( (National N!w Annotation) WASHINGTON. Jan. 2 Uncle Sam bat banded a number of his employes a New Year's present that will live long in their memory. With one fell swoop he has deprived those men of sinecures they have been enjoying for years.

It comes about through the consoli

dation of all the district and circuit courts In. the United States and fol

lows the recent recommendations of

Secretary Meyer of the Navy and chief of staff Leonard Wood of the

Army and there is strength In con so I

Idatlons and combinations, if not great

economy.

Today all circuit courts of the United States will cease to exist, likewise

the salaries of all the clerks and employes attached to them will cease. On the tame date, the various district courts in the country will have conferred upon them by the United States Congress additional power and influence. Caused Warm Debates.

This aew order or things springs out ot the recent action of the United

States Congiess In perfecting the new Judicial code, that caused so much -debate and divided both houses of Congress Into hostile umpi of acrimonious statesmen. On ibis date twenty-

seven United States circuit courts will

Gradually the trend of governmental affairs has followed closely the pro

gress of the Industrial world. The his

torjr of large industries has been made

up largely by the gigantic trusts that

have been formed in this country

Springfield from small enterprises,

many Industries have developed into combinations, consolidations or mono

polies, until recently the Unfted States has let its affairs travel in primitive ways. Departments have beengcreated by the government to conduct its business until the whole machinery of the government has

been bullded into a colossal enterprise,

Some departments overlap others, some have very little work to do, while still others have practically all the

work to perform. Army and the Navy.

4 In the Army and the Navy, there

have recently been installed modern

business methods including in their

scope the consolidation of various of

fices and bureaus. This has resulted in placing these , organizations on a better and more prepared foundation

administratively and economically,

-Other departments followed suit. The Treasury department practically has eliminated its secret service bureau,' it having been consolidated with the life saving, labor, corporation and oth

er bureaus under one department,

which has made great strides in economical administration. In every way the government execlutive departments have discovered that in combining their departments, issues and bus

iness, better results can be obtained,

carrying out the trust idea that combi

nations, consolidation and monopolies

are conducive to the lowering of ex penses. ,

,' Now, however, the government dis

continues the circuit courts, institutions as old as the government itself,

The Congress ot the United States finds that the maintenance of . these Courts requires a considerable part ot the appropriations for the upkeep

of the Judiciary, and that the work

performed by the circuit court judges

can well be done by the district court Judges. Furthermore It has developed that In many cases the work of the district courts overlapped that of the

circuit courts and that the dual ar

rangement tended to the lowering of

the efficiency of both courts. Caused Opposition.

Therefore, during the last regular session of the United States Congress

an effort was made to abolish the cir

i cult courts. Much opposition was en

! countered, especially among members i ot the house of representatives. Politl-

1 cal fences needed repair and congress

menln favor of the idea saw defeat at the polls staring them in the face

should they agree to such a proposi

tion. The matter was passed to the Judiciary committee of the house in

an effort to have the resolution ta

bled and burled under other and more

pressing business.

. Quite the contrary happened, how

ever. The committee reported an en

tirely new Judicial code, which provided among other things for the abolition of the circuit courts. The measure passed both houses on March 81 and will become effective on Monday. A A large sited howl was heard in every direction from the clerks and employes of the various circuit courts. Politicians were buttonholed and held - up in ah effort to locate "other Jobs' for these "lame ducks." but there was absolutely nothing doing for a great many. Care baa been taken of some of them. Nearly all of the old employes will be retained for a while until the new manner ot things becomes established and until the working arrangement becomes effective. What The Effects Are. The real effects of the action of : congress is many-fold. The circuit

court Justices will form a court of appeals, dealing with- cases on appeal ifrom the district court. The district

court will be the court of first In-

mce; appeal will be taken to the

court of appeals and from this

direct to the Supreme Court of

I Are Folice Reported in Sev

Patrolmen Vogelsong and Lawler and Partrol Driver Wenger spent considerable time this afternoon in search of a bull dog which was reported to

the police as being rabid and running at large on the principal streets.

