Against Supremacy ' law.
Capric Is Substitute.
COLrVBIA. a C Jan. IS. AM on BL
rarksr. of New Terk. tmocratla nom
ine for President In 1)04. delivered an
address In thta city lonlg-ht befora the.
South Carolina Bar Association, In
which ht opposed tha recall of tha
Judiciary and took exception to soma
of the rrltlclsma of tha bench mada ta
tha past by Mr. Roosavelt. Ha aJd ta
part:
1 f pat Into practice and carried ta
Its lnerttable conclusion. recall of
Jodtres Is the substitution of popular
opinion for les-at procedure. It Is Jus
ticeor Injustice meted out. not ac
cording; to tha law of the land, but ac
cording- to supposed public sentiment.
"Recall of judarea spells In tha ulti
mate result a recall of the Judicial sys
tera and tha substitution of a vlgilaDC
committee.
Blass Pat aa Resseeelt.
"Never before. I think. In tha his
tory of clrlltxatlon haa any blind
leader of the blind advocated aa pro
arresslTe a return of tha chaotic condi
tions as tha administration of Justice
by caprice rather than by the rules of
Jaw.
-The recall of Judges, however, la but
the first step towards the cherished
coal of the leaders of the movement
against tba Judiciary. Tha ultimate
aim la the recall of tha power of tha
court to declare void such legisla
tive acta as are forbidden by the con
stitutions, state and Federal.
-What haa happened of lata to lead
so many to favor stripping; tba mem
bers of tha Judiciary of their Independ
ence and shearing; them of tha power
to enforce the Constitution? Surely
the Judicial standard baa Dot been
lowered of late. The causa of tha
change In public sentiment, then. Is
not to be found In the lowering; of
tbe Judicial standard. It had lta ba
jrtnnins; during; tha Incumbency of tha
lata President. Mora combinations to
restrain trade and prevent competition
came Into existence during; his Incum
bency of the of flee than In all eur
previous history.
Berdea Deftly Shifted.
"When the protests of tha people
against tba rising- tide of blither prices
began to be beard, ha sought with his
accustomed political shrewdness to
shift the responsibility from the shoul
ders of bis party. To that end be In
veighed against tha Impotancy of tha
law and tha well-meaning; but fonall-lied-of-mind
Judges, laying tha respon
sibility of our evil state to tha law
and Its ministers.
"Was ever accusation mora unjust?
Whence came tha special privileges
against which protest la raised? From
the court? No. not in a single instance.
They cam by statutes passed by leg
islative bodies and In most Instances
approved by chief executives.
"The reports which came to lilra of
tha effect of his campaign apaJnst tha
Judiciary enabled blm to go out of
office fully appreciating- that, through
!u skill, his administration and his par
ty bad escaped, for a time at least, the
responsibility which waa Justly theirs.
What his present motive may be we
need not conjecture.
Battle Witt Aa-alaat Law.
"His grievance la that the decisions
are ln such flagrant and direct contra
diction to the spirit and need of the
times. It means to his multitude of
readers that courts should decide not
as the people bave demanded In their
Constitution, but according to the no
tion of himself and his followers as to
the needs of the times.
"Through his leadership, while Pres
ident and since, a large and uninformed
following haa been recruited through
out the United States, who are waging,
many of them unconsciously, a battle
against the supremacy of the law.
"Tbe uninformed think, because they
have been deceived, that the courts
are In effect vetoing legislation that
the people want, not that the courts
are merely setting aside enactments
that the people bave forbidden the leg
islative department of the Oovernment
to pass. If they should be made to
understand the whole truth before It
Is too late, the movement. In form
against the Judiciary, but In reality
against lta power to bold in check the
would-be usurpers of power not grant
ed by the people, will end."

President's Board Is Similarly Ig
no red In Preparation of Sched
ule K Debate Will Begin
In noose Today.
WASHINGTON; Jan. S5- The tariff
revision debate of the Sixty-second
Congress will begin tomorrow In the
Houses when Representative Palmer,
of Pennsylvania, will open the argu
ment In favor of the steel and Iron
schedule reported today by Chairman
Underwood of the ways and means
committee.
Tha attitude of ttw Republicans to
ward the Democratic revision pro
gramme waa indicated at too ay a meet
ing of the committee, when Repreeen
tatlve Payne moved that consideration
of tha Iron and steel schedule be d
fe--red until a report had been received
from the tariff board. This waa lost
by a atrlct party vote. The Republl
cans Indicated there would be no Re
ibllcan substitute for the Democratic
bill, but a long string of amendments
would be offered. '
That the Democrats have virtually
comnlcted the wool schedule was dis
closed when Representative Payne
moved that schedule K. as drawn by
Mr. Underwood and his colleagues, be
re-drafted to conform with the report
of the tariff board, submitted In De
cember. This action waa lost, also by
a straight party vole
Senator Sraoot la preparing a bill
along the lines of the tariff board
report.
Following the passage of the steel
bill, the ways and means committee
will Introduce tbe chemical and then
the sugar schedules. These are nearly
ready for a Democratic caucus. The
cotton schedule will be taken up next.
Chairman Underwood estlmatea these
will be all that can be handled at this
session, but If there Is time for more
the agricultural schedule will be con
sidered. ISSUES ARE DELICATE
FRANCE AND ITALY AGREE EX.

