t To The Editor
| White Named BAUTZER AND JONES TO MEET
London,
6—(INS)—Secretary of*State Stimson tonight made public for the first time the definite American proposal for naval limitation by the United States and Great Britain. In a statement to the press, which embraced all catagories of fighting ships, and which aimed at absolute parity in strength, Stim-| son proposed:
That both nations immediately reduce their battleships to 15 each. This has been the anticipated 1912 quota. It would mean the scrapping of 5 ships by the British and 3 by the United States.
That United States be allotted 18 large cruisers with 8-inch guns, and Great Britain have 15—giving America an advantage of 30,J^0 tons.
That Great Britain be given an advantage of 42,000 tons in small cruisers with 6- inch guns.
As an alternative, in connection with cruiser strength, Stimson suggested that each country have tlie option of duplicating exactly the cruisers with 6-incli guns.
“Thus Great Britain would have the option by reducing its number of small cruisers to increase its large cruisers from 15 to 18 so as to give it a tonnage total which the United States now asks." Stimson declared. On the other hand, the United States would have the option by reducing its large cruisers from 18 to 15, to increase the number of its small cruisers so as to give it a total cruiser tonnage of 339,000, the exact amount of tonnage which the British now ask.''
The head of the American delegation suggested equality in tonnage In destroyers and air craft carriers.
Total abolition of submarines was suggested, but if that does not prove possible the lowest tonnage possible was urged.

Legal
Clinic Assists Many
Handles Over 500 Cases During Semester; Fills Place In Community.
“Over 550 cases have been handled from September 1G to February 5, by the Southern California Legal clinic," said Dr. John S. Brad way, director of the organization. “This makes an average of 29 cases a week, and prcves beyond all doubt that the clinic has found its place in the community,” concluded Brad*
ft y.
The clinic which was organized last September under the directorship of Bradway, secretary of the National Legal Aid Organizations, has been in existance but one semester.
Additions to classes of the organi zation brings the total number of students serving in the night classes to thirteen and the number serving in the day classes to eighteen.
Formerly, the clinic was ope for service from (5:30 to 7:30 each Thursday evening. The day has been changed to Wednesday: the hours however, will remain the same. Tho organization continues its afternoon 8ervice again this semester, being optn from 1:30 to 3:30 every afternoon but Sunday.
Surprise and dismay in the S. C Law school yesterday greeted the announcement that Dean Justin Miller would leave the Trojan legal faculty July 1, to take up his duties at Duke university, North t arolina, as head of thc law department at that institution. A wider range of endeavor and greater opportunities were assigned as thc ♦reasons for the change.
Dean Miller will leave for Duke university immediately upon the close of his term at S. C.f and proceed there to organize the law school, with a free hand and almost unlimited funds, as Duke university has an $80,000,000 endowment fund as a result of a bequest of the late "tobacco king.” The university is located on a three thousand acre campus in north-central North Carolina, midway between the cities of Greensborough and Durham, in what is known as the Piedmont area.
During tho period of Dean Miller’s regime at the S. C. law’ sshool, and mainly due to his efforts, the S. C. Lawr Review, the free Legal clinic, and the S. C. bar association were established. At the Duke university School of Law, Miller proposes to establish the same progressive features, and in addition is planning on much legal research work and on a system of competitive scholarships whereby the best-equipped and most able law students will be attracted to that institution. Ample funds have been available to secure leading teachers of law from all over the country at a salary scale which compares favorably with the highest anywrhere.
Dean Miller will leave the University of Southern California after a stay here of three years, during which period the law school has advanced great strides in progress, as evidenced by the grant of a chapter of the Order of the Coif, legal honorary scholarship fraternity. In commenting on the local school, the Dean stated, “In all my law school experience, I have never known a better student body, and can have no better prospect for success than would result from a similar student body at Duke university.” Among the highlights of Dean Justin Miller’s career, he has served as District Attorney of Kings County, California; as professor of law at the University of Oregon, University of Minnesota, Stanford university, University of California, and Columbia university; secretary of the Minne

“The Chief Justice has taken more nourishment and show’s a most decided improvement than at any time since his return to Washington,” the bulletin read.

The patient is still limited in the number of visftors he is allowed to receive, and during the day it wras reported that opiates w’ere being administered to aid in giving the patient rest.
Two sons of Taft, Charles P., and Robert A., are now’ in Cincinatti, and will not visit the Capital until the week-end .indicating still further that Taft has made rapid strides toward recovery.
During the day the Senate passed a resolution offered by Senator Hor ris (I)) of Georgia, expressing regret “that members of the Senate learned of the illness of former Chief Justice Taft, aud it is hoped he will soon be restored to health.”
