SCANDALOUS DELAYS IN THE COURTS ALABA3^LVS state bar association is engaged upon a work that ought to interest California, because there is far greater need of it here than in any state of the union. This work is the reform of tiie abuses of criminal appeal. The Ala bama association lias setit out a circular to similar bodies in other states, reciting the growing scandal of reversal on appeals for error in the trial courts which was not really material. It is this fear of reversal for purely technical and immaterial error that has per mitted the scandalous delays and ridiculous pleas made by the defense in the graft prosecutions. The time is wasted, for instance, in Jrmg winded and wearisome attacks on the validity of the grand jury and its act?, which touch not at all die question of the guilt •or innocence of the persons accused. Counsel ought not to be permitted to waste time jetting grand jurors on' trial as they have done in these cases. The acts of a de facto official body should be recognized as valid beyond question^ The trial court, however, from long and bitter experience, fears reversal oi\ immaterial points or , for error that caused no sub stantial injury to the accused. The California law reports are full of just such reversals, notwithstanding. the express provision of law forbidding such action. Of course, the statute js of doubtful word ing and the appeal courts may construe the words "substantial injury" to suit themselves. The Alabama lawyers are preparing; a law with similar design, but they will probably find the same difficulty there.- (There is no means to limit by statute the discre tion of appeal courts. . . It is a remarkable fact that in this country the reversals and new trials granted on appeal are something- like 50 per cent of the whole, while in England the proportion is about | per cent. That is to say, in the United States it is an even bet that the judgment of a criminal trial court is defective for some trivial fault and the work must be done all over again. Justice Brewer of the national supreme court is on record as saying that the abuse of setting aside verdicts for error not going to the merits is great and growing, but it is quite clear that reform must come through the appeal courts and not the legislatures. And. your, petitioners. will ever pray. DISCIPLINE FOR THE PULLMAN GOUGERS WISCONSIN is one of the progressive states that have insti tuted really effective systems of regulation for railroads and common carriers. Under the leadership of Senator La Follette the decent people of Wisconsin have been able to control their home politics and throw off the rule of corporations. In line with this policy is a recently enacted law to discipline, the Pullman company and compel that monopoly to show some regard for the convenience of the traveling public. It is a rule of the sleeping car company to make up all upper berths at night, whether they are* occupied or not. The object is, of course, to compel travelers who want air space and ventila tion to buy a whole section. The plan is nothing less than an impudent gouge. -The^Wisconsin legislature has shut off the machinery of this petty imposition by the enactment of a law providing that when upper berths are not occupied ithe; shelf or ledge must not be Jet down. The occupant of the lower berth is thus relieved from the stifling sensation of sleeping in a coffin and bumping his head against the lid every time he* lifts it. In warm climates the addi tional air space is a quite considerable boon. All this may- seem a small matter, but it is worthy of con sideration as an indication or symptom of the general policy of this monopoly to play the hog in all its relations with the public; Its charges for service are exorbitant, its rules oppressive and its. tax shirking continuous and monstrous. It goes into court. and declares that it is above "and "beyond the law. It refusesto admit the;juris diction of the interstate commerce commission and asserts. that the United States has neither power nor authority to regulate* its busi ness. In a word, the Pullman company is an outlaw corporation by its own declaration. WAR AMONG THE BUGOLOGISTS IT A 7"HO saw the white fly first? \ It, seems; that there is; an ex 1/1/ asperated controversy afoot for the honors of discovery, and YV celestial minds in learned circles arc deeply agitated: -' The University of California, which asserts a prior ownership of insect pests, is all torn up, because the state horticultural com missioner, whose other name^is Pease, declares that .Professor Woodworth is a mere^prctender, who usurps the glory that rightly; belongs to the illustrious Gossard. Not only that, but Woodworth is charged with: larccnously appropriating the credit for \u25a0'•, the war of extermination successfully -waged by the horticultural mission.;' ' ' - \; .\u25a0 : : \u0084-\ \u25a0 y/ : \ As everybody knows, the white fly is an outlaw bug,;first cousin ! to.the-woolly/aphisand the cottony cushion scale, not so much: in \ entomological as in predatory relationship.

