Full dress? Well, rather. The tickets do not say so, but you had better not take any chances. For, in one corner of each ticket is printed the significent slogan: “All rehte reserved.” What does this mean, unless it is that the head walers reserve the right to entertain whom they please and that anybody not measuring up to the standard of requirements will be handed his hat and bidden begone. \ It Is going to be a very exclusive | affair, Not more than a thousand are! expected.

LAW'S DELAY SHOWN IN COHALAN'S COURT; ZO CASES NOW READY Fault Lay With the Lawyers in Every Instance, All Begging Postponement. A striking illustration of the law's de- lay, out of which Theodore Roosevelt Made #0 much political capital recently, @ccurred in Justice Cohalan's part of the Supreme Court to-day. Instead of ‘the courts being to blame, however, the fheldent presented an unusually strong exhibition of the lawyer's laxity, Ex- Bctly fifty lawyers, twenty-five on either side of the twenty-five cases on Sustice Cohalan's calender, begged off on the ground they were not ready. Atter Justice Cohalan had again called the calendar and @Bffered to try any adout the building and ask for a case from another part. Justice Cohalan strongly reminded the dawyers that there would be dismissals of complaints %€ further adjournments were sought. ‘He also called ajtention to the fact that a panel of fifty jurymen had left thelr homes and business to attend court, When the lawyers went away onty the Justice and the fifty jurymen ‘Were left and it wae fully half an hour before’ a Justice sent him a case to try from Part XZ. What made the delay of the lawyers ™ore reprehensible was the fact that Pustice Hotchkiss, who was recently @levated to the Appellate Nivision and who was assigne! to the part last ‘month, was absent through !Hness during most of the month. The lawyers, it was pointed out, had ail last month to pre- pare thelr cages for trial, The part Jus- tice Cohalam is sitting in is a contract part where much of the ag:tation over | the delay of the law arises because of the commercial litigation davolved, Under a recent resolution adopted by the Justices in compliance with a recom- mendation of the Bar Association, each trial Justice is allotted a calendar to be walled the first Monday of each term. ‘This arrangement was adopted to satisty the bar. In two other parts the same difficulty arose and the Justices were forced to suspend for the day because of the lack of work.
