COMMISSIONERS OPPOSE
COURT SYSTEM CHANGES

The District Commissioners are op-
posed to changing the new law gov
erning the operations OF the Munich
pal Court until that law has had a
thorough trial. they advised the Sem
ate District committee. in a letter
today.
The new Municipal Court law, which
enlarges the Jurisdiction Of that tri-
bunai to try certain damage cases
which now clutter the docket Of the
District Supreme Court. does not be-
come effective until June 3.
The letter of the Commissioners 10
. report on a bill now pending TO
amend in several reapects the new
law that has not yet gone into eject.
The most important of the proposed
amendments provides for an absolute
appeal to the Court of Appeals. where
as the new law makes an appeal op-
tional with the Court of Appeals.
Another amendment would leave out
provision for a summer jury term.
The Commissioners tell the Senate
that the Municipal Court is one OF
summary jurisdiction. and that the
elimination of summer jury term
would permit defendants to secure
delay for several months by demand.
ing jury trials. Doing away with q
summer jury also would tend to con-
gest the court docket in the fall, the
city heads believe.
1T is doubtless true" the Commits
sioners say, in conclusion. that in
the course of time the necessity for
changes will become apparent. but
such changes should only be made as
the result of experience"

That 80 per cent of the employees Of
the Government Printing ONCE are
honest. upright and Industrious" was
Public Printer George H. Carter. in
an address during the memorial ex-
ercises at the print shop today. '-
In the address he expressed the
hope that 1.-The gloomy days are fast
passing and that the morrow will
bring forth the bright and abiding
sun to radiate happiness all the rest
of our days together"
He followed up by saying:
Il firmly believe that fully 80 per
cent Of all the employees Of this great
establishment are honest. upright and
industrious. / have never met a finer
body of men and women in all my
life. Your high ideals and honorable
service are a wonderful inspiration.
and it is. indeed. great pleasure and
privilege to be associated with and
become one Of you"
Appreciates C0-Operation.
Mr. Carter expressed sincere ap-
probation "of the cordial, support"
rendered him thus far and asked for
further cooperation.
Without your cooperation" he
said. no public printer can succeed.
and I am hoping that with your aid
my efforts will not be in vain.
deeply regret that at the outset there
have been some rather distressing in
cidents. but can assure you that they
have been no less painful to me than
to those who have been involved.
''I recall saying to you when / spoke
at Mr. Ford's farewell that I intended
my administration as public printer
should stand for honest effort and de-
cent living. l meant 1t then and ]
mean il now. as some of your numbe r
not now here have undoubt edly real

the end by doing the right thing al
ways and in the right way. There
is no crook ed road to honor and sue
cess. It's a straight and sometimes
hard path. but one well worth while
pursuing to the end.
Senator Moses Speaks.
Don't misunderstood me. I'm not
a moralist or a reformer, as the terms
are commonly used. l only want to
stand for what Is right and honest
in life. I'm sure you are with me in

Fire n Military Operation.
That the destruction of the Dublin
customhouse was a militay opera
ton ordered by the Dali Eireum is
the statement made by the Irish Bui-

complete success"
lat one moment a misunderstood
signal caused the premature cessation

how the building was burned. but SO
exact was the discipline that the men
were Immediately recalled and the
operation completed. although hostiIi-

sides. but it is impossible to ascertain

rests with Gen. Sir Nevil Macready.
