Is this a favorite proverb with former City Chamberlain Hyde? The EF St Bar Association urging lawyers and judges to “provide for jon and despatch of judicial busines« to the end that the law's delay and its reproach no longer becloud us, our rights and our affairs.” Charles H. Hyde was indicted for bribery as a public official May 1, 1911. He was charged with using his power over deposits of city money to force the National Bank of New York to loan $130,000 to the Carnegie Trust Company. In return he was alleged to have| reosived a loan of $13,800 from the latter company in the name of hie geeretary, John V. Smith. } From May 1, 1911, until the present time Charles H. Hyde has} @taved off trial by one of the most marvellous series of gyrations and | wrigglings through courts and writs ever made possible by the maze flaw. The case will be called for trial at the October term of the} inal Branch of the Supreme Court this Fall, unless new legal serobatics for delay are devised meanwhile. For nearly eighteen months, in any case, Charles H. Hyde, through a bewildering list of administration of law in this State can do for a man under indictment who is in no hurry to be tried. The Board of Trade and Transportation has been at some pains to put up a strong: argument against the law’s delay.

A French writer propounded the question to distinguished and wealihy persons among his countrymen. The answers varied. A rich society man said he would become! a riding master.
