DR.. PUTNEY LECTURES
AT WASHINGTON STUDY
American U. Professor Discusses
Methods of Courts in Eng
land and United States.

Similarity between the administra-
ton of justice in England and in the
United States was traced by DR.. AL
bert II. Putnev Of American Univers-
ity. in a lecture yesterday before the
Wa shington Study.
Indeed, some States here differ
more from each other than they differ
from Engla nd" said DR.. Putney.
In the past century. the speaker
said, there were two men largely re-
sponsible for court reform in the year
1873, who were in no way connected
with the vernment-DiCkens and
Bentham-but whose writings in
f1uenced English thought.
THE Supreme Court in England, it
was explained, now is divided into the
Court of Appeal and the Court of
Justice, and each OF these is again
divided and subdivided: but the total
number of judges in England is less
than the number of Federal judges
in the United States"

farmers of the West and Middle West
that their interests lie in the support

reason, they are laying the ground
work for an assault on the Republican

DECISION NOW NEAR
Outcome of Senate Contest
Uncertain as Subcommittee
Starts Work.

The subcommittee of the Senate
privileges and elections committee in
charge Of the Brookhart -Steck con-
test. today tackled the actual work
of reaching a decision and framing
a report for submission to the full
committee.
The subcommittee had before it the
5000 or more contested ballots in the
Iowa senatorial election of 1924, and
was going over them with care TO
determine whether they should be
counted. and if counted, for whom.
Members of the subcommittee said
it might be two or three days before
they could complete their work and
report to the full committee.
Outcome Uncertain.
The contest for the seat now held
by Senator Brookhart is 80 close, 1t
is said, that the final decision of
the Senate may go either way. IL mas
been understood however, that n ma
iority of the subcommittee, IL not
all the members, have believed Danlef

cratic opponent, should he a"arded
the seat. This final survey of the
may make a change in the conclusion,
however,
Should the subcommittee, consist
ing of two Republicans and two Dem
ocrats, report adversely on Senator
Brookhart, undoubtedly 1t would go
hard with him in the full committee
and in the Senate itself. From a
political standpoint, much depends
upon the settlement of the Brookhart-
Steck contest. Senator Cummlns, Re-
publican, of Iowa is to come up Tor
denomination and reelection TINS
year. The primaries are IN June
Senator Brookhart will enter the race
against Senator Cummins, if he is
unseated. and reports from Iowa in
dicate that Brookhart would stand
a good chance of winning.

the Republican primaries, State Sen.
ator Bowman and Howard Clark or
Des Moines, former follower OF
Senator Cummins. Should senator
Brookhart enter the race II Is pe'
lieved that Bowman would retire'
leaving a three-cornered contest.
The long delay in the settlement
of the Brookhart case has led to re-
ports that regular Republicans pre-
fer to postpone the decision untll
after the time has passed for the
filing of nomination papers IN Iowa
which expires April 27. 1t is believed
however. that should 1t become
apparent the case could not be hnailN
