J Former Presidential Candi date Spoke to South Caro lina Lawyers. lis OF ROOSEVELT In An Address Before Bar Association He Declared Recall Had Its Be ginning in Roosevelt's In cumbency. Columbia, S. C, Jan. 25. Judge Al ton B. Parker, of New York, who once contested the Presidential 'election uith Theodore Roosevelt, deliyfred a a address in this city tonight, before the South Carolina Bar Association, in which he expressed himself as op posed to the recall of the judiciary, and took exception to some of the cri tirisms of the bench made in the past by Mr. Roosevelt. He said in part: "If put into practice arid carried to its inevitable conclusion, recall of judges is the substitution of popular opinion ior legal procedure: it is jus tire or injustice meted out, not accord ing to the law of the land, but accord ing to supposed public sentiment. Re call of judges spells In the ultimate re sult a recall or the Judicial system and the substitution of a vigilance, commit tee. "Never before, I think, in the histo- r." of civilization, has any blind leader of the blind advocated as progressive a return to the chaotic conditions iri h -rent in administration of justice by caprice rather than by the rules of law. "The recajl of judges, however, is but the first" step toward the cherish ed goal of the leaders of the movement asainst the judiciary. The ultimate aim is the recall of the power of the courts to declare void such legislative arts as are forbidden by the constitu tions. State and Federal, v- "What has happened of late to lead 5?. IUXQiusWeb drnce, of shearing them or tne power t onfm-pp the constitution? Surely tial the Judicial standard ' has not -been woreri of late. The cause of the change in public sentiment then is not to be found in the lowering of the ju dard. It had its beginning d irine the Incumbency of the- last President.

Five explo sions in Kansas City, Mo., all directed against iron work contractors who employed men on an "open shep" ba sis, were investigated by the Federal grand jury today, through pelice offi cials of Kansas City, who were said to have, learned facts relative to the identity of v the dynamiters. Only one of the explosions that of August 23rd, 1910, when a bridge was damaged is credited to Ortie McMan- gal. Evidence that one subseauent eijuuBiuu ana mree previous ones were arranged by men other than Mc- Manigal and the McNamara brothers s said to have been eiven the iurv. It was also shown that Kansas City figured in the dynamiters' scheme to have explosions occur in distant cities on the same day, for the blowine uu or a viaduct there on July 26th. 1909. was-simultaneous with the wrecking oy dynamite of a bridge at Steuben- vllle, Ohio.

Sheet: - Chicago, Jan. 25.Counsel for the euvernmem sprang surprise on the defense in the packers' trial today when they produced 34 original week ly summary margin.; 'sheets for the shipments made by tlie National Pack ing Company into the Eastern territo ry between January and August-1910. Steiner G. Langnet, margin clerk for the company, . who was on the stand all day, identified the sheets as having been compiled under his di rection and Attorney Pierce Butler immediately offered them in evidence. The sheets showed the total pounds of . meat shipped each weak" from the different plants of tn National Pack ing Company, together with the work ing and closed margin?, terms used by the packers for the average test cost and selling price of the product The government contends that these sheets were sent to the offices of the company in Chicago , every Monday ana were usea at tne-airectors' meet ings of the National Packine Conmanv each Tuesday afternoon, .when the al leged agreements, in regard to ship ments and margins, were made for the current week. . It is the theory of Attorney Butler of the government's legal forces, that ine alleged comDmatlon in recent years centered its activity in territory "A." which embraced tn.3 cities north of the Ohio river and east of the Mis sissippi, In which the packers shipped 75 per .cent. of the output of the fresh beef. , In several other toarts of the coun try, especially in the West and South, no agreement existed In regard to margins and shipments, except In a few large cities according to thn in formation obtained by the prosecution.

TO HOLD HOME ROLE MEETING Winston Churchill Will Speak at Bel fast Before Ulster Liberal As soclation Regardless of Opposition. London, Jan. 25. Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, has sent a letter to Lord Londonderry, ex-viceroy of Ireland, and one of the Unionist leaders, who are onnosine the proposed home rule meeting, stat ing that he will advise the Ulster As sociation not to Insist upon holding a meeting in Ulster Hall. Belfast, as contemplated on February 8th, but that he intends to deliver a speech somewhere in Belfast on that day. Mr. Churchill says In his letter: It Is my duty tf keen mv ise to the Ulster Liberal Association and assert the rieht of free sneerh in a public meeting. But as the main ob- jwnvjus appear to De directed nroinat the holding of the meeting In 'Ulster nan, i snail ask tne Irish .Liberal As sociation to accede to your wish. There will thus, be no necessity for your friends to 'endure the hnrdahioa of a vigil or sustain the anxieties of a siege. Neither will it be necessary for you to break the law in an attempt to deprive us forcibly of the use of property to which we are lawfully n. titled. "It is not a Point Of anv imnnrtn tiib to me where I speak in Belfast. On tne contrary, I deBine to choose what ever hall or place is least likely to cause ill feeling to the Orange party." me letter concludes; , "It has however, become of imnnr. tance to public liberties .that a meet ing snouid take place at Belfast on February 8th. and I intend tn hold it there in the lawful exercise of the ele mentary rights of citizenship." Mr. Churchill's conciliatory move is calculated to lessen the chances of rioting at Belfast on February Sth. Matters had reached a deadlock, offer ing no escape without the gravest con sequences. . The Ulster Unionists ap peared ready to take any risk to pre vent Mr. Churchill . from speaking in the hall, where his father, Lord Ran dolph Churchll, delivered his famous dictum :."Ulster will fight, and Ulster will be right."- - i 'MORE TROUBLE.
