PASS 'ON IOWA SAFETY COUPLER LAW Yoaasr Htraii la Bratally Beatea aad Robbed oa Ike streets of tfes Molars Aceeat Vw Ralldlag. I From a Staff Correspondent ) DES MOINES. Jan. 29. (Special.) Some time ago the students In the law depart ment at the State university made the dis covery that some of them would have to submit to examinations 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 Iowa City complained of this as a hard ship and said they should not be under the necessity of making a ahow of general education. Today the Iowa supreme court, yielding to the pressure from the students ot the Stste university, added among the exceptions, which Include possession of a high school certificate or college diploma, that applicants may be excused from this examination where t&ey hold a certificate from the president of the State university that th?y have previrisly 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 ot the necessity of passing the preliminary examination. The require ments have been steadily pushed up until now it Is very difficult to secure admission to the bar in Iowa. The court also fixed dates for the exsmlnatioos. Two will be held in tbe state capltol every year.tone on tbe first Tuesday of October and one on thu first Tueaday before tbe first Thursday In June each ear; also one at Iowa City at commencement time for the university. Iowa's Safety Coapler Law, The supreme court of Iowa today for the first time decided tbat tbe laws relat ing to equipping cars with safety couplera for the benefit of the employes of tbe com panies does not apply to enginea and tenders.' In Cedar Rapida an Injury oc curred to a railroad employe because of making a coupling with the engine and It was pleaded that the company was negli 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 waa not to require tbe 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 not equipped with safety couplers. The case was aent back for a new trial on this ground. Coart'a Decisions.