Then the professor unlimbers his own squirt gun in reprisal on the commission, and he declares: : : . ;' - . ' The work of the commission in the white fly matter has been half hearted, and -not such as I should desire credit for. Orders were giv'eh by, the commission to the Marysville orchardists to cut down trees infected with the white fly, the work to be -done -by July 8. When! was there re cently about 50 trees, out of 1,000; had been cut down. The commission's order apparently; remains to^be- obeyed^. .' '.'\u25a0: '' '" ~"^ w:. .;^ r . Moreover^ the charge made by Pease that the university de sires to butt into "the white fly situation. by; claiming credit for the, work done by an Alabama bugologer is equally unwarranted, says Professor ; Woodworth,. because '-'the Alabaman, destroyer wag merely a coincidence, .and any^ way he_ was a former; member of the- university, entomological department. It was like this: ;> Commissioner Pease , is credited- with saying that' the /university de sires to get into the white fly 'situation and gain the credit 'of the work done, by importing. Professor ,« W: T.'i Clarke from Alabama I , in the. campaign against the white fly. The absurdity ; of that ; will be understood when , it ; is known that Professor Clarke, a former member of our department/ was on his way to California from Alabama tc^ resume his work here < before it was known that the .white fly: existed in Caftfornia. - • '. > Professor' Clarke just, happened, and the university is not to blame: It all makes ar very animated: and inspiring -debate, but we. hope that the bug police will reconcile their: differenccs^and gO tO WOrk.

Evans in command, and several versions were given of the "origin "of his nickname, "Fighting Bob." The navy man didn't .-.{ say a-,: word unUl .we'd all' finished, and then he came out with his version, which, heVsays, is the true one. "I knew him at Ann apolis," he said, "or rather I may say I heard of him there, and have met him" since. When Evans "first went to the academy he had a bible text that Ms mother had given him, and he tacked it up on the wall of hi 3 room. He didn't know that wall ornaments were not. permissible in the academy, you see. So 'when a minor officer stuck his head Inside the door, and. on seeing the 1 tfltxt, 1 called out, 'Take that picture thing down.* Robley retorted, 'That isn't a picture, and I won't take It down, I'll fight first." The officer was not up to a fight then, but reported the matter to the com mandant-The latteF said that the picture must come down,~ahd then Robley said that he would appeal to s*me 'one higher up than the commandant If he was again asked to remove his" mother's gift. The commandant had an idea that the boy might have a big pull somewhere^ so he 'referred the matter him self to the secretary 01 the navy. The newspapers had dropped on the story meanwhile, and the religious papers took it up, then the churches became Interested. They charged the navy department with being hostile to religion. It ended in the text staying on Evans^wall and himself being decorated with a new name, "Fighting Bob." N f^vanc /~/i«tW *. "Evans has' a great admiration for Emperor P va ns wnvinccs V- wU i iam> you ' knOTV% - said the professor. him : emperor William se if a German, "and says that the emperor knows more about more different things than any one he ever met. He was at th^ opening of thcKielicanal some years ago, and among others he met on one of the German war *vessels an officer who spoke to him, and they chatted quite informally and pleasantly for some time on naval matters. There was no formal introduction and none seemed needed. The German officer suggested that he would like to present his wife, and Evans acquiesced. She was ageniai'a'nd well informed lady and Admiral Bob enjoyed quite a lengthy talk with her before it occurred to him that he might be monopoliz ing a 'charming woman whom others appeared waiting to speak to. He went away, and later asked some one who the officer was. It was Prince Henry. ;But Henry seemed to like it all right, and when he came to America it was Admiral Bob who was chosen to be his guide." r "Apropos Kiel," remarked the navy man, "I remember Jim Creelman tell ing how one night -the emperor asked, as he was leaving the ship, how lons it would take to close all the water tight compartments. Evans said about ,30 seconds, in' the day and perhaps two minutes in the night. With a merry twinkle ": inyiiis eye ' the emperor asked — the admiral was only v a captain then, you know— if he would mind closing them then. 'Certainly 'not,' was" the; answer, and the captain turned to give the siren signal, only. to find the steam too low.; to make a -sound. 'Ah. ha,' said William, 'you see, you cannot close your bulkheads. at all.' At that moment Bob touched the electric signal for general alarm, calling all hands. to quarters. Inyt moment the crew was all swarming up and in exactly one-and half minuKes by the Imperial watch the water, tight compartments were closed. 'Captain, I cannot conceive of a ship being in : better condition.' said the imperial martinet." "What I like about Bob Evans," said the lawyer, who prides himself upoa his patriotism, "is that he was the man who let the Britishers* know that Bering sea wasn't a sailing passage for England.! He went there from Val paraiso, you remember, and stopped off here on the way." The Smart Set THE £ engagement ," ; of y. Miss..'.
