INNOCENCE TO COST LESS.
Lawyers Plan to Cheaper Litigation by
Creating Jobs.


Lawrence, Kan, May 15.-Judges,
lawyers, heads of penal institutions,
and teachers of law in the university
will meet here Friday and Saturday,
May IT and IS, tt discuss methods of
improving the criminal procedure in
the state of Kansas, in the belief that
it may be made the most effective, the
most expeditions and the most eco
nomical of any in the country.
Professor w. E. Higgins of the
school of law, who. has led the move
ment for a state awakening on the
subject of reform in criminal proceed
ure, declares that thousands of dol
lars are being wasted every year
through the employment of cumber-
some methods of administering the
law"
The meeting this week will organize
formally the Kansas Institute of Grim
inal Law and Criminolo general
organization intended to assist the sew
eral organizations of sociologists and
penologists, judges and lawyers, prose-
judges of the Juvenile courts, now eX-
listing and doing much good work but
largely dissipating their energy in
piece-meal legislation. The newly or
ganized institute will harmonic and
unite the efforts of all these along the
most direct lines.
AS an example OF the measures pro-
posed, Professor Higgins advocates the
creating of a district prosecuting attor-
neyship. This official would appear at
the sessions of the district court as adj
neys. His experience would enable
him to expedite the business of the
court, and greatly to reduce the cost of
the administration of justice.

rare talent and originality, especially

An unusual feature of the annual
this year is the fact that there is
absolutely no graft connected with the
publishing of the book and the editor
and manager have given their services
out of mere loyalty to the school.

for manager to make enough money

gained complete victory over the

have retreated in disorder The town
OF Luleburgas has been taken.
Public attention has been centered
in the operations around Adrianople
and the movements OF the Bulgarians
against Luleburgas. This town is an
important point in the Turkish sec
ond line Of defense which stretches
from the westward to Demotica. Its
character would indicate that this
second line had been broken. Should
this be the case the Turks probably
would retreat to the Chortu, where
they possibly might make a stand.
