REVISE THE CIVIL CODE.
This VIII Probably Be Completed
Soon by State Bar Association.

Arrangements are being made for
thorough discussion of the proposed
revision of the code of civil proce-
dure at the coming meeting of the
State Bar association in Topeka.
Judge T. F. Carver, one of the
committee which drew up the revised
code, has communicated with Judge
Geo. A. Vandeveer of Hutchinson
president of the State Bar association
suggesting that the programme of pa
pers be limited SO as to give ample
opportunity for a consideration of the
new code. and this suggestion will
probably be adopted.
The new code was discussed at some
length at the last session of the bar
association, but was submitted to the
legislature in the form If a bill, but it
was so voluminous that 1t did not get
very careful consideration by the
lawmakers. The plan is to have the
State Bar association again investi
gate the work of the revision COM
mittee and place its o. K. upon their
work, so that the bill may be passed
at the next session of the legislature.
A copy Of the proposed revision
will be sent to each member of the
State Bar association, SO that they
may familiarize themselves with 1t be-
fore the meeting.
In addition to the address of Gardi-
ner Lathrop. general counsel for the
Santa Fe railway. there will be an ad-
dress by ]. s. west. assistant United
States district attorney on Lord
Coke" one bv S. R. Peters on "The
old ninth judicial district; incidents
and suggestions" and one by E. d.
Osborn, the dean of the Washburn
law school.

CRUELTY BEATEN IN JAIL
Inoffensive Drunken Indian Nearly
Killed by Vicious Prisoner.

Joe Ignatus, an Indian from the
reservation, got more than his share.
Last night he was thrown into the
keep in a timber drunk condition,
which was in itself a great fndignify.
While inside he was set upon and
beaten to a pulp by Harve Enoch, a
ferocious negro prisoner, who lets off
steam at frequent intervals by beating
up the other prisoners. Although
Enoch beat the helpless Indian with
bucket and then kicked in a rib, the
latter was too drunk to complain. and
his condition was not discovered un-
til this morning. The city physician
took several stitches in the red mans
scalp to patch him up. In the mean
time Chief Eaton, who seems to be
firing of Enoch's brand of vaudeville,
yanked the negro off the rock pile
and locked him in the basement
mouse cage.
The Indian is an inoffensive man,
and is never arrested for anything
but plain drunk. Enoch enjoys the
reputation of being a Killer having
successfully killed one man without
suffering the consequence. The other
prisoners are afraid of him, and did
not report the assault last night.

EIGHT COURTS IN SESSION.
Justice Mills Grind Out Large Grist
In Topeka.

There are few cities the size of To-
peka which can boast of eight courts
in session at the same time. Such
was the case In Topeka yesterday.
Cases were being heard simultaneous
" in the United States district court.
United States circuit court. by a
referee in bankruptcy, by the supreme
court of Kansas, the district court of
Shawnee county, the Shawnee county
probate, court, where several drug
gists were being amputated from their
liquor permits by the State Temper
ance union, in the court of Topeka.
and last, but by no means least in the
city police court.
This much courted condition of the
city occurred to Harry Valentine. who
CHANGED upon several of the august
bodies in session, and then looked up
the others to see what they were
doing.
With conditions such as these. the
200 lawyers of this city should be able
to keep busy.

little of Mr.. Fletcher. He is about tho
youngest lecturer under engagement
with the bureaus for his exclusive time.
He was not through with his college
course in 1900 and has since that time
had successful career as journalist,
and is now looked upon by the bureau
managers as one of the few younger
men in sight who will be able to hold
the lecture platform up to the high
standard given it by Phillips, Emerson
