JUSTICE WHEELER LAUDS COURTS OF
 STATE IN SPEECH
Connecticut Proceedings Su- perior to Those Prevalent
 in New York.

Stamford, Oct. 25-The Stamfard d Bar association held it's annual meet ing followed by a dinner in this city elected.
 Among the speakers present were Judge John E. Wheeler, Homer S. Cummings and Judge George w. Wheeler of the. supreme court of CT TOTS.
 Justice Wheeler injected consider able quiet humor into his speech and it found a ready response His rem iniscences of court scenes that had come under his attention thoroughly amused the lawyers. In the course of his remarks, he brought the methods that prevail in the practice of law in New York and in Connectf- cut into contrast, and the compari- son was all in favor of Connecticut He referred to an article in New York newspaper of recent date, in which were given at length extracts from a lawyers brief in come ctio1t with a, case that had not yet been ar gued in court, and he went on to say that such a happening would be inn possible in Connecticut. He also re- called to the attention of the diners the prosecution of a New York news paper writer for contempt of court, a number of years ago when the late Samuel Fessenden was States Attor- ney, and quoted from the writer's tel egrams Ito his paper to bring home to the audience that the Connecticut methods impressed the newspaper re- porter as superior to the chaotic court procedure in New York.
 Lawyers and laymen the country over. in too great numbers. feel that the law is game to be played out as the rules of sport go,' said the jus tice. 'I have no sympathy with the notion that the trial judge is a mere umpire, to see that 8 trial is fought out according to rule and to interfere only when it is not carried out by rule There is an impression or feel ing that the trial judge should keep his hands off, and sometimes the judge actually seems to believe that he has no responsibility other than consulting the docket, and no duty to perform except to try such matters as counsel may urge. That rule of the game invites anything for success, anything to put the judge in 9 hole, anything to break down a witness. Practice of this character lowers the profession. and dishonors the law
 The speaker added that this por-s traya1 was not the portrayal of the Connecticut Jurisdiction. He said he was proud to say that the Connecticut courts especially in the last 0 or 5 years, have done much to discourage this theory of playing the game
 Justice Wheeler closed his address with tribute to the good work bar associations have done and are capa- ble of doing for the noble profes- sion on whose activities all the inter ests of the land lean."

 In respect to the local food prob lem, it may be recalled that soon af- ter the war began the governor of the islands called a mass meeting at the capital and advised the people to go to the soil and grow foodstuffs.