What to Do With Turkish Prisoners,

sies Diplomats.
ROME. Jan. 35- France and Italy, it
Is understood, are agreed as to the
principle In the settlement of the
Manouba affair. Involving the arrest of
members of the Red Crescent Society
while passengers on the French steam
er Manouba, en route to Tunis.
The negotiations, which still con
tinue, however, between Marquis dl
San Glullano. the Italian Foreign Min
uter, and M. Karrere, French Ambas
sador to Italy, are directed towards
seeking a formula which, while fully
satisfying France, will at the same
time safeguard tbe dignity of Italy.
France demands that the matter be
restored to the status quo ante, after
which the differences can be referred
to The Hague. On this point Italy Is
confronted by two questions: First, if
the Turks are really what they claim
to be, ought Italy simply to release
them, or hand them over to FranceT
Second. In the event that some of the
Turkish prisoners prove not to be phy
sicians or medical attendants, but bel
ligerents, ought Italy to require guar
antees, if she hands them over to
France, that they will not be allowed
to reach Turkish camps?
These are questions, it Is urged, of
an extremely delicate nature, requir
ing much tact, but It Is confidently ex
pected that a full agreement will be
reached tomorrow or Saturday.

AGREEMENT IS INDICATED
Clerk for Subsidiary Concern Identi
fies Statistics Compiled Under
His Direction Combine
Busy In East.
CHICUOO, Jan. 15. Counsel for the
Government aprang a surprise en the
defense In the packers' trial today
when they produced 25 original weekly
summary margin sheets for the ship
ments made by the National Packing
Company in the Eastern territory, be
tween January and August .1110.
Stelner O. Langher, margin clerk for
the Hammond Packing Company, a
subsidiary of the National Packing
Company, who was on the stand all
day and Identified the sheets aa having
been compiled under his direction, and
Attorney Pierce Butler immediately of
fered them in evidence.
Record of Marartas Kept.
The sheets showed the total pounds
of meat shipped each week from the
different plants of the National Pack
ing Company, together with the "work
ing" and "closed" margins, terms used
by the packers for the average test
cost and selling price of the product.
The Government contends that these
weekly margin sheets were sent to
the officers of the company in Chicago
every Monday and used at the direc
tors' meetings of the National Packing
Company each Tuesday afternoon.
when the alleged agreements In regard
to the shipments and margins were
made for the current week.
It Is the theory of Attorney Butler,
of the Government's legal forces, that
the alleged combination in recent years
centered actively on territory 'A.'
which embraced cities north of the
Ohio and east of the Mississippi River,
into which the packers shipped 76 per
cent of their output of fresh beef.
Trade Centered la East.
The weekly summary margin sheets
showed that In the first eight months
of 1110 the National Packing Company
shipped 6.000,000 pounds of beef a week
into this Eastern territory.
In several other parts of the coun
try, especially the West and South, no
agreement existed In regard to the
margins and shipments except in a few
large cities, according to the informs
tlon obtained by the prosecution.
Langher read a list of cities, which
Included New Orleans, St. Louis and
Spokane, where no meat was shipped
by the National Packing Company. He
could not explain why the company
kept out of those cities.

Park and Madison Streets Proposed
by Plan Association.
That the County Court and Portland
Library Association reconsider its ac
tion in purchasing the block bounded
by Tenth, Eleventh, Yamhill and Tay
lor streets, for the site of a new
library, and purchase one of the blocks
at the corner of Park and Madison
streets, was the request made in a
resolution passed by the Greater Port
land Plans Association at Its meeting
In the convention hall of the Commer
cial Club last night. The resolution
will be formally presented to both the
library association and the County
Court. The reason for asking the
change is that the new library may
conform to the Bennett plans for a
city beautiful. It waa pointed out that
the block chosen for the library 'Is
valued at $158,660. and that none of
the blocks recommended, at the corner
