FOR BETTER COURT RULES.
Supreme Court Justices Plan Changes
to Lessen Delay and Costs.

Washington, Aug. 19.-With the
aid of an elaborate card index sys-
TEN, Chief Justice White and Asso-
ciate Justices Lurton and Van De
venter of the Supreme Court of the
United States are laboring this sum
mer over new set of rules for
equity practice in Federal courts.
Their adoption is expected almost
to revolutionize the work of these tri-
bunals.
The Justices in the course of the
next term hope to lay before the full
court the results of their labors. Once
the court has given its approval the
new rules will be promulgated for
enforcement through the Federal
courts of the United States.
The work is the result OF the deter
mination of Chief Justice White short
ly after he became the head of the
court TO alter the present ancient
rules, which he regarded as instru-
ments of delay and invitations TO ire
mendous cost bills.
Thousands OF suggestions were
amendments TO the present rules
have been received by the court com
mittee of three through its secretary,
W. J. Hughes OF the Department OF
Justice They came from Judges. Bar
associations and lawyers. The sug-
gestions We're copied in triplicate
and indexed, and Chief Justice White
and Associate Justices .Lurton and
Van Deryenter each was furnished
with a set.

DANGER IN CHESTNUT BLIGHT.
Germs Carried BY Birds or Insects

recently:
The disease is specially danger

some other agent than the winds. 1t
is, therefore, of the utmost import
ance that a close watch De kept for
the appearance of the disease wher-
ever chestnut trees abound and that
trees found affected by it should be
cut and their bark burned as soon as
possible.
The spread of the disease has
been so rapid and its work so viru-
lent during the last two years that
constant watchfulness and prompt
action whenever it appears are es-
sential to its suppression.

BENNINGTON, VT. AUG. 20. 1sl.

II speaks we'll for Charles D. Wat
son. former city representative and
former candidate for governor of
Vermont, that the Republicans Of St.
Adams have seen fit to endorse him,
a Democrat, for the office of city rep
resentative for the next two years.
It cannot be that the Republicans Of
St. Adams anticipate that the gov
ernorship election will be thrown in
to the legislature. else they would
not have been willing to sacrifice one
vote without a struggle. Barre
Times.
It is more probable that the politi-
cal problem presented by the Times
was given no consideration by the
Republicans of St Adams The men
who attended the caucus and nomin
ated a Democrat for city representa-
tive undoubtedly took that course
because they had confidence in the
integrity and ability of Mr. Watson
There IS increasing evidence that
purely political considerations. especi
ally in connection with local affairs
are not going 10 have so much weight
with the voters in the future as in

COMMISSION COSTS MORE.

-
creases Its Tax Rate.
Trenton. n. j., Aug. 1.-THE City
Commission of Trenton, the first city
in the East to adopt the commission
form OF government will have its OF
fee one year next Thursday The
year has not been encouraging for
those who advocated the change from
the old system of Common Council
and City Boards elected or appointed
through the Democratic and Repub
ican Party. to the present system
of non-partisan commission OF five
men. elected by the people, TO run
the city government Instead OF a
reduction i'm the tax rate OF the city,
it has been increased, and is TO be
still further increased.
The record shows that the city has
spent 100000. or 10 per cent more
than was ever spent under the ole
political system in one year. Those
advocates of the change are taking
refuge in the declaration that, de-
spite the increased cost of maintain
ing the city government, the munic-
lpality has been run efficiently.
Last year under the commission
the tax rate was raised ten points,
and a raise of from 10 TO Il pom
will be found necessary this year.
Those who would like TO make n
change in the system find that
cannot be done iu less than 1--WE years
although the present commissioners
may be recalled and new ones elect
ed. Many of those who are complain
ing declare the fault is i'm the sys-
tenn and not in the city commits
sioncrs.
One direct result of the increased
taxes is increased house rents. which
have gone into effect in every part OF
the city.

PRIMARY HELD IN

ELECTION DECIDES WHO WILL
GET THE STATES SIXTEEN
DELEGATES,

Baltimore, Nd, May 6.-The Mary
land primary election today will de-
termine whether President Taft or
Theodore Roosevelt will capture the
states sixteen votes at the republican
national convention but, owing to a
popularity of the Maryland law, there
is possibility that the complexion OF
the delegation to the democratic con-
vention will not be determined until
the state convention.
Under the new law the candidate
that wins majority Of the 1879 dele
gates chosen for the state convention
will get all the national delegates also.
Since there are but two candidates for
the republican preference, division OF
the state delegates must result In a
majority for one or the other. Tn.
certainty may close the democratic
situation because, there are three can.
didates in the field, Speaker Champ
Clark, Judson Harmon and Gov Will
son. If none OF the three demor::,%- &c
candidates receives majority q
state delegates the contest for natl al
delegates may be fought out at the
state convention. On the first state
convention ballot the delegates in
structed today for each Of the three
candidates will be bound to give them
their votes, but If the ballot fails to
result in choice no one ventures to
say what will happen. The belief is ex-
pressed that the candidate with the
smallest number of votes will release
his delegates who thus will be free to
vote for either of the candidates, still

A. NJ. e. CONFERENCE
HELD AT KANSAS CITY
Amusement Rule Also Up for Con-
sideration at This Meeting; Will
Last Three Weeks.

Kansas City, Mo-. May 6.-The twen-
ty-fourth quadrennial session of the
general conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal church met here
today with delegates present from all
parts of the United States and many
foreign countries.
The meeting which is to last three
weeks, was expected to be one Of the
most important in the history of the
church. In addition to the electing OF
four bishops the conference probably
will revise the law of the church rela-
tive to restriction of amusements.
There is wide difference Of opinion
among the leaders as to whether the
ban on dancing, theaters and similar
amusements should be stricken from
the church discipline.
The conference was called to order
by Bishop Henry Turner of Atlanta,
Ca. A report Of the finance commit
tee showed that more than q million
dollars were raised for educational
purposes during the fiscal year and
$140,0O0 for missionary work.

ANTHRACITE FIGHT
GOES TO CONVICTION

Philadelphia, Pa, May 6.-The call
having been issued for a tri-district
convention at Wilkes Barre on May
IA to consider the wage arrangements
agreed upon by the subcommittee Of
miners and operators, the anthracite
mine workers will this week occupy
their time by electing delegates to the
meeting.
Sentiment on the question of ratify-
ing the agreement in the face of the
action of the executive board of three
districts in voting it down, appears to
be divided.
The total suspension of anthracite
mining has now been in force five
weeks and it is probable two weeks
more will elapse before the men re-
turn to work providing they ratify the
tentative agreement Of the sub-com-
mittee of operators and miners.

New York, May e.-The promise OF
women suffrage leaders to eclipse all
previous demonstrations for their
cause was fulfilled Saturday when
about 10000 persons paraded up Fifth
avenue under suffrage banners. Hun
dreus of thousands of persons looked
on from windows and balconies along
the avenue and the sidewalks We're so
crowded along the entire route that
the mounted policemen were unable
to keep the spectators within bounds.
There was no disorder, however.
The majority of the paraders wore
39-cent hats of yellow straw. The
women kept step well to the music Of
twenty bands and conducted them
selves with the dignity which their
leaders had enjoined that they should.
