Special to The World.

Special to The World
OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. "a bill
TO correct the conditions resulting
IRON the recent decision OF Presiding
Judge Thomas Doyle of the criminal
court of appeals with regard to the
powers of police courts will be intro
duced in the Oklahoma Legislature
within the next few days by Repre-
sentative =. y. Disney of Muskogee.
Members from Oklahom1 and Td!sd
counties probably will 'oin him IN
the Introduction OF the measure.
The bill you'd practically abolish
all justice of the peace courts in
Tulsa, oklahoma city and Muskogee
by limiting their jurisdiction to ciVil
cases in which not more than 81 Is
involved. Their criminal jurisdiction
would be removed endroiy. Uuder
the constitution the justices courts
cannot be entirely abolished. but the
legislature does have the right to
define their jurisdiction.
New Kind of Court.
The bill proposes to create a neN
kind of municipal court to replace the
existing justices and police courts.
1t would he presided over by "A mu-
nicipal judge, who would be paid an
annual salary sufficient to command
all of his time. The court wonll
have the same jurisdiction as is now
held by a justice of the peace and
every defendant would be entitled to
a trial by jury.
Mayor Overholser of Oklahoma
City announced today that he would
not ask the legislature to pass any
legislation restoring the police court
to its former standing. He said lie
was willing for the lawmakers 10
work that question out to their own
satisfaction.
What Brought Ruling.
There is some opposition to the po-
lice courts that have existed in the
larger cities heretofore Men of NAT
row vision and possessed of pre- mdices
have occupied the bench in many in
stances and they have exercised, 1t
is said. arbitrary authority that was
neither commensurate with justice
nor consistent with common sense.
II is this state of affairs that brought
the Doyle decision and II is this state
of affairs that Representative Disney
and his colleagues would correct
The very best lawyers in the house
say that the proposed bill is consti
tutional.
1t may he so constructed as not to
Immediately affect Justices of the
peace who are now holding office IN
the three cities mentioned.
II Tulsa and oklahoma county
members are not willing to support
the measure in body II probably
will be made local bill to Apply
solely to Muskogee.
