GOV. HADLEY Tells WHY HIS
SIGNATURE WAS AFFIXED
TO MEASURES.
Sees CHANGE IN CONDITIONS
New Tribunal is Created at Spring.
Standardization Of Appeals Court
Is Increased s7,5oo-"New
Law Needed"

Kansas City.-Gov. Hadley signed
two bills passed by the Legislature
that were fought by the big corpora.
lions all last winter. One creates a
new court OF appeals with court at
Springfield, and the other increases
the Jurisdiction of the courts of ap.
peals to $500
There will now be three courts of
appeals, one in Kansas City, one in
St. Louis and one in Springfield. with
the state divided into three districts
as nearly equal in population as pos
slble. The court bill was passed six
years ago and vetoed by Gov. Dock
cry. 1t passed again four years ago
and Gov. Folk vetoed it.
In the Dockcry administration there
was an attempt TO increase the juris-
diction, but the railroads were strong
enough to keep the jurisdiction down
below the fixed price they had at
that time to pay for life lost through
thei, negligence.
In signing the bills the governor
took occasion TO tell something about
the condition OF litigation in this state
and how the courts are situated. After
giving figures that show the need OF
another court, II justice Ia to be
speedy, Gov, Hadlcy said in his state
ment.
THE supreme court Of the state Is
now more than three years behind in
its docket. Cases are often held under
adyiscment by that court for six
months, and some cases for more than
one year after they have been finally
submitted
while the Kansas City court of
appeals Is practically even with Its
docket II is the opinion OF many lead
ing practitioners in that court that It
would be advisable II the court did
not have so many cases TO determine,
In order that It could give fuller and
more deliberate consideration to the
cases that II decides.
Conditions lntolerable.
1.-THE condition existing In the SUI
prcmc court of the state is intolerablc,
and clearly In violation of the consti.
tuition, which provides that Justice
Shall neither be delayed nor denied
This condition Of affairs works Pc
culiarly In favor of the defendants in
negligence cases, for the reason that
the poor man who usually is the
plaintiff in this kind of litigation, can
seldom afford to walt the long period
necessary for the determination OF
his case.
And should the judgment be re-
ycrscd through some technical inaccu.
racy, then It often happens that It is
impossible for him to again find his
Witnesses to press his claim. The
result is that this delay in the deter
mination of cases on appeal results
in a practical denial of justice in n
large amount of the litigation in this
state.
There Is no difference of opinion
among the lawyers and the people of
the state that there should be some
correction OF this condition. There is
some difference OF opinion as to how
this correcting should be made"

COTTON MAY Be
MORE PROFITABLE
Fiber May Replace Saccharine
as Best Paying Product
Of the Islands.

Should cotton grow as successfully
when planted generally it does at pres.
ent on the Peninsula. where il is be.
ing experimental with, it will super.
sede sugar as the best paying product
of the Islands.
This. startling information is de.
rived from information received by +.
w. Jordan of Jordan Brothers, who
are carrying on the experiments. They
lately received a letter from a main
land concern, whose name they desire
to withhold, stating that the samples
of cotton produced here which were
sent them will sell for between 80 and
40 cents pound. AS eighteen cents
is good price, the results are exceed
ingly hattering to the local product
The Jordans plan at present is to
sell the seeds to prospective producers
with the understanding that the seeds
of the product grown therefrom will
be given to them after it has been
ginned out from the fiber, Seed has
already been ordered sufficient to plant
a thousand acres exclusive of any cot
ton that the new owners of Lanai
might decide to plant. For the pres
ent no scarcity of seed is expected.
Advice has been received from the
federal experiment station here that
under no circumstances should cotton
seed from the outside be imported and
by using exclusively local grown seed,
the wilt and boll-weevil can be kept
out.
Under the figures received from the
mainland firm, who will act as brokers
for the Jordans, each acre of cotton
will yield a crop netting between $500
and $500.

LIABILITY LAW IS

today declared to be constitutional in
Territories of the United States and
The District of Columbia by the Su-
preme Court of the United States, de-
spite the fact that more than a year
ago this law was declared to be uncon-
stitutional when applied to the States.
The question arose in suit for dam
ages for the death of an employee
named Gutierrez on the Ell Paso &
Northeastern Railroad in New Mexico.
The act to which reference is made
| above was passed June IL, 1906. Dur.
ing the year following many decisions
were rendered by the lower courts, some
holding the law valid, some declaring
1t void. Finally, n Judgment was rend.
cred by the Supreme Court on January
O. 1908, holding that insofar as the
States were concerned the law was un.
constitutional. The court was closely
divided, the vote standing five TO four.
Justice White, who read the decision,
asserted that the act was an invasion
OF States rights, and as such was in
valid. Following this decision, on April
