procedure especially promises to bring
about an energetic discussion Judge
Kopelke is said to be framing a bill
which he will submit to the next legis-
iature and he hopes to have the support
of the Lake County Bar association in
getting it passed. but the indications
are that some of the strongest lawyers
In the county will find fault with it.
Judge kopelke proposes s3mplification
of the pleadings, a thing which many
say would be a step in advance. but
which others argue would take from
the courts of records their strongest

plification should be made along the
lines of appeal. At any rate the ques-
ton will be az. interesting one.
Recall Condemned.
In connection with the question of
recall of judges and the recall of ju-
dicial decisions it is interesting to note
that the American Bar association, in

the coming year. An effort will be made
to have the State Bar association meet

FIRE DOES QUITE
A LITTLE DAMAGE
East Chicago Resident Suf-
fers From $500 Blaze
at His Home.

Fire aroused the residents in the VI
cinity of Forsyth avenue and 148th
street when the fire department re-
sponded to an alarm turned in by J.
C. Goulding in whose house at 4727
Forsyth avenue, East Chicago, a blaze
broke Que at about 4:45 a. m.
The fire was occasioned by the ex-
plosion of a lamp, from an unknown
cause. and Mr.. Goulding. who was
alone in the upper story. had some
difficulty in making his escape, being
obliged to fight his way through
ames to gain the street.
The noise of the explosion aroused
Mr. Goulding and on investigation he
found that oil from the exploding
lamp had flowed over the stairway, the
fire following the infiammable fluid
and burning briskly wherever 1t had
touched. GouldiHg dressed hurriedIy
and alarmed the stable hands in the
Lewis livery barn. which is next door
to his house, and then he notified the
fire department. The latter arrived
promptly. confining the blaze to the
stairway and hall. However. there
was a damage to the extent of about
$500. mostly by smoke and water.
Mrs. Goulding is in Ohio on a. visit.
