The new draft srlU contain a provision for the creation Of a court of domestic relations in an counties which have a population of J 00,000 or over, or which shall attain hat population. The present act has been attacked on the ground that it - makes provision for courts to be estab lished In only those counties which had a population of 209.000 at the last fed eral census previous to the passing- of he bill. Under that regulation, Mult bomah county was the only countj -which could ever hope to have a court i fcf domestic relations. frO COTE ALL PBOTI8IOX8 The new draft will also be framed so that the title will cover all ' provisions pf the act.

Later Mrs. Baker remarried, and sought to regain '. possession 'of her daughter.- j protest was put up by Mrs. Nelson, but Judge Kansler finally awarded the child to the mother. Hume filed suit attacking the validity . of the court and ; obtained a - temporary re straining, order. . - XOTIOH IS FEJTlilXO The4 motion will come up before Jre Bldlng Judge McCourt, but it is con eidered a practical Certainty that which ever side loses will carry the fight to die supreme court. It is hoped to have the new bill passed and the new court established before the suit Is finally set tled. -, l ; ,- - " Whether or not the establishment of a new- court will create a vacancy in the office' of judge is undetermined, . "When the court was first established, last spring, the district attorney's of fice waa asked for an opinion concerning ru , validity. .
