NASHVILLE, March 25.-The COM
mittee on judicial reform this morn
ing presented lengthy report, set
ting forth at length all the facts as
certained in the very thorough in
vestigation made by the committee.
The plan was adopted of securing
facts as to the work done, both be-
fore and after the Jarvis law had
gone into effect. Comparison
showed that there had been a de-
crease in business reaching as high
as 65 per cent. The decrease in
business in the criminal court of
Davidson county was Al per cent;
in Knox county, 46 per cent; in
Shelby county, 30 per cent.
The committee presents tabulated
statements of the decrease of busi-
ness in all the chancery divisions
and judicial circuits, with the num-
Der of days each judge sat during
the year. It was shown that some
of the judges were busy only about
one-third of their time.
AS to the court of chancery ap-
peals, the committee quotes de-
cision of the supreme court that it is
a constitutional court, and then by
presenting facts and figures as to
the number os cases heard and the
time saved to the supreme court,
it is shown that the supreme court,
even with the assistance given, had
all the work it could do. 1t is recon-
mended that the Court of Chancery
| Appeals be retained.
The committee concludes as fol-
lows:
upon these facts the committee
is unavoidably driven to the con-
clusion that there are more courts in
the State, under the present arrange
ment, than are necessary to trans
act the business, and have decided
I to suggest the following as a proper
solution of the difficulty. The COM
mittee deems it best to redistrlct the
state into chancery divisions and
| judicial and criminal circuits, to
/ take effect in 1902, so as To avoid the
necessity of appointing the neces-
sary judges until the next general
/ election, and for the present to abol-
ish such courts as may be unneces-
/ sary for the transaction of the busi-
ness now to be done and appOrtion
/ the work heretofore assigned to
these courts, "a equitably as posi-
4 ble, amongst the remaining circuits
/ aud divisions of the state. The
committee therefore recommend
that the following courts be abol-
ished: The Twelfth chancery di-
vision, the criminal court of kaox
county, the Third judicial circuit,
the criminal court of Montgomery
cOunty aud the criminal court Of the
Eleventh judicial circuit; and No.
cf the Eleventh chancery division,
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1899-03-31

which, upon the recommendation of
this committee, has already been
abolished by an act of the present
general assembly; the Nineteenth
judicial circuit. The committee a.
so recommend that the Second cir
cult court of Davidson county be
the bill abollshing this
court, however, not to take effect
until Sept. /, 1902, its existence in
the meantime being regarded as
necessary to the committee. The
committee is satisfied that after the
foregoing courts have been abol-
ished there will then be left remain
ing a sufficient number to do The
work of the state, and to abolish
these will result in the saving to the
state annually, until the redistrct-
ing bill takes effect in 1902, $26,250,
and under the redistricting bill
there are ten chancery divisions
instead of twelve chancery divisions
as now constituted, and twelve
judicial circuits, instead OF nine
teen judicial circuits, now as con-
stituted."
This is signed by Senators Jarvis,
Meeks and Bell and Representa-
tives Kinney, Lassing, Mckenzie
and Peck.
Bill in Preparation.
The committee has in preparation
bill to give two of the counties in
the Nineteenth circuit Judge Grigs-
by) which is to be abolished to Judge
Childress, one to Judge Bonner and
the other one not yet decided upon.
The encouragement of the Tenth
circuit will be required to serve in
Dickson and Hickman counties; the
attorney. general of the Ninth cir
cult attorney General Boyd) to
take Williamson county, and the
encouragement of Davidson
county to take Cheatham county.
These arrangements are temporary,
however, the general bill to take
effect in 1902 redistricting the whole
state.
Redistricting Bill.
But little business of Importance
was transacted in the Legislature
Monday.
The Committee on Redistricting
the State reported redistricting
bill to the House. The bill specifies
that the Eleventh Judicial Circuit
(fOrmerly the Ninth, shall comprise
the following countless: Maury
Giles, Lawrence, Wayne, Lewis
Perry and Hickman. Hardin coun-
ty, formerly on this circuit, is placed
on the Twelfth circuit.
Senator Thompson introduced q
bill to impose penalties for failure
to promptly pay insurance losse:
and providing that when an insur
ance company refuses to pay loss
sixty days after "a demand is made
by the policy holder, the company
shall be liable in addition to loss %
per cent. on the liability of sale
company for said loss. Also all rea
sonable attorneys fees for the prose
cution of the case against said in
surance companies.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March "a
Judicial reform in Tennessee is to
be accomplished through the means
of single-shot bills, despite efforts of
Office holders who are opposed to
this reform. The second Chancery
Court of Shelby county has been
abolished, and the Senate to-day
passed bills abolishing the Criminal
Court of the eleventh circuit (Tay-
lor's) and the Criminal Court of
Knox and Sewer counties. The
house later passed the Knox court
bill as it came from tie senate. The
judicial reform committee to day in
troduced a number of bills in both
houses. One bill is to abolish tho
nineteenth judicial circuit, composed
of the counties of Hickman, Dick
son, Cheatham and Wilson, and
presided over by Judge Grigsby.
Another bill is to abolish the Crimi-
nal Court of Montgomery county,
and provides that the act shall take
effect thirty days after final ad-
jonrnment of the present general
assembly. Judge Tyler presides
over this court, the State paying
$l,250 and Montgomery county the
same amount of the judges salary.
Another bill is to abolish the third
judicial circuit, composed Of Blount,
Loudou, Roane, Morgan, Fentress
and Scott counties, presided over by
Judge s. A. Rogers of Loudon
county. Another bill is to abolish
the twelfth chancery division, COM
posed of Sullivan, Hawkins, Ham
bleD, Granger, Claiborne and Hau-
cock counties, H. g. Kyle being the
| chancellor.
Another bill introduced by the
committee provides for the abolish =
ment of the offices of attorney
general and assistant attorney
general from Knox county, E. t.
Mynatt and r. A. Mynatt holding
the positions; attorney-general OF
the third judicial circuit, F. D.
Owens; Encouragement of Mont
gomery county, Thomas F. Martin
attorney-general of the nineteenth
judicial circuit, Blake Leech.
A bill was passed in the House
making prize lighting with or with
out gloves, a felony.
The house had a long discussion
over the bill providing for distribu-
tion among medical colleges of the
State of the unclaimed bodies of peo-
pie who die in penal and charitable
institutions. The bill failed for
want of a constitutional majority,
reconsider was entered.

