ADVOCATES CHANGE IN HIGH COURT’S RULES Modification of System on Supreme Bench Urged by Roll. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., July 7. Modification of rules governing work of the state supreme court to facilitate movement of cases on the docket was recommended by Chief Justice Curtis W. Roll in an address here today before the Indiana State Bar Association. Roll pointed out that more than one-third of the time of the court is devoted to consideration of petitions to transfer cases from the appellate court, and urged that methods be found to make opinions of the latter court final in certain cases. “We have, on several occasions, been criticised for not deciding some particular case or cases which are of public interest,” he said. “We can not decide all the cases on our docket at once, or even all of those that involve public interest. So the only thing for us to do is to take up those that seem to be most pressing.”

eral court of the western district of Virginia to dismiss the Appalachian Electric Power Company’s New river case, declaring that New river is a navigable stream, clearly within the regulatory jurisdiction of the federal power commission, and that the federal water power act is constitutional. If this contention should be up-

held by the court, there is little doubt that the power commission’s right to enforce regulatory provisions of the power act would be sustained. The utility company has been trying to secure permission to build an 80,000-horse power prpject without being subject to

the recapture provision of the power act or to examination of its accounts. If the company should be upheld in this claim, the power commission would lose jurisdiction over a considerable part of the undeveloped water power in eastern United States.
