ADAMS XMAS
 TREE FILLED
Prettily Decorated But No Present There Except a Joke Is Attached to it. New Years Day the Day.

The Christmas tree in the Adams hotel is attracting all kinds of at tentiOn from the guests and the poli- ticians who make the place their headquarters. Mine Host I. c. Adams is nothing if not a good joker, and he has worked his inventive talent overtime in preparing real good jokes for the statesmen and promi- nent men about town. Really the tree is prettily decorated with the time hOnored decorations, but the joke lies in the presents that are on it
 The Arizona corporation commis- sion recently presented the railways of the state with a bomb in the shape of a certain order. J. C. pro- poses to present a sure enough rail- road train to the commission-One that they can run without objection on the part of the corporations. It IS already on the tree. There is horn for Democrat Clark" the well known reporter of the afternoon pa per, with the order keep blowing" Chief TOOter BraWner pulls down a French horn. A twin baby carriage attracted attention and the name proved to be that of Roster Rock well. Attorney General Bullard's present is dubbed "Oh, you loud noise" while Hon. Ralph Cameron gets a toy elephant, Governor Hunt q Missouri mule" and E. J. Ben nitt a broken toy bank A doll car riage addressed to Sidney P. Os borne is labeled Why"
 Sidney Goldman has a baby car rage on the tree labeled Heres hopin'," and Tom Sparks plane has his name on an empty trunk. This trunk is supposed to represent the city treasury. Paul Geary is the big deer hunter of Arizona and is now anxious to get a closed season on deer for two years, so he draws a toy deer. Postmaster McClintOck gets a trunk with "On your way on it. while J. c. Adams and two dis carded friends have a ship and an elephant Corporation Commissioner Jones has a hammer, and on big commission with four seals OH it are instructions appointing Governor Hunt to take general charge of the Siberian penal colony. This com- mission is signed Car"
 The tree will stand until New Years day, when a sure enough Christmas festival will be given. All those who are charitably inclined are invited to put presents on the tree for the poor folks, and Miss Chrissie Gilchrist, superintendent of the As sociated Charities, is to be asked to be present when the gifts are taken down and to designate to whom they shall be given.

can be justified by reference to many of the older decisions of courts in every state. But the present temper of the bar and of the public. We be- lieve, is opposed to the giving of such effect to mere rules of procedure. The Overwhelming voice of opinion today is to the effect that no case shall be permitted to ride off to de- feat on mere technicality. All cases should be disposed of on their merits and no rule of court should be considered so obligatory upon a court as to prevent it from doing justice.
 Moreover, all rules of court should be literally constructed by the court which makes them, and a wide dis erection exercised in their enforcement. The punishment meted out for their violation should rest solely upon counsel and not upon the client. In the case under consideration, for in stance it should have stricken the offending brief from the files and given appellant opportunity to file a brief that would fully comply with the rules of court.
 
 the court in it's impatience of law yers who fail to qualify themselves for practicing law, but superior in importance to the prompt anad orderly dispatch of business" in our courts of justice are the substantial rights the Etigants therein. For hundreds of years the common law 'subOrdinated such rights to an exact compliance with intricate rules of pleading and practice and court and lawyers have found it difficult to shake off the accumulated force of habit thus contracted by the profes- sion. It is going to be very hard to break down this wall of prejudice, but by constant criticism and earnest. thoughtful appeals it will in the end be finally demolished and courts will ultimately be unshackled from obligatory rules of procedure and free to do justice between the parties purely on the merits of each case We may rest assured that we are going to have with us always the clumsy, unprepared lawyer whose careless pleadings are going to in terfere with the administration of justice. But who is to take the blame for such incompetency, the client, on the one hand, or, on the other, the court which gives to him his license to practice and the pro fession that permits him to have a standing within it's ranks? When courts finally reach the viewpoint that they are more responsible for the negligence of their own officers than , the clients who employ them, then rules of procedure VIII be enforced so as not to affect the substantial rights of litigants-A H. Robbins | in Central Law Journal

RULES HINDER THE COURTS
Public Opinion Demanding Today That Cause Shall Not Be Defeated
 on Technicality.

