DGE, England, July 6.—Cam- bridge University today conferred the honorary degree of doctor of laws upon Willlam Howard Taft, Chief Justice of the United States.

Sir John was a distinguished scholar and ‘was Lane lecturer at Harvard in 1903. Paid Farewell Honor. England’s bench and bar s«id farewell to Chief Justice Taft last night. The leading members of the middle temple, Britain'd foremost training center of lawyers, tendered him an imposing testimonial in the ancient hall where Shakespeare, acted before Queen Eliz- abeth and where three signers of the Declaration of Independencs ook legal degrees. Those present included Ambassador Harvey, Home Secretary Shortt, Lord Carson, lord of appeals; Viscount Haldane, Lord Hewart, lord chief jus- tice, and Mr. Justice Darling. Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Harvey sat In the gallery. Lord Birkenhead, lord high ¢ cellor, who was toastmaster, reviewed Mr. Taft's career, coupling his legal accomplishments, sagacity and staie- craft with those of John Marshall apd Joseph Story. Three Previously Honored. Only three Americans. he sald, had préviously been honored by the mid- & temple—Choate, Levering and is. He called attention ‘to the Gt that there had been only seven ef Justices of the United States e the foundation of the republic, apd said they appeared to be longer- lfved than Englandl's jurists. He hoped Mr. Taft's tenure of the high- est bench would be longer than his presidency. The English bench and bar desired that Mr. Taft should re- turn to the United States not as a sfitesman, judge or lawyer, but as a ‘wagm friend and brother of his fellow chers of England. “The Chiet Justice was deeply moved hg-the overwhelming reception. He coald not express the gratitude he had in his heart, but realized that this greeting was tendered him in His capacity as representative of the American people. He referred® to Great Britaln as the great colonial emipire of the modern world; every- dy knew the inestimable service e had rendered oppressed and alien rices. England had shown the world that there was such a thing as jus- tice between man and man, which is biad and knows no favor. ». Explaina American Courts. r. Taft explained the powers and operations of the American Supreme amd federal courts; the procedure there required drastic reform sedy justice was to be secured. The lish judicial system, he continued, excited the profound admiration of erican jurists and lawyers. The Clifef feature of that system was the opportunity it gave litigants to get tagether before a case was called inte court, and it acquainted each perty with what the other was going to-.do, thus reducing to the lowest terms’ the labor required to develop #xissue before the court. He had been presented with a copy of-the English code of civil procedure, which, said Mr. Taft, if the weather wa$ good, he intended to read at sea. AL the conclusion of the dinmer the edtire assemblage arose and gave Mr.Taft three cheers, sang “For He's aJdolly Good Fellow" and wished him godspeed. z GANTON MEDIATION JOVE UNDER WAY Sin Demands Punishment of Pfficers in Coup and Apology by Chen.

It is indicated that further efforts are being made to induce the Lima government to decide finally one way or the other, and that the outcome may be communicated to Washington by the end of the weéek.

Chile's attitude is explained by her spokesmen as a thoroughly concilia- tory one, embracing a wlilingness to accept Peru's suggestion for any minor changes in the American for- mula so long as the major principles laid down by Secretary Hughes and accepted by Chile are not disturbed. It is held, however, that to provide for a second arbitration in place of the direct negotiations proposed by the Secretary to follow a no-pleb- iscite decision would be to vitiate a fundamental of the whole plan. The Peruvian delegates are unwill- ing to discuss the situation in detail, but they indicate that they expect a final decision tomorrow or Saturday. ASIA MINOR PROBE AGREENENT NEAR U.
