ID OPPOSE GUT IN
 NUMBER OF JUDGES
Meeting of Lawyers Called for Tomorrow to Protest
 Against Proposal

Strong opposition has developed among the lawyers of Birmingham to the proposi- ton suggested by the recess committee on judicial reform in reference 10 the re- duotlon of judges of the county court. and mass meeting of the bar and others interested has been called for tomorrow at the courthouse to protest akainst the measure. It is stated the committee rec ommends reducing the present number of judges 10 five with the proviso that if additional judges are required they can be secured from other judicial circuits of the state.
 There are many attorneys who insist that the judges of Jefferson county should be increased and point to the splendid record made during the four months an additional judge sat on the bench of the criminal court as an evidence of that need, There arc thousands of untried ca ses on the docl<ets of the several county courts, and there are those who insist that to reduce the number of judges. even though additional judges could be se- cured. would tend to incerase the number of untried cases in each of the courts.
 The call for the meeting follows: Mass meeting at courthouse Monday. July 12. at 10 o'clock to protest against reduction of judges for Jefferson county to five. Come and prevent false notions of econ omy from working great injustice 10 the people of our county. w. T. Stewart, James B. Burgin. L. J. Haley. J. NJ Bradley, Jr'

JUDICIAL REFORM : OF REACHING
 NATURE PLANNED
Chairman Legislative Re cess Committee Outlines Plans to State Bar
 Association
By L.. s. BETTY

a Montgomery. July -(Special.)-Judi- cial reforms of a far-reaching nature are contemplated in some TO or more bilis prepared by the joint committee on the judiciary, according to Chairman w. C.. Davis, who gave a brief outline Of the work of the committee to the Alabama State Bar association today.
 Chairman Davis speech was one of the features of the morning session of the bar association. He explained at length the most important reforms to be inau gurated if the bills prepared by the com nittee are passed by the legislature, and told of the efforts of the committee dur ing the three months recess 10 secure the unbiased opinion of judges and lawyers throughout the state on the im- portant subject of court and law revision. One of the most important reforms con templated provides that the supreme court shall have power to make all rules of procedure. This power Is now possessed { by the higher court only in a modified form.
 The chief justice of the supreme court is given supervision over all the circuit judges of the state, with power to trans fer them from one circuit to another and with authority to direct the efforts of solicitors.
 In explaining why this power was taken out of the governors hands, Chairman Davis stated that he thought this func-
 
 There may be some of us who favor curtailing the governors power," said MT. Davis, but 1 have too much rev. erence for the constitution and for the ime-honored precedents that have sur rounded the executive to take one scin- tilla of authority out of his hands ex- cept that which rightfully belongs to some other department
 MT. Davis remarks were received with loud applause.
 To Make All Circuit Judges
 The committee has prepared bills re ducing the number of judges in the state from 51 to 25 or 30. All city and equity courts will be abolished according to the recommendations of the committee, and all judges will be known as circuit judges. Eight judges will be provided for Jefferson county instead of 10 the present number. Montgomery will be given two judges and Mobile will be 2 given three judges No circuit will con tain more than four counties.
 Other provisions of the bill require every circuit judge to serve one month every year outside of his circuit the transfer to be made by direction of the chief justice of the supreme court. More over, if one circuit Is crowded with work the chief justice will have authority to transfer to that circuit judge from any part of the state. Circuit judges when travelling In other circuits thar their own, will receive their expenses Courts will be open all the year round Both circuit and chancery judges will
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-07-11

be given equity jurisdiction immediately, according to MT. Davis The other changes will be made from time to time, no judges being legislated out of office before January, 1917.
 The supernumerary judge will be re- tained. Chairman Davis said he did not know why.
 Bills of Exception
 As under the present statute, lawyers are given 90 days in which to prepare their bills of exception, but the trial judge is only given 30 days in which to sign the bill of exception. Under the present law. the trial judge is given 90 days, al- reach the supreme court. This change will cut the length of appeal down to four months.
 gurated will require the clerk of the court of appeals and the clerk of the supreme court to supply certified copies of the higher courts opinions to the clerks of the trial courts within five days after the opinion is rendered
 Regarding jury commissioners the com mittee has prepared a bill providing for the appointment of one commissioner by the governor, one by the chief justice of the supreme court, and one by the board of revenue of the various counties. Un- der the present law, the governor ap- points jury commissioners for the sev- eral counties of the state.
 Various other recommendations will be made to the legislature by the judiciary committee. the bills covering the various reforms being more than 70 in num- Der.
