Breckearldge f Omaha is Mraser af Ex ecutive Commit!. BOSTON. A eg. Th announcement that President Taft would say a final word at th closing session of th American Bar association was sufficient to crowd Hunt ington hall with Borne of the brighteat legal lights of th country.

Previous to the arrival of the president th association debated at length a resolu tion denouncing the doctrine of recall of judge and urging th various state bar aas notations to "expos ths fallacy ef Judicial recall." ' Taft for Reforms. President Taft spoke of the need for reform In Judiciary procedure. He de clared that the initiative should be taken by lawyer, and said that It always gave him great pleasure to speak on this sub ject "from a pulpit" where hi hearers would understand hlra. The president said there Is need for ad vancing Judicial salaries, so that "th beat men of the bar' mlgM be secured for th various courts. The United Ptates circuit Judges, he said, ars not paid so well pro portionately aa are the United Rtates dis trict Judge. He thought a return to th old system, whereby Judge in different localities were paid different salaries, would be dangerous. Th salaries of th supreme oourt Jus tices, th president said, should be In creased. "I think," said he, "that the sal aries of th supreme court Justice should be placed at $26,000 a year."

There should be another court to consider patent appeals." Power ef Coart Keeesaary. Coming the the question of the power of the court the president spoke with ve hemence. "Thank God.' he said, "w had John Marshall and hla associates to de cide that the courts are th ultimata tribunal to make th laws that the legis lature enacts square with th constitu tion." Reviewing briefly the general arbitra tion trestle with Great Britain and with France, the president made It plain that he did not believe objectiona to the treaties were valid. Drawing an analogy between sick In dian who hs ssid always wants something "that bites" to make him well, th presi dent aald thla nation wants something that "bltea" In th arbitration treaties, some thing that binds and sticks. The president started on his return trip to Beverly about noon. Alleged Watermelon Thief Killed. WE!!B CITY. Mo..

BRYAN STILUF SAME MIND Gets Facts in Connection with Big Democratic Caucus. HAS NO CONFIDENCE IN LEADER Doe Not Accept Reasons Advanced by Chairman of Hooae Committee for Delay on the Steel Schedule. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Neb.. Aug. 81. (Speclal.)-Mr. Bryan says thin week In his paper that he has at least become cognisant of the facta connected with tht famous Demo cratic caucus held July 26. He sets them out Idltorlally in this manner: "Mr. Bisson of Mississippi offered a res olution In th caucus instructing the ways and means committee to proceed with the preparation of othtr bills. Including one covering th Iron and steel schedule. "Whan thl was opposed Speaker Clark offered as a compromise a resolution milder In language but having th same general objeet. "Mr. Underwood opposed both these reso lutions. "Mr. Bryan'a Informant took an active part in the caucu and in giving the Infor mation mlnlblses the difference between Mr. Underwood and Mr. Clark, but th fact remains that Mr. Clark offered th reso lution as Mr. Bryan first stated, on the authority of the Omaha World-Herald. "It Is strange that Mr. Underwood, in denouncing Mr. Bryan was not candid enough to admit that Mr. Clark Introduced the resolution. "The Issue, then, is not one of fact, as Mr. Underwood would have It appear, but a difference as to conclusions. Why did Mr. Underwood oppose th preparation of aa Iron and still schedule at this season, or until after th president acted? The fact that he asked the committee to re,eve him of embarrassment by reporting a bill In th beginning of th extra session Is evidence of good intent at the beginning, but Is not conclusive as to his reasons for favoring delay at toe close of the session. Oelalea Mill Same. Thos who have confidence in Mr, Un derwood may accept his reasons at their face value, but Mr. Bryan doea not have confidence In him and doea not accept his reasons. Mr. Bryan believes him tainted with protection and regards his selection as chairman of the committee aa unfor tunate. Th committee will have more work to do next winter. Mr. Bryan will be pleased if Mr. Underwood's conduct next winter proves him a real opponent of the principle of protection, but Mr. Bryan doe not expect such proof to be fur nished.", In this wise Mr. Bryan declares that sev eral mistakes were made by the democratic house. One was putting a tariff on raw wool, another In adjourning without sub mitting an amendment for direct election of senators, another in not passing an anti trust bill, and another In permitting a secret caucus to control legislation. Greatest of all, he puts down the making of Underwood chairman ef the ways and means commit tee. "H Is not a thorough-going tariff re former, and the environment ia against progressiva democracy. The party has a right to expect that a poeltlv and aggreaa Ive opponent of the whole protective policy ahould be placed at the commlttee'a head. Th mistake has already cost th party dearly," hs says. Replying to th request of the Jacksonlan club of Omaha asking him to lend hla aid In nominating Woodrow Wilson, Mr. Bryan says: "Mr. Bryan acknowledges with apprecia tion th compliment paid. He recognizes ths merit and popularity of Governor Wilson, but Is not yet prepared to discuss the rela tive strength of those who can be clashed among available. Mr. Bryan has but one desire in th matter, namely that the beat man may be chosen. He has hesitated to argue any one man over others, berauxe UNION LEADERS KEACUTKISCO Presidents of Federations Are Consult ing with Local Labor Leaders on Conditions in West KRUTTSCHNITT STANDS FIRM Says He Will Not Recognize Men as Representatives.
