"We found the chief cause of the
trouble in the presence and activitj
of several persons who seem to have
entirely lost a proper perspective.
These appear to exaggerate trivial
matters that should be normally over
looked. If something happens that
should be corrected they fail to -go to
the superintendent to see if it can
not be righted, but rather, they
foment trouble by qpmplalnts to their
fellows. They lack loyalty to the In

conditions that are either trivial or

Formal action on the report of the

WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 23.
Chief Justice Taft of th United States
supreme court, in an address at to
day's session of the national confer
ence of bar associations, expressed
the opinion that the country today
has about all the lawyers it needs.
The chief justice, discussing the
proposal of the American Bar asso
ciation that future applicants for ad
mission to the bar be required to
have two years' college training in
addition to a three-year course in
law BChool, declared not only his ap
proval of this plan, but said he hoped
in th future a complete college
course. Instead of two years, would
be required of all applicants.
As a prelude to his address the chief
Justice explained that it was essen
tial that his remarks be confined
solely to legal education, and that it
was his hope that congress would
take no offense as long as he did not
wander from judicial discussion. ,
Jest Provokes Laughter.
"His reference to the recent criti
cism in congress of members of the,
United States supreme court for their
utterances brought laughter from the
delegates.
"If a man cannot obtain the prepa
ration which an average man would
have to have to be a lawyer," said Mr.
Taft, "then he should seek some other
avenue of livelihood. We have all the
lawyers we need now and there is
likely to be no dearth of thorn."
Klihu Root of New York, speaking
at the morning session of the confer
ence, in behalf of the American Bar
association, denounced conditions, "he
eaid, made possible by the projection
Into the ranks of the legal profes
sion men incapable of performing the
duties cf a lawyer, and, asked support
of the recommendation of the associa
tion that at least a two years' college
course be required of all law school
graduates.
Governor Ralston of Indiana de
clared that such a movement would
smack of a tragedy, to say to a
worthy and ambitious youth that he
has the ability to do the work of a
law school, but that he cannot get a
law school education because he has
not had two .years' training in col
lege, or that he cannot qualify him
self for the bar for the same reason.
Lincoln's Education Cited.
J. N. Frierson, dean of the "law
Bchool of the University of South
Carolina, lauded those who had suc
ceeded in obtaining admission to the
bar without college training, and
Illustrating his contention that the
proposal of the American Bar asso
ciation "was unjust and uncalled for,"
pointed to Lincoln and other notable
leaders who "never saw the inside of
a college."

General Suggests Use of Reserve
and Xop-Commissioned Officers
as Student Instructors.
Whether Plan Is Intended to Keep
Mind Off Food or Men From
Cabarets Not Known.
PRINCETON, Feb. 17. (Special.)
University authorities at Princeton
have authorized the institution of a
student orchestra in the university
(lining halls. This orchestra will ro
tate, playing in freshman, sophomore
a.nd upper class commons two nights
a week. Inquiries have failed to di
vulge the real reason for the orches
tra. The verdict at the office of the
controller of the university was:
wen, we thought it would be a
good thing." When asked whether it
was for the purpose of keeping the
boys away from the cabarets of New
York and Philadelphia the powers
that be smiled and admitted it might
help to do that.
The programmes of the orchestra
will include for the most part popu
lar music, but classical selections
will also be inserted, and there is a
rumor afloat the orchestra is propa
ganda on the part of the university
music committee to elevate the taste
of the modern undergraduate by a
process of gradual evolution, reach
ing the point, some years in the fu
ture, perhaps, where their meals will
be ushered In with the wedding
march from "Lohengrin" or the "Ride
of the Valkyries" and the dessert will
be concluded with a Beethoven so
nata and the melody in F.
Howard Opie, known as the "king
of the commons," who has the oper
ation of the dining halls in charge,
could not be found today and the
captain of waiters suggested that
perhaps he was in New York investi
gating the advisability of instituting
classical dancing with the meals" has
a soothing effect on the digestion of
the students.
Prime movers in this renaissance tf
music are members of the freshman
class and the orchestra is ntirely
composed of first-year men. Not to
be outdone, men who are working
their way through college by acting
as student waiters for a part of the
time have organized a second orches
tra, which will also play in all three
dining halls in the course of a week.
The organization that gets the least
number of vegetable bouquets wins
the game.
General approval of the plan has
been registered, except that some of
the students desire more mirsic. In
accordance with the general desire of
the university to keep men in town
over the week end it is probable a
special programme will be prepared
for Sunday.
NEGRESSES GET DAMAGE
(Cnntiimiccl From First Pagi.)
UHenuent. lhe superintendent, says
tho report, "would undoubtedly be
within his legal rights if he attempted
physically to eject the men discharged,
but we do not believe he should be
called on to do this.
"As to Superintendent and Mrs.
Myers, against whom strong personal
feeling was shown by the complain
ants, we do not find that the trouble
was Justly attributable to fault or
failure on their part. Mr. Myers is
quick in his movements and some
what abrupt in his speech, and per
sons looking for occasion for fault
finding, as were some of these in
mates, might attribute to his manner
a wrongful motive, but in our opinion
this is a mlsjudgment.
Criticism Held Not Justified.
"Most of the witnesses thought his
spirit to be kindly and 'sympathetic.
Mr. Myers" natural tendency to work
rapidly has been accentuated by the
fact that as organizer and superin
tendent of a new institution and as
principal instructor in the shop work
he has more work to do than should
ordinarily be required of one man.
We think that he has, in fact, shown
great self-restraint and patience
under circumstances that have been
very difficult and trying.
"We find, no justification, either,
for the criticism of Mrs. Myers. She
has performed her duties as matron
efficiently and with consideration and
kindliness towards the residents.
Miss Ruth Myers, the daughter, is
eyes to the superintendent and ma
tron in innumebable ways, and the
striking fact in the hearing was that
even the bitterest of the critics had
nothing but kind words for the effi
ciency and helpfulness of Miss Ruth.
Character Test Applied.
"We are of the opinion that the fact
of blindness does not in itself dis
suade any American for superintend
ency. The testimony was that many
successful heads of other institutions
are blind men. The real test is the
character and ability of the men.
"Mr. Myers is, in our judgment
entitled to great credit. He has sup-

