place these rules with few statutory provisions forming the basis of pro- cedure, leaving all the details to be supplied by rules of court The inn portant equity practice of the fed eral courts of the country is governed without difficulty by a few rules pro- mulgated by the supreme court. There IS no other way, it seems to me, to give the requisite simplicity and elasticity to procedure. There may be prejudice among lawyers to com mittins this power to the bench, be- cause of the fear that rules of prac- tice will be removed from the range of the just influence of the bar. This, l think, is misapprehension. It would be far easier to convince court of the necessity of a change in it's rules than to convince the legisla- ture, while on the other hand unnec- essary tinkering would be made more difficult
 Justice in Minor Courts.
 Justice in the minor courts," he concluded, "the only courts that mill lions of our people knoW-admin istered without favoritism by men conspicuous for wisdom and probity is the best assurance of respect for our institutions. The administration of commercial law by recognized experts in a direct fashion appropriate to the subject is needed quite as much as uniform state acts to commend the law to practical men of affairs. The stripping of criminal procedure of needless requirements, without inn pairing the security of innocence, and in general the fearless destruction of provisions which only embarrass the just disposition of controversies should not be long delayed"

 far more than has been done in the
 promotion of agreement rather than

 to a very great extent inspired by

 vince variations in statutes as to cor

 whether such variations are worth

 to secure harmony without sacrifice

FOUND NOT GUILTY.

 of Misuse of Mails.

CONSPIRING TO SHIP
 RUBBER TO GERMANY
Five Persons Indicted by Federal Grand Jury-Woman Was to
 Have Been Go-between.

New York, Jan. 15.-Four men and a woman were indicted yesterday by federal grand jury on a charge of conspiring to violate the customs laws of the United States by shipping con- traband rubber to Germany. Those indicted were Edward Weber, a cousin of Albert Weber, an official of the Deutsches Bank in Berlin; Paul Schmidt, Weber's partner in the Rub- Der & Guayule Agency of this city; Max Jerger, German maker of au- tomobile accessories; Mrs. Annie Dekkers, a native of Holland and Richard Wohlberg, naturalized citi- zen, who operates rubber and ce- ment factory here. The Guayule Agency also was made a defendant.
 According to Assistant United States Attorney Harold Content, Mrs. ,Dek- ker was to have been the go-between. Her sex and the fact that she had been in the habit of making frequent trans Atlantic trips were relied upon to pro- tect her from suspicion. The rubber was to be carried by her as personal baggage and in that way would not have to appear on the ships manifest. Four and a half tons of rubber were obtained by the alleged conspirators according to MT. Content before the first attempt at shipment was made. On November 27, Mrs. Dekkers took passage on the HOlland-Amer1can liner Ryndan1, bound for Rotterdam. She had four trunks and eight pack ing cases filled with rubber, but which was marked personal baggage. Acting on information given the customs au- thorities by British agents Mrs. Dek- kers' baggage was held up and she was not permitted to sail.
 The matter was referred to United States District Attorney Marshall. The defendants will be arraigned for pleading in the federal district court next Monday.
 Albert Solomon, an importer; Sig mund Karman of Budapest, and AL bert B. Newman of Brooklyn, pleaded guilty in the federal district court last November to an indictment charging them with engaging in a conspiracy to import $100.000 worth of rubber into Germany by means of false mani fests describing the shipping at at ton waste and resin. Each was fined $500 by Judge Hunt.

 Due to Accident
 'Very often," he said, the differ. l ences that exist between state anC i federal laws governing different phase 1 of the same general activity are due more to accident or lack of fore. i thought than to difference in deliber- | ate purpose. We have had in OuI state too little regard for the renote1 and indirect consequences of legisla- i tion.
