Cincinnati. Sept. a. Elect Inn of of
ficers and the iinnmil bnhuuet of the
Amerienn Ilnr Association, to bo pre
sided over tonight by Chief Justice
Tnft, of the Supreme Court of the
United Stnte. were the principal fea
tures of the tlnnl dny's m'hmIols of the
forty-fourth nntiunl convention.
1 C. A. Severance, of St. Paul, wa
the most prominent!) mentioned man
for the presidency of the association for
the coming )ear .Tnmcw M. Heck, of
New York: Edmund V. Trabue. of
Louisville, Kn . and .lohn W. Davis, of
ClorksbtirRr W. Vn , also have been
suggested. The genet ol council will net
today on n lint of officers and" submit
Its recommendation to the association
this afternoon.
Impartial annihilation of the "whole
poisonous, pestilential brood" of what
generally is called the mob spirit is
the onlv guaranty of national afctv.
Luther A. Hosscr. of Atlanta Oa.. told
the Bar Association today in an aildicvs
on the Illegal enforcement of tli law
Lynching, he said, will ccao oul)
when Negroes stop their nttacks on
white women and when the white peo
ple rcnMi Mich a stage of self-control
that they can restrain themselves in
favor of the law two things that arc
too deep-seated to be met by the law
alone, but must be met by an awak
ening of public conscience am! the up
lift of the two races.
Two Kinds of Mobs
But lynching, he added, was onl)
one phnse of the mob spirit that "is
constantly and Industriously laying th.
x at the root of government." Labor
mobs, though different In their inceti
tlon and make-up. were drclarcd to he
Just ns inimical to the safety of the
Nation.
"The lynching moo ts born in a
whirlwind of pnxslon and survives but
a dny," he said "In the presence of
armed forces It slinks away In the
darkness and dissolves in terror.
"The labor mob too often Is born
of deliberation and preparation. It
often lives long enough to exert Its
corrupting Influence upon legislation
and administration ind to senile the
universal object of all such mob. Too
cften, in defiance of arms and con
stables, it continues its work of de
struction nnd murder."
Await Report on Aviation
Of the many reports to be heard In
today's final business sessions, that on

the greatest interest. Following a con
ference yesterday, the special commit

matters to reply to the resolution
adopted by the American Bar Asso
ciation at Cincinnati yesterday. In
which he was criticized for holding
n Federal office and his position as
baseball commissioner at the same
time.
"I haven't given It thought,"
fudge Landis said. "I am too busy
on other matters this morning, but
may take It up later In tHc day."

