CURRAN COURT
IDEAS BACKED

Of Judge Curran's proposals. they
seemed to him theoretically sound
and workable.
Judge Walter j. Casey, Judge
Curran's associate on the Police
Court bench, also endorsed them
generally, but said some of the
proposals merited more study than
he had been able to give them.
He referred particularly, he
said, to the idea of a clinic at
tached to the court. The plans
to be workable, would necessitate
setting up an intricate and radical
system, he observed, inasmuch as
the court has nothing at present
which even approximates it.
Doubt on defender"
The idea of a public defender
for persons unable to afford legal
fees, Judge Casey said, has been
in practice in several Jurisdictions
1t was on this score that Judge
Casey was critical. He said:
"Judge Curran has no doubt
given a great deal of study to
the ideas he has put forth, and
perhaps he sees in this one
something I may have missed.
In a court where the volume of
cases handled is as great as it
is here, 1 am not certain that
public defender" would
serve what I think is Judge
Curran's purpose. In the courts
dealing exclusively with fel-
Onies, a public defender" is not
only an asset but almost neceS-
Sary."
None Of the four branches Of
Police Court deals with felonieS
Judge Casey pointed out.
Presiding Judge John P. Nc
Mahon said he had been unable
to study Judge Curran's proposals
as he was out of town over the
week end, and declined to com
ment.

PARIS, January 22.-The Govern
ment of Premier Laval went down to-
day as he and his ministers resigned
in the face of political dissensions.
The immediate cause of Laval's
overthrow was the withdrawal of sup
port by the Radical-Socialist party
| factions.
It climaxed long political feud in
which Edouard Herriot, minister Of
state. resigned as president Of the
Radical Socialists and then withdrew
his support from Laval.
The name of Marcel Regnier, min
lister of finance, was advanced as the
possible successor to Laval as premier
Political circles regarded Regpier as
more acceptable to the Rightists than
other members of his wing because
of his strong advocacy of . stable
currency.
Sarraut Also Mentioned.
Other observers injected the name

premier and veteran statesman. into
discussions of Laval's successor.
Regnier. formerly minister Of the
interior in the 1884 cabinet Of Premier
Pierre Etienne Flandin, has been a
defender Of Laval's decree laws and
the policy of credit expansion.
He has based his administration on
two points: Elimination Of monetary
uncertainty and an end to exceptional
military expenditures
May Return in Crisis.
Observers predicted Lavals refusal
to attempt to form q new cabinet in
the face Of party opposition until
others had tried and failed. Then, II
was forecast, he might lend his hand
| in the governmental difficulties to fore
stall long cabinet crisis leading to
financial difficulty.
A government composed of Leftist
elements was considered improbable
Laval conferred with President Le-
brun for almost an hour this morn
ing, but declined to make any declara-
tion when he left the Elysee Palace.
Deputies said Herriot, Flandin and
Leon Blum, the Socialist leader, had
decided to support Left concentra-
ton cabinet headed by Regnier q
both premier and minister Of finance.
Bonnet was mentioned for foreign
affairs largely because OF his expert
ence In trade negotiations.
Observers in the chamber saw IN
indication that Laval's opponents
were determined to follow Regnier'a
policy Of safeguarding the franc from

$188, 100000 in 1910, the previous low.
Exports during 1885 were valued at
s2,282, ,023, 900, about per cent more
than in 1884.
Imports totaled $2,047, ,797, 900. an
increase of "a per cent.
The favorable balance-excess OF ex-
ports over imports-was reduced ma
terially from that existing at the end
of November by an unusual decline in
December exports, while imports. which
ordinarily decrease between November
and December. increased.
December exports were 1928, 1877 .ooo
against s269, $40 900 in November, 1895

December imports were $179,344.OO0
against $162 .808, 900 in November and
$l26,19 900 in December, 1884.
Record Gold Imports.
For the year net imports OF gold
were 81, ,739, ole 900, which. the depart
ment said, even after allowance for
the changed value OF the dollar. is the
largest amount imported in any one
year in the Nations history.
Total exports to Italy during 1888
were shown to have exceeded 1884 by
more than 100000. The total was
$7l ,331 900 against $64, ,090, 900 in 1884
December exports continued the
substantial gains shown in recent
months despite the administration
