American Bar Association Be
gins Its Session.
DIVIDED ON INSURANCE
.Majority Condemns Armstrong Laws
and Will Cause Warm Debate.
President Peck Speaks on
New Laws of Congress.
ffT. PAUL, Aug. 29. Tonight's session
of the American Bar Association's 29th
innual meeting drew an attendance
which filled the large chamber of the
House of Representatives In the Capitol
to the doors. Roscoe Pound, of Lincoln,
Neb.,' read a paper on "The Cause of
Popular Dissatisfaction with the Admin,
istratlon of Justice."
The second paper was read by J. J.
Jenkins, chairman of the Judiciary com
mittee of the National House of Repre
sentatives, on the subject, '"Can Congress
Transfer to the State Its Power to Reg
ulate Commerce?" He condemned the
bill now before Congress, which allows
any state to prevent the Importation
within Its borders of articles of inter
state commerce, -which are not allowed
to be sold within the state. This bill Is
aimed to prevent the Introduction of
liquor in original packages into Prohibi
tion states. He said such laws were
unconstitutional and Congress had gone
too far In this direction already. He said
such legislation, which had been unani
mously approved by the Supreme Court,
would practically put an end to com
merce in this country and destroy foreign
commerce as well as Interstate com-,
merce.
Warm Debate on Insurance.
The report of the insurance committee
is likely to be warmly discussed, a ma
jority and minority report having been
made. The majority report condemns
the Armstrong laws of New York as
"conspicuously unwise." and declares
that not only are many states charging
insurance companies much more than the
cost of state supervision, but that in
many states "the administration of In
surance laws has been characterized by
unblushing fraud, mostly in the ghape
of blackmail, or by gross incompetence."
The committee recommends: Biennial
apportionment of deferred dividends; re
peal of retaliatory tax laws and valued
fire policy laws, each state to have a
Fire Marshal: the United States to forbid
the use of the mails by "wild cat" lnsur
, ance companies; the Federal statutes to
regulate interstate insurance transac
tions. The minority report objects In
particular to the last recommendations
of the majority.
Peck Speaks on New Laws.
The report of the committee on the
proposition to create a court of patent
hills recommended that a bill be passed
by Congress creating such a court, to
be presided over by five Judges, who
shall sit on cases arising over patents.
In the report of the committee on a
code of professional ethics a stinging
rebuke Is meted out to the "shyster"
lawyers.
President George R. Peck, of Chicago,
delivered his annual address this morn
ing. He began by reviewing the legis
lation of the last session of Congress,
and then took it as a text for & desser
tation on the development of Government
and the gradual diminution of personal
liberty which results. He asked whether
the individual got all that the spirit of
the agreement of civilized society con
templates when he gives up the right to
be a law unto himself, and said probably .
he does not. Admitting that many un
necessary and many foolish laws are
enacted, he believed that In a way we
are carrying out the "increasing pur
pose" which Tennyson declared "runs
through the ages." Mr. Peck continued:
It has often been pointed out that we are
leaving the simple manners and methods of
our fathers, and that overleglsl&tlon la the
great and dangerous evil of the times. I
think this has been somewhat exaggerated
and its dangers magnified. The old-time
simplicity of a small population cannot ba
expected In a nation of 80.000,000. Whether
the homely plainness of life In the early
days of the Republic was good or bad. It
has undoubtedly gone forever. We have
grown enormously In wealth owing to con
ditions which favored us above all other na
tions, but the main factor In bringing about
the changed method of our living, has not
been wealth, not legislation, not any infirm
ity In our system of government, but the
tremendous activity of the human mind In
the direction of science. It would, perhaps,
be more accurate to say that the great in
crease of wealth and Its accumulation in
colossal fortunes are1 themselves the result,
and the inevitable result, of the sclentlno
tendencies which have been so active in
the past half century. The Inventive energy
which has dominated modern thought must
be counted most to blame for present con
ditions if Indeed anyone Is to blame. The
great Intellectual devefopment of the 10th
century the greatest In all history took
the direction of scientific research, and the
result has been a transformation of the
modes of living, of the alms and asplra
Uons of men. and, necessarily, of the scope
ind purpose of legislation.
What Becomes of Individual?
I shall not believe that the great volume
of legislation enacted by the last Congress
was inspired by a mere wanton lust of
power. It had back of It something higher
and better than that; an earnest desire to
deal with conditions not very well under
stood; and a conviction that the time had
come for doing something. I do not close
my eyes to the fact that we cannot have a
bewildering complexity In all our affairs
and at the same time have perfect simplicity
In government. But In all this turmoil, the
whirl of machinery, governmental and me
chanical, the organization of labor and of
capital, the throbbing of every pulse, and
the strain of It all, to brain and to nerve,
what has become of the Individual man 7
The development of the state and of the
institutions that collectively compose It Is
steadily proceeding, but how about the
units? I have pointed out what seemed
to me to be the causes for the increased
legislation which marks the present age.
This legislation has not been the cause of
the tremendous activity of modern times,
but the result of it. We did not, perhaps,
choose the blare and confusion of the life
In which we find ourselves entangled but
here we are. The one thing that we ought
11 to work for. Is to prevent the oblitera
tion of men. The danger of today Is that
the best and most promising of our youths,
'the expectancy and rose of the fair state,"
Will be swallowed up, ground up In the
wheels of a relentless. Insatiable mechanism
that neither knows nor cares. What we
stay do to reconcile individual right and
individual freedom with the assured cer
tainty of Increasing legislation we must do
as lawyers, and still more as American citi
zens. And out of it all, step by step, we
dhall go forward maybe to better things.
Cut anyway, we shall go forward.