U. S. BAR REBUKES
Philadelphian's Resolution Says
Baseball Salary Shakes
Public Confidence
PASSED AFTER HOT DEBATE
By the Associated Tress
Cincinnati, 0.. Sept. 2. Before the
session of the American Bar Association
was called to order this morning there
were Informal expressions of opinion
nmong the delegates as to what Fed
eral Judge Kene-aw M. Landis. of Chi
cago, would say concerning the resolu
tion condemning him, adopted last night
hv the association after a stormy de
bate. The reholution was drawn 'ate yes
terday by the Executive Committee of
the association and was presented bv
Hampton L. Carson, of Philadelphia,
formerly president of the organization.
It is said the action of Judge Landis,
who is national commissioner of base
ball, in accepting "private employment
and private emolument" while active
on the Federal bench met with the
"unqualified condemnation" of the Bar
Association.
The- resolution denouncing Judge
Landis read as follows:
"Hesohcd. That the conduct of
Kcnesajv M. Landis In engnglng In
private employment and accepting
private emolument white holding the
position of a Federal Judge and re
ceiving a -salary from the Federal
(iovernment meets with our unquali
fied condemnation ns conduct un
worthy of the office of Judge, dcroga
tor)' to the dignity of the bench and
undermining public confidence In tho
Independence of the Judiciary,"
Carson Scores Judge
"In upholding the honor of the pro
fession of the law," Mr. Carson said In
nie.entin!r tin. m-nlutinn. "nf wbnt use
j U it to prescribe canons of ethics if we
know that the man on whom the judicial
i ermine rests has soi'ed that ermine by
yielding to the temptation of nvarirc
I and private gain?
"Here Is a Federal Judge who re
ccives S7,"00 a year yielding to the
folicitation of commercial interest, sap
ping his judicial strength bv tnklng
$12. ,"00 a year from baseball players.
"It Is simply dragging the ermine In
the mire. It may be that Impeach
ment cannot reneh him. but one thing
cannot csenpc us, thot is, that from
everv indirlnl eirrult and every bar in
the country rises the withering seorn
of protest against the man who would
stnln their honor. To ignore this thing
would have been to leave this conven
tion hanging our heads in sliaine at the
excernble conduct of this Judge."
Iuls Pleads for Fair Play
Ilising to defend Judge Landis as
a man convicted by the resolution with
out trial. James Hamilton Lewis, of
Chicago, declared it did not become the
dignity of the American Bar Associa
tion to take host) action.
"As a member of the bar in Chicago,
having practiced man) times before the
Judge in question, I cannot permit my
self to consent to a resolution proposed
for such hasty netlon," he said. "I
know Judge Landis and I have differed
with him both in public and in private,
hut I cannot permit an attack upon
his -haractcr or his probity as a man
who can be allured by money.
"While this man is on trial it does
r.ot become thih bod) to pass n resolu
tion which condemns him without a
heaiing. You have read in the public
nress thot he has accented this baseball
I position and has accepted this salary.
' It may be that these things nro true,
but whether true or not, we should
not present to the world a resolution
! which vio'ates fairness.
"I mme jou, sir. that the matter be
referred to a committee which may
' sfrve due notice upon the alleged culprit
suil gHe him opportunity for reply
Let iustiee be done, though the hcaviss
fail."
"Bar Is on Trial," Harbin Says

before condemning him.
"There Is no practical doubt that
ludge Landis is the National Commis
sioner of baseball." Judge Harlan said.
"There inin be some doubt about the
alar) h- receives, hut the American
Bar Association owes it to Itself if we
have esprit de corps and pride in our
profession, to tell the American public
whether the association thinks it right
for n Judge to receive a salary for
service off the bench.
Other Judges Need Money
"Judge Landis is not the only Judge
with ability. Many Judges, pressed by
the high cost of living and with meager
salaries would be glad to accept outside
employment. If the association thinks
il is all right they would be glod to
know about it.
"In juitlce to these others, let us

HITS SCHOOLHOUSES HERE
Albert Kelsey, Architect, Says New
England Buildings Are Best
Albert Kelsey, who has just re
turned from an extended motor trip
through the New England States,
said today he had seen many public
school properties that in contrast with
most of the public school buildings nnd
grounds in Philadelphia were a refresh
ment and an Inspiration.
"I am coininced," he snid, "that
Philadelphia hos not one public school
property of the very first rank, good
ns Frankford High School is. We have
but few of the second rank, but have
on the other hand more nntlqunted and
congested school properties unsuited to
the mental, moral and spiritual devel
opment of children, and the progress
of freedom nnd democracy than nny cit)
in the laud.
"I have seen in New England man)
school properties that were real coin
inunlt) centers little parks containing
n building that was the pride of old
nnd young alike ; many that dominated
and beautified long, dull city vistas. I
saw one combination town hall and
school, several effect tve groups of school
buildings, many schools with fine, green
nlaverounds. and manv with monu

