HARRISON WILL ATTEND.
The President Will Honor the
Scotch-Irish Congress.

The President Will Honor the
Scotch-Irish Congress.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May SO.-Far more
people attended the session of the
Scotch-Irish congress in Mechanical
hall this morning than yesterday. The
hall is so large that, in it
thousand persons seem like small
crowd. Many more than that were
present. Among them were many
ladies. and the society's tri-colored silk
badge, with its seal in gold, was con-
spicuous everywhere. The stage, too,
was better occupied than yesterday,
many members from far away having
swelled the number. There was T. J.
Alexander, secretary of the California
Scotch-1rish society; Rev. DR.. Motfet,
a prominent Presbyterian clergyman Of
Lexington, KY; DR.. Henry Melon
nall. vice president of the Kentucky So
ciety, and others. The meeting was
opened by President Bonner at 1920
o'clock. and after prayer by Rev. DR.. j.
j. Moffatt, president of Washing
ton and Jefferson college, Hon. John
DalZell, of this city, was introduced,
and spoke on 1.-THE Scotch-Irish of
Western Pennsylvania" He was fol-
lowed Hon. w. E. Robinson, of Brook
Ign, who read an interesting paper on
John Preston and His Descendants.
The meeting took a recess until 8
o'clock tonight. In the meantime the
visitors will attend memorial serv-
ices after which they will be shown
about the city. At a meeting of the
committee of the whole, held later, the
following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Robert Bonner, New York; vice
president in general, DR.. j. s. MacIn-
tosh, of Philadelphia; first vice presi-
dent at large, Joseph F. Johnston,
Birmingham, Ala; second vice presi-
dent at large, T. T. Wright.
Nashville, Tenn; vice president
at large for British America, Mr..
Thomas Kerr, Toronto, Canada; secre-
tary, A. G. Floyd, Columbia, Tenn;
treasurer, Lucius Frierson, Columbia,
Tenn. President Bonner then an
nounced the following appointment:
Historian and registrar, Thomas M.
Green, Maysville, Ky. Itwas announced
positively to-day that President Harri-
son had decided to attend the congress
tomorrow. He will arrive from Cleve-
land early in the morning, and, after
reception at 9 O'Clock, will leave on a
special train for Washington.

LEGAL BREVlTY.
A Motion to Repress tho Great
Amount illegal Verbiage.

A Motion to Repress tho Great
Amount ofLegal Verbiage.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
A very important Improvement has
been projected by the Bar association,
but the attorneys are keeping quiet
about it. The scheme is an effort to
slough off that great mass of stupidity
found in deeds, mortgages, ETC., such as
''all the right, title, interest and claim
of, in and to John Smith, to certain"
etc., and get down to nineteenth
century solid business sense. A re-
port is to be made by a committee at
the meeting of the association on Satur-
day.
An idea of the Importance of the work
will be had by considering that the
country records are now incumbered by
a carload of useless paper covered by
verbiage.
The paper cannot even be sent to the
mill to be ground over, as the records
are OF Importance, and vast amount OF
room is necessary to store them. They
cannot be dumped into vault, for they
are necessary to consult daily, and the
number of racks necessary to contain
them suggests that, owing to the num-
Der of financial operations nowadays,
and the probability that they will con-
tinue to grow, the entire court house
will be necessary to hold them before
the end of another half century.
This verbiage is also an expensive
relic of the olden time, as an army Of
transcribers is necessary to keep the
records in shape. 1t is also necessary
to retranscribe them once in century,
unless better paper and 1ndellble ink
be used. A considerable number of
copyists have been at work for months
rewriting the records made previous to
A. D. 1900. When it Is understood that
the records of several years after the
borough of PittSDurg was Incorporated
were contained in single book, and
that at present the record OF q single
days transfers and mortgages might
fill volume, the Importance of brevity
will be understood at glance.
While good lawyers generally. may
admit that there should be reform
in this matter, there are some who
would make the change very carefully
and for good reason. This view is set
forth by Judge Fetterman and j. L..
Black. 1t is that there has been so
much litigation during centuries that
not only every phrase, but word and
even syllable, has been settled by judi
cial ruling, and if the form be followed
and the grantor be competent to grant,
even the gates of perdition cannot pre-
vail against the conveyance. Judge
Fetterman suggests that if the change
is to be made that test case should be
gotten up and have the supreme court
pass upon it.
