CANDIDATES FOR THE BAR.
Committee on Examinations Files Its
Report in Court.

The report OF the committee appointed to
examine candidates for admission to the bar
by the Appellate Court during the summer
filed its report today.
The names OF certain gentlemen who took
the examination and who, it was alleged, had
passed the examination, was published in one
paper Of the city, and the inference might be
taken that they only had passed, but young
mans name who in some parts of the examin-
alton stood very high was omitted from the
list published In the paper referred TO.
The names of the gentlemen who passed
very severe law examination with great
credit 20 themselves, as given in the official
report Of the committee, are: Stephen j.
Casey, John j. Dockey, Frank t. Easton,
Albert Gerald. Thomas II. Holton, Joseph c.
Moore, Charles J. O'Connor, Frank Steere,
James J. Nolan, Lefferts ]. Hoffman, James A.
Price and John c. Burke. The number OF men
taking the examination was II and they all
passed.
Mr.. Hoffman, Mr.. Price and Mr. Burke will
not probably be sworn in on Monday next
when the other successful ones are. Mr.. Price
and Mr.. Hoffman have not yet gone through
tho time prescribed by the rules of the court.
Mr. Burkes case has strange feature for he
has not spent the six months term required
in the Office OF an attorney in this state, and
the committee make recommendations in
his case, but the other two gentlemen will be
admitted TO the bar later ON.
The members OF the examining committee
were Judge Albert Il. Greene, Elmer A.
Wilcox and W. A. Morgan.

There has ms yet been no general move
on the part OF the manufacturers toward
the establishment Of free shops, but all
declare that they will go on doing busi-
ness and that declaration, made in the
face of the failure of peace negotiations,
points coDclusiveiy to a long battle be-
tween the contendinR parties7 The sols
fasteners still maintain that they will be
victorious.
