The American Bar Association held
its annual meeting this year in the
city of Seattle, Washington. A por-
ton of their proceedings are of more
than usual interest to the critics who
have been complaining of the unnec-
essary delays and expense in legal pro-
ceedings
It will be remembered that Judge
Amidon of Minnesota gave an address
last year in which he advocated
amendments to statutes of appeal
which have attracted attention
throughout the United States. His
suggestion was embodied in a message
to Congress by President Roosevelt.
On August 26 last the members of
the association at Seattle, after a warm
discussion, adopted the report of
committee which recommended that
Congress be asked to pass a bill to
prevent delay and unnecessary cost in
litigation. The vote stood 60 to %,
and the association authorized a spe,
cial committee to present the proposed
bill to Congress with the recommends
ton of the association for its passage.
The gist of the proposed new law
is contained in a proposed amendment
to Section 1161 of the Revised Stat
utes of the United States. Section l
reads as follows:
"No Judgment shall be set aside or
new trial granted by any court of the
United States, in any case, civil or
criminal, on the grounds of misdirec-
ton of the jury, or the improper ad-
mission or rejection of evidence or for
error as to any matter of pleading or
procedure unless in the opinion of the
court to which application is made,
after an examination of the entire
case. it shall aflirmatively appear that
the error complained of has resulted
in miscarriage of Justice.
Mr.. Everett H. Wheeler of New
York. who presented the report, eX-
planned that the proposed legislation
was to prevent the allowance of APP
peals on purely technical grounds, thus
putting the ltigant to the expense and
bother of a new trial when no matter
of merit was involved.
Section of the act provides that
Section 700 of the Revised Statutes of
the United States be amended by add
ing at the end the following:
HNo writ of error shall be issued
in any criminal case unless a justice OF
the Supreme Court shall certify that
there is probable cause to believe that
the defendant was upiustly treated. -
Other sections refer to habeas corpus
and appeals, and were similar in pur-
port Mr. Everett explained that the
object of these last sections was to
cut off appeals in criminal eases ex-
cept where matters of actual prejudice
are involved.
The second section of the proposed
bill produced heated controversy, and
because of the opposition to this sec
ton. as impractical and giving too
great discretionary powers to the
nudge. it was recommitted TO the com
mittee for report next year.
The section not adopted reads as
follows:
Section 2-Seetion GAS of the Re
yised Statutes of the United States Is
hereby amended by adding at the end
thereof the following:
'eThe trial Judge may. in any ease,
submit to the jury the issues OF fact
arising upon the pleadings, reservine

case for subsequent argument and decl- ,

a new picture-rOek has been discov-
cred on the Island of Kauai. A rock
on the shore of Nawiliwili near the
lighthouse, when closely scanned, re-
veals the outline of a man s face, and
the accompanying illustration shows
its prominence, although after its dis
covery the outline was featured in
paint, so that the pictured face now
looks like a mask.
Lighthouse-keeper John OLaughlin
gives the story of the discovery as fol-
lows:
"Mrs. Waterhouse was out at this
station about a month ago, accom-
panied by young lady. They were
looking over the lighthouse and the
site, when suddenly the young lady
said:
50 Look at the mani and all hands
commenced to rubber-neck, but no one
else could see a man anywhere until the
young lady pointed. And sure enough,
there was a mans head outlined on q
rock, formed, no doubt, by the action
of the wind and water. 1t was close
to the lighthouse. l have been here
four years, and never took notice of it
before I at once set to work and
painted the face white and the cap
blue, with a dash of red, and we called

Cost Of Mine Tjmters.

The cost of every ton of anthracite
is increased eight cents by the ex-
pense OF the mine timbers. To sup
ply these timbers, says the Vegeta.
rian Magazine, requires each year
the product of approximately 100000
acres of forest.
Timber Is used for cross ties for
tram roads in the main haulage ways,
as wooden rollers and as props. A set
OF gangway timber consists of two
legs, commonly nine or ten feet long
and about IL inches in diameter, and
a collar six or seven feet long. These
sets are placed on an average at in.
tervals OF five feet; one gangway fire..
quently contains 1000 sets, and ten
gangways to a coliery is not an UNI
usual number.
The average life of the timber is
hardly above two years. Forty.five
per cent of the timbers are DESTROYED
by decay. while breakage, wear and
insects destroy the remainder BY
peeling the timbers and properly sea
soning them and especially by giving
them treatment in oils or chemical
salts, their length of service is materi
ally increased.

This coin was minted some 1000
years ago at the city of Philadelphia,
in Asia Minor, where, as we know.
there grew up in later years one of

some years ago in Europe by a Mr..

HAD TO BE MORE EXPLICIT.
Dear Grandpa" Conveyed Little to
Post Office officials.

A member of the Yale basketball
team which played here a night or

three figures--from his grandfather
who lives in New Jersey town. The
check, as a matter of fact, was a fake

here with the team. But fake or W

He raced right across the Hollenden
lobby to the telegraph desk, the min.
ute he saw the size Of the check, and
wrote out telegram as follows:
Dear Grandpa, -, New Jersey.
Thanks very much for check This is

1t just that way.
Then he hustled into the writing
room to thank grandpa more fully by
letter
While lie was preparing the letter a

A curious memorial of the tyrant
Solano Lopez. who wasted and depopu.

stands in the city Of Asuncion, the
capital of the republic. 1t is the large
and imposing mausoleum that he built
for the ultimate housing of his body.
But 1t was never used for that pur-
pose. When Lopez was overtaken and
killed as he was fleeing his enemies
did not care to give him decent
burial

or, who has just written book on
Paraguay says that it puzzled the peo-
pie to decide what to do with the
