COURT SWAYED BY LUCK, NOT FACTS Washington Supreme Bench Too Busy Properly to Sift Evidence Offered. REALLY "ONE MAN" COURT Members Hear Arguments, Read Brief, Ei press Tentative Opinion, Then Assign One Judge to Make Vp Conclusion. BY J. H. BROWN. OLTMPIA, Wash.. July 9. (Special.) Proof has been, brought before the L"Kislative committee, which Is In vestigating: the Washington State Su preme Court, that In a number of cases the court has In its decisions seriously misstated facts. That the court has made similar errors in many cases is generally known to members of the bar, and that more similar errors are not made is a constant surprise. To an extent, at least, it must bo ad mitted luck and neither the law nor the facts determine the decisions of the highest court of the state. Where er rors are made In assembling the facts it is natural the conclusions of law drawn therefrom are apt to be er roneous. That these errors are made wilfully or deliberately, no lawyer of promi nence at the bar will assert. But that they do occur admittedly shows that something is radically wrong with court procedure. And there has been something radi cally wrong for a good many years. Kvery session of the Legislature these conditions are discussed at meetings of the Judiciary committees, committees usually composed of attorneys who .know conditions and who to some ex tent would like to remedy them. One Judge Works for Seven. Until a few months ago, although the State Supreme Court actually had seven members. It was actually and practically a "one man" court. That is to say, in the majority of cases disposed of but one Justice read all of the evidence and the record, although a majority of all of the court mad it a rule to read the briefs and hear and discuss the oral arguments, but brief arguments of counsel. In three years the court has been In creased from tlve to nine members and yet its efficiency has by no means been Increased in proportion to the in crease in membership. Lawyers who know the situation thoroughly admit that there Is one easy and simple way to cure the de fects of the present system, to elimi nate absolutely the element of chance, and to do Justice both to the members of the court and to the litigants. Lawyers Don't Want Change. But this plan has been defeated at every legislative session at which it has been advanced because the plan means addi tional work for the Individual lawyers. The attorneys would rather take the chance that the court would hit upon the correct facts in the case, than to assume the additional burden a change in the law would place upon the bar. To ex plain: Last year there were 600 cases filed in the Supreme Court. With each case came all the pleadings, a transcript of the evidence, briefs of both sides and in addition the attorneys usually made an oral argument to the court. In one case alone the evidence was of uch volume that one Judge spent 14 days rtnd nights reading it, putting in an aver age of 16 hours a day. Personally to have looked up the citations and examined them exhaustively would have taken nearly as long again. Consider this mass of material to be read and it is easy to see error might be made when this Judge alts down to .dictate the opinion; he wouia be apt to forget some things and that he would make some misstatements. If each one of the nine Judges had been forced to read this case in full where would the court have got in disposing of the 500 cases before It. It would be a physical Impossibility for any Judge, working every day in the year, to read one-third of the annual records and files and briefs received by the court, yet each decision Is presumed to be based upon a thorough knowledge of what all these contain. Decide Case Then Cite Facts. Therefore, to accomplish anything it has been the custom for the members of the court to all . read only the briefs and listen to the argument. Then, after private consultation, in which the Jus tices express a tentative decision, one of the Judges Is assigned to write the opinion. He takes the tiles and wades through the evidence and makes up his conclusions. Sometimes, frequently, in fact, he discovers something in the evi dence vital to the case that has not been raised by the briefs nor In the argu ment and which might suggest a com plete change from the original tentative decision. Then there is another consulta tion, or sometimes several of them. After the opinion is written it is handed from Judge to Judge. Each reads the opinion and if it coincides with his ideas of the facts and law he signs as con curring. Otherwise, he draws up a dis senting opinion. So from Judge to Judge the opinion travels until all have signed 'ho wish to, and then the decision is filed and becomes public. With this system it is readily to be seen the whole court's decision depends upon the accuracy of one member In his reading of the pleadings and of the facts. "When the evidence tills page after page error Is easy, especially If the evidence Is at all contradictory. The whole system could be readily cuangea n me legislature would adopt a plan suggested years ago by attornevs. That is that the only papers to come be fore the Supreme Court on appeal should be a brief condensation of the pleadings, a brief resume of the testimony covering the vital facts relied upon by the appeal and in opposition thereto, and the usual briefs and citations or authorities. In Head of having to wade through hun- Oreds or pages of testimony to find a few words that had bearing upon the case, records would be so simplified every member of the court would have op portunity to read, know and consider all of the essential facts and all of the law points. Possibly the Legislature when It meets again next month may pass such a law as suggested. Something should certain ly have to be done to maintain a proper mgn standard for the chief court of the state. But will it? CHORUS GIVEN OVATION (Continued From First Page.) Friday were crowded with Beaver State people, the hotels fairly bulged with them and familiar faces were everywhere. It was about 11:30 when the official band opened the official observance of Oregon's gala day. Im mediately afterward President J. E., Chilberg, of the exposition, delivered a onei aaaress of welcome, to which Governor Frank W. Benson responded. The Governor was most happy In his speech and received many subsequent congratulations. In part he said: Governor Benson Speaks. "I have listened with Interest to the kind and sincere remarks of the presi dent of this great exposition, and, speaking for the people of the magnifi cent State of Oregon. I assure you that his words find a resting place in our hearts, and that we appreciate this cor dial welcome that has been extended. The State of Oregon was one of the first to assure the people of Washing ton of the hearty spirit of co-operation that has made this exposition National in its character. Our people, realizing the splendid results of the Lewis and CJark Exposition, and desiring to re tarn, in some slight degree, the-cooperation manifested by the State of Washington on that occasion, decided to erect a building upon these grounds and make a proper display of the vari ous products of our state. "The building is one of the most cred itable state buildings on the grounds, and the Oregon exhibit speaks for itself. Our most able Commission, with painstaking care. has collected specimens of the products of our forests, fields, streams and factories, as well as an educational exhibit that compares favorably with anything of the kind within these gates. No Oregonian need feel ashamed ef the Oregon building and Its contents, but on the other hand should feel a pride and satisfaction worthy of. the dignity of our great commonwealth. "With a due regard for all portions of our common country, we take a pardon able pride in tne Pacific Northwest the land of splendid opportunity.

W. J. Townley, to succeed Mayor Law, and M. S. Levy, L. A. "Wright and A. J. Goodbroad, Council men, to succeed Councilmen Hutchen son, Dalton and Schoonover. Much dissatisfaction has existed among the citizens of Union for several months over what has been considered to be the drastic legislation of the re cently elected city officials in the mat ter of reform legislation. A petition was presented to Mayor Law, and some of the Councilmen asking them to re sign, but this request was not acceded to. The recall could not be invoked until the officials had held office for a period of six months, and this limitation ex pired tonight.

He gave an insight into Ibsen's life and methods and described his method of writing a play with dolls set up on his study table with mimic furniture, thus having the actual scene staged on the table before him. Dr. Chapman compared the relig ious views of Ibsen with Shakespeare. There is no trace of the Bible in Ibsen, while Shakespeare Is full of it. The speaker paid a high tribute to woman as creators of law and order In the home, and he believes women would bring better order into 'politics. The Ibsen lectures will be finished on Monday, as Dr. Chap man does not appear tomorrow. The Sunday school work of Rev. C. A. Phipps is is an attractive feature of the morning hours.
