report. Judge Richardson says he
does not contemplate any very radi-
cal changes at the present time, al
though laws creating new courts or
cutting off existing courts may be
initiated or passed by the legislature
at any time.
Some members of the bar" says
Judge Richardson, advocate the Gre
alton of court in each county which
shall at all times be in session for the
transaction OF legal business; and that
such court shall be given Jurisdiction
over probate matters as we'll as in
law and equity. Other members of
the bar oppose this proposition on va
rious grounds, two of which are: First
that such a judge, depending entire
ly upon the electors of his county for
| his subsequent tenure in office, might
! thereby. become swayed by local pre-
| judices and misdirected public clam
| or and. second, that in some counties
the expense of such a court would
be too heavy as we'll as the fact that
persons competent to fill the position

PLANT GRASS TO SAVE
PANAMA CANAL WALLS

Washington.-Unde the direction
of an expert of the Smithsonian In
stitution. an attempt is being made
along the banks of the Panama canal
to prevent further slides by planting
grass seed. Announcement of the eX-
pertinent was made today by officers
of the Isthmian Canal Commission.
A special variety of seed, developed
( by the Agricultural Department after
/ long study and experimentation. is
being used. 1t is hoped that the roots
of the grass will form. a network
holding the soil in its position.
Most of the planting will be done
in the Culebra cut, where trouble
has been experienced with slides OF
earth into the big ditch. Engineers
declare the slides due to the fact that
the layer of soil is very thin, and
rests upon smooth rock lodges.

The range of wireless stations on
board warships is limited by the diff
ficulty in elevating the antennas, as
1t is impossible to erect wireless masts
of any considerable height With the
kites, the antennae may be elevated
to a height of 1000 feet or more. The
range of a wireless, provided the ell
ectric power is increased, is proper
tional to the height of the wires
The experiments with the kites

ton, in command of the torpedo boat
Stringham. He will operate in
