ATTORNEYS LOSE
SIGHT OF ISSUE
Counsel in Miller & Lux Case
WrangIe Over Proceedings

The $20,000,000 Miller e. Lux estate
again occupied the attention of Judge
Seawell yesterday. Contempt proceed
ings were begun against Henry Hitler,
who owns about half the estate. and
his fellow directors of the corporation,
citing them to show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt
for their failure to pay Mrs. Melissa
Potter the dividends due her. Under
the decision of the supreme court in the
case Of Baldwin against Miller & Lux
the directors Were required to pay a
dividend of per cent This Mrs Pot
ter claims they have not done since last
April. The amount she alleges to be
due her is $22.0 900, while her son, Jesse
Sheldon Lux Potter, asserts the same
sum has been withheld from him.
Considerable acerbity developed be-
tween the attorneys yesterday E. f..
Treadwell. who appeared for Henry
Miller and other directors, made con-
temptuous reply to questionfasked by
Attorney Charles S. Wheeler, attorney
for DR.. AFRO Lewis, which caused
Wheeler to express the hope that the
proceedings were not going to degen-
crate into dog fight Later on Tread
well loudly insisted that Mrs. Potter
and her son wanted the money merely
to use it in fighting Miller and the
other directors Joseph Slye, attorney
for Mrs. Potter, banged the table so
vociferously while replying to this as
sertion that Judge SeaweH had to call
for order In the court.
TreadweH stated that Miller was
willing that the immense estate should
be partitioned. The contempt proceed
ings We're lost sight of in the argu-
ment. Eventually the matter was con-
tinued to Friday next, and in the mean
while the lawyers are to try and agree
upon statement of facts.

FISH LANDS ON DECK

1t has frequently happened at sea in

STANFORD FACULTY
FORMS LAW SCHOOL
Distinct College Like Those on
Atlantic Takes Place of
Graduate Department

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Jan. Ia
The graduate law department of Stan
ford has been turned into a distinct
college. like those of the large institu-
tions of the ktlantic coast. The facul-
ty of the local department has been in
creased recently and the law depart
ment now ranks very high. Professor
Woodward. head of the department. has
outlined what the change will mean
He says:
Under the authority recently con-
ferred by the board of trustees. the
professional course leading to the de-
gree of .juris doctor will be designated
as the Law School of Stanford univer-
Nsity. The undergraduate course lead
ing to the degree of bachelor of arts
will be named. the 'pre-legal course
This involves no change in the OF
ganization of the faculty of the depart
ment nor in the relation of the faculty
to the academic council and the board
of trustees. 1t is simply recognition
of the fact that the graduate work is
of such scope and character as to con-
stitute what is generally known as a
grduate law school.
This also serves to emphasize the
distinction between students who are
taking undergraduate work in the
those who have actually entered upon
their graduate professional studies.
AS in the past. pre-legal majors will
be permitted to count one year of law
toward the A. B. degree. and THIS to
complete their professional training in
six years after entering the university"
Prof. George Hempl of Stanford, who
startled the world by the announce
ment that he had been able to decipher
the old Etruscan Inscriptions and found
that they disproved many accepted
facts" of history, revealed the secret
by which he discovered the key to the
word puzzle in an address before a
large gathering of interested scientists
and members of the local community.
He ascribed his success to the fact
that instead of endeavoring to inter
pret the queer looking characters by
the individual letter or by the phonetic
plan, he had segregated syllab1es and
found that yowels were omitted and
implied after consonants at different
periods.
DIR. Hempl has exhausted the large
amount of data he had compiled, and
of the lives of the ancient people until
further ruins are unearthed. He an
nounced. however. that he had deter
mined that the Etruscans worshiped
gods and had a sacrificial form of serv-
ice. He said his researches had done
more TO determine the language of the
Etruscans than to tell of their actual
habits. The language is now clearly
defined and appears to be similar to the
Umbrian and Sabinic tongues and to
resemble the archaic Latin.