START OF CURVE PITCHING
OldWTimer Tells of How Cummlngs
Sprung Style of Delivery.
Denver Republican.
The old forty-niner was In a reminis
cent mood last week as be sat in the
White Lot, an , interested spectator of
the exciting game in progress between
the Navy and Postofftce teams of the
Department League, Washington. There
was a large crowd present and all were
more or less interested in the pitching
of the young sailor boy from the United
States States steamship Dolphin, whose
in and out curves, high balls and drops,
were making monkeys out of the Letter
Carriers. "That boy's work reminds me of the
first time curve pitching was put in prac
tice," he remarked, "and strange to say,
it was Just 39 years ago, and right on the
spot where that boy is now doing such
good work. In 1S67 the old National base
ball club had as their guests the famous
Excelsior club of New York, they play
ing a series of games with our team at
that time. Everything was done to make
the visitors' time pass pleasantly, and
at the Instance of President Gorman a
match - was arranged from among the
visitors who came with the Excelsiors
and the team of youngsters known on the
White Lot as the Junior Nationals.
President Frank Jones, of the Excelsiors,
who Is now a resident of Washington,
readily agreed and the game took place
In the morning preceding the regular af
ternoon game.
"The team of Excelsiors was made up
of four of their own players, substitutes,
and the rest members of the famous At
lantlcs, of Brooklyn. They sent In to
pitch a tall, wiry young man named
Cummlngs, with a shock of blonde hair,
and from the outset he had the- crack
amateur team of Washington dancing
around home plate, side stepping every
way for fear of being hit. For quite a
period the umpire, Al Mills, of the
Unions, could not get a line on the de
livery, for the curving ball kept him busy
Jumping out of the way, hence Cum
mlngs got the worst of his decisions.
"As the game progressed the umpire
got on the shifts, and Cummlngs got the
better of the argument, while the Wash
ington players were up In arms against
the decisions. Strange to say, Arthur
Cummlngs did not realize at that time
the value of his curve ball, for, as he
expressed It, he did not use It much, as
he depended on his straight, swift shoot.
"In fact," said the Forty-niner, "he did
not fully realize the value of his curve
ball until he went up against the Junior
Nationals, but later in the year In New
York, as a member of the champion At
lantlcs, he put It in practice and retained
for his team the championship trophy for
three seasons afterward. So you perceive
that curving a baseball by a pitcher was
for the first time practically demonstrated
right here on the White Lot.
"In going over the score the other day
I noticed that in that game Jewell, the
catcher of the Junior Excelsiors, had 15
catches off strikes and four foul catches,
so you can see what the curves did for
the local Juniors. It was this practical
demonstration by Cummlngs in 1SS7 that
has led up to the present time, when
Chesbro spit, Mathewsorw floaters, Falk
enberg criss-cross, and many other of pe
culiar names are working off to the ad
vantage of the artists doing the slab stunt
in our big leagues." 1
RAINING IN PARIS.
But the Natives Never Miss Outdoor
Excursions.
Harper's Bazar.
The sole effect rain seems to have on