as accessories to thoroughly modern,
well-lighted and well-ventilnted build

MONTGOMERY ASSESSORS
BALK AT HIGH TAX RULE
i
Ordered to Assess at Real Value, Say
They'd Be Kicked Out
Norrlstown, Pa., Sept. 2. Assessors
in MontgonnT) County arc having their
owiit troubles.
When taken to task yesterday by the
County Commissioners for low assess
ment of real estate, the several hundred
assessor from the county admitted they
were afraid of their jobs If they com
plied with the lnw, which provides thot
nropei tv he assessed at what it would
bring nt "a bonn-fide snle, after due
public notice."
One assessor said ho would be kicked
out of office and might ns well leave
town if he raised the assessment there.
Commissioner Hntfield told tho as
sessors that real estate In Montgomery
County, especially large properties, was
not assessed high enough ond that it
was up to the nssessorN to follow the
law, which called for a 100 per cent
assessment. Although bitterly con
tested by some of tho assessors in the
upper end of the county, a resolution
wns adopted that every assessor live
up to the law nnd his onth of office.
Some of the assessors who voted for
the resolution frankly sold they would
not be guided by it, nnd the resulting
situation is of the cinrity of mud. Al
bert Lee, of Lower Mellon, a supporter
of the resolution, said much of the
property In Lower Merlon Is now said
to be assessed as low as 25 per cent.
Most of the piopcrty in Montgomery
County is now snid to be assessed at
from 20 to 75 per cent.

of tho text of the note sent to Prime
Minister Lloyd George yesterday by
Enmon de Valera and his colleagues in
the Irish Republican Government.
Mr. Lloyd George Is spending n brief

was announced that nothing regarding
the Sinn Fein reply to the Prime Min
ister's note relative to the settlement of
tho Irish question would be given out
here until it was known it woh in Mr.

It was believed, however, that the
Sinn Fein leaders did not discuss with

of his latest note with the exception of
the final clause, in which further nego
tiations were suggested. There is evi
dent n desire on the part of men high
in the councils of the republican move

a disposition to consider favorably some

Two Others and Makes
Nine Pay Costs
MAKES TRUCE WITH CLUB
Two motorists were fined, two were
discharged nnd nine paid $4.20 costs
each in Squire Yerkos' "fine mill" at
Mllbourne this morning.
One of the men fined, James McEl
hinny, HC1G Lnncnster avenue, declared
lie was not In his ear on the dntcof
the nlleged violation of the speed regu
lations, but his son wns driving. He
refused Yorkes' suggestion for n further
hearing nt which his son could testify
nnd offered to pay the fincj $14.20,
which tho Squire accepted.
Tiirce defendants, members of the
Kevstone Automobile Club, which has
been lighting the "fining squire," were
discharged by him. He declared the dis
charges were on the merits of the cases
and not because of any alleged thrents
of the club to "get" him.
Robert W. Bentty, attorney for the
iiib, who represented the members, re
iterated former asu'rtlons that tho club
would come to the defense of nny mem
bers who thought themselves unjustly
prosecuted, but today's sessions were
not marked by nny legal tips between
himself nnd the squire, who yesterday
threatened to prohibit Bentty from
practicing In his court.
The Squire issued a statement "net
Iressrd to Bentty this morning. It re
pents his warning to the attorney made
.osterday and continues:
"One of )our executives snw fit to
make a statement thnt I was unfit for
this office. I can now sec why this
statement was made. I had released,
through the courtesy of some of your
executives, prisoners who were to ap
pear for a hearing. When your de
mands became so great that It was nn
impossibility for mo to keep on extend
ing this courtesy it wns then circulated
that )our club would put me out of
business.
"I came to the conclusion thnt I
could no longer e.tend this courtesy to
you becnuso autoinohillsts who wero not
members of your club were allowed to
shift for themselVes. In fairness to
them I had to treat your members the
same nn the rest; otherwise, if I had
allowed them to keep on breaking Uie
law your club or you would have shown
no interest in these proceedings what
soever. In fnlrncss) to nil in a court
of justice, justice must bo equnl."

Tilden nnd Johnston, the kings of th
American tennis court, are the ones
who wero responsible for bringing the
cup to this country from Australia.
