Omaha, Neb., Dec, 2I.--DeWey

in the county Jail at Alliance, Nep''

had arrived for the wedding and
Dewey, respondent, cashed two
checks declared to be no good, al
though he claims to have money in
the bank at Green River, Wyo.,
where he has been employed az a
dispatcher for the Union Pacific.
Russell, who claims to be a grad

now is that another girl in Green
River will hear about his plight
and also spurn him. He said he
might fight the provision in his
uncle's will that he marry by

NAL of Justice" Chief Justice Will
liam Howard Taft said tonight in
an address urging reforms to ex-
pedite court procedure. He urged
three reforms which he outlined
as follows:
"An increase in the judicial force
in the trial federal courts, and an
organization and effective distri-
button of the force by the council
of judges.
simplicity OF procedure in the
trial federal courts.
"A reduction in the obligatory
jurisdiction Of the supreme court
and an increase in the field of its
discretionary jurisdiction by GER

while the bar and the bench
are really much less responsible
for delays in legal procedure than
the public is likely to think, the
very fact that they are popularlv
supposed to be responsible should
make us act with energy to justify
the existence of our profession and
the maintenance of courts" he
added.
