PLEA OF BIAS IS FAILURE Jodgr Hunt Rfnrs to Act on Affi davit Against Judge Gorman, and Judge Swing; Mill Not Allow Injunction. CINCINNATI. O.. March :o. DevVlop- ments emanating directly from tha harge of perjury against Oeorge B. Cox. In the common pleaa court here came fast today and in each Instance the attorneys for Cox came out second best, at least temporarily. From tha time when Presiding Judge Hunt refused to act on an affidavit declaring Judge Frank Gorman "biased and prejudiced" until Judge Swing ended by reruslng to grant an injunc tion against Judge Gorman's trying tha case, there waa not. a quiet moment. In handing down his decision. Judge Hunt said tha atatusa providing for tha filing of a prejudice affidavit to swear a Judge off tha bench Is so framed that It appllea to other coun- Irs In Ohio, but not to Hamilton conn. 4 Judge Hunt recommended that If here was any doubt about the decision a mandamus proceeding against him. to ba decided by tha upper courts, would Ilia the matter. Accordingly, tha mandamus proceed ing waa filed In Judge Swing's court. and a hearing set for Saturday. Hardly had this news trickled from tha court house before Judge Gorman ordered Georg B. Cox before him to plead to he Indictment of perjury. The fcher- lffs office reported that Cox soon would be la court. Tha prosecutor, after waiting half an hour, aent a man for Cox. Thla man met Sheriff Cooper, who told him Cox had been notified by telephone to ap nr. and they turned back to tha court honse. Another delay followed and Judge Gorman Instructed Sheriff Cooper to go fter the defendant In person. Before he Sheriff could reach Cox a office, the latter, with an attorney, had departed for the courthouse. Cox's attorneys of fered a motion to quash the indictment and gave notice of their Intention to le a plea In abatement. Judge uor- man set the hearing on tha motion for tomorrow morning. Thereupon the Cox attorneys at tempted to gain further delay by filing n application In the circuit court lor temporary Injunction to restrain udge Gorman from hearing any phase of the case, pending a decision on the mandamus suit, by which they sought o obtain a ruling aa to whether Gor man could be sworn off the bench for alleged "blaa and prejudice. The Injunction proceedings were riught before Judge Swing, who de led the application. DIRECT LAWMAKING IS BAD (Contln'id rrom f1rt rsse.l he overthrow of the whole system of representstive government? Political nd social reformers alike are prone to dvocate the overthrow of a system rather than the more difficult tssk of selecting fit agents to conduct the sys- em and of the bringing of unjust rewards tn account. What are Judges but Impartial rhltrators. to whom any one of us may be compelled at any moment to urn for protection oi lire, nmo or property? What will become of that rotection If our system oi govern ment should subject them to the rage of tha mob. when they aasert the su- remacy of the law In the fare of un just clamor? Who of us will be sate In all that wa hold dear If our Judges ran only retain their places by con- ulting the passing fever or tha crowd Instesd of the laws of tha land? A glib, cheap answer la made by the lvocatea of purely democratic govern ment when objection Is made to their schemes. Tou do not trust tha people, they say. On the contrary. It Is they ho do not trust the people. lour wnoie programme la based on tha assumption hat the people are unfit or unable to chooee honest and faithful representatives "Under such a system tha people aban- all eelf-reetraint and the necessity of svber acceod thought, feastd. on Accu rate Information and thorough discus sion, before condemning the servants." The Attorney-General strongly in dorsed Mr. Taft's plan for reciprocity with Canada. He pointed out that the gross tonnage of American mercantile marine for the year 109, registered at all Atlantic and Gulf ports, was 3.50U.3M tons, and at the lake ports 2,.1J.4J1 tons. "Only a vexatious revenue tariff bur dens the exchange of trade and com merce bettyen us," he said. "The ag gregate amount of Canadian products Is not large. The amount of duties collected by ua upon them Is Inconsiderable; the amount collected by Canada upon our exports to her shores is trivial. Her labor is of the same chacarter as ours. No principle of protection, to our home Industry Is. therefore, involved In each being given the most freedom of trade and commerce between the unitea tiaies and Canada. "The daya of Isolated NstionsJ life are past. We cannot longer look at our next door neighbors as If they were strangers. Their Interests are In large measi bound up with ours. In the continued and closer union of the Anglo-Saxon peoples lies the world's best hope for Its continued prosperity. SELLING'S GOAL $20,000 SmsCHIPTIOXS TO CHINESE FAMINE ITND SLOW.

