This prudent provision was made
by the founders of our Government to
forestall changes without due thought

Loftin said when there is agitation,
following a judicial pronouncement
that a statue is in violation of the
Constitution, for change in the
judicial system which would take
away the courts power in this respect,
the bar should condemn vigorously
any such proposal"
Discussing the need for new
methods in selecting judges, Loftin
said every State should have a plan
that will attract to the courts the
best talent and the most worthy
lawyers so that justice under law may
be administered without fear or favor
by an able, fearless and independent

Reciprocal legislation and inter-
state compactS were advocated as
effective means of combating GRIM

Gordon Dean, special attorney of the
Federal Department of Justice, in an
address today before the association.
-Four fields were suggested by Dean
for immediate enactment of reciprocal
legislation or compactS. They would
provide for simpler procedure for the
arrest and return of fugitives, the
return of nonresident witnesses in
criminal cases, the supervision of

creation by neighboring States of

STRANGE DEATHS
IN BATHS PROBED
American Woman and Eng
IiShman Not Believed
Victims of Fumes.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TTVOLI, Italy, July l6.-Friends OF
Mrs. May Katherine Thompson, 40,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, and H. N. Scott,
English manager of the American Ex-
press Co. in Italy, came to this noun
tain resort today to hear an official
verdict in the strange deaths of the
couple.
Mrs. Thompson and Scott died Sun
day in a cabin of the fashionable sui
phur baths. A doctor treated them
for asphyxiation from sulphur fumes
in a futile attempt to revive them, but
police ordered an autopsy when glasses
containing red liquor were found In
the room.
Declared Ordinary Wine.
Attendants said the liquor was ordi
nary Italian wine. but the local au-
thorities insisted on the autopsy.
A chemical test was made of the
liquid found in the cabin and of the
contents of the victims Stomachs.
Authorities said it was difficult to
accept a verdict of death from sui
phur fumes because of the position of
the bodies.
Mrs. Thompson, in a bathing suit,
was lying in tub through which the
water flowed. Scott, also in bathing
suit, sat in chair at the other end
of the cabin, into which sulphur water
comes fresh from a spring.
Officials said it was possible for
Mrs. Thompson to have died from the
fumes because she disregarded warn
ing posted in the cabin not to enter
the tub before the water reached the
top and before all dangerous vapors
that might have concentrated in the
tub were released.
Doubt Expressed.
They expressed doubt, however, that
Scott could have died from the fumes
as he was some distance from the tub.
One possible explanation offered by
medical examiners was that the cou-
pie had drunk more wine than they
realized and that their condition in
creased the effect of the sulphur va
pors.
Mrs. Thompson, an art teacher,
whose husband is Edwin F. Thomp-
son of Brooklyn, arrived in Rome on
q tour a little more than week ago.
