Addition to Probate Rules.

An addition to the probate rules. while
not a time-saver, embodies important
provisions. Under present practice the
fees Of counsel and the commissions al
lowed to administrators and executors
within the statutory limit, are fixed by
the court without notices to the bene-
ficiaries Of estates, who pay the
freight
The new rule requires that before an
account settling an estate is approved
notice shall be sent to all persons in in
terest stating the amount of fees and
commissions to be claimed. An account
passed without such notice may be re-
opened at the instance Of any party in
tereSted.
The delay now granted by the equity
rules is shortened by the new rules, so
that upon the filing of bill and the
service of process a defendant must ap-
pear in person or by attorney within ten
thereafter. Under the present practice he
has until the first Tuesday of the follow
ing month to appear. and If it happened
that a bill was filed within ten days of
that Tuesday the defendant need not ap-
pear until the first Tuesday of the next
succeeding month. A mere entering of
an attorneys name upon a book in the
clerks Office constitutes an appearance
which no further step can be taken. This
is obviated by the new rule, so that both
appearance and answer are brought
within a calendar month.
Provision for Decree Pro Confesso.
Where no defense is made to a suit In
equity a decree pro confesso may be
entered under the new rules at the end
of ten days. and a final decree at the ex-
piration of twenty days thereafter. Under
the present practice 1t not only takes
much longer to secure the decree pro con-
fesso, but final decree cannot be enterd
until the next term of the court.
The committee on new rules comprised
Attorneys w. Mosby Williams, William
w. MILAN and William Henry White.

AMONG FIRST TO HEED
District Court Responds to
Plea of President Taft.
FASTENING OF LITIGATION
Rules Recently Adopted by the
Supreme Court Justices.
IN OPERATION OCTOBER l
Expedition in Equity Suits Effected.
Procedure in Landlord and
Tenant Gases.
IN OPERATION OCTOBER

The Supreme Court of tne District of
Columbia is among the first of the federal
courts to hearken to the plea of President
| Taft for reform looking to the eXpedltinS
of litigation to final judgment. Beginning
October 1, the court will put into opera
| ton the new rules recently adopted after
| a careful revision by the chief justice and
associate justices of the court of the draft
prepared by a committee of the bar Asso-
citation, which has been engaged for near
" two years in simplifying the modes Of
procedure in the courts with view to
shortening litigation.
| The greatest improvement over the old
rules, as viewed by the layman. is in the
equity practice of which President Taft
lin his Chicago speech complains that 1t
is Just about as clumsy. just about as
expensive. just about as likely to pro-
duce delay as it was thirty or forty
years ago..
The new equity rules are the sworn
enemies of delay. Expedition is stamped
all over them. Where now it requires
from forty to sixty days to compel answer
| to suit for divorce or to other equitable
complaint. after October ! a defendant
| must answer within thirty days. Where
| now the taking of testimony to support
| the allegations of complaint and answer
| is allowed. through professional courtesy
or with intention to avoid. to drag
| throughout months and years the new
| rule limits to ninety days all testimony.
| unless for reasons shown the court, ex-
! tends the time.
Governed by Statute.
| No marked improvement in time saving
occurs in the new rules in reference to
law or criminal practice. Such improve
ment as suggested by the President must
come through legislation, as these pro-
ceedings are governed by statute.
The new rules are boon to the prop
| erty owners whose fractions tenant, by
means of appeal from the municipal court,
may now keep him out of possession of his
| property for many months without any
| meritorious defense to the owners right to
| eject. BY the new rule, should the tenant
appeal, the landlord may file within ten
days an affidavit of merits supporting his
| claim and the tenant will be required to
| make an affidavit in reply, in which he
must set up good grounds Of defense,
otherwise judgment may be secured
against him summarily and writ Of dis
| possession follow.
When it is remembered that under the
present practice a tenant may without any
substantial grounds delay landlord for
more than year at times in securing pos
| session of his property, the beneficial and
| far-reaching effect Of this new rule will at
once be seen. The limit Of the delay pos
sible under the new rule will probably not
exceed thirty days.

CREEL AND AUSTIN IN
Surround EXHIBITION

A six-round boxing match, no de-
cision, between Lonny Austin, box
ing instructor of the Seattle Ath-
letic club, and Fred Creel, instruc-
tor at the S. A. A. c.. is an added
attraction for the O'Connell-M atsu-
da championship wrestling bout
which Cisco Bullivant of the S. A.
A. c. is planning to stage in this
city during the Apple Show week.
These men are among the clever
est in the northwest, and a boxing
exhibition by these masters would
prove a great drawing card,
Bullivant intends taking up the
matter with the club officials
within a day or two and will then
be in a position to make defin-
tie announcement as TO date, etc.
Matsuda, the 145-pound Japanese
wrestler who has been seen to
such good advantage in several
bouts in this city, has been after
a match with O'Connell, the 145'
pound champion, for some time.

SHORT SHAVINGS

I'VE get a lot Of queer requests
up here said an attendant at the
library the other day. "A large per-
centage of them come from club
women who have been assigned to
prepare a learned article.
For instance, woman came in
here last week and asked for some
thing that would explain the In
fluence of Egyptian religion on
Judaism and Christianity Now
what do you think of that?''
A young woman out Mantle
way, who takes much pride in her
facial fitness, was greatly per-
turbed one evening last week to
discover that a cold sore was
forming on her upper lip. She
hurried to her dressing table,
where she kept her array Of pow
ders and lotions, bent on checking
its further growth by an applica-
ton Of cold cream.
But, alas!
The ointment brought a sharp,
singing pain. Corn cure, not cold
cream, was being applied.
Down on Sprague avenue there
are several places where the edge
can be taken from the sharpened
appetite. One sign seductive
suggests:
DO yur eatins her"
Another reads:
"Potatos pork and bens."
This attorney and his wife
agreed before he left home that
she should drive downtown after
him that evening in the big car

Wanted
200 Boys to Sell
The Press

The Spokane Press wants good,
live boys to sell the Press upon the
street after school hours. Every
boy who is selling on the street is
making good money. One street
seller, Floyd King, has placed to
his credit in Spokane bank
$22.20, the result Of Press sales on
the streets covering a period of 20
days. Any other hustler can do
the same. See Charles, The Press,

onds to find out whether or not the
other man is alive.
That is my opinion about this
bout. Johnson will play his man
out and then, having been running
and falling down about II times,
Johnson will rise up and slap Jeff
ries in a tender place. There are
several-especially when you get
tired. If the opponent catches you
when you are tired and gasping-
it is just under the typhoid pro-
cess. If you in gasping should drop
your jaw it is glancing blow just
under your lower lip. Another
point which no pugilst of good
taste would land. on is just behind
the ear-on the mastoid process
if we must use professional jargon.
Now, my feeling is that Johnson
will wait until Jeffries gets tired
enough to gasp.
And then
That is what Johnson did to poor
Burns. That is what he did to that
splendid fighter-Ketchel; and
that, | guess, is what he will do to
the "Invincible."
Jeffries is physical wonder. But
Johnson is also a wonder. 1t is

were but some OF the letters his wife
had received. They came into the
possession of the husband through
Frank Bishop, an old man whom Mrs.
Walter, in her ignorance of the Eng

the wife seekers. Bishop wrote sew

with the idea that it was a very i'm
proper thing to do, he handed the let
ters to Walter.
The Walters were married in New

theory about the relations of friend

they should be enemies than that they
should be good friends" she says, and
it is fatal TO good playing If they are
really in love with each other. Under
those circumstances" she says, the
woman is bound to hide the evidences

the result is a bad performance, be-
cause no woman with proper instincts
