TO CHANGE
EQUITY COURT RULES
Initial Step in important Re-
form Is Taken by Chief
Justice White.

The initial step In the first big reform
inaugurated by Chief Justice White Of
the Supreme Court of the United States
since his elevation to that Office became
public yesterday when announcement
was made that the Chief Justice had ap-
pointed a committee to change and re-
wise the rules Of practice in the equity
courts of the United States.
The committee Is composed Of Justices
Lurton and Van Devanter. and Chief
Justice White. ex officio. 1t will report
to the full court, probably In the fall,
changes and revisions in the present
rules.
For years the rules have been pro-
nounced in many quarters to be anti
Quated and often working injustice and
hardship. The most general outcry
against them has been that they encour-
age delay in litigation and high costs.
Seek to Avoid Delays.
Not only have clients complained Of the
delays and costs. but lawyers themselves
fret at the insurmountaLle delays. An
other objection has been that the rules
were unnecessarily complicated.
President Taft is known to be interested
In the reform. 1t Is regarded as striking
at the most Objectionable set Of rules IN
force by direction Of the Supreme Court.
The present rules were promulgated in
1842. and. except for a few changes to
individual rules. have remained unamend-
ed to the present day.
It Is understood that the committee de-
sireS suggestions from members OF the
bar and bar associations as to what
changes should be made.
