is to Is, and held around
the 1873 level with support coming
from strong interests. Montgomery
Ward, Postum, ChrySler, Vanadium
International Nickel, Sears Roebuck
Phillips, Pullman, Mack and Stude-
baker were weak.
Missouri Pacific and Green Cana
nea advanced.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day said:
Further liquidation came into the
market at the start of the session
and resulted in lower prices for the
majority of the issues. The tone OF
steady, with most of the issues hold
the market, however, was fairly
ing in the early trading around their
opening levels.
Reports on trade conditions were
somewhat discouraging. Bradstreet's Is
reported the general trade condi-
tions Spotty with notable exception
Of the steel industry. where opera
tions have been stepped up and
prices are stiffening."

JAIL-bREAKER
GIVES SELF UP
Hunger and Cold Drive Men
to Surrender.

Expressing hope that his break
from the Indiana State Farm at
Putnamyille, would result in his
sentence to another prison, George
Reynolds, %, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
was at the city prison today,
recuperating from a 1ve-day battle
with cold and hunger.
Reynolds, with eight other men,
overpowered a guard at the farm
Sunday and escaped by using his
keys. Since he had been walking
railroad tracks at night and re-
manning under cover in empty
freight cars in daytime he told
Lieut.. Fred Drinkut, at police head
quarters Friday night.
He gave himself up, with the
words, Il am half frozen and nearly
starved to death. If they only send
me to some other prison. I feel that
my purpose in the break for free
dom will be rewarded" Reynolds
had been assigned to work in the
stone quarry at the prison.
He was sentenced at Warsaw,
Ind. for breaking in railroad fcars.
Sentence for prison escape is one
to five years, police said. The other
men are still at large.
