TARRANT SAYS GENERAL PURLIC IS SUFFERER

George B. Tarrant said: "The needs or a new courthouse and county jail are very pressing, and should be given earnest consideration by every voter of the coun- ty. I go out of office shortly and could not enjoy the benefits of the new build ings if erected. I want to say, however, that the present conditions are well nigh

 "The county jail has been condemned and a new jail will be built whether the bond Issue carries or not. The pres ent building Is antiquated and should be replaced with a modern structure.

intolerable. There is not a department of the county that has quarters either suitable or sufficient The public is the sufferer and has to put up with incon- veniences and annoyances that should not exist in county the size of Jefferson.

SEEK REFORM IN PRACTICE.
Congress, Bar Association and Courts
Expect>to Make Effort for Change.

Congress the American Bar Associa-
ton and the courts are expected to unite
in the effort to be made at the coming
session of Congress to reform law prac-
t1ce IN the federal courts. The proposed re-
forms. it is stated will, if adopted, give
to the Supreme Court of the United
States the same thorough control over
the practice in the federal courts as it
has for years possessed over the proce-
dure in courts Of equity.
The recent changes made by the Su-
preme Court, amounting to revolutionary
reforms, in equity practice, it is stated,
will be made the basis for the demands
that practice in other federal courts be
changed in the direction of simplicity
and expeditiousness, and those advocat-
ing the changes are firm in the belief
that only through such radical changes
can many decidedly unpopular features
on the law side of the federal courts be
remedied.
1t is pointed out that Congress has
constitutional control of the law prac-
tice in such courts already, and has had
it since the establishment of the courts
Congress, however, has become such an
unwieldy body as to make it practically
impossible to bring about. unaided, the
detailed changes that are demanded in
such technical matters as the rules OF
the courts For this reason the united
efforts of Congress, the Supreme Court
and the great body of legal authority
composing the American Bar Association
are at work on the plan to enact legis-
lation empowering the Supreme Court to
decide upon the changes and to formulate
and promulgate them.

Ex-Judge Olcott's Views.

In his statement Judge Olcott said:
"Of course, 1t is the precedent in an
application for pardon that the district
attorney who tried that case and the
judge before whom it was tried should
be heard before action is taken.
Beginning with Gov. Higgins and GO
ing through to Gov. Hughes, White and
Dix, every governor except Gov. Dix has
had this pardon application before him
by my insstently knocking at their
doors. Each one followed the precedent
OF asking Justice Golf and former Dis
tr;ct Attorney jerome for their opinions,
and to each of them those officials have
rendered an opinion strongly and I'M
changeably against Patrick.
When Gov. Dix took up the matter.
therefore, it would have been souble
work for him to have asked for these
opinions again. They Were on hle, unai-
Ierable, by their very terms, and it was

to that of even the learned opinions of

new progressive party would probably
be made public some time tomorrow.
Colonel Roosevelt told some delegates
that he expected developments would
come which would make it possible to
outline a course Of action for them to-
day.
Still Talks Of Theft"
Colonel Roosevelt made speech to the
Roosevelt delegates tonight in which
he discussed the action of the credentials
committee and the votes on the decisions
Of the committee. He declared again, as
he has so many times that the action
was nothing but naked theft"
He said no convention controlled by
majority made up of delegates seated by
such fraudulent methods was a legal
convention. and no action it took would
be legal or binding on any loyal Repub-
lican whether or not he sat in the con-
vention. He declared he did not recos~
nize this as anything but theft and

coalition with any element OF the Dem

however. were less reticent. F. A.
Perry, chairman Of the Oklahoma dele
gaticn. said tonight that after this cor
vention had adjourned his delegation
would go to Baltimore and open nego.
tiations.

gates TO go with u.s." said Mr.. Perry.
The same situation exists in the Demo.
cratic party as in the Republican party
and believe we shall be able to come
TO terms with Progressive Democrats for
the formation of a Progressive party"
Just one more incident in the days de-
velopments is worthy Of note. Colonel
Roosevelt has no high opinion of Biz
Barnes, Of New York, except as
fighter. He has discussed Barnes at
times with almost every one Of his vis-
itors. He discussed him to-day, and in
that discussion, to illustrate Barness
absolute depravity, ranked him as ons
Of the defenders Of lothian P. Aids, the
Senate leader in New York State who
was found guilty Of accepting a bride by
vote Of the Senate.
It happens that the illustration was
unfortunate, for the records OF that case
show that Barnes was opposed to Aids
being elected Senate leader, and II is
! known among New York politicians that
| in his newspaper and personally he did
everything he could 70 prevent Aids from
having that honor. on the ground that

colonel made the statement are not ia
