SALE LEOFT|CKETS
To BAR OUTING
BOOMING

Sale Of tickets to the annual
Bar to Bench outing Of the Bar
Association tomorrow picked up
surprisingly yesterday, according
to report Of the ticket committee.
It is expected that more than 600
lawyers, in addition to number
of guests, will be present.
Plans have been made to insure
q maximum number Of paid ad-
missions to the outing. Members
of the committee will be on hand
at the entrance to the club
grounds to check in each ticket
when it is presented for admis--
sion. In exchange for the ticket
the member or guest will be given
an appropriate badge which must
be worn throughout the day or
else the person without his badge
may be called up to purchase an
other ticket.
Justices of the United States
Supreme Court will not be at the
affair. It seems that the highest
court in the land is in the midst
of a last-minute squirt to clear its
docket before adjourn1ng Tor the
summer recess.
That fishing party which in
cluded Justice Oscar R. Luhrlng,
Leslie c. Garnett, Christopher
Garnett, Roy st. Lewis and others,
has returned from oregon Inlet
with reports of record catches.
In fact, they claim the fish bit
so readily and were hauled in so
rapidly and were so large that 1t
almost became a bore to keep
batting the hooks.
The only thing that kept 1t from
being actually boresome, said JUS
tice Luhring, was the fact that
bluefish were biting rather freely
and they gave an added result to
the paStime. At any rate, the
group all insist, to a man, that
they actually fished on the trip.
A certain Detroit attorney who
has been in communication with
some of our local lawyers, is
frank if nothing else.
Early this month, Josiah Ly-
man, AIS "little brother" was re-
tanned as counsel by one Tyler,
who had been served with process
by publication in the District Of
Columbia III a suit pending in
Michigan. Josiah wrote the plain
tiff's attorney in Michigan, ask
ing for a copy Of the bill and
received the following reply, writ
ten on a postal card:
"No. 227-411 Chancery. Tyler
VS.. Tyler. Only relief here is
decree of divorce. She says she
is through with him. If you
come in I will want security for
costs ETC., which you no doubt
will furnish. The idea is to COM
pei payment of costs as you 60
copy of bill will be forwarded
Immediately on appearance"
Not being satisfied with such a
postal card reply, Josiah consulted
Richard Harman, in whose suite
he maintains his office and Mr..
Harman wrote the Detroit lawyer
asking for additional details and
somewhat criticising the indefi-
nitenesS of the postal card reply
to the former letter. Mr.. Harman
then received a postal card in re-
ply to his letter. It was signed
by the writer and said:
"Mr. Harman: Expense IS be-
hind my action. 1 am q cheap
jackasS lawyer getting only a
few dollars for such cases, and
I find it troublesome to buy
stamps and paper and envelopes
nothing else. Copy of bill costs
about two cents and where am
1 to get it-unleSS you force me
by entry of appearance. Your
letter of May 8 is cOrrect-ah-
mOny and share Of dover is out
because of no jurisdiction and
also because decree only is
asked"
Messrs Lyman and Harman sent
the lawyer two cents and got the
