II WILL DiScuSs NEED FOR
COURT REFORMS.

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 20. Federal
and state judges from every state will
confer tomorrow night at Montreal,

and all federal district courts and
eventually make uniform the practice
in all courts of the United States. The
aim is to eliminate delay and reduce
the expense of all litigation.
The method to be discussed will be
to obtain legislation from congress to
permit the supreme court OF the
United States of it's own motion to re-
form It's own law just as 1t has equity
rules and soon will make uniform the
admiralty and bankruptcy rules. It
also is hoped to obtain registration to
give the supreme court superintend-
ence over the rules Of pleading and
practice in all federal and state courts
as is the method in England and thus
gradually make uniform court proceed
ure In every court in this country.
A memorandum embodying the pro-
posed changes have been prepared by
w. r. Hughes OF the department Of
justice and is to be the basis of re-
forms proposed at the Montreal meet
ing at which Attorney General Nc
Reynolds will be present. 1t is under
stood the proposed changes have the
Endorsement Of the American Bar as
ISOLATION. 1t was at the suggestion of
the uniform procedure committee OF
the association that the discussion OF
the subject was arranged.

yinces senator's that it should be-"

prepared to grant concessions but the
insurgents were not satisfied that

then by lying In wait for him when
ever he left the house. Finally she
issued invitations to the wedding, pre-
pared breakfast and an enormous cake
and called for poor Mr.. Landseer in a
carriage and pair, the horses decked
out with white satin streamers and she
herself dressed most gorgeously as a
bride. But that was the end Of the
persecution. Her friends took her
away. and Mr.. Landseer remained a

a local disease and prescribed local rem

with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment Halls
