WAR GAME TO BE
ENACTED BY BIG FLEET

Washington, June 23.-A war game
upon more elaborate and comprehen-
sive scale than ever before will be en-
acted by the battleship fleet in con-
junction with the torpedo divisions
and the naval militia squadron this
summer, according TO present plans
of the navy department
The war game, which will begin
about July 90, will be played in Mar
ragansett Bay and at the eastern en-
trance 10 Long Island Sound. The
vessels Of the naval militia. together
with the torpedo fleet, will defend
the bay and the sound against a stim-
ulated attack by the by the Atlantic
battleship fleet.
THIS maneouvering will form a part
Of the regular summer drill and ex-
ercises Of the naval militia, which will
be held on the north Atlantic coast
from July Is 10 July 25. The great
er part Of the naval militiamen of
the North Atlantic states will be on
board the former naval vessels Chi

on board the battles lips. The militia
fleet will rendezvous at Gardeners
Bay, L. l., proceeding thence to the
defense of the sound after a few
days Of preliminary exercises. After
the war game is over the fleet will
return to Gardeners Bay for add
tional target practice and drills.
The war game will henceforth be
a part of the annual program of the
naval militia. The navy department
considers this important as the role
of the naval militia in time of wal
VIII be that of coast defense.
1t is hoped that the scope OF tie
exercises may be insreased in the
near future by obtaining the coopera-
tion and interest of certain yacht
clubs, since it is we'll known that sew.
eral such organizations have many
motor boats and small steamers
which will prove an important mill.

THIN FOLKS MADE FAT.

Good. healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use OF the proper food,
together with natural action of the
organs of assimilation. Nine people
out of ten in order to weigh as much
as they ought and be perfectly healthy
should use Samose, the great flesh
forming food and health restorer.
Weigh yourself before commencing to
use these little tablets. and see how
your weight increases from week to
week.
Samose does not contain a particle
of starch or pepsin, nor is it any nau-
seating preparation, such as is usu-
ally recommended to make people fat.
and which does not build up good
healthy tissues. Samose has valu-
able flesh-forming properties, tones
up and strengthens the whole system,
helps the food that is eaten to be
assimilated in a natural manner and
absolutely restores health to all the
organs.
If you are not perfectly satisfied
with the results from Samose, Keep
pen Bros. will return your money
without any quibbling.

Woman Seeks Divorce from Husband
Adverse to Water

Marion, Ohio.-Recently the wife of
Jacob Scharber. a farmer, asked for
divorce on the ground that he was the
meanest man on earth. Today the
wife of Charles S. Winch, a farmer
sued for divorce. She says her hus-
band, who is Al years old and in good
health, never took a bath during all
the years she has lived with him ex-
cept by wading in stream when they
lived near the Milestone river.
She further says he objected to her
bathing their baby and cursed her
when she did. He never changed his
clothing, the petition recites. He put
it on and never took it off until it
was worn to shreds.
The plaintiff claims her husband
compelled her to live in a shack in
the heart OF a dense woods in Tully
township. The defendant owns a IT'S
acre farm.

more than SO jurors may be drawn for
any regular session. Where cases of
great public interest are pending, it is
frequently necessary to order several
special venires, before a jury can be
selected for the trial of case. This
requires time and impedes the progress
Of the court. In these cases the judge
can feresee the difficulty in drawing
jury and may order extra jurors in adj
vance.
Abolish Justices of Peace.
The judges will also discuss the pro-
posed legislation to abolish justices Of
the peace and change the probate
courts to a county court with juris-
diction to try all cases from this and
justice courts, as well as many of the
less important cases ordinarily tried
in the district court. Judge c. w
Smith of Stockton, will outline this
plan before the members of the as
ISOLATION.
Tom Noftzger's plan to abolish a
few judicial districts may not meet
with noisy enthusiasm. 1t may mean
that some of the judges will help leg
islate themselves out of a job and such
practice is not popular even among the
| judges. This plan would increase the
where litigation is heavy and would
consolidate a few courts where the
work is not crowded. The plan in
cludes the organization of circuit
courts. whereby judge could be
transferred from a district where
court work is light to district that
is behind with it's work.
Judges from the country districts
are in favor of law that will allow
mileage and expenses for judges and
court enographers in districts includ-
ing two or more counties. In some of
the country districts the judges spend
the greater portion of their time away
from home and are at a heavier eX-
pense than where court is held in a
single county. The abolition of the
pass has affected the judges and the
| annual cost of carefare has brought
to their attention the fact that the cost
of holding court in foreign county is
exceedingly heavy. Two districts in
Kansas include nine counties. two
others include six counties, in two 9TH
in number of districts are three and
four counties.
Use Nine Jurors.
Judge R. l.. King of Marion will ad-
vocate the plan to allow nine jurors
in civil case to agree on verdict,
instead of the entire twelve under the
present system. The plan has been
adopted in nine or ten states, but there
is some opposition to trying the new
method in Kansas.
Adequate laws to compel Jail prison
ers to do real work will be discussed at
the present meeting. It is claimed
that the state loses money from the
| idleness of the prisoners and that I'M
| der the present system the men in Jail
degenerate morally, mentally and
physically while serving their sentence.
Under the present laws there seems to
be no method that will compel the
| county prisoners to keep busy.
J. c. Ruppenthal of Russell is
chairman of the meeting, and w. e.
Higgins of Lawrence is secretary.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-01-10

Judge A. w. Dana, of Topeka, will
discuss the proposed legislation gov
erning the selection and drawing of
jurors. For some time there has been
a we'll founded theory among judges
and attorneys that change should be
made that will rotate the jury list and
give a wider selection of men for jury
service. In many localities jury SER
vice is not considered a high honor,
and the duty has devolved on limited
number of citizens to the exclusion of
many others. This is especially true
in some of the smaller counties. In
the larger counties, such as Shawnee,
Leavenworth, Sedgwick and a few 9TH
ers, the service is entirely too long.
For this reason a measure may be ask
ed that will permit a judge to excuse
a juror after two or three weeks ser
vice, if his business affairs demand his
attention; and the judge may order
new jurors drawn. Where. a juror is
willing to stay through a, long session,
