The machinery Of law m
American cities Is clumsy. As
new conditions have arisen new
courts have been created until
there Is needless friction and ex-
pense. ChicagO has blazed the
way TO coordination by the crea-
ton OF municipal courts. These
have not yet exclusive Jurisdiction
over the administration OF law in
ChicaEo. but they are specialized
under a common administration
with a chief justice Among the
specialized courts are those OF do
nestle relations. boys. morals.
and speeders' courts. The Chicago
Municipal Court. with an able
chief justice and weekly meetings
OF the judges. begins TO approx
mate justice.
The successful Specialization OF
the municipal courts enables each
Judge TO give his attention TO
cases OF a certain type. thus enor-
mously increasing his efficiency.
IL also proves the necessity OF re-
form OF procedure in the courts.
\ husband refusing support TO
wife and children. but not aban-
doning them. must be tried in the
County Court. The support OF the
wife cannot be enforced there,
however. because this court only
has Jurisdiction In the case OF
blood relatives. The Municipal
Court, on the other hand. cannot
enforce a clause under the Pauper
Act because that Is the province
Of the County Court. II the az
Erieved wife goes to the Circuit or
Supreme Court she is told that re-
lief can only come I'm the form u
divorce. Thus the law encourages
divorce merely TO secure support.
The Domestic Relations Branch or
the Municipal Court has been emil
nently successful In keeping
people out OF divorce courts. but
II is grieyously handicapped by
the law. The court has n hard
time getting justice out Of the law.
The notoriety OF the divorce court
belongs TO different age from
the privacy OF the Chicago Court
OF Domestic Relations. In 1913
nifty per cent. OF the divided fami-
lies that appeared in this court
were reunited. The purpose OF
the judge is 10 sustain marital re-
latons. In less than one out or
I'VE cases does q lawyer appear.

economic causes. Offenses against
women and child labor laws are
within the province Of this court.
one OF the most significant fac
tors OF the Municipal Court OF
Chicago Is that one judge sits con
unuously and gains experience IN
dealing with offenses against the
domestic relations. He becomes a
specialist Sex alterations. even
when involving the welfare of the
home. are no longer Jumped with
burglary and murder.
In the first year OF the court
there were fewer than three
thousand cases. The third year
there were more than four thous-
and. Lawlessness has not n
creased. On the contrary. wronged
women and children without the
means TO employ legal talent seek
the court In greater numbers.
The first year $4,000 was paid
Tor non-support. the third year
100000. The unusual character
OF the court is evidenced by its
including a creche in its equip
ment in which a Christmas tree
was part OF the furnishing last
year. Two secretaries relieve the
judge, hearing ten thousand com
plants OF quarreling couples a
year. There is a court physician
and a visiting nurse. Many do
nestle difficulties come from
mental deficiency and venereaI
diseases. Married couples with
the minds OF children need Patio
logical treatment. Husbands
shown to be physically incapaci-
tated ind the maternal instinct
supplanting belligerency in com
planning wives. A sympathetic
court sitting twelve or fourteen
hours day becomes a refuge in
stead OF purgatory.
Chicago is not alone I'm its NUM-
cipal courts nor in its develop
ment of their peculiar functions.
Inc Municipal Court OF Cleveland

which follows the methods Of Nor

those districts is terrible.

have been burned.
The American mission property has

There has been no known loss of

COST OF LIVERY RIGS SOON EAT
UP THE PRICE OF A CAR -
PURCHASE WILL BE MADE
SOON.

Commissioner London stated this
morning that it was about decided to
purchase an auto for the police de.
partment, as a glance at the accumu-
lated bills for necessary auto hire for
the past two months has convinced
the commissioners than it was far
cheaper to own car than to pay
livery bills.
Mr. London stated that he had not
decided what car the department
would buy but that the Ford seemed
to be the best suited for their pur-
pose 1t has been adopted by Okla
homa City and several other places in
the state, and was giving good salts
faction with a minimum cost OF up
keep.
The police department has been
handicapped for the want of some
means of transportation of prisoners
when arrests are made, especially if
they are in some remote part of the
city and inclined to be rough. The
best they can do at present is to call
for livery cars, and the bills paid
monthly by the city would soon pay
for a car.
1t is the purpose of the commits
sioner to keep his department to the
highest point of efficiency, but this
is hard to do unless they have the
necessary equipment, and the most
necessary thing at present is a means
of transportation.
The car will probably not be pur-
chased before The first o. the coming
month.

and was hurried to Sherman for treat

paired of, but he rallied and soon was

SPECIAL OFFICER HAS BEEN .AP-
POINTED TO NOTIFY PROPERTY
OWNERS THAT THEY HAVE BUT
ONE MORE CHANCE.