Message to Mississippi Legislature
Meets With Rebuff In Resolu
tion of Representative.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 23. A
new "economic" principle" to govern
peace-time maintenance of all
branches of the army regulars, na
tional guard or organized reserves
was laid today by General Pershing
before the house sub-committee on
army appropriations. General Per
shing's statement did not deal with
specific questions as to the strength
of the regular army during the coming-
fiscal year, the officer saying,
however, that "in view of a possible
reduction" in army strength consid
eration of the "development of a na
tional aimy from an economical
standpoint" became especially import
ant. The general's statement concluded
the hearings of the committee and it
is expected to be prepared to submit
its report In about a week.
Economy Plan Set Forth.
After pointing out that the regular
army was relatively small at pres
ent" and limited in numbers first by
tne existing army organization act
and later by appropriation acts. Gen
eral Pershing said that the following
economic principle might be stated as
to the military organization the coun
try should maintain:
"In organizing the peace establish
ment no unit should be maintained in
a more expensive category if it can be
sately and advantageously maintained
in a less expensive category and mob
ilized therefrom in time to meet the
requirements of an emergency."
The officer said, that the cost of
each group of the new army was dif
ferent, the regulars being more costly
than the national guard, which,
turn, costs more than the organized
reserves. In explanation of this, he
added that "it would, of course, be
understood that regular army organ
izations must be maintained for duty
in foreign garrisons, upon the Mex
ican border, for emergency service
at home, for expeditionary purposes
abroad and for all other duties which
in the nature of things could not be
performed by the citizen soldiers."
Application of this principle, he
said, "would lay the foundation for a
military organization at minimum
cost"
Training System Essential. .
A second conclusion which he
stated was as follows:
"The primary mission of the regu
lar personnel within the United
States is to develop the national
guard and the organised reserves and
to establish a national training sys
tem." ,
In this connection, he said that
while "the main obstacle" to applica
tion of this principle was that mil
itary training in the United States "is
entirely voluntary," increasing inter
est was manifested in the national';
guard and the reserve, as well as in
the military training camps.
Still another principle he laid
down was as follows:
"In training the citizen army we
should employ as many reserve offi
cers and non-commissionea oincers
possible as student instructors
and staff personnel in our training
camps and other training establish
ments.
In relation to this lie stated that
full development of the system ha
was broadly picturing cannot be
carried out by the regular army
alone, even at its present size, nor
is it advisable that all instruction
be given by regular personnel."
As to the future functions of the
regular army, he laid down this
principle:
"That portion of the regular army
not required for "general overhead
purposes shall be formed Into two

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23. Spe-
cial.) "Race distinction," as practiced
in an exclusive eating house for col

Gussie Meyer, the - proprietor, the
sum of $200 if she does not appeal
from a decision handed down by
Police Judge Edgar in Berkeley. She
has ten days In which to make up her
mind to either pay or appeal.
Shortly before Christmas Mrs.
Meyer was accused of refusing to
serve Miss Beulah Igy and Miss

ers employed at 2536 Bancroft way,
Berkeley, an -establishment that also
caters . to college women. The two
hairdressers appeared for luncheon at
the "Sandwich shop"- at 2440 Bancroft
way, declaring that if students did
not object to them as hairdressers
they should have no objection to eat
ing lunch with them.
Mrs. Meyer said she told them there
were not two vacant seats together
in the establishment, and that it
would be Impossible to wait upon
them.

leaving the amount of injury to the
discretion of the court. Under the
statute upon which -the suit was
based the damage Is $100, and Judge
Edgar allowed the limit to each
plaintiff.
