Brisk Debate on Question of
Term or Study Before
Practice.
SEATTLE. Aug. :. Before the Amerl
n iB.nHarfnn thin evpninfi: Fred
.-4.tr Ronvmnn nf Seattle, discussed the
auettlon. "Are Our Laws Responsible
for the Increase of Violent Crime?"
Taking the crime of murder as thi
basis for the diseussison. he gave statla
.kAin that Qv hnmlcldes had oc
eurred during the past year, the largest
number In any other elvlliaed country,
save onlv Mexico aid Russia. At the
Nmt time, there were lewer convicuona
In the United States than in any other
He found two causes for the latter
fact, one the facility wltn wnicn in
nnoalit and delays an
the other, the sentiment of the American
public toward murderers. He showed
the general attitude of the people in the'
famous murder trials of Mrs. Rogers,
Nan Patterson and Mrs. Bradley, in all
of which the principle or mercy ana
leniency was astonishingly defended by
puhlic opinion. The remedies suggested
were the reversal of public opinion
through the schools and the press and
he death penalty In
cases of homicide, with the exception of
robbery and ourgiary.
Xeed Death Penalty.
In these two cases, however, he be
lieved the death penalty should be re
tained, because the people were willing
to enforce it. and the offenders, being
nrofesKlnnai criminals, required the ter
rors of death to deter them. In all other
cases the people are ao opposed to tna
death penalty that It was inadvisable,
he said, to retain It. When the prose
cution alms at the life of a man the
quality of mercy in our race Is too great
to overlook it.
A sharp debate was precipitated In the
session during the afternoon by tha re
port of Henry wade Rogers, dean ot tne
Yale University Law School, and chair
man of the committee on legal educa
tion, and admissions to the bar. He ad
vocated a four years' course for stu
dents of night schools. This brought out
a protest from many members who
deemed three years' study sufficient for
the granting of a degree, and that the
extra year was too severe on struggling
young men'. The recommendation was
adopted, however.
Reports on Laws.
The feature of the mornings session
was an address by George Turner, for
merly United States Senator from Wash
ington, the rest of the day being devoted
to the reports of standing committees on
Jurisprudence and law reform; Judicial
administration and remedial procedure:
legal education and admissions to the
bar: commercial law; international law;
grievances: obituaries: law reporting and
digesting: patent, trade-mark and copy
right law. Insurance law; taxation; uni
form state laws; and the report of tha
comparative law bureau.
In the afternoon the section of legal
education was addressed by Professor
Samuel Willlston, of the Harvard Law
School, on "The necessity for Idealism in
teaching law." and by Judge William
Schorield. of the Superior Court of Massa
chusetts, on "The relation of law schools
to the courts.'-' .
Law Schools Resign.
At -the meeting of the Association of
American Law Schools, held In connec
tion with the American Bar Association
convent on. resolutions were adopted lim
iting the membership In the association
to such schools as grant diplomas only
on the completion of a full three years'
course of study. The result of the
action was the resignation of the Bos
ton University Law School and the New
York University Law School, both of
which prescribe a three years' term, but
in special cases grant diplomas for
work done In two years. The school
in question were not willing to give up
this privilege and withdrew, the asso
ciation by vote accepting the resigna
tions. The annual address "of 'President
George W. Kirchwey. dean of the Col
umbia Law School, was read by Profes
sor F. M. Burdlck, the president not be
ing in attendance at the session. The
paper was on the subject, "American
Law and the American Law School."
David Starr Jordan, president of Stan
ford University. was the other speaker.
The annual election resulted as fol

part of them for any purpose." was
Mayor Rodgera' answer today to the
horde of circus hangers-on who besieged

presented themselves before the Mayor
for his signature they were told that they
must keep moving from house to house
and not open street stands. Other con
cerns and individuals who have been oc
cupying the streets contrary to law have
been ordered to move.

IMPROVE PRONE SERVICE
COMPANY TO START NEW SYS
TEM TO OREGON CITY.
Five Loops Have Been Constructed
and Every Operator Will Have
Line to Metropolis.
noir.nv riTY. Or.. Aug. 26. (Spe
cial i Th Pacific Telephone & Tele
graph Company will tomorrow esiauusu
new service between Oregon City and
Portland, localizing the system to the ex
that uheribers may obtain the de
sired number In either town by simply
notifying the central operator ana nom-
lng the receiver until connection i iuuc
with the party wanted.
The former custom has been to call
central, ask for long distance, and then
hang up the receiver until the long dis
tance operator communicates with the
neighboring city. This sometimes re
quires a considerable period, but here
after when a man in Oregon City wants
a number in Portland he asks for It in
exactly the same manner as though he
wanted a connection in his own town
The rate is 10 cents for the first two min
utes and 6 cents for each additional
minute. The former rate was 10 cents
for the first minute and 6 cents for
each additional minute.
The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
Company has constructed five loops to
Portland, so that every operator on tne
local switchboard will have a line to the
metropolis. These loops run directly Into
the local board at Portland. The new
line that has just been completed from
Portland through Oregon City to Salem
Is one of the heaviest on the Pacific
Coast, and follows a new route running
along the river and through Gladstone.
The old line through Clackamas station
is left intact, but may be removed if the
powder company at Clackamas discon
tinues operations there.
MAY COVER DEATH DITCH
Salem Mayor Plans to Prevent Fu
ture Drowning.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 26. (Special.) The
owners of the ditch in which the little
daughter of President and Mrs. Horoan.
of Willamette University, lost Its life a
few days ago and in which about 15
children have been drowned in the past
20 years, may be required to cover or
fence their property, if the plans of
Mayor Rodgers are carried out.
The ditch was dug in 1S57. before the
city was incorporated, and there is some
question as to just what the rights of the
company are. The city authorities are
now conducting an Investigation of the
matter and It is probable that as. soon as
the facts are ascertained the company
will be ordered to vacate certain streets
or to make the entire ditch within the
city limits safe. It is likely that the
courts will be called upon to settle some
of the knotty legal points involved before
the case is finally disposed of.
- The same company also owns another
ditch through the city and the authori
ties have Instituted an inquiry to deter
mine whether or not the company has the
right to maintain a ditch of this charac
ter for 15 years without using It.

CLACKAMAS IS ECONOMICAL
Comparative Statement Shows Its
Administration Favorably.
OREGON CITY. Or.. Aug. 26. (Spe
cial.) Few counties In Oregon are as
economically managed as Clackamas, ac
cording to a compilation Just made here.
While the large area of this county com
pels a heavy expenditure for roads and
bridges, the general expenses are kept
down to the minimum and comparison
with eight other counties In the state
shows that Clackamas has an adminis
tration that looks after the corners.
The disbursements for general pur
poses in 190" were $35,179.61. In Lane,
with about the same population, the cost
was $71,153.11, and In Umatilla, where
the population is about equal to Clacka
mas, $80,456.01 was expended. Marlon is
only a little larger than Clackamas, yet
her expenses in 1907 totaled $64,239.76.
and Washington, whose population Is not
equal to that of this county, has a record
of $39, ISO. The contrast is noticeable,
however, by comparison with Columbia,
with one-half of- the people of Clacka
mas. Columbia County expended $59.
028.27. and Malheur's disbursements
amounted to $56,444.55. though It has only
one-fourth of the population of Clacka
mas. Douglas has a less number of peo
ple, yet there was expended $52,956.25,
and in Polk, with one-third less popula
tion the cost of operation, exclusive of
highways, was $37,153.58.
