a bill should be submitted to the court for
an opinion. This would, he thinks, prevent
? referring of unimportant matter? to ?

th? L?gislature would consider the mea?-'

fashion. The Court of Appeals would :e
-xtra compensation for this work.

The law's delay Slid the ??.ngostlon ..f th?
trial calendar in th?> ?tat?, courtf were ?he
? f topics of discussion. Th-? blame was
put mostly on the system, though the mem
bera of the bar had to hear .?.?nie plain
t..lk ;i.? ??? tluir share in the delay, and the
Judges 'li'l not ?".?i"' rriticlem
Nearly flv?? hundred lawyers were priss?
ent, among them s.?m. ..f the best ..nowit
niernbors of ?he N'ew Vork bar. Alton B.
l'arker, as pr?sident of th? association,
started Ihe discussion v.y ?ailing upon
?le.irgo ftordon Battle t?. lay h fa suggestions
before th?- audience. Mr. Haiti?- said that
the fault was entirely with the system, an?!
I,?- proposed to amend the present praotire
from the point wluro it rCS?tied the rail
calendar.
The call ralendar, he" said, should he
read on Friday afternoon or Saturday
morning, and Instead of aendlng cases to
one-day ?-alendar aeparate them int.? three
part* x. that each Judg" w?hl receive a
lln Ited number <>f cases and be able to fin?i
out which rasea were reall> ready f..r trial.
John M. Levitt disagreed with Mr. Hattlo
lie -..Id that, in life opinion, 'he main cause
i,,, the ?"ongestlon of th?' calenda i vus eu?
llrcly due to the members of ?he bar. The
call 'alendar had been established to find
out whether ihe lawyers were read) or not,

pi-r?ont condition would hsve no? or come to
f ? ?? i s ?
? \\e nmt to that rail calendar to
?ready' whether we wer? 01 not, or ?ent
clerks or even offiVe h<>? ?-. until i? be?
fir-o," Mr. I.evltt said. "Another r."-?"** ,s
that m? many ?ases are passed is becaus' ?>f
engagement of counsel. Some leader eg Ihe
bar Is busy, and the ens.- has to wait for
his convenience. y0t. must adopte th?? Eng*
Ils!? rule that a ?ase must go on when i*
is ready. And there is another reason. H
is our bad faith toward th? ben? h. Th???'
In not enough esprit du corps or rcHpe?t
toward 'he bench to prevent frivolous* ?*
cus?>s by counsel In or?l?-r to obtain ad?
journment."
Justices S.ott. nay and llot.-hkiss had
been present almost from th?* beginning,
while Justice IVndleton and Surrogate
Tow !.t arrived almost at the end of ,,,e
discussion.
Justice Scott said that he deplored the
popular tendon? y to de? ry and to belittle
the Judiciary system, lie said that if the
popular faith in the Judiciary were broken
anarchy would be?ome Inevitable. This
tettdency was even worse than the demand
for the recall by which Judges would I*?'

the judiciary were horribly unpatriotic an?l

a great difference between a lawyer t*?iilri?<
a judge what th? law was and a Judge tell?
ing a lawyer what the law actually was.
The mass ?if cases on the ?alendar, lio said,
was perfectly appalling, but the reform I
must com.- from the liar and not from the(
Bench. The congestion was so great, h?
lemarked, that th- point has been almost
