CURRENT COMMENT
A Court Without Lawyers.

Germany has a system OF peoples courts
from, which lawyers barred. The object
Is to insure prompt and cheap justice for the
poorer elements of the community. The pro-
cedure in these courts is businesslike and free
from technicalites and red tape.
Now Kansas has followed the example OF
Germany and established by law system of
lawyerless courts. City or county commits
debtors court from which lawyers are ex-
Guided. The plaintiff must tell his own story,
must the defendant. There are to be no
technical pleas, and no legal jargon The Judge
nay call witnesses, examine them in his own
way, otherwise investigate the case
few such laws and experiments as this
may cause the average lawyer to take some
interest in law reform, in the movement for
efficiency, sanity and simplicity in our courts OF
justice. Business men, too, will take notice
and ask why they, though not poor, should pay
for delays meaningless techncalities verbiage

He dwelt ON the need for the support

administrations naval policy.
This is not a question of war or

Three Months
For Shippers
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, April 10.-The year 1918
has proved thus far the most distrous
three months that slip-owners on both
sides of the Atlantic have experienced
in nearly fifty years. Correct esti-
mates of the loss caused by the series
of storms that have swept the coats of
Europe and America are difficult to OBJ
tain, but one authority, who based his
figures on the Lloyds report said today
that the damage to deep sea vessels
alone would amount to 100000 This

one agency reported the loss or partial
wreckage Of 32S sailing vessels and $40
steamships.
One result of the years storms has
been the annihilation Of many of the
few wooden schooners left in American
coasting trade. American shippers, it
is said, viii have to depend hereafter
largely upon barges and steam freight
ers. The price Of all ocean vessels has
risen.

COSTS NEARLY FIVE CENTS
TO PRODUCE POUND OF SUGAR

Washington, April 10-The average
cost of producing pound OF sugar in
Louisiana was 4.39 cents in 1911; in
1910 it was 3.72 and in 1909 it was 3.e2
cents. as shown by an investigation by
the department of commerce, the re-
suit of which was made public today
by Secretary Redfeld.
The high cost in 1911, it was ex-
planned, was due TO the severe freeze
which reduced the average in sugar
per ton of cane ground to 133 pounds
that year, whereas in 1910 it was 147
pounds and in 1909 was 156 pounds.
A comparison for five years of Gu
ban and certain Louisiana factories is
made to show that the yield in Cuba
was 1922 pounds per tons of cane and
1919 in Louisiana.
The sucrose in extraction juice was
16 per cent in Cuba and lis in Louis
lana. Both agricultural and factory
costs are given. The average cost Of
producing a ton of cane ready for the
factory in 1911 was 81; in 1910 it was
$3.50 and in 1909 was S4T5. In the
factories the cost of production per ton
of cane ground was 1884 in 1911; in
1910 it was $5.49 and in 1909 was $5.s5.

Frank Clark. as follows: Dade, Palm
Beach. st. Lucie, OsceoIa, Brevard,
Orange, Volusia, Putnam, st. Johns,

Under the terms Of the bill the other
districts would be- composed as fol-

nando, Citrus, Sumpter, Lake. This
takes Marion Levy. Taylor and La

to LEngle, a resident Of Jacksonville.
Clark retains his strongest counties.
Third-Leon, Gadsden, WaukIlla,

washington. April 10--The senate's
attitude toward President Wilson and
the new tariff bill became fairly we'll
defined today. and after another meet
ing of the democratic members OF the
finance committee of the senate. The
committee will agree to accept the
view OF the president and house as to
free wool and one. cent sugar with free
sugar after three years, but 1t will
exercise its right to amend other
schedules and provisions OF the bill as
it thinks best.
The senate democrats don't propose
to make any general increase in the
rates on the tariff. or TO make the SEN
ate liable to charge OF having impeded
the efforts of the president and house
toward tariff reform. Chances win be
made in many schedules, however. The
work was started today with the con-
slderation by the leaders of the first
schedule. Some changes may be car
ried to the house and put into the bill
in the democratic caucus. The demo-
cratic caucus reached only the third
schedule at the end OF today's session
None of the amendments offered were
accepted. though free discussion was
encouraged in all classes
NO TARIFF HEARINGS.
The senate finance committee has
determined not to have hearings on the
tariff bill. Manufacturers in many lines
OF industry have appealed for an op-
portunity to present arguments against
the rates proposed in the Underwood
bill. The senate committee members
take the position, however, that the
hearings conducted by the house ways
