An eminent judge has promuIga-

purpose the expediting Of business.
The bar association of Chicago has in
the main adopted his plan, and IL Is
recommended TO the consideration Of

ness necessitates n saving Of every
possible moment in trial causes. The
rules Of this Indiana judge are not
original with him, for they have been
enforced in this district exactly as
he lays them down since the law Of
March /, 1895, and we understand
that Judge Lewis, Of the central dis
trict, also enforces the same. The
rules in question embody points as
follows: THAT lawyers be inhibited
from indulging in colloquies with
each other in open courts. That lin
itations be imposed as 10 the time
consumed in the argument Of cases.
That no arguments be heard on OBJ