EDUCATOR DEFENDS ACTION He Declares Assault or I'lricli to Hare Been Unprovoked Carpen ter Says He Saw Negro Peek ing: Through Keyhole. NEW YORK. March 20. Injuries re ceived last night by Booker T. Wash ington prevented the negro educator from appearing tn court today and post ponement of the charges against Albert Ulrich, the carpenter arrested la, mgnt on .Washington's complaint of felonious assault, was taken until tomorrow. Ulrich was detained in I150O bail. Many leading men offered aid and sympathy today to Washington, whos- bandaged head is mending fairly well. Dr. Washington's secretary said It was doubtful If he could appear In court to morrow, when the case la scheduled to be tried. Many sympathetic telegrams from every section of the United States, and telephone calls were received by Dr. Washington, while many persons called at the hotel, according to his Ulrich declared today that he was acting within his rights when he chased the negro for several blocks, and Inflicted a beating. "I was Ignorant that the fellow waa Booker T. Washington," sold Ulrich in an interview, "but my wife complained to me that she had met him in the hall way of our flat house in West Sixty third street, and told me of the man's remarks. Naturally I was Incensed." Negro Asserts Innocence. Mr. Washington, who waa Sent to Flower Hospital, where 16 stitches were taken In his scalp, asserted that his mission to that neighborhood was per fectly legitimate and that he had been made the Innocent vlcUm of an atro cloua assault. Attorney Smith, who represented Mr. Washington, told Magistrate Cornell that his client had 11 wounds, and that one of the wounds had caused a seri ous hemorrhage of the ear. A short affidavit was then made by Policeman Tierney, who brought Ulrich to court, and on this the prisoner was held in 11500 ball. A bond was fur nished for Ulrlch's appearance In court and he was released. President Seth Low. of the board of trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, today gave out a statement bearing on the assault on Washington. Mr. Low's statement was practically the same as the one made by Mr. Washington. In conclusion, he said: "The trustees of the Tuskegee Insti tute have absolute confidence in Dr. Washington and they will give him whatever support and aid he needs." STRAIGHT TICKET TABOO California Has Ballot Law Which Makes Voters Work. SACRAMENTO. Cal., March 3fc Gover nor Johnewn signed today the Boynton Australian ballot bill, providing for a ballot with no party Insignia. By the terms of the bill the party affiliation of each candidate, except Judges and the superintendent of public Instruction, Is placed after his name on the ballot, and nowhere else. This makes It Impossible to vote the so-called "straight ticket," and compels the elector to make hls mark opposite the name of every candidate for whom he desires to vote. Names of candidates for city offices and for the legislature appear on the bal lnt in numerical order. In all other In stances where more than one Assembly district Is Involved, they appear alpha betically In the district having the lowest numerical designation and rotate in suc ceeding districts. $90,000 BONDS SUBSCRIBED Chchalis & Cowllts Railway to Be gin Work at Once.

MYERS NOT INTERESTED Scandinavian-American' Bank Had -o Dealings With Promoter. In nubliohing a llet of the banking in stitutions in Portland and vicinity or ganized by F. N.

A HEALTHY, HAPPY OLD AGE May be promoted by those who gently cleanse the system, now and then, when in need of a laxative remedy, by taking a deseitspoonful of the ever refreshing, wholesome and tnily beneficial Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, which is the only family Iajcative generally ap proved by the most eminent phy sicians, because it acts in a natural, strengthening way and warms and tones up the internal organs without weakening them. It is equally benefi ficial for the very young and the mid dle aged, as it is always efficient and free from all harmful ingredients. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine, bear ing the name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package. Myers not only had nothing whatever to do with organizing the Scandinavian American Bank but this institution at no time had any business relations of any kind with Myers. The Scandinavian-American Bank was organized early in January, 190S, by C. F. Hendrickaen, president of the institu tion, and his associates. The bank has? a capital stock of $100,000 with deposits of $75O.0. It is in a. flourishing con dition and its affaire are officered by rep resentative and substantial business men. Aside irom the president, the officers are: Vice-president, Sylvester Petersen; second vice-president, Knut Bckman; cashier. Anton Bckern. The board of directors Is made up of these gentle men.

"He wields wonderful Influence. If the rank and file of voters have their way and they have learned to do so, their selection will be Roose velt or Senator La Follette, of Wiscon sin, for the Presidential nominee. If the' voters do not have their way and the Federal machine runs over them they will be heard from later." "The wave of progressive Democracy is strong enough to control both of the great political parties.
