Saturday last promulgated an order af-
fectlng the bar examinations for the
June term. As the new rules for admis-
sion to the bar were only compiled at
the end OF March some of the restrictions
are to be suspended. The announcement
is as follows:
Ine new rules of the supreme court
respecting admission to the bar were
promulgated March a. 1909, and took
effect Immediately. The preliminary
examination TO be held in May, and the
bar examinations of the coming June
term, will be the first occasion on which
the new rules will apply. AS the inter
vening time for preparation is not long,
the board of bar examiners deems il best
to make as few changes in the conduct
OF the examinations for the application
term as it may, while conforming to the
rules.
The board of examiners, therefore
makes the following announcement for
the information of candidates for the
June term, 1909, only.

be held in each county of the state on
the first Friday and Saturday of May at
the time and places at which county ex-
