DEMAGOGUES TO BE FOILED
Strong Speech to Convention in Xevr
York Compares .Judicial Sys
tems and Results of United
States and Britain.
NEW YORK. May 13. President Taft
came ont tonight squarely against the
recall of the Judiciary. In his speech
before the conference on the reform of
the criminal law and procedure, the
President made hla attitude plain.
Most of his speech wss devoted to a
comparision, highly unfavorable to this
country, of the Judicial system of Great
Britain and the United States. He la
mented the tendency manifested, even
In England, but more particularly In
thla country, to put limitations on the
power of the Judge.
"And now," he said, "not content with
reducing the position of the Judge to
one something like that of the modera
tor In a religious assembly or the pre
siding officer of a political convention.
the Judge Is to be made still less lm
portant and to be put still more on trial
and to assume still more the character
of a defendant by a provision of law
under which. If his rulings and conduct
In court do not suit a small percentage
of the electors of his district, he may
be compelled to submit the question of
his continuance on the bench during the
term for which he was elected to an
1 ec tlon. .for-xacall. In which the reason
for his recall la to be Included in 204
words and his defense thereto to be
equally brief.
"It can hardly be said that this pro
posed change. If adopted, will give him
greater authority or power for usetul
ness or constitute a reform in the en
forcement of the criminal law jof this
country. It will certainly not diminish
the powers of the Judge and Increase
the Irresponsibility of counsel for the
defendant. Let ua hope that the strong
sense of humor of the American people,
which has so often saved them from
the dangers of demagog, will not
be lacking in respect of this "nostrum.' "
Lawlessness Our Shame.
"The statistics which show the crimes
which go unpunished In this country as
compared with those in England are
startling and humiliating to an Ameri
can who has any pride In his fellow
countrymen as a law-abiding and law
enforcing people. A study of the English
system will show that their procedure
and their guarantees in favor of the in
dividual as to Indictment, trial and con
viction and their provision for the se
curity of the liberty of the Individual
are exactly the same as ours, for we
derive ours from them.
"Where Is the great difference, then,
between the effectiveness of the two
systems? I believe it to exist in the
character, experience and learning of
the Judges, in the power which they
maintain and exercise in the course of
the trial for the saving of time and the
simplification of the Issues, and in the
respect and obedience given to their
intimations from the bench ss to the
proper behavior of counsel in the con
duct of the case. If there Is any other
reason for the difference, it cannot be
found in procedure.
"I wish to comment on the effect that
the change in the power of the Judge in
this country in the matter of the man
agement of the trial has had upon bis
ability to shorten the methods of coun
sel for the defense and their conduct in
the courtroom.

fear of Judicial tyranny- and an tin-

NAVARRO'S LIFE IN DANGER
Rebel Mob at Juarez Shouts for His
Life and Madero Takes Him to
' Safety Madero and Oroxco
Join Hands as Friends.'
JUAREZ, Mex.. May 13. The supreme
test, the clash between the military and
political authorities, was experienced
by the provisional government of Me
lco today and Provisional President
Francisco I. Madero tonight Is com
plete master of the situation. -
After a day rf many exciting- lnci
dents, during- which the lives of Madero
and his chiefs were in danger, General
Ororco, in a moment of passion, order
ing: the arrest of the little rebel leader
and demanding the -resignation of the
provisional cabinet, the capital of the
provisional government is quiet.
General Navarro, the defeated federal
commander, whose life was threatened
early today by angry mobs of insurgents,
was spirited awajr by Madero himself
to the- American side of the Rio Grande
and tonight is safely ensconced In the
home of friends In El Paso.
A plot deeply laid is suspected by the
re Dei leaders as the cause of the near-
riot in front of the Madero head
quarters today, and some- Maderolsts
freely venture the opinion that It was
a sinister scheme on the part of those
who are trying to break up the organi
sation of the revolution to foster the
opinion throughout Mexico that the
movement Is one of banditry and anar
chy. Madero, In a statement issued to
night, charged that General Orozco's
aotlons were Incited "by persons In
terested In bringing .about disunion
among us.
Madero Dares Men to Shoot.
Early today General Orozco called
on Madero and the two men talked
alone for some time. Suddenly their
voices were raised and the other rebel
political chiefs rushed into the room
only to find themselves held back 'by
some of Orozco's men. A throng of
soldiers had gathered outside the build
ing and Madero determined to appeal
to them. Six-shooters had been drawn
and rifles leveled, but Madero stood
bravely Jefore the crowd and. slap
ping his breast, shouted: "Shoot me.
shoot me. If you dare."
General Orozco was at his side. His
men ostensibly had been summoned
to take part in the coup cTetat, but. as
Madero stepped forth among them and
talked in his calm'? reassuring way, the
affection which has been rlr.Ani
among his men since the revolution
began crystallized in a mighty shout:
"Viva Madero."
Navarro Rushed to Safety.
- There are all sorts of stories about
the clash, .but at the bottom it is ap
parent that dissension among the mili
tary chiefs was the basic cause of the
disturbance. Colonel Villa was said to
have Insisted on General Navarro's life,
while General Orozco was said to have
been displeased with the naming of a
civilian as Minister of War.. Tonight
all is harmony and Madero has im
pressed upon General Orozco that the
choosing of a Cabinet and the manage
ment of a government is quite outside
the function of the military.
Apprehension for the safety of Gen
eral Navarro stirred General Madero
after the incident at the municipal
building and he determined, at the risk
of his own life, to save the brave fed-
era! commander. He was whisked
away in an automobile to where Gen- 1
eral Navarro has been staying since he

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
Or.. May 13. Special.) With the Uni
versity of Idaho practically a negli
gible quantity in the contest, as far as
point winning was concerned, the Uni
versity of Oregon today won the an
nual trl-state track meet from her old
rival, Washington University. The
final score was Oregon 72. .Washington
1, Idaho 17.
Early in the meet, Oregon took the
lead and although the contest ap
peared close until late in the after
noon, the Eugene men managed to
keep the Washington athletes safely
In second, place, throughout the con
test. Oregon took 10 first places.
Washington four and Idaho only two,
one of which, the mile relay, was con
ceded to her by Oregon, when Wash
ington refused to enter a team in that
race.
Light rain had made the track a
trifle heavy and the tm3 in most of
the races was slow. Only one record
was broken. Hawkins, of Oregon, in
the 220-yard hurdles, with Montgom

from the field and trimmed one-fifth

ished a good ten yards in the lead, in
50 3-5 seconds. Gish fouled Kay, of
Oregon, on the turn and a moment
later Kay fouled Gish by cutting in
front of him. For this' both Kay and
Gish were disqualified, and second
place fell to Condon, of Washington.
When the last event, the two-mile
race, was called, Oregon wis so clearly
the winner of the meet that Washing
ton made no effort to place in that
race. Idaho did not even make an
entry. Bowerman, of Washington, fell
out in the first lap and the race lay
between McClure, Huggins and Miller,
of Oregon. At the finish, McClure and '
Huggins, who had ,won their track
O's in the previous events, dropped
back and allowed Miller to finish first,
thus winning the coveted monogram
