Thomas W, Shelton Demands
Fixed Interstate Judicial Rela
tions Before Judges Confer.
MONTREAL*, Aug. 30-—Thomas W.
Shelton, of Virginia, was the princi
pal speaker to-night before the Con
ference of Judges, composed of the 48
chief Judges of the States, the Chief
Justice of the Court of Appeals of
ihe District of Columbia, the nine
presiding Judges of the nine Federal
Circuit Courts of Appeal, a Federal
judge from Hawaii and the Chief Jus
tice of Porto Rico.
It was the first conference of judges
ever held in the history of the United
States, and it was held* on foreign
soil. The object is to bring about
uniformity in judicial procedure
among the States through fixed in
terstate judicial relations, and pro
mote closer relations between the
courts.
"There is," said Mr. Shelton, “no
more excuse for differing court pro
cedure among the State* than for the
use of different languages. The prac
tical men of commerce are demand
ing the Injection of practical com
mon sense in the machinery of the
courts, and Congress and the Legis
latures are being called upon to give
the courts the necessary power.
It has been long since apparent that
unless judicial procedure was re
formed by the bench and bar, it would
be attempted by persons more selfish
than patriots."
The speaker declared that the
courts and lawyers were helpless;
that, “under the policy of Congress
and that of nearly all the States,” the
Judge is bound hand and foot by
rigid statutes. Asa result, the courts
have been accused of incompetency
and the lawyers of Indifference con
cerning a condition they did not cre
ate and are helpless to remedy.

Shortage of Apple
Pie Is Threatened
Small Crop Means Only Twenty Lus
cious Disks for Each Ameri
can, Says Expert.
PORTLAND, Augr. 30.—Apple pies
promise to.be a real scarce article this
season as a result of a shorter apple
crop in the United States than last
year. Approximately the crop of the
country is estimated at present
around 68,484,520 bushels, or 10,272,-
678,000 apples of average size.
“My, I don’t see where we are go
ing to get our usual supply of apple
pies this season,” says A. P. Bate-
ham, vice president of the North
western Fruit Exchange.
“It takes five average-sized apples
to make a good ancle pie, therefore '1
Is apparent that only 2,054,535,600 ap
ple pies can be made from the crop
this season. However, we will export
about 9,000,000 bushels this year, or
enough to make 270,000,000 pies, leav
ing only 1,784.545,600 pies for home
consumption, or not over 20 for each
person.”

velous amount of work. He ls fond

Municipality Adopts Charter Plac

on One Man’s Shoulders,
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.—When
a replica of Sir Francis Drake’s
stout little ship, the Golden Hinde,
sails through the merrymaking
crowds of San Francisco, during the
Portola festival of next October, it
will be guided by a descendant of
the famous English explorer. He is
C. G. Hoover, formerly of St. Louis,
now of Los Angeles.
According to Hoover and his sister,
they are coheirs to a fortune esti
mated at from $80,000,000 ' to $100,-
000,000, whose nucleus was left by
Drake to his brother. It is said to
be still in chancery In England.

Portola, first looked on San Francisco
Bay, passing by the Golden Gate in
a fog.
Negro Porter Rich
In Railroad Coupons
Court Rules That Company Must
Redeem All Paper Given Pend
ing Rate Decision.
HUNTINGTON, W. VA., Aug. 30.—
Following a recent court decision that
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad must
take up all ticket coupons, no matter
who is the holder, William Jackson, a
porter on the railroad, is said to be
$20,000 richer. He had gathered hun
dreds of the coupons given him during
the pendency of the suits to determine
the validity of the 2-cent fare law, while
the railroad was charging 3 cents a mile.
Several other porters will be several
thousand dollars richer, it is said, as
a result of picking up the coupons
thrown away by the passengers.
The railroad, knowing Jackson and
others had thousands of these coupons,
wanted to settle only with the original
purchasers, but the courts have de
creed otherwise.
DAYTON, Aug. 80.—Following the
adoption of the decidedly new form
of city government, Dayton Is now
looking about for a competent man
to assume the position of "City Man
ager," upon whom will devolve the
whole duty of managing the affairs
of the municipality when the charter
becomes operative next. January.
In addition to the City Manager, the
charter provides for five commission
ers, but their duties will be purely
legislative.
There is no diffusion of responsi
bility as aecn in the straight commis
sion plan where each commissioner is
in active charge of a department. T)
complete the balance of power, the
people are given the right to the ini
tiative, referendum, protest and re
call.
Ward Lines Are Eliminated.
An in-tergral part of the Dayton
plan of government Is the short non
partisan ballot and the elimination of
ward lines. At the same time a long
list of petty offices are taken off the
ballot and made appointive. Under
the new plan the commissioners are
chosen for a four-year term, half of
the body being elected every two
years. This feature of concentrating
responsibility in the hands of a tmW
men was desperately fought by all of
the old party machines.
The administration of the city is
divided into five departments, the
heads of which are appointed by the
Manager. All remaining city officers
are subject to civil service appoint
ment.
A unique feature is the creation of
a department of socle’ welfare, which.
In addition to supervising the depart
ments of health, parks and play
grounds, must make Inquiries into
the causes of poverty and disease in
the city, and make recommendations
to the legislative body.
Plan for Scientific Budget.
The new charter is also unusual in
providing for the complete adminis
trative machinery of the city, de
signed in harmony with the most ad
vanced ideas of city management.
Plans are made for a scientific bud
get, complete auditing of city ac
counts, a modern accounting system,
purchasing agent, standardization of
city supplies, time and service records
.and many other advances. These in
novations are the result of investiga
tions made by the Charter Commis
sion into the government of New
York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati.
The new charter will take effect
January 1, 1914.
The charter ls said to be the most
advanced ever adopted by an Ameri
can city. Dayton is the first city of
any size in the country to acquire a
city manager, and the first to Com
bine the best features of the old com
mission plan with the manager idea.

having been taken into partnership by
her husband. She goes out to work with
her husband every day and performs
the labor of tearing down houses with
the vigor of an average man.
“It’s a grand thing for these women
to be interested in educational thing*
and take up civic problems.'' said Mrs.
Chase. "But if women really want to
get anywhere it’s high time they began
to show that they are capable of doing
the same sort of physical work that
men do, and that they are the equals
of men in all respects. Just leave it to
me. I’ll do my share of the physical
labor.’’
MJT&H FIELD, OREG., Aug. 30.—It
would take more than the loss of a leg
and an arm to blight the love of Miss
Edna Demasters for Howard Brett.
They were childhood sweethearts in
Virginia and a couple of years ago Brett
came West to make his fortune. Six
months later he was caught on a tres
tle by a logging train and had his left
leg and arm cut off. Three or four
weeks ago he went to Portland to have
artificial limbs fitted. He returned this
week with the artificial limbs and also
a bride.
When Miss Demasters heard of his
tragedy she wrote him that it would
make no difference with their plans for
matrimony, and, in faot, urged that It
take place at once.
