COURTS MAY BE UNITED.
Only One Federal Clerk Will 30 en-
pIoyed as Result

PSVyV0 80 n00utSs
Washington, April 12.-Federal court
clerks are expected to be heard from
soon. Half of them may have to aban.
don business. according to the proposed
reorganization Of the courts. In the re.
vision Of the judicial laws, the joint
committee Of congress has decided Il
report in favor Of uniting the district
and the circuit courts. Hereafter. ac-
cording to this plan. there is to be but
one court and one clerk, which 10 ex.
pected to result in a material savin1 to
the government.
The members Of the joint committee
can see no reason for continuation
Of the two courts The division OF
duties has always been arbitrary. IN
many places the same Judge presides
over both courts. He transfers from
one court to the other without changing
his seat or raising his voice.
But this double system has involved
keeping two dockets with two clerks
to do the work. In single fee courts
each clerk gets $500 year, il the
fees amount TO that much. In double
fee courts each clerk may get as much
as $1,000 a, year, il business is good,
The new judicial code proposes to-
make all courts siAgle-fee courts, and
allow but one clerk to the consoli-
dated court.
From their experience. the members
Of the committee on revision Of the
laws believe that one clerk. can do the
work without dangerous exertion.

| Chicago, April 12-While local re-

able packers TO buy what they needed
at the river markets. Few steers of
quality were offered Prices were
steady.
Receipts yesterday We're nearly as
large as the total of all last week and
naturally buyers were quick to make
the most of the advantage they had
The run was figured at close to $1,000
against 1883 a week ago, or nearly
three times as much. 1t is logical that
the exceptionally small supply last
week, which occasioned big boost in
prices would loosen things up in the
country, and it did That was why
there was a big offering yesterday. but
nobody looked for So many. Buyers
were in a revengeful mood and started
out with the intention Of mauling the
markets TO the best of their ability.
They were extremely bearish and de-
rnanded concessions OF % cents from
the first jump. Sellers resisted the cut
as much as possible, but finally had to
come to terms. and so most of the cat
tie on the market had to sell mainly
% cents lower at the high close Of last
week
Buyers wanted the cattle, but could
do with less, as they have for some
time, and there was no way to make
them compromise
Hogs.
Early sales showed break Of 10
cents from quotations of the previous
day. but the big fellows were holding
out for still lower levels. Late prices
were 20 cents lower than the avera ge
of the previous day.
The government report, given to the
trade before the opening, showed the
condition of brood sows on April / at
a5.4 per cent. This is cent better
than last year and 1.3 per cent better
than the tenyear average. The amount
Of brood sows back in the country.
however, is only 92.2 per cent of last
years total This report had little eff
feet on the trade. The influencing
factor was the average weight of hogs
now arriving, which showed pounds
heavier than last week and Is pounds
heavier than year ago The local
crowd was aggressive sellers, while the
buying was scattered.

stronger. Shorn wethers gained Is

TAFT MODIFIED HIS SPEECH.
Senators Persuaded President to Deiiv-
or Mild Address.

Washington, April 1.-THE puzzle as
! to why President Taft did not go to
/ the same extent as Attorney General
Wickersham in reading the progressive
republicans and insurgents out of the
party has been solved.
President Taft changed the entire
tenor Of his speech within eighteen
| hours OF its delivery and long after
Attorney General Wickersham had
started for Vhicago. AS originally pre-
pared it was an 'uncompromising as
sault on all those charged with party
irregularity and did not mince words.
/, It unhesitatingly declared that all those
not standing with the majority and
| supporting the policy of the president
could not he regarded real nepub-
licans. It was a severe arrangement of
the insurgents. AS delivered, all the
fierceness and vim and snap and de-
| nunciation had disappeared. It was a
mild conservative, apologize assertion
that men read themselves out of the
parties. 1t came as a surprise to those
who expected a genuine attack on the
changed program.
| It is now known that Friday night
and Saturday forenoon certain senators
high in the councils and leadership of
the republican party read President
Taft's contemplated speech and urged
| him to modify it. He was warned that
the occasion was not suspicious for
opening war on the insurgents. He was
reminded that the League. of Repub-
lican Clubs is formed of young men
who are more easily affected with the
germ Of insurgency than older repub-

ed to persuasion and toned his speech
down until 1t was unacceptable and
CORRESPONDENCE Disappointing.
Attorney General Wickersham's
speech has aroused the Insurgents and
will bring out replies at the first OPP
portunities progressive senators and
representatives find.
The regular faction of the republican
party here is pleased with the Wicker
sham speech and disappointed at the
mildness of President Tafts utterances.
The labelling Of Senators La Toilette,
Dolliver, Clapp, Cummins and Bristow
as outlaws by the president has not
proven reassuring to their associates.
In speaking of Attorney General
Wickersham's speech, Senator Cum
Minis said:
"Mr. Wickersham's mistake is one
that a man with his training Is very
likely to make. Until he became
member Of the cabinet he had little if
any interest in the republican party,
had done little or nothing for 1t and
was a comparative stranger to its
spirit, purpose and policies, and there
fore he easily fell under the delusion
that he sees the whole party when he
sits at the cabinet table. A short ex-