French spirit Is to bring out Its bright
ness by contrast with clouds. "Tiens!
11 pleut!"- ("Ah, It rains!" And mon
sieur, dressed with scrupulous care,
ready to sally forth, does not stop for
an umbrella, probably, but steps Jaunt
ily Into the street and makes no more
unfriendly comment on the weather than
"II ne fait pes beau ce matin." ("It Is
not fine this morning.")
"This is-tbe French point of view. Dis
comfort of ;.ny sort Is for them only tlie
negative of something desirable, and so
they keep their minds on what Is pleas
ing, naming it to define the absence of
it. La petite Helene and her little
brother Henri, who go to school in the
neighborhood, trot along in the rain,
the bonne at their heels carrying their
schoolbags. Henri wears a "capuchon"
a cape with the hood drawn up over
his head, Helene holds over her head a
minuscule umbrella which she tilts in
such fashion as to make the most of
the rain. Unrebuked by any threat of
somthlng awful to result if a drop of
water falls on them, both children dance
along in the wet, letting the drops fall
on their upturned faces and laughing in
glee as If the rain were another play
fellow. Even His Royal Highness the
baby does not miss his accustomed
outing on account of the weather. Nunu,
the nurse, will shorten the great ribbon
streamers on the white cap she wears,
and she pins up her dress to escape the
muddy streets; le bebe himself Is re
splendent In the laces and feathers which
are an Inseparable feature of the mag
nificent devotion which the French be
stow upon an Infant; he Is snugly tucked
in his go-cart, the hood la raised if it is
a heavy downpour anything less Is
thought to be good for him and off he
goes.
HUNTED TO DESERT.
Campaign of No Quarter in German
Southwest Africa.
Berlin Dispatch.
The official report of the government
concerning the report of the war
against the native rebels In German
Southwest Africa contains appalling de
tails of the campaign of extermination
which has been carried on by the Ger
man commander there in revenge for
the various reverses that the German
forces encountered in the earlier days
or the campaign against the blacks.
In the Initial campaign the rebels
numbered 6), 000 men, and outnumbered
greatly the Germans sent against them,
So soon as the German' forces were able
to assume the offensive a campaign of
"no quarter" was Inaugurated, and car
ried through. Death was the portion of
all rebels, and the German forces were
so disposed that their enemies were
soon driven into the desert where they
perished by the thousands of hunger
and thirst.
An immense area of the arid land is
now strewn with thousands of rotting
corpses and bones from which the
flesh has been devoured by birds and
beasts.
The terror-stricken fugitives dug
holes In the desert to a depth of 60
feet, using their hands, being without
tools. In the vain hope of finding water.
After hours and days of desperate dig
ging, which finally proved futile, they
laid down and died In the wallows
which they had created by their own
efforts.
It is estimated that 40.000 natives
perished In the desert, of whom many
were aged men, women and children
The campaign is declared to have been
without a parallel in point of ferocity
In recent years, and is likely to prove
a strong weapon for the Socialists at
the next meeting of the Relcnstag.
Deputy Arrested for Agitating.

