JUDGES RECOMMEND MAJORITY CONVICTION IN FLORIDA REPORT

' ' By Associated Press) TALLAHASSE, Fla., Oct. 9. Recommendation that the state legal code be amended so that "majority" verdics In both criminal and civil cases would suffice, was contained in the report o circuit judges who met here at the call of Governor cary A. Hardee, to formulate a proposed revision to the legislature .at its next session. The judges recommend that in case3 where a jury of 12 men is required, the verdict of 11 be -accepted, while in panels ol six men. the opinion of five

should prevail. Under the presf-nt state law, all except capital cases are tried by juries of six men. Another' recommendation deals with present procedure under which a judge is automatically disqualified in a case where two electors sign affidavits that he is prejudiced. The judges suggested that the presiding judgei be allowed to sit in judgment of himself In determining whether h-3 would be prejudiced if the allegations set forth in the two affidavits were true. As an effort to thwart the freeing of law violators on technicalities the. Judges' conference proposed that the tate be giwn the right of appeal from the judgment of lower court? where cases are dismissed on demur- ' rer, quashed indictments, or the like. Would Eliminate Rule. The provision in the code that counsel for the defendant shall have the last argument before the jury when the- defendant does not take the stand, would be eliminated in the proposed changes. The conference also adopt

ed Governor Hardee's suggestion that the jury selection method be stabilized by establishment in each county of a jury commissioner who would draw up for prospective jury service the names of not less than 200 nor more -than 500 qualif itd - "male" persons. This, with a view to improving the' personnel af juries. No. provision has been made in this state as yet for service on juries by women. The ' present law also would be amended to allow the removal for trial to another county of criminals, when in the opinion of the governor, circuit judge or sheriff, a fair trial would not be accorded in the immediate community. -

Advocates Placing Germany1 s

Export Trade On Gold Basis (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 9. Placing of the - export business of Germany on a gold standard basis is advocated by the Ili- ' nois Manufacturers' association in a letter sent to David Lloyd George, 7. prime minister of England. "In our : judgment the demoralization of the industry and commerce of Germany and .. of the other countries east of the Rhine whose currency has depreciated, can be checked only by putting the export business of these countries on ---a p.old standard basis," the letter states. The letter was signed by

"George R. Mcyercord. chairman of the foreign relations committee, who said he represented 2,300 members - whose estimated annual output is between five and six billion dollars and r whose plants furnish employment for about 800,000 persons.

In the midst of an arid Arizona desert, the copper mining company working the celebrated Ajo mine has created a beautiful oasis.

BY WILHELM HOHENZOLLERN From the start I concerned myself with the completion of the railway system. From the reports relating to national defense and the complaints of the General Staff, as well as from

parsonal observation, I knew of the absolutely incredible neglect suffered by East Prussia in the matter of rail

ways. The state of affairs was absolutely dangerous, in view of the steady, though gradual, reinforcing of the Russian troops facing our frontier, and the development of the Russian railway system.

During the last years of his reign Emperor William the Great had commanded Field Marshall Moltke to report on -the situation, since the Russian arimes, under the influence of France, were being posted ever more conspicuously on the eastern frontier of Prussia, arousing apprehensions as

to the possibility Of irruptions of great masses of Russian cavalry into

Prussia, Posen and Silesia. Quarter

master General Count Waldersee and I were present at the reading of this

report. From it came the resolve to shift Prussian troops eastward and to push toward completion the neglected railway system. The measures ordained by Emperor William I. and begun by him required time, particularly as the new railway

bridges over the Vistula and Nogat had to be built by the military authorities in' the teeth of strong offieial opposition (Maybach). Since the rail

ways were considered a national pocketbook," there was a desire to build only "paying' lines, which caused

prejudice against outlays tor military lines designed for the defense of the

Fatherland, since it diminisnea me

fine surplus funds by which such great

store was laid.

Not until my reign were the play

of Emperor Williaml. brought to real

ization. Any one taking up a railway map of 1888 will be amazed at

the lack of railway connection in tne east, particularly in East Prussia, es

pecially if he compares it with a iai4 map showing the development in the

intervening years. If we had had the old network, we should have lost our eastern territory in 1914. Unquestionably, Minister von Maybach rendered valuable services in the promotion and development of the railway system. He had to take into account the wishes and demands of the rapidly developing industrial sections of Western Germany, in doing which he naturally considered military desires also, as far as he could. But

during his regime Eastern Germany was very badly treated with regard to railway lines, bridges and rolling stock Had there been mobilization at that time, it would have been necessary to transfer hundreds of' locomotives to the east in order to maintain schedules capable of meeting even part of the requirements of the Gener

al Staff. The only means of communication with the east were the two

antiquated trestle bridges at Dirschau

and Marienburg. The General Staff

became insistent, which brought quar

rels between it and Maybach. Canal and Rail Prospects

Not until Minister Thielen came

into office was there a change occas

ioned by his self-sacrificing work, for which thanks are due him. Realizing correctly what military requirements

were, he pushed forward the comple

tion of the eastern railways. Thielen

was an able, diligent, thoroughly re

liable official of the old Prussian type,

faithful to me and enjoying my high esteem. In common with Miquel, he

stood faithfully by the side of his sov

ereign in the fight for the Central Canal. Characteristic of him were the

words which he said in my presence.

before a big assembly of people, at

the opening of the Elbe-Trave Canal:

"The Central Canal must and will be built" Relations between him and me

remained harmonious until his retire ment.

