Building: AMERICAN BAR A Improvement of the Law From W Popular Criticism Was Key: WASHINGTON. Ort. 2?.?Improve mont of the law from within to stem the present tide of popular criti cism was tho keynote of the first day's session of the American Uar association here. i'resident Wilson iti his address of welcome pleaded for tho humanizing of the law by incorporation of more Justice and less citations In legal eases. Former President Taft, speak ing to the Judges of the country, fathered for the first time in the history of the country in formal meeting, emphasized the necessity for removing delays in litigation. As sociate Justice Mclteynolds, of tho Supreme court, urged the judges to give more attention to public opin ion. At to .ight's session of the bar as sociation proper, Senator Elthu Hoot. In spenking of "the laymen's criti cism of the lawyer." suggested raw-. yers should apply the rules of evl-. deuce with more regard to common j sense, and might well avail them-. selves of expert assistance. < I The day's program was concluded j tonight with a reception In tho Pan-1 American building, at which Chief < Justice White und associate justces i of the supreme court were ho3ts. Re ports or commiltecs and a pilgrim-! mage to Mount Vernon will feature I tomorrow's program. j Before the,Judicial section, former, President Taft, lu his second speech j of the day, said ho felt at home, al though there had been un "interven ing purgatory" since ho himself was a judge. Ho told the judges that un iformity In decisions was (juite as important as Individual justice. Mr. Taft suggested that depend ence on stenographers had led to much delay In the disposition of eases. He urged that most cases in the courts ho disposed of at the end of arguments. Justice Mclteynolds, in urging th? judges to become greater afllnuatlve forces in the enforcement of the law, said delays in courts frequently rob bed cases of the fruits of the decis ion. As attorney general, the Jus tlce Bald, he started out with tho Idea that ho would conduct the gov ernment's' business as that of a pri vate client. Ho soon found ho was mistaken, he declared, apd becamo convinced tho thing to do was to. give tho public ft fair Idea of what ho into..Jed to do and r. judicious no tion of whs.* success was being at-j talned as he proceeded. In some way, ho added, tho Judges glvo to J tho people an Idea of what they arc. seeking to accomplish and how they are succeeding. "In some Buch way we may turn ' rt.o Udo of opposition to tho judiciary) of the last ten years," he conolud- ' cd, "and find ourselves once more In trenched in the confidence of tbe people." . . The Judicial section discussed the part judges might well take In ref orenco to legislation affecting . the courts. Governor Baldwin of Connecticut, addressed the Comparative Law Bu reau and Edmund. Wetmore of New. York, spoke to the'Patent section on "Some Present Aspects of the Pat ent Law." President Wilson in his address said the world was now "stirred to ! its depths" but that the best cours? for n nation to pursue was the dls ?ui?fesiui? part. Ho - auucu that the unsettled world conditions made a good time for freeing the law from the dry consideration of cold prece dents and injecting into' it more of the viewpoint of- justlco for tho ordi nary man. _ "Wo stand now In a. peculiar case," the president continued. "Our first thought, I supposo, as lawyers Is of Intornatlonjal Paw. We know that we Bee In International law, as It wore, tho moral processes by which law itself camo irfeo existence*. I know that as a lawyer I have' myself at times ' felt that there was no real comparison between the law. of a na tion and the law of nations, because tho latter lacked tho sanction that gavo th? "'former strength and valid ity.. And yet If you look Into the mat ter morei closely, you will find that the two havo tho same foundations and that those foundations are more evident... and conspicuous In our day than thejl over havo been before.

I should hate to think that the law did not derive its irapuhe from look ing forward rather than from look ing backward, or rather, that It did not derive Us Instruction from look ing about and seeing what the cir cumstances of man, actually are and what the impulses of Justice neces sarily arc. , "Understand me, gentlemen, 1 n.m not venturing in this presence to im peach the law. But I do wish to make this intimation, that in this time of world change, it 1b worth while looking inside our municipal law and seeing whether the moral judgments of mankind are made square with everyone of the judg ments of law itself. For I bellve that we are custodlane, not of eommhnds, but of a spirit. We arc custodians of the spirit of righteousness, of the spirit Of equal-handed Justice, Of the spirit of hope which believes In the perfectibility of the law with the perfectibility of human life Itself. "You can not go any faster than you can advance the average moral Judgments of the mass, and you can go, at least, ds fast- sb that. I have dealt wth all sorts and conditions of men, and I have found that the flame of moral judgment" burned juat as bright in the man of humble life add limited experience as in the schola and the man of- affairs."

When the heavy boards were pulled off of them and. physicians* present had revived them with water and anesthetics, It was discovered they were all alive, hut more or less injured and frightened. Fortunately no one was underneath tho stand as the fair had just begun and all were watching the entries. After order had been restored and the injured carried to the Julia Irby hospital, the doctor's offices and pri vate homes, the fair directors pro ceeded with the program as they felt they could do ' nothing towards the relief of tho Injured.

Auto mobile owners made improvised am bulances of their cars and assisted in getting the wounded to places whero they could be treated.
