The committee recommends a classified
ton OF the pending bills 1t says in the
matter of the establishment of a final court
in patent cases:
AT this time 1t is the Judgment of nearly
all patent lawyers, far as they can be
reached, that some provision must be made
% establish final court in patent causes.
Some desire separate patent court-the
majority, in fact, seem to favor that-while
others object to that and would restore
jurisdiction to the Supreme Court of the
United States, on the ground that there
shouid not be final court other than the
Supreme Court for a special branch of law
The American Bar Association has ap-
pointed committee, a decided majority be-
ing well-known patent lawyers, to discuss
the entire question of the present organiZa-
ton of the federal courts That committee
and the committee of this association have
put into the hands Of each of their members
list of bills now pending which affect
the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
TinkerinS of Laws.
These are about threefourths of the
pending bills of this character, and the mere
recitation of the numbers is suggestive of
how much tinkering is aimed at the judi
ciary.
THE subject is one that should not be
urged during the coming second and short
session of Congress. 1t requires the fullest
possible consideration and the widest dis
cussion.
The several associations and the indi-
viduals to whom the subject is vital should
endeavor to reach a conclusion for which
the majority may contend. The petty de-
the bills, should be pushed aside until some
comprehensive scheme is ready for -presen-
tation, perhaps by the time of the conven-
ing of the Fiftysixth Congress"

Such legislation. For example, it is thought

Outcome of Sensational Murder
Case in kausas

HUTCHINSON, Kan, September 26.-E.
c. Clark, prominent member of the Reno
county bar, and who has been known to q
greater or less extent as a writer on eco
ncmic questions, has been found guilty of
manslaughter in the second degree.
This is the first trial in the sensational
Boyd murder case. W. c. Boyd was mur-
deled here on May 19 in the restaurant OF
Mrs. Nellie Postlewait. At the inquest it
appeared that her Oldest son, Harry, had
committed the crime, but Mrs. Postlewait
made a sensational confession, in which
she declared she herself had killed Boyd
Harry later confessed the crime and said
Clark had furnished the weapon and ad-
vised the killing The state claimed as the
motive that Clark and Boyd were rivals
for the smiles of the attractive Mrs. Pos
tlewait.
The trial of Mrs. Postlewait and her two
sons will occur later.
