NAVAL COURT PROPOSED
 IN STATE OF WASHINGTON

Spokane, Wash, Feb. 5-A court of law where lawyers will not be per mitted to appear, except perhaps in their own behalf. is the experiment to be tried here shortly under the provisions of recently enacted state law.
 Total court fees, under provisions of the act, will be $1.5O-$1.00 for an appearance by plaintiff having a claim not to exceed S20 and 50 cents additional to the constable or deputy sheriff serving a summons on the de- fendant.
 Both parties to actions must ap- pear in person and may summon wit nesses. No assigned claims can be tried in the small claims" court, and no attorney or any person other than the parties directly concerned with the suit may "concern himself or in any other manner interfere with the prosecution or defense of the litiga- tion without the consent of the jus tice."
 The novel court is to be presided over by s. c. Hyde, a justice of the peace. He may enter a judgment fo1 payment of claims in any manner he sees fit, and in case of refusal to sat isfy such judgment on the part ot the losing party he re.ay make an affidavit to that effect, whereupor the claim may be collected through justice or superior court procedure with consequent increases in costs tc the losing party.
