AGAINST SPECIAL
TERMS OF COURT

CLARKSBURG. w. Va. Dec. 30
A recommendation of the committee
on grievances that the law be amend
ed TO prevent the holding of special
terms OF court unless all litigants are
duly notified caused lively discussion
at today's session OF the West Vir-
ginia Bar association here. Injected
into the discussion was the sugges-
ton that regular terms or court be
abolished entirely and that the courts.
following the federal practice for
equity cases. be open TO the people all
the time. 10 also was pointed out
that this system had been adopted IN
California. No decision was reached
the recommendation being referred to
the new committee on grievances for
further action.
The committee also recommended
that writs of error be allowed in con
tempt proceedings. This part of tue
report was adopted.
The association recommended thu
following changes in state laws:
A verdict by nine jurors in a
jury of IL and by 4 in a jury OF
g in the trial of all civil cases.
The authorization of married
women 10 warrant generally the
title TO their separate property
when conveying the same.

Without Break In English Parliament
Government Bill Will Co
Through.

LONDON. Dec. 81. 1:55 a. m.-An
audience which Premier Asquith had
with the king gave rise TO reports of
actual cabinet designations. II Is
stated. however. on the best authority
that this was not the case and that
Premier Asquith saw the King with
reference to the general situation and
the new years honors.
The draft committee OF the cabinet
which is said to include Sir John
Simon, engaged in preparing the pro
posed bill, is reported to have re-
jected two or three drafts already but
has now virtually settled on the
method which will be to make the
Derby Scheme statutory and only for
the duration OF the war The men
who have not attested would be or
dered to enroll themselves within a
given period OF a fortnight or three
weeks.
II is said that the government is
confident of its ability to pass the
bill through all sages in a fortnight.
that is. several days before Parlia-
ment would die a natural death. but
for the bill prolinging its life. This
bill has still to run the gauntlet OF
its final stages and IL obstructive jsc-
tics should be adopted with regard TO
the compulsory recriting measure. II
might still be possible for tho min
listers to resort to a general election
as an exit from a difficult situation.
This however. is not regarded prob
able. In fact the feeling in political
quarters tonight that they are more
confident than ever that the crisis will
entail no designations OF importance.
The fact that the King returned TO
Sandringham last night seems to con-
firm this view.

decide. 1t Is probable that OlSOn VIII
draw the heaviest censUTe, for he
battled the arbiter after he had been
parted from Good.
It occurred in the seventh inning
with two out. Good cracked a
healthy swat down the base line that
was worth two bases. Wilbur at
tempted to reach third and was easily
out, apparently. But he made a des-
perate slide, coming into Olson Vi
ciOusIy, spikes first. The ball was
knocked from VANS hands.
Olson made no attempt to recover
the pill, but swung his trUsty right
among WiIbUr's features and the two
athletes scuffled around on the
ground in an edifying spectacle.
Quigley and several players rUmbled
to the scene and the umpire emerged
from the mess carrying the bUrly
Olson in his arms. The latter tried
to twist the Umpire's neck, but was
planted on the bench. Then both
players were canned and the game
ended when Fisher went out.
Olson claimed he battled Good be-
cause the latter made deliberate at
tempt to spike him.
Umpire oUigIey was the only one
who came out with hOnOrs. He
showed commendable nerve in butt
ing in and carrying off Olson, who is
pounds heavier than the indicator
handler.
Suspensions are probable for both
athletes.
Boosting a two-game lead, the
Cubs start a long eastern trip today
with a game at Pittsburgh. From that
city they travel to Brooklyn, where
they will find a real ball team ready
to do battle.
To return with their lead UnchaI-
Ienged the Cubs must show marked
improvement in their playing. The
pitching must improve and so must
the fielding. Against Cincinnati's

show greater attacking power. Just
how dangerous this feature is can be
realized when it is remembered that
in the Cincinnati series Of four games
Jim Vaughn was the only pitcher
who managed to travel the distance.
And Hippo was wavering when his
battle was called.
Not one of Bresnahan's beavers 4
has pitched a good game for a week.
Zimmerman is hitting better than
any man on the club now. He pOled
five hits yesterday in ten attempts,
including two doubles and triple.
Eddie Collins, Jack Fourier and
John Collins, the SOx swatting trio,
pounded 10 hits for Is bases against
the Browns, so it was a parade for
the Rowland people. When these
three fellows hit the ball as they can
there is little for the SOx to fear from
the opposition. Altogether the SOx
poled Is hits, Felsch and Blackburne
each getting two.
The double defeat of the Sox Mon
day has set them back somewhat, but
they still have a twO-game hold on
first place over the Boston Red SOx
and should maintain It on the home
lot, as the fasteners will be in alien
territory.
Manager Rowland has made a good
move in securing Memo LiebOld from
Cleveland for the waiver price. The
diminutive Outfelder will be used in
left to replace Paddy Roth and head
the batting order. Which fills long
felt want on the South Side.
FeIsch, who has been leading off,
is a solid hitter, but will be more valU-
able dropped down in the batting
order. He is not the waiter Liebold
is and neither does he move around
the paths with the speed Of the for
mer Milwaukee midget. The new
