WILL CHANGE
COURT PROCEDURE
French Minister of Justice to
Follow Anglo Saxon Pre-
cedents
THE JUDGE AS PROSECUTOR
However, Civil Law Excels Com
mon and Code Methods in
Some Particulars.

Paris, Nov. 10.-At the conclusion
of the Steinheil murder case, the Min
lister of Justice Barthoud will propose
certain changes of procedure in the
courts of France. This decision of the
minister was Influenced largely by the
criticism. expressed in the United
States and England of the methods
now in vogue, by which the presiding
judge appears in the role of prosecu-
tor. 1--WE would restrict the preroga-
tives of the Judge to a practice more in
keeping with that of the courts of
Anglo-Saxon Countries said the min
lister today. The general method OF
court procedure, however, will not be
changed and 1t is the opinion of many
American lawyers here that in civil
cases the French system permitting
the introduction of indirect testimony
and even of the opinion of witnesses,
frequently enables the judge to arrive
at a conclusion more certainly just
than does the practice of similar
courts in the United States and Eng
land.

MAKING DIVORCES
DIFFICULT IN OKLAHOMA. \.
-Threadbare Reasons Such as incon1-

ceEted as Grounds.

Guthries, Okla, Nov. 10.-Taking eX-
,ccptions to the granting of divorce ON
trivial grounds and declaring that
the marriage tie will not be dissolved
except for grave and substantial
cause" the supreme court today made
it difficult to get a divorce in Okla
homa.
The opinion holds that when action
was predicted On extreme cruelty
there must be actual or imminent
physical violence and that incom
patibility" is not suffice ground for
divorce.
1t continues:
Husband and wife are bound to
exercise greater efforts for removing
misapprehension, allayfng quarrels
and smoothing the road to concord
than are people in other relations OF
life. The marriage status is one in
which each of the parties may be jus
titled in demanding the strictest let
ter of the bond; and it will not be
dissolved except for grave and sub
stantial cause"

Adams He is sturdy and healthy, and

The amount of the wheat harves

vestigation, but of wide interest ant
Importance. The yield in the United
States. by far the greatest produce
In the world, is of greatest import
ance. but the amount of the harvest
in the other countries is likewise 8
matter of deep concern, for upon the
product elsewhere determines the
amount of the shipments to those
countries from the United States.
Outside the United States the big
wheat growing nations are Russia
British India, Argentina, France. Italy
and Hungary. The reports from most
OF these countries this year indicate
that the crop will be good one, at
least that it will be much better than
last year
From the Punjab district in India
comes the report that the wheat crop
will be about ivJ,0Oo,ooO bushels, an
increase of 20 per cent over last years
crop. British India runs about 800.
100000 bushels on the average, or
about one-half of the average crop in
the United States. Russia runs about
5e0,000,000 bushels.
So 1t will be seen that the output
from these countries makes mate
rial difference In the cereal supply
Of the world. The crop in this coun,
try last year was about 650,O0Q,OOO
bushels, and 1t was not enough for
both domestic consumption and for ex.
pert supply.
This shortage, due to both the de-
mands above mentioned is what has
enabled Mr.. Patten and his fellow
speculators to take advantage of the
situation and push the price up be
