LAWYERS OF ILLINOIS go
ARE OUT FOR REFORMS

Members OF the Illinois State Bar
association at its annual meeting to
be held July Il and Is in Chicago.
will report in favor. of a revision of
the state constitution. reforms in the
habeas corpus act, and important
changes in the law relating TO sales
of real estate under judgment. Other
reforms of a more or less vital ma
ture will he advocated, such as added
requirements for a legal education,
ethics of the bar, and compulsory
arbitration.
There will be an attempt at the
meeting on the part of the strong
minority to induce the Association to
declare in favor of the code" sys-
tenn of court pleading, and the aban-
donment of the common law system
now in force in this state. Illinois
is one of the few states that retain
the common law system.
Next in Importance will be the dis
cussion of the advisability of calling
a constitutional convention. The re-
port TO be made by Sigmund Zeisler
will favor a convention.
Judge Holdom will address the assoc
citation on habeas corpus reforms and
a change in the real estate law. He
will recommend that in habeas cor
pus proceedings either the person
incarcerated or the people may APP
peal to the supreme court. As the
law now stands Il person desiring re
lease on habeas corpus may petition
Il circuit judge and try all the other
circuit Judges in turn. thus expert
l.
In the case of the sale of real es-
tate under an execution or decree
for mortgage foreclosure, the assoc
citation will advocate that no sale he
made until one year has elapsed af-
ter the Judgment. Such sale would
not be subject to redemption, and
would thus induce competitive bid
ding.
y new negotiable Instruments
law will also be advocated in order
to adjust the Illinois law with that
of about twenty of the other states.
All the states containing the great
commercial centers, except Illinois.
have adopted a uniform law which
simplifies suits for the collection of
notes and similar papers drawn and
indorsed in different states.
The subject of compulsory arbitra-
ton will be handled by Judge Murray
+. Tuley. y report on the revision
of the corporation laws of Illinois
will be given by Adolph Moses, and

Another Naval Inquiry.

Rear Admiral Crowninshield. an
other administration favorite, is on
the rack. Secretary Moody. of the
navy. has been obliged TO take cog
niZance of the recent accident that
befen the magnificent new battle
ship Illinois whose steering. appara-
tus gave way as she was steaming
the marrow Christiania channel.
Not since the Schley inquiry, says
a Washington dispatch, have naval
circles been as stirred up as when
the cable dispatch was received from
Rear Admiral CrOwninshield to the
effect that he had run the battIeship
Illinois aground in Christiania har-
Dor and that. the vessel was so badly
damaged that it would have to be
put in dry dock
Closely following upon Secretary
Moody's trenchant criticisms of the
policy of placing in command of
large and important vessels men
whose knowledge of matters nautical
is confined TO an office desk, the ac-
cident to the Illinois has caused
much unfavorable comment upon the
seamanship of certain officers of the
Crowninshield in particular. There
are those who do not hesitate to say
openly that whatever knowledge Ad-
miral Crowninshield may possess he
is incompetent as a navigator. ans
these point to the former court of in
quiry to which he was subjected
when in command of the Maine. when
only the personal influence of his
friends saved him from severe cen
sure.
1t was in 1897 that this court of in
quiry was held. At that time Crown
inshield, then Il captain, was in COM
mand of the battleship Maine of the
North Atlantic squadron. \ squad
ron under command of Admiral Bruce
was engaged in maneuvers off the
harbOr of Charleston, $. C., and the
manner of the handling of the Maine
raised much criticism. Admiral
Bruce made inquiries and found the
state of affairs upon the vessel to be
so deplorable that he convened a
court of inquiry.
This consisted of Admiral Schley.
then a captain commanding the flag
ship New York, and two other Off
GERS. In Investigating the conditions
on Crowninshield's ship they found
that there was no oil on board and
the engines were being racked to
pieces. They also found the crew
almost on the verge of mutiny owing
to the dictatorial manners of the
commander, and diligent search re-
vealed absolute ignorance and in
competency on the part of Crownin-
shield.
Capt. Schley, as he was then known.
did not hesitate to say so, but the
other two officers, knowing the pow
erful friends Crowninshield could
bring to his support and also wishing
to uphold the honor of the navy, ac-
quilted him. The department was
notified, however, that Crowninshield
was not fit to be in command of
ship, and in view of his political and
social pull he was assigned to duty
with the bureau of navigation. and
from his office desk conducted the
persecution of his former superior
and critic, Admiral Schley.
Crowninshield's defense will be
based upon the alleged defect in the
steering gear, which rendered the
vessel unmanageable. At all events
ne will probably be declared free
from blame, as he stands high in the
good graces of the administration.

\ Delightful Entertainment.

The new public school at Groom Sta
ton, this county, in which Miss Blanche
Hyatt, of Mitchellville, is teacher, was the
scene of delightful entertainment and
much enjoyment last Friday when the
closing exerciaes were held and the hap
Nv children were loosed for vacation.
Happy in that prosperous year had been
spent and that their parting memory OF
the school was such sweet one-the
house was crowded with scholars. patrons
and many friends.
The children entered in perfect order
by march rendered by Miss Bette Peach,
who also played the Accomplishments to
the musical part of the program. Miss
Myra Duley delivered the opening adj
dress, welcoming all in most cordial
manner. Then followed the Rotations,
dialogues and singing. Almost everyone
had something to do in reciting or singing
and they did it nobly. All deserve spe-
cial mention, but the features that drew
the greatest attention were solo, by Miss
Lille Duyall, and a lullaby, by little Miss
Wells to her doll. National airs sung at
intervals by the school added much to the
bright program, and after the closing adj
dress by little Miss Hook, all Joined in
maryland, My Maryland" as parting
token.
Refreshments-cream and cake-were
then served on the school lawn and were
thoroughly enjoyed, especially by the
children, who considered this by no means
the slightest feature of the days program.
After the entertainment the Trustees
held meeting and unanimously decided
to ask Miss Hyatt to accept the school for
the ensuing year. Miss Hyatt took the
teachers course at the Laurel High School.
She has on roll in her school about thirty
scholars with daily average of about
twenty five. This was her first year at
teaching and it speaks loudly for her
merit May her next be rs successful.

Canned Fruit for families.

For small family of two or three, the
greater part of the fruit should be put up
in pint jars, as it is always better to open
only as much as will be required for imme-
date use. For family of half dozen
quart jars, and two quarts for larger
households. Only the best granulate d
sugar should be used, AMI the proportion
of half a pound to a pound of fruit will be
found sufficiently rich to be delicious,
and altogether more wholesome than the
old rule of ''pound for pound" Sweet
fruits may be done with even less if de-
sired, and many fine cooks use no sugar
at ALL contending that the natural flavor
of the fruits is best preserved without it.