Numerous reports were received from Kairview that a white bull dog was rabid and was running at large in that section of the city. Supt. Gormon sent a patrolman to Laurel street where the dog was reported to be, but it was not located. Several women telephoned to Supt. Gormon saying that they were not likely to send their children to school, fearing they would be bitten by dogs. Mr. Gormon assured them that the police were doing all in their power to kill dogs which were not muzzled or quarantined. It Is said that the dog which Patrolman Vogelsong killed yesterday after a hard chase, and which belonged to John Murphy, 505 North I) street, had bitten at least two other dogs.

WATER WORKS ECHO WAS HEARD TODAY

At the meeting of the board of works this morning Mayor Zimmerman declared that one of the most important issues which the city will handle this year is the water works question. He says that, although it is a serious problem, it will be settled to the satisfaction of the citizens. "One thingls sure," the mayor said, "We have always had enough water to handle a fire. Probably the worst fire was at the Colonial buiulding, and the only thing we needed then was more men, because our firemen were completely exhausted, that being the reason that I asked for help from the Dayton department."

Sensational but revolting charges are anticipated in the trial ofthe divorce suit of Kd Hilling against his wife, Cora, which was to have been tried in the circuit court Tuesday, but postponed because of the absence of Mrs. Hilling's attorney. The city and county authorities, and it is said, before the grand jury, Mrs. Hilling charged her husband with having had unproper relations with their daughter, Mrs. Ethel Simons, and according to oi'l'ocialdoin this alleged charge will he the defense of .Mrs. Hilling when the divorce suit is ultimately called for trial. Hilling is an employe of the Wayne Works and is we'd known in Riverdale. Since their martial trouble Mrs. Hilling has taken up her residence on Second street, according to the authorities. One of the daughters is living with .the mother while the other children including Mrs. Simons, are with their father. Some months ago the Hilling girl was married to Carl Simons after proceedings in the squire's court. The husband and wife, with some of their children were in the circuit court Tuesday but left after the decision to postpone the trial until some later date during the January term.

Six business men representing the Kokomo Y. M. C. A. defeated the Richmond volley ball team by the score of 36 to 26 as the climax to an open house entertainment at the local Y. M. C. A. yesterday. The victorious visitors played a s-uady. accurate feame, featured by well developed team work. The losers piayed a more spectacular rnrr, bin manv of their shots went amiss. Cutter did the most effective playing for Richmond, as he repeatedly dropped shots in corners where the visitors could not reach them. The lineup was: (Kokomo) Schiller, Barnes, Blacklidge, H. Davis, George Davis, Rudell; (Richmond Compton. Crawford, Tubesing, Morrow, Cutter, Freeman. The open house entertainment yesterday was one of the most successful events in the history of the local association, several hundred people being on hand to join in the festivities. Light refreshments were terved by the Woman's auxiliary during the afternoon. The guests during both afternoon and evening wore shown over the building or invited to watch the athletic carnival, which formed a continuous program in the gmynasium. Music by E. B. Knollenberg's amateur orchestra was a feature of the afternoon. While the adult guests were being entertained in the lobby,, youthful members of the association competed in a Bible class track and field meet. John Van Horn won the boys' croquet tournament. Director H. A. Pettijohn, aided by a band of young admirers, secured several dollars for the fund to equip a boys' library, through conduct- ! ing- an auction sale of 1912 calendars.

The new year was happily ushered into the schools of Richmond this morning when thirty-four hundred small boys and girls resumed their studies after the Christmas holidays. The most noticeable feature' of the re-opening of the schools is the large list of absentees. Many pupils were kept from school today by bronchial trouble, in some cases as a consequence of too much celebration during the vacation. Although there is practically no contagion In the city, it is thought the number of absences from minor ills is remarkably great at present.
