JUDGE WARNS

the courtroom, after a recess of sew
eral hours which he employed in
writing his decision, he was con-
fronted by defense motion asking
that the courts practice of opening
the morning session of court with
prayer be discontinued.
In addition the motion asked and
supported its request with signed
petition from churchmen outside
Rhea county, that If the prayer
opening should be continued the
court would permit some minister of
beliefs other than those of funda-
mentalists to lead the devout appeal.
In filing this motion, Arthur Gar
field Hayes, for the defense, was in
terrupted by the objections of At
torney General Stewart who declar-
ed that the court at this stage was
not an assembly met for the purpose
of hearing a motion.
The prosecution chiefs objections
was interrupted by Dudley Field
Malone, defense lawyer, in a sharp
verbal exchange. The court restored
order and announced he would refer
the petition to the Dayton Minister
ial Association with the request that
his body choose he clergyman who
should lead the daily prayer. The
crowd applauded.
The court then announced that he
would not publish his decision on
the quashing motion until tomor-
row, explaining that he had been in
formed that certain news reporters
or services had presumed to forecast
the tenor of his ruling and had dis
patched news reports to this effect.
Declaring that If it should be estab-
lished that the privacy of the court
had been violated he would immed-
lately institute contempt of court
proceedings against the accused
persons. He called for a conference
of representatives of the press and
dismissed the court session.
In the conference which followed
Judge Raulston ap-
pointed a committee of five reporters
whom he charged to investigate the
matter and report to him.
The committee was announced as

THE new schedules to become eff

In many cases these changes
make for greater uniformity in the

equitable distribution Of the cost of
service among the different classes
of customers. This Is especially true
of the reduction of the initial period
from five minutes to three minutes
in connection with the Is, 20 and

make the time for these particular
classes of services uniform with the
