The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-03-02

A large delegation of Birmingham attorneys left yesterday afternoon for Montgomery with petition to the gov ernor protesting against the curtail- ment of the terms of the circuit and city courts of Jefferson county. The pc tition is signed by practically all the members of the bar association and asks that the Morrow bill. which pro vides for the shortening of the terms by about six weeks, be repealed.
 The passage and ratification of the bill has caused a great deal of ad- verse comment. Many of the attor- neys openly charge that it is a scheme of the corporations for congesting the dockets whereby it follows that many cases are necessarily carried over and settled by agreement always to the advantage of the corporations. News of the shortening of the terms was the more surprising because the bar association recently held a meet ing and sent an official protest to the legislature against such an act
 According to the provisions of the bills all of the divisions of the city and circuit courts were adjourned Wednesday, until the first Monday in April It is required, however, that the judges report at their court rooms eacn morning during the whole of the year

 More explicit reports have 1t that a new pay roll is being worked out by the m spectors. but they have maintained Tn this matter as in others a strict reti- ccnce.
 The policy which is now being pursued by Postmaster General Hitchcock iS view of curtailing all unnecessary expenses in the mail service was first felt when news reached Birmingham of the proposed cur tailment of the railway postoffice cars on the Louisville and Nashville railroad. In a recent letter, however, to President Richard w. Massey of the Chamber of Commerce the Postmaster General states that any orders seriously affecting the Birmingham mail service would be re- scinded

Lawyers Go To Protest
 Against Short Terms

but in the month of March only those cases in which an agreement has been reached by both sides will be tried. A fine of $25 will be assessed against the judge vhp fails to appear as ap- pointed, and fine of $100 against the clerk who fails 10 report such failure. All of the judges were present yester- day morning but cases were taken up only before Judges Ferguson and Ne Smith in the city court.
 The work of resetting the docket will be begun in the near future, accord ing to a statement made by Sam M. Blake, clerk and register of the city court. The making over of the new docket will necessuate the transference of all those cases originally set for March which may not be reached in April to the June docket. The docket for April will probably remain as 1t is. It is likely that all the suits being filed at present will not be set before the October docket.
 "The curtailment of the term will un- doubtedly, in my opinion, bring on the old state of congested dockets," said Sam Blake, land the courts are likely to experience a great deal of delay as formerly because of the number of cases which will have to be carried over"
