BAR MEETING THIS MORNING..
Lawyers Had Their Tilts To-Day Be
 fore Judge Cowell.

Bar meeting in tue district court room this morning was unusually ln- teresting It was made so Dy Attof- ney Bronson literally challenging the judgment of the court, Judge CoWell. It was during q hearing of a motion 70 place the suit of the Western Realty < Investment company against Louis +. Haase on the jury docket. Judge Peasley, who represents the plaintiH with Attorney Fowler of New Haven, opposed the motion. He claimed that Attorney Bronson, who with Attorney Minor appears for the defendant, had overlooked the time limit and the case could not justifiably beAput on the jury list. Mir Bronson had exceeded his time by several days.
 Judge Peasley seemed to be anxious to avoid the situation which a former deputy judge of the court had slipped into and which brought down the cen sure of the supreme court, and it ap- peared to be MT Bronson's desire to get the deputy judge into this position Judge Peasley said as much as that if the case was put on the jury list he would withdraw his appearance. So the contention went on until Judge Cowell decided the case could not be placed on the jury list, but should be heard by the court. Thereupon At torney. Bronson asked if such was the ruling of the court. Judge Cowell aIl- swered that such was the law and that except ill extraordinary circum- stances in which the court has power to use his discretion, the court would hold to the law. To this Attorney Bronson asked if the court was cap- able to judge what extraordinary cir cumstances would mean. He simply wanted a ruling, he said, and Judge Cowell answered that such was the ruling. Mir Bronson then sat down. but was on his feet again the next moment and announced in tones that could be heard in the lobby that he would challenge MT Peasley's right to appear in the case when it would come up for hearing.
