A character ization of the Confederacy as an "In famous cause" by Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, today brought from Senator Williams, of Mississippi, a bitter re buke in the senate.. "But for the par liamentary rules that restrain me," Senator . Williams declared, "I - would have a few words to say about the kind of human-being in whose heart such thoughts can exist." Senator Williams had, aske'd to have "Jim" Jones; an 82 year old negro, who was Jefferson. Pavis' body guard, and in whose custody the sealof the Confederacy was intrusted, retained on the Senate pay roll as laborer.. Sen ator Heyburn acquiesced in retention of the negro for his service formerly given to the Senate "but not because. of loyalty to the glory of an infamousH cause." 1 - Senator Williams replied with great feeling that he was "not prepared to hear a civilized man in the twentieth century call infamous the cause for which his (Williams') father laid down his life." , ; . . "Lee and . Jackson may have been wrong," added Williams, "and the government is now in . existence is cause for congratulation to the chil dren of men who died with Lee and Jackson, but I cannot express the sen timent Iliaye for a human being, in whom such sentiments can remain as have been expressed here." "TJherc , is no right of American, citizenship,",; he added; "that permits a man to insult the dead." . " "Well. Was itf glorious cause?" asked Heyburn.

DeDrecat, ing the fact v . ;she modern American lawyer moves atmosphere of pri vate rather thaipublie service, Gov ernor WoodroW Wils jn, of New . Jei--sey, last night addressed the Kentucky Bar Association on the subject "The Lawyer in Politics." "As one looks about him at the in finite complexities oft the modern prob lems of life, at the great tasks to be 'accomplished by law at the issues of life and. happiness and proseprity in volved, one cannot but realize how much depends upon the part the law yer is to play in the future politics of the country," said Governor Wilson. "If he will not assume the role of pa triot 4&nd of statesman; if he will not lend all his learning to the service of the common life of the country; if he will not open his sympathies to com mon men and enlist his enthusiasm in those policies which wil j bring regen eration to the business of the country; less expert hands than his must at tempt the difficult and perilous busi ness. It will be clumsily done. . It will be done at the risk of reaction against the law itself. It will be done perhaps with a brutal disregard of the niceties of justice, with clumsiness instead of with, skill. "The tendencies, of the profession, therefore, its sympathies, its inclina ions; its prepassessions, its training, its point of view, its motives, are part of the stuff and substance of the des tmy; of the country.. It is these mat itersr rathep than any others that bar associations should eona.der, - for an ual lawyer. It should embody nDt the individual ambition of the practitioner, but the point of view of society with regard to the profession. It should hold the corporate conscience and con sciousness of the profession. It is in spiring to think what might happen if but one great state bar association were to make up its " mind and move toward these great objects with intelli gence, determination and indomitable perseverance." Governor Wilson declared that the technical training of the modern Amer ican lawyer, his professional prepos sessions and his business involve ments, imposed limitations upon him and subjected him to temptations which seriously stood in the way of rendering the ideal service to society which was demanded by the true stand ards and canons of his - profession. 'Modern business in particular, with its . huge " and complicated processes has tended to subordinate him, to make of him a servant, an instrument in stead of a free adviser and a master of justice. ' The speaker said that the training of the modern lawyer in schools appeared to him to be an intensely technical training. Moreover the professions of the modern lawyer were all in favor of his close' identification with his clients, and he seldom thinks of himself as the advocate of society. "His very profes sional loyalty begets in him the feeling that he is the advocate now of this, now of that, and again pi another spe cial individual interest He moves in the atmosphere of private rather than public; 'service. Moreover, he is ab sorbed now more than ever before into "the great industrial organism. His business becomes more and more com plicated and specialized. ,His studies and his services, are apt to become more and more confined to some spe cial field of law. He becomes more and more a mere expert , in the legal side of a certain class of great industrial or financial undertakings. The news papers and the public in general speak of "corporation lawyers" and, of course, the most lucrative business of our. time is derived from the need that the great business combinations we call corporations have at every turn of their affairs of an expert legal ad viser. It is apt to happen with the most successful,1 and by that test the most eminent lawyers of our Ameri can communities that by the time they reach, middle life, their thoughts have become fixed in very bard and definite molds. Though they have thought honestly, they are apt to have thought narrowly; they have not made them selves men of wide sympathies or dis cernment. . : "It is evident what must happen in such circumstances. The bench must be filled from the bar, and it Is growing increasingly difficult to sup nlv the bench with disinterested, un spoiled lawyers,, capable of being the free instruments of society, the friends and guides; of statesmen, the interpret ers of the common life of the people, the V mediators of the great process by which justice is led from one en lightenment and liberalization to an .