Cut the weeds, or the officer will

This is a tip, as the special Of
ficer was authorized this morning to
secure a horse and saddle and pro-
ceed to notify every citizen wherever
weeds are found uncut, to get busy
with the mower before the second
call was made, as the second call
would mean arrest and fine.
Mack Pettitt has been appointed as
such special officer, and also as col
lector of delinquent street tax. There
is about fifteen hundred dollars of
street tax still delinquent and this
money the city wants to do business
on, and for that reason they have
made this appointment.
The citizens, as a rule, have re-
sponded readily to the mayors call
to cut the weeds and clean up gen.
orally, but there are few who have
paid little if any attention whatever
to his plea. These will he given one
more chance and after that they will
be brought before the mayor and
fined for neglecting to comply with

RINGlING PLANS TO
DO MUCH FOR TOWN

Ringing, Okla, July 14-What c.
w, Post did for Post City, Texas, John
Ringing will do for Ringing, Okla.
When here on his last visit, Mr.. Ring
ling stated that in all of the agricul-
tural portions of the United States
there was no other town so far from
railroad connections as the site on
which Ringing is located. This town
will draw cotton and wheat trade for
distance of twenty-five miles from
the south and also from the north.
The town has. within a radius of fif-
teen miles, four oil fields-Oil City,
the Healdton, the Graham, and the Lo-
co field This is the only town which
Mr. Ringing has named for himself
on any of the lines of road he has
built, and he is taking an active in
terest in the future of Ringing. An
ice plant has been built here this sum
mer. Plans are maturing for natural
gas and also for an electric light plant.
Mr. Ringing is now having the gas in
the Healdton field tested for gasoline
properties and if gasoline can be ma
nufactured from it, a plant will be
built here. The town is now enjoying
substantial growth, and the business
men are pleased with the volume of

TON CAR IS
N THE CITY
SHOWING THE. n THODS OF
HANDLING THE, ROP -
SAFETY IN PACkIk . SHIP.
PING PREVENTS LOSS.

How to handle perishable merchan-
disc with a minimum Oe claims for
damages, has been the study OF the
great railway lines of this country
for a number OF years, and their eff,
forts have been eminently successful
along these lines as the claims for
damages grow materially less each
year.
The following statement from the
local agent of the Frisco lines bears
ample testimony TO the good the de.
partment is doing toward successes
fully getting the products of the or,
chard and garden to the markets with
a minimum of loss, and to the salts
faction of the producer and purchaser
alike.
"In the past year the Frisco made
a decrease in claim payments of $780,.
600 over the previous year. Now that
the peaches are on the move, every
employe is educated to handle to avoid
a claim, which means that the gen
eral public will get better service for
the same monev. The demonstration
car which is here is another way
shippers can benefit them selves with
out extra cost"
The car is here today in charge
of Ashley P. Bowles, horticulturalist
of Springfield, Mo-, R. P. Elrod, farm
demonstrator of the Frisco lines of
Sherman, Tex, and J. F. Nicholson,
superintendent of the marketing di-
vision of the Frisco, with headquar
ters at st. Louis.
The car has been visited throughout
the day by many who are interested
in handling fruit and much valuable
information was gained as to the best
methods of handling, Grating and
shipping peaches. which was of es-
pecial interest to many shippers here
who are preparing to ship the Ell
berta crop, which is exceptionally
large this season.
The car made but two stops in the
state,-at Ada and in this city. 1t
has visited the fruit belt of the
Ozarks, and finishes its work here
tonight. and will be sent back to
headquarters.
