sissippi commercial congress began
in Convention hall at 10 o'clock Tues

greatest agricultural farm, the great
est state normal and that it shipped
more fat cattle from it's confines than
any other state in the Union. And
then he urged the necessity of the
development of the sugar industry
in the West
A few years ago they were discuss
ing only domestic commerce at these
congresses. Now the presence of a
half dozen distinguished diplomats
from the Southern continent points to
the enlargement of the outlook. Trans

linary rules of practice, and give due
weight to the later section. Appar-
entity the object of this legislation was
10 prevent the granting of extensions
and the meddling of judges in cases
which they had not tried or which
we're not properly under their control,
and yet in the case of the absence or
inability of the judge who tried the
action, to grant relief, or allow ex-
tensions to be made to deserving liti-
gants. ..,-..
The argument advanced comedies
that if Judge Murphy had gone to
Reno and entered the order in open
court it would have been good, but I'M
Ger this contention if he had stepped
through the door into the chambers
and made it, it would have been void
Orders extending the time for filings
are business usually, or properly
transacted in chambers and under
Section E573 can and ought to be
made as effectually in any part of the
State by the judge having the case in
charge, as if made by him in cham
bers or in open court. Judge Murphy
was merely acting for Judge Curler
during his vacation, but by analogy
the construction claimed, if adopted,
would, in every case where a district
judge dies, resigns OF is succeeded
invalidate the orders extending time
under section 1877 made out of court
by his successor in Office, although
they are Of that character ordinarily
granted in CHAMBERS. This would
mean a distinction and two rules for
fling orders of he same kind,
and that the Judge who had tried the
cause as Judge Curler had done in
this instance. could make the order IN
chambers. while his successor could
SO make it only in the cases tried by
him. and would have to be il court
to make these simple orders extend
ing time in actions which had been
previously tried by another judge.
Appellants desired and were entitl-
ed to the time granted for the pu:-
pose of enabling them to secure from
the court reporter who had left the
State. transcript of the testimony
given on the trial. which would ena-
BILE them to properly prepare the state
ment.
Under Section 1918 Judge Curlar
could have made an order granting
them the extension at any place IN
the State and as during mis- absence
Judge Murphy was requested by the
Court minutes to attend to all bust
ness for him, We conclude that he was
empowered to make the order at Cat
son City as he did. and as Judge Gu"
Ter could have done, and that it wa
not necessary for him to make the triI
to Reno and undergo the Formally o.
opening court to enter ex parte orders
simply extending time, such as ar
usually made out of court.
