Chief Justice Henry M. Furman OF
Oklahoma criminal court of appeals
recently addressed the law students at
the state university on the subject OF
Criminal Jurisprudence" The emf
nent jurist complimented the embryo
barristers on their opportunity for ac-
quiring legal, education, saying that
he walked seven miles to borrow his
first law book. He decried the tend
ency of many judges to hold that
everything which came before the
court is wrong until proved right, say
ing that the opposite attitude should
be assumed. Judge Furman also re-
ferred to the common law as relic OF
the days of barbarism and superstl-
ton which is filled with absurdities
and has about outlived its usefulness

have difficulty In getting out. One Ct
Mrs. O'Toole's relatives, an invalid, was
sleeping on the second floor, but there
was not enough smoke in the upper
part of the house to make 1t necessary
to carry her out.
The blaze was discovered by one OF
the members Of the household who was
awakened by the odor of smoke. About
the same time the fire was seen by
some one on the street, who turned
in an alarm. The firemen confined the
flames to the from, room in the base
ment.
Fire was discovered about 30 o'clock

ABOLITION MEASURE
MEETS WITH DELAY
Goes Over Till After Holt
days-Mr. Sims Says 1t
Will Be Passed.

It was decided today that all action
on the bill introduced by Congressman
Sims Dem.) OF Tennessee for the aboli-
ton of the Commerce Court will be de-
layed until after the holiday recess
II have assurances of SUPPORT which
practically insurs the passagS>of my
bill in substantially the form I'm which
Il was introduced" said Mr.. Sims to-
day. while I will be unahHe to bring
It before the House before the first of
the Year, I am certain 1t will meet with
the approval Of the Democratic leaders
and a majority Of the members of
both parties on the floor.
1.-THE bill has been referred to the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, Of which 1 am a member.
The committee will do no further work
until 1t returns from its trip TO the
Panama Canal Zone. which begins next
Sunday. Immediately upon our return,
however, will press the bill in the
committee. and I am assured of an
early favorable report"
Mr.. Sims declared he had discovered
Q general sentiment in the House in
favor Of his measure. Speaker Clark
Will use his influence to forward the
bill, as he fought the creation Of the
court on the floor of the House. where
It escaped defeat by just six votes.
The Sims bill is practically the same
az that introduced in the Senate by
Senator .'o!ndexter, and IL the former
passes the House 1t will undoubtedly
have the support of the progressives
who favor the Potndexter measure.
