BAR ASSOCIATION FAVORS SES.
SIoNS EARLIER IN FALL
AND STRING
MEETING HELD YESTERDAY
Matter Was Referred to Committee
Who Will Prepare Bill and Submit
1t At Meeting Of Association to Be
Held Next Saturday.

The Brunswick Bar Association
held an interesting meeting at the
court house yesterday morning, al
which number of matters were TAX
en- up. While the meeting was held
primarily for the purpose of discuss
ing work to be done by the super
ior court during the coming week, 9th
er matters of more interest came
up and were referred to committees
1t was decided by the association
to postpone all civil cases which have
not been tried during the session and
the week will be devoted to two
criminal cases, they being V. II. Da
Wis and J. H. Thompson, both charg
ed with murder. After these two cas-
es are completed the court will ad
journ for the session.
Want Sessions Changed
One important matter to come up
before the meeting was the sugges-
tion that the time for the regular ses
sions of the Glynn superior court
be changed. At present the court
meets in December and May, the fall
session coming during the Christ
mas holiday rush and the spring ses,
sion coming at a time when it always
runs the court into the hot summer
days. The suggestion yesterday was
to have bill prepared and passed
fixing the fall session. earlier and
also the spring session, thus avoid
ing the court being in session during
the holidays and also preventing the
court working in the midst of the
summer. The matter was referred
to committee composed of Attor
neys Max Isaac, j. w Bennett, and
f. II. Harris, who will prepare the
bill and submit it at meeting of the
association to be held next Saturday
| The lawyers generally favored such
change and it is probable that the
bill will be prepared and passed dur
| ing the present session of the legis
lature.
1t was also announced at the meet
| ing that two other bills, of state
wide interest, would be introduced
during the present session of the
legislature, one of them changing The
present garnishment law and anoth
er regulating the practice of law III

TRAFFIC PASSING
THROUGH CANAL
Suspension of Railroad Service
Brings About Premature Open
ing of Canal to Trade.

Washington, May 14.-For the
first time water borne traffic is now
passing through the Panama canal,
according to reports that have been
received at the headquarters of the
Panama Railroad in New York.
Though confirmation of the re-
port has not reached the Washing
ton office of the Isthmian canal COM
mission, it is known that ample pro-
vision had been made by Colonel
Goethals for the institution of water
service beginning not later than MAY
lOth. AS matter of fact, accord
ing to the Panama Railroad reports.
the service actually began last Sat
urday and a steady stream of barges
in tow is now passing through the
canal
Tremendous congestion in inter
oceanic commerce caused by the sus-
pension of service OF the Tehuante-
pee Railroad in southern Mexico
brought about this rather premature
opening of the canal to trade. Sew
erai or the great freight liners, which
in conjunction with the similar SER
vice on the Pacific. maintained trade
lines between Europe and the far
East via Tehuantepec. have recently
appeared at Colon and Panama offer
ing cargoes for shipment overland
far beyond the capacity OF the Pan
anna Railroad.
Colonel Goethals has not yet re-
ported to Washington Just when the
canal will be opened to merchant
shipping, but the understanding here
is that the waterway is practically
finished and that even now there is
a sufficient channel through the
Culebra cut for almost any warship
or liner.
1t is understood that this barge
service is to be operated on about a
IL hours schedule from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, which allows about an
hours delay in each Of the locks.

REBELS TAKE TAMP|CO
AFTER FIERCE STRUGGLE
Federals Retreat, Going Toward
San Luis PotOSi.
HOSTILITIES END FOR TIME
The Federals Are Maintaining Armis-
tice So Far as Americans
Are Concerned

Washington, May 3.-Evacuation
of Tampico by the Mexican federal
garrison began at 1880 p. m. today,
according to a relayed wireless dis
patch to the navy department from
Rear Admiral Mayo. The federal
troops were leaving by the railroad.
That the rebels encountered des-
perate resistance in their final at
tack, and that they were compelled
to carry their fight to the heart of
the town, was indicated by Rear Ad-
miral Mayo's report. He reported
that at 1 o'clock today, when it was
reported that the rebels had occu-
pied Tampico, there was heavy rife
firing in the plaza and that big gun
firing continued.
Advices received by Constitutions
alists here said the federals were
evacuating Tampico, but details were
lacking.
Tie federals were retreating by
way of the railroad leading to San
Luis Potosi, and it was assumed that
they hoped to reach Pachuca, the
terminus of a railway line that leads
directly to Mexico City. The rail
roao out of Tampico to Monterey is
held by the Constitutionalists.
