Until Mr. Taft became a Iuraquunt iigurc in the far east scan ulous conditions had pre- vailed in Shanghai and other cities of China where, the United States exer- cised extra territorial rights. Undeslr- able subjects of the United States, men and women. had degraded the Ameri» can flag by using it as II ciodk under which to conduct numerous nefarious enterprises. American sbnrpcrs. guin- blcrs and promoters of questionable schemes had long worked in conjunc- tion with discredited lawyers to their mutual and illegal gain. instances flit-so criminal endeavors Iverc aided and abetted by American ronsnldr officers, who were dismissml from the service. The former practice of adjudication all causes in which Americans were parties in consular The Amer- ican flag. in Shanghai particularly. stood for national dishonor in the eyes of other nations who by legislation and the creating of proper courts had sounded upon the United States ban- nor. When he was at the head of the Phil- ippine government in Manila .\lr. Taft by his proximity to China soon appre- ciated the seriousness of the coutll tious there and foresaw tho loss of standing in the eyes of the Chinese to which we were Indiffereutly exposing ourselves by our failure to keep in American criminals. lie brought the matter to the attention of the state department and joined with Secretary Root, Representative-Edwiu lieuby of Michigan. a son of the former United States minister to Claim; Charles Den~ by, another son, who is new consul general at Shanghai; Senator Spooncr and some others in an endeavor to ram- edy conditions. He exerted bls influ- ence to obtain the passage by congress of a bill creating the United States court for China. Lebbeus Redmond Wlliiey of Missouri, who had been Mr. 'l‘ui't‘s attorney general in the Philip- pincs. was named as Judge. Mr. Taft from the first took a deep personal interest In the work of Judge \Vittiey and his court. in a way be supervised its work and was frequent- ly appealed to by Judge “‘lliley for ad— \lce us to prmcdurc and other details. The lack of adequate law-s hampered Judge it ilfiey, but by proceeding in a3 cordauce with the common in“ he quickly made the court cdectivc. With- in a few months after the court was organized Shanghai and other cities in China where conditions were such as to require it were thoroughly and dras- tically cleaned Iip. Shysicr American lawyers \vcrc disbarred. so that the gamblers. disreputable women and oth- er offenders against the law were doL [tivcd of legal support. The reputable ’Amerlcun lawyers in good standing aided Judge Wiltley. Heavy lines and terms of imprisonment exercised a de- terrcut effect upon the luwbrcakcrs, many of whom summarily tied from China before the mart could bring them to account for their misdeeds. When Mr. Taft was in Shanghai last fall he was heartily thanked and congratulated by the law abiding Americans there for the part be had taken in removing the stigma from the American flag and restoring the good fame of the national name in the orient. in his speech before the Amer- ican association in China he paid a high tribute to Judge Wliney, saying in part: “Our government was forunate in the selection as the first judge of the court of a gentleman who had had four years' experience in the orient as at. torney general of the Philippines and who went to Shanghai with an int!- mate knowledge of the method of unit- ing in one administratiOn the princi- ples ‘of the common law of the United States With the traditions and condi~ tions of 'a foreign country. His policy in raising high the standard of admis- sion to the bar and in promoting the vigorous prosecution of American vio- lators of law, which eliminated from that community many undesirable characters who had brought disgrace upon the! name of Americans in the ‘cities of China, cannot but commend itself to any, one interested in the good name of the United States among the Chinese people and with our brethren of other countries who live n: China.
