WALKER INTRODUCES A
BILL IN LEGISLAT URE
TO ABOLISH THE Juice
COURTS. MEASURE WILL
MEET WITH POPULAR
FAVOR.

Representative Walker, of Ben
Hill county, author of house
bill to abolish the office of justice
of the peace in all municipalities
of 5000 or more inhabitants, in
tends pressing his measure, if he
can, to an early issue. He would
let the work now done by justices
OF the peace so through the Off
ces of the magistrates of the va
rlous municipalities.
At the Legislative session of
1912 an act was passed amending
the constitution in such a manner
as to do away with justices of the
peace in all municipalities of 20,
600 or more population, except
the city of Savannah. This law
became effective July 80, 1912,
since which time, Mr.. Walker
holds, while justices of the peace
have held Office in various cities
OF the state, none OF them, except
Savannah, have done so legally.
The Walker bill would remedy
this by striking the phrase Eek
cept the city Of Savannah" from
the existing law, and also he
would lower the minimum popu-
lation limit so as to include all
cities Of 5000 instead of 10000

MUZZLING ORDER HAS
BEEN ISSUED BY BAKER
Will Suppress All News CON-
corning Troop Movements

Washington, uly 1.-Secretary
Baker announced today that ord
ers have been sent to all depart
ment army commanders to sup
press all news concerning troop
movements.
The order follows:
In view of the fact that gencr-
al knowledge of troop movements
en- route to the Texas border or in
Texas, might result in some ma
licious act that might seriously
hamper these movements and al
SO might result in unnecessary
loss of life among troops, it is di-
reCted that all concerned be in
structed to the effect that no in
formation as to movement of
troops is to be given to represen-
tatives of the press or any indi-
viduals other than the officials of
the railroads concerned or the
representatives of the American
Railway Association local at the
various headquarter departments.
