Arkansas Police
Discover Convict
May Be innocent

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - By a
strange turn of circumstances it
was discovered this week that a
man was serving a three year
terms on the state farm near
Cummins for a crime to which he
pleaded guilty, but did not COM
NIT. Detective Sergeant Barrett
and Sheriff Branch have had a
bench warrant issued for the real
culprit who is under arrest in st.
Louis.
Both men involved the inno-
cent one and the guilty-have the
same name, James Williams. The
crime was the burlarizing last
March of a grocery by four Ne
groes. The next day, while di-
viding the loot, one of the quar-
tet was slain. Two were convict
ed-one of the the innocent Will
liams sent to prison. But
the real James Williams, accord
ing to police, eluded the officers
and has just been located in st.
Louis. Why the innocent VIII
liams appeared before the court
and pleaded guilty to store burg
larry, still remains a mystery. He
is 80 years old, while the man
brought back from st. Louis is

Worlds Championship
Rodeo TO Be Held Here
At The Sfufe Fuir Grounds

Rodeo Association of America, in
cluding Sesqui- Centennial at Phil
adelphia in 1926, was Arena Di-
rector at the Rodeo staged at the
Chicago Worlds Fair in 1888.
Dick Marchant says, "The Phoe-
nix Junior Chamber of Commerce
have demanded fast show, and
I promised to giev 'em one, my
slogans going to be, ninety
events an hour, or bust"
Prize money for the four days
will total between $4,000 and
$4,000. Merchants will offer val
liable prizes to event winners in
several divisions. Trick actors,
special attractions and contest
ants who are known as present
and past National Champions in
their particular lines are too nu-
merous to mention. You will just

had in mind a liberalization Of pro-
cedure by combining both law and
equity"
Combining as they do legal and
equity action, thereby establishing
only two sets of courts in the District,
legal and criminal, the changes were
characterized by Garfield as "a fare
well to common law pleading"
The present method of obtaining
a summons or subpoena direct from
court, he warned, would be discarded,
under the new rules. for the hip
pocket method" which he asserted a
majority of the Mitchell committee
has recommended to the Supreme
Court for adoption.
1T means" he said, that any dizzy
blond can go to crooked lawyer and
get him to dictate a summons to
serve in a breach of promise suit
against some banker. To the banker
it means you had better come and
settle up or I'll take you into court"
Effect Of Practice.
The chip pocket" summons, Can
field said, would have the same force
and effect as a summons issued by
the clerk of court, and the rule, he
explained, leaves 1t open to doubt as
to whether some person not a member
of the Bar Assertion would have a
right to serve it.
The local committee strongly pro-
tested this change and has urged that
our present rule for commencing ac-
ton. which has been in effect so long
and so successfully. be retained" he
said. "I am confident it will be re-
tained."l
KoenigSberger discussed the new
rules in connection with their effect
on jury trials, explaining an effort
was made to harmonic them salts
factorily to preserve the seventh
amendment inviolate. He discussed
also the effects on appellate action
and expressed the doubt If the Su-
preme Court has the power by rule
to abolish the present formula of filing
exceptions. In other respects, he said.
the new rules we're intended to lessen
the number of jury trials and elimi-
na.e some of the inconvenience.
Congress had designated September
l. 1887, as the effective date for the
new rules. Wheatley explained, but
due to the failure OF the Supreme
Court to render its report at the
opening session the chances are now
that they will not go into effect until
September !, 1888"

H|P-POCKET' PLAN
OF SUMMONS HIT
Proposed Use of Method in
District Denounced in
Legal Forum.

Proposed Introduction into the Dis
trict of Columbia of the so-called hip
pocket method" of serving a sum-
mons in breach Of promise suit or
other forms Of civil action was de-
nounced by AUSTIN F. Garfield,
Washington attorney, last night in a
legal forum conducted by Georgetown
Law School alumni.
I'VE want no legal threat, no legal
blackmail such as this" Garfield told
some 200 local attorneys assembled TO
hear interpretations of the new rules
Of civil procedure and practice pro-
posed in the Federal courts of all
States and the District Of Columbia.
Referring again to the suggested
change in the commencement of civil
actions, he said: Where come from
we call it slugging."
The "hip-pocket method" said to
be successful in New York and in
Minnesota, was only one of the many
proposed changes which came in for
criticism by members of the District
bar, many of whom had Joined Mon-
day night in vigorously protesting
President Roosevelt's plan for re-
making the Supreme Court.
Sees Court Practice Revolution.
While the suggested changes In
Federal civil procedure are not con-
nected with the Presidents plan for
judicial reorganization, local attorneys
were warned by various speakers last
night that whether you like it or not,
you might as we'll be prepared for
complete revolution" in the forms OF
court practice.
The forum speakers included also
John E. Laskey. former United States
attorney; j. Winship Wheatley and
Lawrence Koenigsberger. Presiding
was E. Barrett Prettyman, former
corporation counsel.
Under act of Congress. in 1894. the
Supreme Court was authorized to
draw up new rules of civil procedure
and practice in all Federal courts.
The Supreme Court is being advised
by a committee headed by former
Attorney General William D. Mitchell
and in turn by local committees of
bar members appointed by Federal
district courts. The speakers last
night were members of the District
of Columbia Advisory Committee so
appointed.
Laskey went so far as to assert
that he did not believe that the con-
templated changes were necessary in
the District" and quoted Judge Calvin
Chestnut of the United States District
Court of Maryland as saying that the
new rules were not necessary to expe-
dite civil procedure in that State.
Warns of Confusion.
He warned also they will result in
confusion" in some cases that may
take years of litigation to clear.
While admitting the proposed
changes are to "a large extent expert
mental" Wheatley declared that.