member of the outlawed Parliament, was
arrested today for organizing meetings

was another outburst of enthusiasm.
which was taken up with a will this
time by those on the crowded decks of
the prlnzess Irene. Cabin and second
class passengers lined the rails, cheer

chiefs as their noted fellow-traveler
disappeared over the side. Huddled
forward on the decks of the steamer
were more than 1000 immigrants,
gathered from every corner of Europe.
The unusual scenes attending their
landing in their new home must have
made a deep impression on the for
eigners. As he set foot on the tug, Mr. Bryan
was fairly mobbed by the Nebraskans,

from other sections of the state. Each
was anxious to be the first to shake

this time the whistles on the craft
which swarmed about the Prlnzess
Irene were tooting mally. Flags were
dipping everywhere and from the
shores small craft put out in multiply
ing numbers.
Delighted to See Home-Folks.
Mr. Bryan was called upon for a
speech by the Nebraskans, but he con
fined himself to- telling them in a pure
ly personal vein how happy he was to
be home again and what a delight and
surprise it had been to him to find so
many of his "home-folks" on hand to
greet him. '
After being on the tug for more
than half an hour Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
were transferred to the Illini and
taken to the landing, where they went
ashore to spend the night at the home
of Mr. Nixon. Mr. Bryan relished this
break in the Journey before landing In
New York, because of the fatigue from
which he was suffering.

President's Wish Carries Weight.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 29. (Special.)
J. A. Tormey, superintendent of schools,
when asked for his opinion on phonetic
spelling, said:
"I do not think that the changes will be
generally adopted for some time, and they
certainly win not Be standardized till the
dictionaries and works of reference are
altered to the new spelling. The new
spelling cannot be taught in the schools
till the text-books are changed, and that
will not be for two or three years. I do
not think that the change ought to be
critlsised when It has been Indorsed by
the President and leaders of education
throughout the United States."

ALWAYS YIELDS TOO LATE.
Stolypin's Announcement Not Trust
ed by Liberal Leaders.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 29. The Lib
eral papers welcome the semi-official
statement made yesterday In behalf of
the government to the effect that it
would be a great mistake to suppose that
revolutionary terrorism will be met by
terrorism on the part of the government,
and adding that the Cabinet intends to
continue in the path of reform. But the
papers plainly manifest their distrust of
whether the Ministry will be able to mas
ter the situation by the "publication of the
ukase providing for the distribution of
land to the peasants.
Some of the papers, however, hall the
announcement as being a distinct conces
sion from the position which the govern
ment took twa. months ago when Premier
Goremykin returned, a nonpossumus to
this demand on the part of Parliament.
The Strana calls attention to the fatality
with which the government surrenders
always come too late, and says that had
the appanages been offered with the
crown lands when Parliament referred
the question It might have furnished the
basis for a reconciliation. At present the
paper doubts whether it will greatly affect
the situation.
The Ross la extols the ukase as being
the Emperor's gift of land to the people,
and for which the latter should be thank
ful, as the price of land is rapidly in
creasing, the Imperial income last year
from the portion to be distributed being
J2.S43.000.
The Seminovsky Regiment has received
a copy of a resolution adopted by the
League of the Russian people expressing
the hope that the regiment will not fail
to avenge the murder of General Mln.
ANTI-JEWISH PARTY FORMED
Would Deprive Jews of Rights and
Exclude Them From Army.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 29. A new
party strongly anti-Jewish In sentiment
and which will be designated the "popu
lar National party," has been formed.
Its position being midway between the
Centrists and the extreme Rightists. In
distinction from the Rightists, this new
party recognizes the legislative power
of the lower House of Parliament, but
favors the Russification of the various
nationalities In the Empire, opposing es
pecially the equalization of rights of the
Jews and advancing the novel propo
sition that Hebrews should be excluded
from the army, and instead subjected to
a compensatory poll tax. The party has
an organ In St. Petersburg, the Voice
of the People.
HELD UP IN HEART OF CAPITAL
Postoffice Collector Blinded With
Snuff by Robbers.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 29. Revolu
tionists effected a daring robbery of a
postoffice collector in the center of the
city today. Snuff was thrown in the eyes
of the collector by the robbers, who
seized his portfolio and escaped with it.
Fortunately there was but a few hun
dred dollars In the portfolio.
On account of excessive demands re
garding both compensation and politics
by the unemployed men to whom the
city furnished work on the reconstruc
tion qf the bridges which recently col
lapsed, the 1 municipality has decided to
discontinue for the present this relief
work.
