JUDGES TO KEEP COURT GOING
CONTINUOUSLY JUST AS
LONG AS POSSIBLE.
WORK TO BE DONE NOW
UP TO THE ATTORNEYS
If Judge. Cummings and Willett
Have Cooperation Of Bar Five or
Six Months Of Court Are Likely to
Dispose of Large Amountef Business
Attorneys Expected to Complain.

A term of the district court was be-
gun Monday that is likely to last con-
tinuously, or nearly So just as long as
attorneys of the local bar let it. AS a
matter of fact, if the attorneys show
the same disposition to buckle to it,
and get rid of as much litigation as
possible, the term will very probably
continue with scarcely break until
Well into June.
Judges Cummings and Wlilett have
practically completed the arrange
ments for a six months term. 1t is
now up to the attorneys to help the
courts by showing Willingness to
bring their cases to trial. Otherwise
they may perhaps hinder litigation by
objections to the strenuousness Of this
proposed judicial marathon for the
sake of getting relief from court pres
sure.
We are going TO keep going as long
as we can" was Judge Cummings
comment on the plan for the long term
Monday afternoon. He and Judge Will
lett are hoping the attorneys Will sus-
tain the bench in their efforts to get
rid of accumulated business by being
ready for trial when cases are called.
1t is quite possible that by the time
the January term has been continued
clear up to the March term, and that
term has run It's usual six weeks, that
some of the lawyers will be yelling
enough" and will have all sorts of
apparently" good reasons Why court
should let up for a spell and give
everybody, especially the attorneys,

which has not as yet made Its neces-
sity felt, but because it is honestly be-
lieved that from a purely business
standpoint Mason City would be the
best selection. It is expected that
Cedar Rapids, Waterloo and Marshall
town, at least, will favor Mason City.
IL Clinton also favors the northern
town, as has been predicted, majority
may be attained. All this, however. is
on condition that Mason City comes TO
the meeting as it has declared 1t will.
and make good, Some of the southern
cities may favor Mason City, but as
vet they have not given expression to
the preference.
Election May Be Heated.
Some opposition to the present Off
ciary is also in prospect 1t having been
known for some time that there was
movement on foot in some quarters
to present a ticket In opposition to the
present officers. This opposition, how
ever, may be dependent upon the ac-
ton taken on the more important ques-
tons to come before the meeting. In
this connection the name of Belden
Hill has been frequently mentioned for
the presidency Hill, however, has
never been a receptive candidate, at
least not prior to recent weeks al any
rate The Hill boom, which was
started in Waterloo, has found sup

there We're also complaints from other
quarters as to the arrangement or
games. A shift in holiday games is
expected. with the northern cities get
ting the Independence day games, and
the southern cities those OF Memorial
DAY and Labor day. In all probability
the schedule will provide for 125 games.
as it did last year. There has been
no objection to the l25same schedule,
aside from the fact that it provides
for games every day of the league sea-
son, with no off days. as are usually
provided for in baseball schedules.

JUDGE CARMICHAEL
 IS OPPOSED

Judge John c. Carmichael: 'In my opinion, it would be unwise to call a constitutional convention. There does not appear to be any necessity for such ac- ton. nor any widespread demand for re- writing the fundamental laws of the state The new constitution. adopted in 90, has not yet been fully construed and the process of construing it's terms and applying its various provisions. will oc- cupy many years to come. Constitutions in the sense in which the several Amer ican states have adopted them, are limita- tions upon the exercise of political or governmental power, and they provide for protection to minorties against ma jorities, as well as protecting majorities from themselves.
 'The only limitation that occurs to me affecting the general welfare of the state which needs to be modified. is the one touching the subject of local taxation for school purposes. An amendment could easily be adopted to the constitution, pro- viding for the right of local communities to tax themselves for the benefit of their schools, and this. too, without the gen eral agitation which would ensue should a convention be called. Besides, the peo- pie of Alabama have been so deeply di- vided upon some questions in this state for several years, that I fear, should

Each firm which has prop erty for sale lists it with the ex- change; each member of the exchange then being privileged to sell the prop erty, in which event the seller, the lister and the exchange each get a per cent of the commission.

MURDER OF WILLIE TUCKER
 REMAINS DEEP MYSTERY Y
0y RICHARD F. LUSsIER

Who killed Willie Tucker?
 This question is very vital to the people of Ensley, who are thoroughly exercised over the crime which has been characterized by Coroner Spain as the most cold -blooded murder in the history of Jefferson county. AS yet the police have done nothing to solve the mystery surrounding the assassina- ton.
 Willie Tucker. aged IA years, deliv- cry boy, telephoned to his mother about e:3O o'clock last Monday night that he was coming home.
 About half way to his home at Nine- teenth street and Thirteenth avenue, Tuxedo Junction, on the South Ems ley car line, Willie's head was almost blown off by bullet from a heavy calibred pistol and death was instan- taneous, the boy falling off his bi- cycle without an outcry.
 An examination disclosed that who- ever fired the fatal bullet was at close range as the toy's neck was powder burned. The bullet had entered the back of the head near the right ear and had gone straight through the brain.
 What makes the people of Ensley impatient with the police in the pro- gress of the case is that Officer Gal 1ups evidently discovered the murdered boy just a few minutes following the firing of the fatal shot. Officer Gal lups admitted that the body was still warm and Italians living nearby in- formed the officer of having heard q pistol a few minutes previous. Despite the timely arrival of the police no trace of the murderer has evidently been found.
 Coroner Charles l. Spain has been on the scene for three days but confessed last night that failure had rewarded his efforts and that starting to inves- tigate crime 24 hours after it hap pened had its handicaps.
 There might have been chance for me to do something" said Coroner Spain. If had been on the scene at 10 o'clock Monday night, but then I was at home in Woodlawn, a good 10 miles away. However. the police were on the scene.
 ucfc lb HOW lllllo HOpe tntl Lne authorities will be able to apprehenJ the murderer of Willie Tucker. The fiend who committed the crime is. now lurking in his lair in safety, but at night he must suffer the tortures Of the damned He must see nightly the vision of his boy victim riding home on his bicycle and then in a moment of passion firing his pistol and seeing the boy fall. A ray of moonlight dis closes the inanimate form underneath the bicycle-blood trickles over the face of the youth and the fiend runs away at the approach of the police. That vision will sooner or later drive the murderer insane or to confession. This is the only hope of the police as they have no clue to the assassin or to a motive for the crime. For that mat ter, neither have I.
 But, as I have stated, psychology will solve this brutal crime. No man or boy can long face the torment of conscience after committing such a deed. Sooner or later the debacle of an anguished soul will come and then the ruth, in an impasisoned plea for mercy"
