YIELDS TO LAW STUDENTS Supreme Oourt Outs Out Common Sehosl Examinations at the University. IOWA SAFETY COUPLER LAW | PASS 'ON Yo Woman ix Brotally B ed on the Streets of Des Acecept Moines New (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Jan. 20.—(Special.)—Some time ago t students In the law depart- ment at the State university made the die- covery that some of them would have to submit 1o examinattons in high school branches of study before being allowed to take the regular law examinations. This is in accordance with a general rule of the supreme court adopted two years ago, which requires a showing in general edu- cation before even a graduate of a law school may go before the State Examining board for examination. The students at lowa City complained of this as a hard- ship and eaid they should not be under the necessity of making a show of general education. Today the lowa supreme court, vielding to the pressure from the students of the State university, added among the | exceptions, which jaclude possession of a | high school certificate or college diploma, that applicants may be excused from this examination where they hold a certificate from the president of the State university | that they Imve previcusly shown compe- | tency in these ordinary branches of learn- | ing, or a certificate from any college where a liberal arts course is taught. This will relieve all the students at the university law school of the necessity of passing the preliminary examination. The require- ments have been steadily pushed up until néw it is very difficult to. secure admisaion to the bar in lowa. The court also fixed | dates for the examinations. Two will be held in the state capitol every year,one on the first Tuesday of October and one on the frst Tuesday before the first Thursday in June each year; also ome at lowa City at commencement time for the univereity. { Towa's Safety Coupler Law. The supreme court of Iowa today for the first time decided that the laws relat- ing to equipping cars with safety couplers for the benefit of the employes of the com- | panies does not apply to engines and tenders. In Cedar Rapids an injury oc- curred to a rallroad employe because of making a coupling with the engine and it was pleaded that the company was megli- gent in failing to place a safety coupler on the engine as well as on the cars. The court construed the laws as all taken to- gether and finds that the legislative intent was Dot to require the engines to be equip- ped with the safety couplers. This being the case the injured employe assumed the risks incident to work with an engine mot equipped with safety couplers. The case was sent back for a new trial on this ground. Court's Decisions.