Despite the railway construction

work in the western part of Germany

there were in that region likewise

serious gaps in the network of rail

ways, from the point of view of mobil

ization of troops, which had 1 on

since needed remedying. The Rhine

as far up as Mainz, was crossed by

one railway bridge only: the Main

could only be crossed at Frankfort.

For a long time the General Staff

had been demanding the remedying of these conditions. Fortunately, general traffic moved in the same direction for instance, if a traveler coming from the west wished to reach

one of the watering places in the Taunus Mountains, or some place on the railway along the right bank of the Rhine, he had to go as far as Frankfort, and then return in the same direction, whence he had come,

although at Mainz he had almost been opposite Wiesbaden. Minister Budde was the man chosen

for the accomplishment of this work. As chief of the railway department of the General Staff ho had long

since attracted my attention by his extraordinary capacity for work, his energy and his promptness in making decisions. He had often reported to me on the gaps in our railway system, which would hamper quick deployment of troops on two fronts, and always pointed out the preparations being made in Russia and France, which we were in duty bound to meet with preparations of equal scope, in the interests of the national defense. The first consideration of course, in railway construction had been the im

provement and facilitation of industry

and commerce, but it had not been

able to meet the immeasurably increased demands of these, since the great new work of canals, designed to

relieve the railways, was not m existence. The war on two fronts,

which threatened us more and more

and for which our railways were, tech

nically speaking, not yet ready, partly

from financial-technical re a s o n s

made necessary that more careful attention should be paid to military requirements. Russia was building, with

French billions, an enormous network of railways against us, while in France the railways destined to facilitate the

deployment of forces against Germany

were being indefatigably extended by! the completion of three-track and four-

track lines something as yet totally unknown in Germany.

German Bridge Building Minister Eudde set to work without delay. The second great railway bridge over the Rhine at Mainz was constructed, likewise the bridge over the Main at Costheim and the necessary switches and loops for establishing communication with the line along the right bank of the Rhine, and with Wiesbaden; also the triangle at

Biebrich-Mosbach w as completed. Budde's talents found brilliant scope in the oragnization and training of the railway employes, whose numbers had grown until they formed a large army, and in his far-sighted care for bis

subordinates.

I respected this vigorous, active man with all my heart, and deply regretted that a treacherous ailment put, an end to his career in the very

midst of his work. In his Excellency von Britenbach I acquired a new and valuable aid and: co-worker in my plans regarding thej railways. In the course of years he:

developed into a personage of highi eminence. Distinguished and obliging, j of comprehensive attainments, keen) political insight , great capacity fori

work and untiring industry, he stood;

m close reiationsnip to me. His co-operation with the General Staff in military matters was due to his thorough belief in the necessity of strengthening our means of defense against possible hostile attacks. Plans were made for the con

struction of three now Rhine bridges

at Rudesheim, Neuwied and the Lore ley which were not completed until

during the war they were named, re-1 spectively, after the Crown Prince, Hindenburg and Ludendorff. In the east, great extensions . of railway

stations, bridges and new railway lines were built, some of them while the war was in progress.

Other important works carried out

by Breitenbach in the west were the

great railway bridge at Cologne, to

replace the old trestle bridge; a newbridge, by the Beyen Tower, for

freight traffic; and new railways in

the Eiffel Mountains. Moreover, at my special suggestion, a through line

was built from Giessen to Wiesbaden, which included reconstruction of the stations at Homburg and Wiesbaden

and the building of a loop around Frankfort and oenst. In addition, trains were provided with through cars from Flushing to the Taunus. To show that it is impossible to please everybody, I wish to observe in passing that we were violently attacked by the hotel proprietors of Frankfort, who were naturally not at all

pleased at this elimination of Frankfort and of the necessity, existing previously, for passengers to change trains there, since they lost thereby

many customers formerly obliged to

spend a night in some Frankfort hotel. This element brought particularly

strong opposition to bear -against the loop line around Hochst. The battle concerning the Central Canal was decided at last in favor of my plans. Under Breitenbach, construction on it was pushed forward by

sections with great energy. Those por

tions of this canal which it had been possible to place in operation have fully met expectations. Emden Sea Lock Completed

During this period, also, the extraordinarily difficult extension and deep

ening of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal

almost equivalent to building an entire

ly new waterway, was brought to com

pletion, likewise the great Emden sea

lock. These were remarkable achieve

ments in the domain of bridge and lock construction, which aroused the

admiration of the world; in the matter

of locks, for instance, those built at! this time far surpassed the locks of the Panama Canal in size. The difficult tasks were brilliantly and thoroughly completed by the officials in charge; in so far as the construction work was in the hands of the empire, it was carried out moatly with the supervising co-operation of the Prussian Ministry of Transporation. I often went to Breitenbach's home, where I had an opportunity, thanks to

him, of - having interesting talks on

commercial-political and economic subjects with a highly intelligent circle, of meeting a lot of eminent men and discussing important questions. The plans and sketches of all the larger railway stations, locks and bridges were submitted to me before the work of building or rebuilding them was begun, and reports concerning them were made to me. I have intentionally gone into detail in this matter in order to show the following: First, how a monarch can

and must influence the development

of his realm by personal participation;

second, how, if he makes his selections

quit independently of party reasons,

he can place able men at the head of

the various departments; third, how

by the honest co-operation of these

men with the sovereign, whose complete confidence they enjoy, brillianjJ results can be achieved. Everything that we did together was above-board and honest; nothing mattered but the welfare and development of the fatherland, its strengthening and equipment for competition in the world market.