Flow of Merchandise Is
Measure of Prosperity
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor OF The Star:
The flow Of merchandise is prosperity.
The flow of money indicates prosperity.
The flow of merchandise is greatly re-
tarded by high prices and greatly stimu-
lated by low prices, as every merchant
knows. five per cent cut may double
the volume of goods moved into con-
sumption. A five per cent raise may
cause dry rot to what's on hand.
The flow of merchandise is determined
by that much-used phrase, buying
power" but buying power is not de-
termlned by the amount of money used
Tor buying, except as the money is
considered as the means of moving
merchandise, the movement of which
Is the prosperity itself and the thing
to be desired, and without which pros
perity cannot exist, whereas. money
alone may move without creating pros
perity.
Low prices make prosperity because
more movements can be made, and this
is true because a great number of the
incomes, the aggregate of all incomes
being the buying power are fixed in
comes. For example, take the sixty
five billion dollars now held by the
insurance companies, practically every
dollar of it will be paid out to become
fixed incomes. Widows and orphans
will have to live on it. At present
prices it will cause the movement of
so much merchandise. At half the
present prices it would cause the move
ment Of double as much merchandise.
II the Wagner Act, the wage-hour bill,
and the agriculture bill serve their
purposes and make prices higher at
double the present prices, it will cause
the movement of only half as much
merchandise. Families living on such
incomes, insurance money, stocks in in
dustries, pensions and other things that
have already been arranged by thought
ful and thrifty members of their fami-
lies. now dead and gone, will have to
eat only one pound of meat where they
need two, and these families constitute
the majority Of our ell fed, Ill clothed,
III housed one-third"
Some Of them will starve, too, before
they will go on relief and everything
that Is really worth while in life itself
we owe to the spirit that makes them
feel that way, however foolish it may look
to the man who stands at the factory
gate and says to the owner "They shall
not pass" w. STANLEY FREEMAN.

Thinks American Taste
For Art Is Retrograde
To the Editor Of The Star:

Occasionally reviewer uses words in
commenting on a book of art which
are just as applicable to country s
ills.
In Wednesdays Star Miss Germond
reviewed a book and had this to say:
I" The truth is that the American
people have been too much occupied
with the job of nation building and
money making to think very much about
exposing themselves to the true
products of divine inspiration and
honest craftsmanship And then
America went money mad. Opportunities
for acquiring wealth we're limitless and
the desire to make money became an
obceSsion y"
And now that the Nation is built
strong and rich, why in thunder do
we sit complacently and see it 10 to
the bow-Wows? In theory our form of
Government is the envy of the world
all strive towards its ideals, while we
here in America are doing everything
to sabotage it.
Shall it be said that while we were
competent to build a nation and amass
wealth, we were woefully incompetent
OF maintaining it? 1t is next to i'm
possible to convince those reared III
American individualism that neglect of
the arts is the direct cause of our
Ills. We built we'll, but can we nov
rest on our oars?
Where will you find an editor who
will sacrifice as much as a stick" of
space to some young and budding poet
and thus encourage an art all but ex-
tinct?
In city as diversified as our be-
loved Washington, with peoples from
every State and country in the world
we still get our stereotyped stories from
Paducah with the name of the city left
blank for the editor to fill in; we i'm
port our wise-cracking philosophy in the
same way, reproduced in a hundred
different cities in as many different
newspapers. We are a columnized Ma
ton, We live on borrowed architecture.
Where are the Zangwills, the Kiplings,
the ShaWs, who began by developing
local home-spun arts which became
world classics? We are a columnized
people when it comes to the arts.
Miss Germond is not on such sure
ground when she says in the same
article: "' But the past few years
have witnessed an extraordinary develop
ment OF artistic taste in this country
that reaches from the isolated mountain
hut to the wealthiest homes in the
land >" Something is taking place;
1t may eventually even take the direc-
ton of art, but it is not art now; rather
1t is retrogression from art, resulting
from the miasmatic food our literary
Iterants have been feeding us.

Fall Cleaning.

The nomination by the President of
jerome Frank and John w. Hanes to
NIL the vacancies on the Securities Ex-
change Commission appears likely to
bring to head the movement to effect
a reorganization of the New York Stock
Exchange. In view Of the demand by
William o. Douglas, chairman of the
s. E. c., for such reorganization, it is
significant that the selection of Mr..
Frank and Mr.. Hanes was followed
closely by an announcement that ex-
change officials had designated their own
committee to revamp its internal organ
i1ation.
1t must be obvious now to members of
the exchange that they will have to put
their own house in order or submit to
closer Federal regulation. Mr.. Hanes,
Immediately after his appointment had
been announced, said he heartily sub
scribed" to the recommendations of Mr..
Douglas. That Mr.. Hanes, long a Wall
Street man and director of some twenty
corporations, feels the exchange should
assume greater public responsibility in
solving the problem of capital markets,
ought to carry weight in financial circles.
For months he has sought to convince
his colleagues that they should work
more harmoniously with the Federal
authorities, and 1t is not likely that as
member Of the commission he will adopt
q different view.
If anything, Mr.. Frank is apt to be
even more insistent on thorough over
hauling of the financial center Re-
garded as member of the "left wing" of
the New Deal, Mr.. Franks entire public
record leads to the expectation he will
advocate drastic Federal action unless
the stock exchange members voluntarily
make the revisions deemed necessary by
the commission.
These factors may have been in the
mind OF Charles R. Gay, president of the
exchange, when he announced a COM
mittee had been appointed to consider
increasing the number of the exchanges
paid officers. Coming after a reported
breakdown in negotiations between ex-
change officials and Chairman Douglas,
the appointment Of the committee is an
encouraging sign, and, it is to be hoped,
will lead to such corrective action as
may be necessary without Federal in
tervention.
