The initiative, referendum j "nd recall are "a complete negation of j the representative system established i by the Pilgi ims and Puritans,” declar ; ed former President William H. Taft, i in an address tonight at the annual j dinner of the New Kngland Society of , | Detroit. "The Initiative, re'erendum and re- j j eall are a. reversion to an early type of | | pure democracy that failed In Athens i and Rome arid that always has failed i where It has been given a trial in any community except a small community under peculiar conditions different from ours,” continued Mr. Taft. "The | details of legislation involve that con | structive ability that only experts can he cxi erted to have. Power to Minority. I "The Initiative gives to a small per ventage of the electorate an oppor tunity to compel the whole electorate duties beyond the point where they are willing to perform them. The conse quence is that instead of stimulating attention to electoral duties, the npw nostrums tire the voters and leave tin- government to the control of a small minority. '"The recall Is an institution calcu lated to take all the courage and stif fening out of public officials and to make the agents of the public jelly fish in the most constructive work en trusted to them, in doing the business of the people. It has the strongest ten dency to limit the public servants to a listless and colorless performance of their duties In order not to arouse the enmity of any one." ARTILLERY, BIG DEVELOPMENT OF EUROPEAN WAR New Methods of Battle Largely Due to Character of Artillery Used; From Machine Gun to Great Siege Motors.

Following Refusal of Habeas Corpus Application, Judge Newman Takes Motion of Condemned Man’s Counsel For Appeal to U. S. Supreme Court Under Advisement. Atlanta, Ga.—Deo M. Frank, con demned to be hanged January 22d, next, for the murder here in April, j 1913, of Mary Phagan, was refused a I writ of habeas corpus by Federal Judge Newman here Saturday. A mo | tlon was immediately made by Frank’3 attorneys requesting an appeal from Saturday’s decision to the United States supreme court. Judge New man withheld action on the motion until Monday. Some Confusion. There was some confusion with re gard to the appeal and it was at first announced that Judge Newman had granted it. The judge stated last night, however, that he announced at the close of the hearing late yesterday that he was "inclined to grant the ap peal." Dater it was said the federal law enacted In 1908, requiring a fede ral Judge granting an appeal in ha beas corpus proceedings to issue a cer tificate stating his opinion that there was probable cause for an appeal, was brought to the court’s attention in chambers and he informed the attor neys that he would hold his decision on the matter in abeyance until Monday. Tiie writ was sought on the ground that Frank's constitutional fights were violated in that he was "involuntarily absent" from thq court room when the verdict was announced. Lost Jurisdiction. Attorneys Henry C. Peeples and Harry A. Alexander, on Frank's be half, argued that the Georgia state courts lost jurisdiction of the case when he was denied the right to face the jury at the culmination of his trial. They contended that Frank Is being deprived of his liberty under a con viction and judgment which was ren dered void by reason of the trial court’s action. They argued that the question was not one Involving state courts’ procedure, but one for the Jurisdiction of the federal courts. "Probable Cause for Appeal.” Washington.—A federal law enactei in J9OB requires that a federal judge In granting an appeal in habeas cor pus proceedings issue a certificate stating that in his opinion "probable cause for an appeal” exists. The law rends: "From the final decision by a court of the United States in a proceeding of habeas corpus where the detention complained of is by authority or pro cess issued out of a state court, no appeal to the supreme court shall he allowed unless the United States court by which the final decision was ren dered or a Justice of the supreme court shall be of opinion that there exists probable cause for an appeal, in which event, on alldwing the same, the said court of justice shall certify that there is probable cause for such allowance." Prior to 1908. Refore 1908, such a certificate was not required. Should a Judge not for ward such a certificate, it was stated Saturday that an appeal probably would be dismissed by the supreme court. An appeal In the Frank case, prop erly lodged, would not ordinarily come up for consideration by the supreme court for nearly two years, hut most applications by state officials to ad vance to habeas corpus appeals are granted. “ROSE OF THE RANCHO’’ AT STRAND THURSDAY David Belasco's famous play "The Rose of the Rancho,” produced by the Jesse D.