"sILYER DICK" BLAND
Writes To a Kentucky Paper His Ideas
of the Issues In 1900.
Tuortford uarald

Anxious to know the opinion of
Ohio county's favored son in Con-
gress, Hon. Richard Parks Bland,
upon the current issues of the day
and the prospects of Democracy in
particular, we wrote to him, with
the request that he enlighten us and
the readers of the Herald through
its columns. The following is his
reply:
"House of Representative U. s.,
Washington, ID. c., March 10, lS99.-
Heber Matthews, Editor Hartford
Herald.-My Dear Sir: The issue in
1900 will be the money question.
The Democratic party will, no doubt,
renominate Mr.. Bryan and readOpt
the Chicago platform, especially
that part that favors the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of Is to of
gold. When this platform is an
nounced it will make sharp issue
that will overthrow all others. There
is a greater necessity for a broader
basis of money now than there has
been heretofore. Our national debt
has been largely increased by the
is suing of bonds by Cleveland and
Mckinley. Our taxing system has
become very enormous, and eXtrav-
agances of the Republican party in
apprOpriatlng money require inn
mense exactiOns from the people in
the way of taxes. IL the Mckinley
programme of colonization ana the
ruling of colonies by the military Is
to be carried out, the burdens that
will be heaped upon the people will
require an immense expenditure OF
money. The policy of the Republi-
can party is enormous taxation and
at the same time contraction OF the
currency.
The people demand more money
and less taxation, aud this, ia ms
opinion, will be the winning cry In
1900. Yours truly.

THE belief is expressed at the
War Department that the Filipinos
are manufacturing the ammunition
that is being used with such reck-
lessness. When Mai. Gen. Greene
was in the Philippines he went to
the Filipino camps and remained
some time among them. His report
to the President shows that the Fill
pinos obtained quite large supply
of arms and ammunition when Dew
ey captured Cavite, and that they
had heretofore obtained a supply of
Remiugtons and Mausers. Gen.
Greene also found that the Filipinos
had established "A factory for the
manufacture Of ammunition Tor
these rifles, and this factory proba-
bly, is still in operation and furnish
ing a sufficient supply to the insurg-
euts.