"If the, bar associations," said he,, "were to devote themselves with the great knowledge and ability at their com mand.' to the utter simplification of judicial procedure to the abolition of technical difficulties and pitfals, to the removal of every unnecessary form, to the absolute subordination of meth ods to the object sought, they would do a great patriotic service which, if they would not address themselves to it, must' be undertaken by laymen and novices." . He' said that the second and more fundamental ' immediate test of the profession was its attitude toward the regulation of modern business, par ticularly of the powers and action of modern corporations. "It is absolute ly necessary that society should com mand its instruments and not be dom inated by. them. The. lawyer, not the layman, has the best access to the means .by which the reforms of our economical life can be iest and most fairly accomplished. ' Never before in our . history did those who guide af- fairs more seriously need tne assist-1 anceY of - those who can really claim an expert famjliarity with the legal processes by. which reforms may be effectually accomplished.

Washington, July 13. Following closely upon the criminal action against the Retail Lumber Dealers' Associations of the West and the civil anti-trust action against the retailers of the East, the Government has de termined upon a thorough inquiry in to the methods of manufacturing and wholesaleing of lumber. The National Lumber Manufacturers Association, of which Edward Hines, of Chicago, is president and a director, will be one of the first organizations investigated. It has been represented, on behalf of the retail lumber -dealers, who have been under fire by the Government, that the manufacturers were main taining agreements to curtail the man ufacture of lumber, so as to increase tiae demand and prices; that there have been attempts to monopolize the supply of certain kinds of lumber in certain sections of the country, and in some sections a uniform price has been maintained, which resulted in in creasing prices 20 per cent in the last two years in the face of .a decreasing demand. Attorney General Wickersham it is said, intends to push the investigation of retailing and wholesaling methods, while the civil suits against the East ern States Retail Lumber Dealers' As sociation and the criminal, indictments against - fourteen secretaries of as many retail associations of the West are pending. , - Twelve constituent organizations, said to control largely the 1 manufac ture of lumber from logs, compose the National Lumber Manufacturers' As sociation.

Washington, July 13. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, pure food' expert and chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture, one of the most widely known officials in the Government service, has been con demned by the Committee on Person nel of the Department of Agriculture with recommendation to President Taft that he "be permitted tp resign.". Attorney General Wickersham, in his opinion on the case, submitted to the President, recommenas approval' of the committee's action. It is charged against Drl Wiley that he permitted arrangements . to be -made with Dr. H. H. Rusby, recognized pharmacog nosist of Columbia University, New York, for compensation in excess of that allowed by law. It is claimed that the arrangement was to put Rusby on the . Department's pay roll at $1,600 annually as an employe of the Bureau of Chemistry, the ' agreement being made with him that he should be call ed upon to perform only such service as this salary would compensate for at the rate of $20 per day for labora tory investigations and $50 daily for attendance in court. Wickersham held that the law permitted payment of only $9 a day; this sum later being increased to $11. Along with the sug gestion that Dr. Wiley, because of al leged irregularities in the employment of Rusby, be permitted, to resign, the Committee on Personnel and 'the At torney General recommend the dis missal' of Rusby and the' reduction of Dr. L. F. Kebler, chief of the division of drugs, of the Department of-Agriculture. ,The committee further rec ommends that Dr.. .WJXBigloaassJ sistant chief of the Bureau of Chem istry, also be given an opportunity -to resign. : - : - President Taft has not indicated what action he will take on the case. The matter has become public only now, although the investigation was begun last March. Wickersham's rec ommendations in the case bear the date of May 13th. Summing up the situation Wickersham says: "The evi dence submitted by the Committee on Personnel clearly demonstrates, the fact that Kelver and Bigelow entered into a scheme to which Wiley lent his countenance and assistance, to se cure, the appointment of Rusby at the rate of $1,600 annually, under express agreement With him that he was to do no more Work under this appoint ment than would be paid for at the Fate of $20 daily, of 7 1-2 hours, when engaged in laboratory work, and $50 daily when engaged in court. The evidence clearly shows these gentle men resorted to a : scheme to create the appearance of compliance with the law, while' at the same time distinct ly agreeing not to comply with it. Such agreement certainly., merits punish ment and because of the facts set forth I recommend approval by you of the recommendations of the Com mittee on Personnel." President Taft, it was learned, later today forwarded all papers in the case to Dr. Wiley and will take no action until he receives a personal statement from him. It is known that the Presi dent has the highest regard for the pure food expert anfl for his adminis tration of the Bureau of Chemistry. Wiley has been attacked by the "inter ests" almost constantly since the pufe food law went , into effect. He has not resigned and so far there has been no request for his resignation. It is believed that with the publication of the technical charges against him there will be a great wave oi protest against his dismissal. The President before acting on the case is said will grant a hearing to all involved and be guided only by his own judgment. TAFT WILL FOLLOW PATH OF THE OLD SOLDIERS Washington," July 13.
