BODVWELL LLAND COMPANY ) 404 NATIONAL BANK BUILDING, ' ’PHONE 1418-3 RESTRICT TRIAL OF “CASES BY PAERS Former President, Tat Advocates in Speech at Albany - Albany, N. Y., June 12.—Provisions restricting “‘trial of cases by news- papers,” providing for: appointive Judiclary facilitating tne impeach- Lineént of judges and elimmating grand juries and petit juries in civil cases, ‘should be written into the state con- tutfon, former President Taft told the judiclary committes of the con- -lfltutlonal convention yesterday. He also ddvocated the -retention of trial Jury which unanimous verdicts in }glmlm cases, " ““One of the greéatest evils we have ay,” he said, “is the practice of _0f cases by newspapers. This 4 ctice creates an atmosphere which it 'is hard for the court and jury to overcome. My suggestion would be’ that the censtitution modify the freedom of Ahe press provision tc the extent,.at Jeest, of authorizing the - legislature 13 pass laws to protect the administra- Mon of justice against the abuse of the Oppose Direct Primary. e condemned nominating judges direct primary, as, he ‘said, it gave the attorney who had figured in some tional law suit, or.a populay idol, ‘in an unfair advantage over a man really qualified. Power to appoint judges should be vestéd in the governor rather than in the higher courts, he thought. “I am strangly in favor of making judges feel they are not independent when they abuse ‘thelr privileges,” ne continued. ‘Recent rmpeachment proceedings in the federal courts strengthen my belief in that assertion. Those proceedings have proved heal- thy to the judiciary of ahe country.” Attacks Indictment System. “The present system of grand jury indictment is adapted to preparation of prejudiced defense,” Mr. Taft de- ciared: “The indictment carries with it a certain stigma which tends to affect juries, although in the ordin- ary it should not. A simple accusa- tion by the prosecuting otficer would be the remedy I should propose.” In the trial of civil cases, he held that juries were unnecessary added, expense and wasted time. Should Retain Jury, -Concerning criminal cases, he said the jury and unanimous verdicts should be retained it for no other purposes than to ‘counteract the vicious danger of newspaper trials.” He favored elimination of the consti- tutional provision relieving a prisoner from the-necessity oftestifying against himselt. “ You suspect that your son stole Some preserves out of the fruit closet you first ask your son whether he did cr not,” he said, in emphasizing the point. ' “If.he denies it, then you seek for other evidence. It snould be so criminal practice.” ) After the hearing Mr. Taft left for entire | i 50 New York. He said he might make a statement on the second note to Ger- many after reaching New Haven. ROOSEVELT PLEDGES SUPPORT TO WILSON Colonel Applauds President For Stand Taken In Disagreement With Former Secretary Bryan. New Orleans, La., June 12.—Ap- plauding President Wilson for his stand in the disagreement with Sec- retary Bryan over the issue between the Unitd States and Germany, Col- onel Theodore Roosevelt in a signed statement received last night from Breton Island, La., pledged his sup- port to the president in all steps he may take to uphold the honor and the interests of the United States. “According to Mr. Bryan's state- ment,” Colonel Roosevelt says, “he has left the cabinet because Presi- dent Wilson, as regards the matters at issue with Germany, refuses to follow the precedent set in the thirty all-inclusive arbitration commission treaties recently negotiated, and de- clines to suspend action for a vear while a. neutfal commission investi- gates the admitted murder of Ameri- can men, wompen and children on the ‘high seas, and( further declines to for- bid American citizens to travel on neutral ships in accordance with the conditions guaranteed to us by Ger- many herself in solemn treaty. “Of course, I heartily applaud the | Secretary { bundle of newspapers decision of the president; and in com- mon with all other' Americans who are loyal to the traditions handed down by the men who served under ‘Washington, and by the others who followed Grant and Lee in the days of Lincoln, I pledge him my heartiest support in all the steps he . takes to uphold the honor and the interests of this great republic, which are bound up Wwith the maintenace of democratic liberty and of a wise spirit of humanity among all the nations of mankind.” 55 Colonel was told of Bryan's resignation late Thursday, when several members of | the Louisiana conservation commis- sion joined the Parker-Rosevelt party at Battledore Island. On receiving a the first he had seen in several days, Colonel | Roosevelt inquired: ‘“Has war broken out? Had I better return immediate- | ly?” He made no comment on the; resignation of Mr. Bryan other than his written statement which was pre- pared yesterday. . Roosevelt MURDER TRIAL ADJOURNED.
