Moser, holdover Senator from Multnomah County, whose election as President of the State Senate became certain more than a week ago, has re ceived a letter from C. L. Hawley, Sen ator from Polk and Benton counties, announcing the withdrawal of his own candidacy and congratulating Senator Moser on his victory. Senator Hawley also said he wanted to do all he could to make the session harmonious one. Senators Wood, of Washington, and plson, of Multnomah, having with drawn some time ago, B. L. Eddy. Sen ator from Douglas County, Is the only candidate opposing Senator Moser who has not withdrawn to date. Senator Moser will have virtually a unanimous vote.. SIMPLER PROCEDUREURGED Service of Summons by Attorneys llather Than by Sberiff Suggested by Loyal II. McCarthy Change in Filing Pleadings Asked. The simplification of legal procedure was discussed at a meeting of the Mult nomah Bar Association held in Judge Gantenbein's courtroom at the Court house last night. Besides legislative enactments which will rid the legal machinery of useless encumbrances, everal means were brought forward whereby greater expediency can be in troduced without other steps than agreements between members of the bar and bench. The present machinery of Justice, ac cording to Loyal H. McCarthy, who poke last night, has put the lawyer to great Inconvenience, and diminished his profits, besides withholding justice from many people who would bring cases to trial were the procedure sim pier and less expensive. The service of summons by attor neys. rather than by the Sheriff, was part of Mr. McCarthy's suggestion. Fur ther reforms that he advocated Include a change in the manner of filing plead ings, and a simpler process of 'bringing i case to trial. The existing differ ences between law and equity cases as recognized In court procedure were mentioned as the source of many reme diable difficulties. A plea for more moderate reform in procedure was sounded by A. L. Veazle, who reminded his colleagues of the ad vantage gained by certain legal for- Llities. Tne summons served by Sheriff's offices, he said, could be less easily evaded than one served in formally. Several attorneys presented plans and suggestions for simpler machinery both in criminal ana civil court prac tice which would save expense to the taxpayers, and increase the speed and efficiency of litigation, the general opinion being that many improvements could easily be made in the traditional practices of the law.

Sport Clothes Are to Be Popular Again Xext Spring and Hints cf New Styles Run Heavily to Norfolk Order. That the accepted width for the Spring skirt will be !ti yards is the opinion of local buyers and designers wno nave reviewed private displays from some of the best of New York shops. Although the skirt will not be ex tremely narrow It will have none of the flare that characterised the past sea son s styles. Hoops and wide panniers are barred from the coming modes and tne SKirt lengtns win range from six to seven inches above the floor. It is little more than possible to walk com fortably in a skirt of a two-yard ldth, so milady will have little to spare in the new two and one-half- yards model. "The effect will be straight," said buyer, "and the skirt may look nar row, but will not be too scanty. It has been my experience that women wear their clothes as long or short as they wish, even though they keep near the mode of the moment. A short, fat woman cannot wear the extremely short skirt, neither can a very tall, slender one, but there are types who can. and there are enough of them so that the style will not go out this season." Local buyers can tell now that sports clothes will be greatly in vogue with the coming season and that the early suits will be modified Norfolks. "I have never seen so many suits that are really Korfolks." said a buyer yesterday, "when you sift the thing down. There are new features, yes, new sorts of pleats and gathers, but the gen eral lines are on the Xorfolk order, The pockets are not in as great promi nence as last Spring. Among the new materials are: Kahkl kool, jerseys, Meadowbrook satin, ga bardines, trlcoltine. diagonal weave suitings, pongee and jersey silk.
