 Superior Judge Sweeney succeed
 ed in opening yesterday mornings. s. session of court in the new court
 room on scheduled time, large
 crowd Of attorneys and spectators being present to sec the curtain rais- ed While from an artistic and
 architectural standpoint the new court room is q beauty, yesterdays
 session of the YaWpai county tribu-
 nal revealed one big defect in the large room. and that is that the acoustic properties of the court room orc 2 lai ,5avs fror, 1eirg what they should. Persons speak ing in an ordinary tone of voice rais- cd such rumble that others stand ing few feet way from them could not distinguish the word. Ii two per sons al the same time. a roar was set up which echoed from wall to wall ard sounded very much like the noise which comes from yelling into a rain barrel. It is believed, how ever, that by stringing a number of wires near the ceiling or by drap- 'ng a few heavy curtains about the room the sound waves can be eliru- mated
 Another feature which the attor- neys are kicking about is the plac- 'ng of tho jury box so that the jur- DTS will be compelled to sit facing inc large windows on the east side of the room It is understood that m effort will be made to have the interior arrangement altered a bit so that the courts business can be tran sacted more expeditiously with more comfort to the jurors who will have to spend long stretches of time lis tcnyg to the testimony.
 Judge Sweeney believes that he is entitled to feel bit chesty over the dandy fixtures which have been in stalled in his private suite of rooms which connect with the court room. All of the furniture is finished in some of it wood and some metal Judge Sweeney has three large rooms at his disposal and will have about as fine an office as a is furnished any judge in the south | west corner of the map.
