DELAYS IN JUSTICE. In an address to the National Municipal league at Pittsburg, Attorney General Bonaparte touched on the most vital subject confronting the American people the administration of justice. There has been a marked movement all over the country in regard to this subject and a recent and conspicuous example of its expression has been Taft's speech before a bar association in Virginia in which he called attention not only to the delay of the courts but lo the responsibility of the American people for the administration of law p.s affected by service on juries. He pointed out the condition that every one knows, that the wealthy man who can afford to employ counsel for his defense can- often and Indeed in most cases, get rid of the penalties for wrong doing on purely
technical grounds and emphasized the! fact that the poor man Is affected byj the delays of the machinery of the . .... i
law wneiner ne is a derenaant or plaintiff. This subject was touched on at some length in the resolutions of the American Bar association and this organization is representative of the best of the legal profession in America. The Thaw trial if it served no other purpose than arousing the public conscience on this subject was productive of good, if it had cost twice the enormous amount of time and money expended. The affair of the RuefSchmltz trial in San Francisco Is a remarkable example of the number of technicalities which can be interposed in court proceedings. It may be urged that these delays and ! technicalities Bre a part of the machinery which has been placed in procedure to guard against the punishment of innocent men. It often seems to tbV long suffering public that the very opposite is true. It is said on good authority that three out of four is the average of persons convicted in the continental courts while here in America the average Is one in thirty-eight. Verily. It seems that in America the grafter and the boodler is guaranteed liberty for hia proceedings. And so it is that the following words from the Attorney General of the United States so appropriate at this time.
me legitimate problems of the
criminal law, he said, are two, first, to
find out when and by whom the peo
ple s will ha.3 been disobeyed, and second, to so deal with the one guilty of such disobedience that others and ordinarily himself ns well, may be taught to obey in future. "As an instrument to these ends," he then declared, "I think American criminal law today has very serious defects, In fact, that in large measure it fails of its purpose. "A principal cause of this failure, to my mind," he continued, "is its anxiety to guard against a danger which was once very serious, but which has now become almost chimerical, the danger lest men really innocent be convicted of crime." He asserted that "the risk that any man trying in good faith to obey the law shall be punished as a criminal is almost inconceivably small. I question," he added, "whether It is one hundredth part as great as the risk he runs nf hoi no- vm.

a perfunctory routine which goes on undisturbed. The indictments which these bodies return are in many cases so clumsy and so altogether absurd, that it is hard indeed often for the courts to take them seriously. Altogether the citizen who reflects on the situation sees the clumsiness of our legal apparatus but that is as far as it will go until some grave miscarriage of justice comes along to quicken the public indignation to the white heat tf doing something.
CROKER HOT NOW BOSS OF TIGER Finds Conditions Different in Tammany Organization On His Return. MURPHY IS IN CONTROL
CROKER HAS LOST NEARLY ALL OF HIS INFLUENCE IN GOTHAM "OLD GUARD" HAS BEEN DEPOSED.
New York, Nov. 2. Some Tammany leaders are saying that Richard Croker's coming to New York today on the Lusitanla, is causing no excitement in Tammany hall. Before he sailed last week he announced that his visit would have no political significance. The statement was literally true. They say there is little probability that he could make his visit politically significant if he .tried. He will find a new Tammany, though not necessarily a better one. The Croker "Old Guard" or what remains of it has lost nearly all its influence in the organization, and another generation of Tammany men is in control. It was very different when Croker returned to New York in IRJ7. after ha
had gfven up the leadership and allow
ed John C. Sheehan to pose as his successor. At that tbime the "Old Guard" w;as as powerful as ever, and Croker dictated the nominatin of Judge Robert A. Van Wyck for mayor, although he professed to be out of politics. When Judge Van Wyck was elected Croker promptly stripped Sheehan of his "yellow Jacket," and, with the aid of the "Guard." took complete possession of the city government. The only devoted follower of Croker who now has great power In the Tammany organization is "Big Tim" Sullivan, and he can hardly be classed among the "Old Guard." He was for a long time prominent in the county democracy and fought Tammany with success on the lower East Side. When he was taken into Tammany Hall by Croker he was faithful to its leader, as he appears to be faithful to Chas. F. Murphy, who is the boss of Tammany.
