Crowds Pav Tribute
Long before the bronze casket
reached th little red brick place
of worship, nestled in a triangle
where New York avenue meets II
street in the downtown district,
reverent crowds bad gathered tj
pay tribute to the commoner.
While they waited, another
group had filed before his bier
and looked upon his serene fea
tures as he lay for a littlo time in
an undertaking parlor in another
part of the city.
Special details of police were
placed about the church to divert
traffic and to cuide the continued
tlow procession that tramped in at
the door and past the silent figure
at the altar. Half of the top of

semi-finals of the women's singles
in the Seabright invitation tennis
tournament. The California girl
and national champion took only
26 minutes to beat her rUal by

honors.
The champion opened with a
whirlwind attack that gave her
the first four games in quick or
der. She was momentarily check

fifth game on her own service but
the Berkeley girl quickly regained
her stride and took the next eight
games in a row.
Two other Californians battled

COMMONER

Idaho Senator Sees Ambi
tious and Presumptive
Effect To Establish Ju
dicial Tyranny.
Borne, Idaho, July 30. A more
ainbiiioue and prosuinpUous effort
to estaolish judicial despotism was
never conceived than the interna
tional court operating under the
league of nations, which America
is being uied to join, Senator
Borah told Boise laborers at a
meeting at the labor temple here
last night. The chairman of the
toreign relations committee of the
senate said he felt eo strongly on
the matter that if I had to tend or
my resignation in tho senate or
vote for this court o it now
stands, It voutdn'c take me one
minute to resign.
"I believe this court Is danger
ous. Tho men urging it are not
telling you the truth about it. If
they were I would leave it to the
peonlc for a vote without opening
my mouth.
"I do not want It thought that
I am opposed to a world court in
general. I have Deen advocating
a court for several years, A world
court could he created which it
would be safe for us to Join, and
which would help promote the
cause of peace. I do intend to
bring up changes in the present
plan when It comes before the
senate I means the plan of join
ing tho league's court with the
Harding-Hughes reservations.
"Labor feels that courtu should
not make thoir own laws. Some:
court now establish principles of
Jaw out or the statutes. It Is
planned to create a court to ren
der decisions while operating un
der law.
"In tho proposed court, you do
not elect the judges, you cannot
recall them; you cannot appeal
from their decisions. This is prac
tically judicial despotism. Here
would be eleven men, the judicial
body of tho world, who may ren
der decisions with no law to gov
ern them. A more ambitious and
prpsumptloufl effort to establish
judicial despotism was never con
ceived.

The story says:
"At the time of his death Mr.
Bryan had started on the frame
work of his recollections. He had
intended to devote to the writing
of this chronicle of American life
for the past half century, the rest
of the summer and fall, and in fact
all the time up to his leaving for
the Holy Land in February of
1926.
'He had dictated in the rough

the first drafts of six or seven
chapters of the memoirs. Thomp

The proclamation follows:

commoner is gone. Our nation ha
lost a great statesman. The com
mon people have lost their great
leader. No more will his tifver

"His life among ua for over 80
years was one ot Inspiration and

commoner's childhood and youth,

he was secretary of state and one

'I went with the sheriff of

a house where a Mexican and two
women were living to make a
search for liquor. The Mexican
had a gun. I asked him If he were

replied that he was not I told him
that he had no right to have the
gun. He also eald it was not hla

owned the gun I would not take
it. He told me to take It along be

As the reporters described the

of nine. In the tenth, the final
round, Roberts, still groggy, de
cided to endure the prescribed
three minutes through one pro

balked In yorbal and physical ef
forts to separate the men, finally
gave Roberts a terrific tug. The
Oakland battler went whirling
through the air nnd landed outside
the ring. The referee then count

bruised made no effort to climb
bark.
The hall was In uproar. Fans
rushed the ring. Somebody threw
a bucket of water at Roberts in an
effort to revive him, but It landed
on the referee. Two State boxing
inspectors ruled that It was a valid
knockout, and will so report to the
