Root Urges
Weeding Out
Of Incompetents
CHICAGO, Aujr. 30.—President El
ihu Root of the American Bar associ
ation pleaded for a weeding out of tlu
unnecessary and incompetent among
the 114,000 lawyers in the United
States in his annual address at the
opening of the meeting of that orga
nization here today.
“It is true of the American people
generally,” said Mr. Root, “that too
many of us have been trying to get
something out of the country and too
few of us have been trying to serve
it.”
Basing his plea for efficiency in the
administration of the law upon the
statement that we must get down to
brass tacks in all our affairs if we're
going to keep pace with Europe after
the war, Mr. Root flayed our “cumber
some machinery of justice” and cal
led upon the lawyers to forget their
selfishness and give the country a lit
tle service not only in law administra
tion, but in law making. He said that
as a rule only the youngest and least
experienced lawyers get into our law
making bodies, local,, state and nation
al. Concerning the law and the law
yers, Mr. Root said in part: “There is
great economic waste in the adminis
tration of the law in state and nation.
We spend vast sums building court
houses, paying judges, clerks and oth
ers and the product in justice is dis
proportionate to the plant and work
ing force. There is no country in ti e
world where the doing of justice is
burdened by such heavy overhead
i charges. It all causes an enormous
waste of time on the part of witnes
ses, jury panel and parties.
“The ease with which admission to
the bar is secured in many jurisdic
tions and the attraction of a career
which affords a living without manual
labor has crowded the bar with more
lawyers than are necessary. Of the
114,000 lawyers in the United States a
j » V.I vuiioi\iv.iuuiv pint UIC nut UCCUCU.
I If that business were conducted like
I the business of any great industrial
or transportation company which is
striving for the highest efii-Jemy at
the least cost in order to compete suc
cessfully with its rivals, a very con
s' io able percentage of the 114,600
would be discharge !.
‘•Why do these defects exist in our
administration of justice ’ The .kin
etic;, n people are not quarrelsome or
litif.'.f us. They are good matured,
practical, simple an.i direct in their
methods, respecters of law and honest
in their dealings. Our bar as a
whole is courageous, loyal and able. I
think the underlying cause is that un
consciously we all treat the business
of administering justice as something
to be done for private benefit instead
i of for the public service.”
Mr. Root admitted that our basic
law should be redrafted, but, he added,
“none but a prophet or seer could do
it and none such was available.”
Committees on judicial reform will
report tomorrow morning and Mr.
Root’s address may form part of the
basis of discussion on these reports.
Stephen S. Gregory, of Illinois,
former president of the association,
will preside at the evening session to
day. Former President Frederick W.
Lehmann, of Missouri, will preside to
morow morning and former President
Henry St. George Tucker of Virginia,
tomorrow evening.
The meeting will close with the an
nual dinner of the association Friday
night.

Marshal Brown
Wins Praises for
Making Arrest
The Juneau Empire of recent date
contains the following concerning
Deputy Marshal Harry it. Brown, of
Knik:
Deputy Marshal H. R. Brown was
highly commended by passengers on
board the steamer Admiral Farragut
which sailed south yesterday morn ng
for his work in arresting a liquor ped
dlbr at Hoonah, while the boat was in
port. Resolutions were drawn up by
a committee appointed from among
: the passengers and signed by all the
first class passengers on the boat and
forwarded to the department at Wash
ington.
Mr. Brown is a son of Judge Fred
M. Brown of the third division dis
trict court sfid is stationed at Knik.
He was a passenger southbound on
the Admiral Farragut, on his way
| outside with prisoners. When the
| steamer landed at Hoonah one of the
cannerymen from Katalia went up
town and shortly afterward it was
reported to Brown that a drunken
native was lying in the street near
the boat. .
Brown went ashore quietly and
i rounded up the native, found out
j where he had been calling on one o.
[ the native girls, placed her in custo
I dy and she identified the white man
' who gave the whiskey to both of
them. The man was arrested and
brought to Juneau with the two na
tives as witnesses.
Yesterday afternoon the man, Chas.
Peterson, was given a hearing before
Commissioner Marshal and bound
over to the grand jury under $200
cash bail.
The passengers on the Farragut
were greatly impressed with the bus
iness-like way in which Brown han
ded the case, and at once appointed a
committee from among their numbers
to draw up the resolutions. Edwin C.
Sherman, of Columbus, Ohio, was the
chairman of the committee on resolu
tions.
Young Straud,
Alaska Prisoner,
Doomed to Die
(Juneau Dispatch)
Robert E. Straud, the Juneau boy
onvict at Leavenworth, Kansas, fed
eral prison, has been condemned to
hang for the slaying of a prison
guard. However, relatives are confi
dent Jie will be cleared if the appeal
to a higher court sends the case back
for a re-trial. An appeal has been
made on error by the presiding judge
in instructing the jury, and a promi
nent firm of Kansas City criminal
lawyers employed by the mother be
lieve the appeal will be successful.
Marcus Strand, brother of the con
demned boy, has returned to Juneau
from Kansas City. Mrs. E. J. Straud,
mother of the two boys, remains at
Kansas City to fight the conviction of
her boy.
Marcus Straud says his brother,
Robert, was persecuted by the prison
guard. Evidently to protect himself
from a brutal beating with a club, he
stabbed the guard fatally.
Robert Straud was convicted at Ju
neau of murder, and sentenced to Mc
Neil island piison. Later he was tak
en to Leavenworth to finish his se
tence. He was lost track of unti1
