 ARE TOO NUMEROUS
 IN ALL THE COURTS Bailiff Patterson Reproyed for Ap- bearing Before Committee With Revolver in His Pocket--Work of Judicial Committee Here Ended
II, CHARLES II. MANDY

That Jefferson county is paying $24 900 a year to bailiffs who work almost exclusively for the sheriff and the fees resulting from their work. was the statement made yesterday afternoon by Walter l.. Howard, bailiff of the cir cult court. at the hearing before the legislative recess committee on judi cial reform. held yesterday afternoon at the Motion hotel.
 He also stated that too many bailiffs were employed in each court and gave to the committee the number he thought would be sufficient, provided they gave their entire time to the duties of the court and not be required to work for the clerks and sheriff He said that there were 10 baififfs in the four divis- ions of the city court and that seven was ample That of the seven in the two divisions of the circuit court four were sufficient, and that four were enough for the two divisions of the criminal court instead of the six now employed, and that there was no use at all for a bailiff in the ehancery court. He stated that some of the bailiffs were required to put in their entire time on clerical duties and that others worked almost all the time for the sheriff
 A number of bailiffs were summoned to appear before the committee and for the first time since the hearing began were required to take the oath before making their testimony. Testimony of a sensational character developed and Bailiff Tom Patterson was reproved by the committee for appearing before them with a pistol concealed on his person. The bailiffs all gave their testi- mony frankly and with one or two eN- captions answered all the questions propounded by the committee without evasion In reply to questions from the committee admission was made that Saturday night and Sunday raids were planned and that negro spotters were employed to locate craps games and that they were paid so much per head for the captured victims.

Miller Advises Caution

Nat l.. Miller advised caution in making change in the practice and procedure of the law courts, stating that if too much power was given the judges the practice would become one of men rather than law. He said the present procedure was the accumulated wisdom of many genera tions of able lawyers and that nasty changes might tend to injure rather than help.
 H. K. White strongly advocated legal reforms and urged the committee to sim plify If possible pleadings and procedure He presented to the committee a copy of the bill creating the municipal court of Chicago in which he stated were marked sections in reference to pleadings which he thought might be wisely incorporated in the laws of Alabama. He favored the recommendation of judges by the bar as- sociation and the consolidated court bill.
 w. R. Fairiey. international organizer of the United Mine Workers of America. appeared in the interest of the workmen' s compensation bill and made a strong plea for its passage.