It is unfortunate at this time when the bar is urging upon the people to change all regulations of court proceed ure to the form of mere rule of court on the ground that they would not be so unbending and obligatory as statu- tory regulations, to have a prominent appellate court declares that a rule of court is obligatory and as unbending as a statutory regulation.
 This declaration occurred in the rec ent case of Prince Vs. Swartz Gnd App.) 97 N. E. Rep, 938 The rule of court herein violated required an ap- pellant to set forth in his brief: "GD The nature of the action; @ what the issues were; (3) how the issues were decided and what the judgment or de cree was; (4) errors relied upon for reversal; (5) a concise statement of so much of the record as fully presents every error and exception relied on, referring to the pages and line of the transcript" The rule is a good one and it is evident that the attorney for appellant negligently or ignorantly vii plated the rule and presented a brief which did not at all enlighten the court III IIle matters Cdllcb IOI DN tllC ] ult
 On motion of appellant, however, the court affirmed the judgment below without considering the case on it's merits and solely because Jf the fail ure of appellant to comply with the rules The court said: When a rule of court is adopted and published, it has the force and effect of jaw, and is binding upon the court as well as upon the parties. Such is a law e practice, extending to all litigants coming with
 in it's purview, and who have a right to assume that it will be uni formly enforced in conservation of their rights, as well as in securing the prompt and orderly dispatch of business Magnuson vs. Billings, 152 Ind. TIT, 18O. 52 N. E., S05."

SHIPPING FROZEN MILK.

An unusual method of preparing milk for long distance shipping has been adopted in the Brazilian province Minas Geraes, from which Rio Jan eiro draws most of its milk supply. Part of the fresh pasteurized milk (one fourth to one third) is frozen into solid cubes weighing from 20 to 30 pounds each. and a number of them are placed in cans, having in sulated walls and holding about 300 .oparts The cans are then filled with milk. dramatically closed and the whole cooled to 39 degrees F. It is said, that milk shipped after such treatment will stand journey of b to 20 days without injurious effect. Popular Mechanics Magazine.

 What from NVales?"

 Iron is mined in Wales, but we dc not import it in America. In answering these questions you must remember that I am only asking what this country gets from the various parts of Great Britain. Now what do we get from Ireland?"

LIGHTER COINS IN AUSTRALIA

The Austrian commonwealth author ities propose soon to go into the question of providing smaller and lighter coins, probably of nickel as substitutes for the existing copper pennies and half pennies. The prime minister (Mr Fisher) believes the copper coins now in use far from convenient either in weight or size Australian public opinion seems gen. orally to be in favor of the use Of nickel. This metal is hard and light, is not liable to oxydization, and is not in any way poisonous. The great objection to it appears to be its sim ilaritv to silver-London Globe.

Rev DIR. Herbert Scott Smith. rector Of
ST. Margaret's p. E. Church. set forth the
conditions regarding disease. dirt and de-
privation in the alleys of the National
Capital in q sermon on Saloons and
Sums last night.
TT is false optimism which leads you
to believe that all is well because all Is
we'll on the surface" he said. Our
homes are protectel against disease. Our
streets are paved. We have excellent sew
erage advantages and other projections
against disease but little investigation
will disclose startling conditions In other
sections Of the city
DR.. Smith called on his congregation
and those who have never participated in
the movement against .dfsease-rfdden al
leys to lend a. helping hand to the little
corps of men. and women who are striv-
ing valiantly for the abolition of alley
shacks and huts and for the erection of
modern brick. sanitary and comfortable
dwellings for the poor classes of WASH

and thanks to these few men and
women are due for the good already &C
complished." said the preacher. for In
one street In the heart OF the slums In
the southwest you will see row OF tum-
ble-down germ breeding frame shacks on
one side Of the byway as a commentary
on conditions as they were. ana on the
other side a row of recently completed
modern brick houses. each provided with
a bathroom and all sanitary conveniences,

COMMITTEE NOTES PROGRESS.
Woman's Crusade for Lower Steps
on Street Cars Broadens.

Encouraged by the success of their
campaign. the women's committee con-
Quoting the fight for lower street car
steps in the District is soliciting the
support Of attorneys Of the city.
Miss Janet Richards chairman Of the
committee. has ordered to be printed
1000 additional copies of the petition
to the street car companies asking that
lower steps be installed on the cars.
Each copy has space for $50 signatures,
and 1t is the belief of the COMMITTEES
that II they get at least one-half Of
the persons in the District to sign the
petition the railway officers will feel
forced to yield to their demands for
better car accommodations.
A number of attorneys who have been
approached on the subject by the COM
mittee have signiied their willingness
to assist in the cause. and declared that
public opinion is back OF the crusade.
Already there are over 100 members
OF the woman's committee. which started
10 short while ago with ten members. and
several thousand names have been 1T
tached to the petitions.
