MORE CHANGESJN THE CODE
Special Sessions of Court May Be
Called "at Any Time.
AMOUNT INVOLVED IS RAISED
Hereafter Oaly Sella for Three Thoa
saad Dotlara or Mere May Be
Traaaferred from the State
to Federal Coarte.
Since federal officials of Nebraska have
had time to study the new civil code, which
was enacted at the closing hours of con
gress on March 4, they have found sev
eral changes which affect the workings of
their office. The most Interesting section
of the bill, of course, was the abolition of
the United States Clicutt court clerks'
offices. ,
United States Attorney F. G. Howell has
learned that the bill also simplifies the
system of holding court In the eight dis
tricts of the state. Heretofore In some
district court has not been held oftener
than once a year. Thla made It possible
for lawyera to cause long delays by hav
ing cases transferred from one district
to another where court was not beld so
often.
"When the new civil cod becomes ef
fective next January It will not be possible
to engineer long delays," says Attorney
Howell, "because It haa been so arranged
that Judges may hold special sessions in
any district whenever they see fit. Under
the old law Judges had to pay their own
expenses at special sessions, but under the
revised code their expenses will be borne
by the government. Under this arrange
ment there will be no excuse for dilly
dallying, and the dockets can be kept rea
sonably free from old easea."
The new code also provides that Juris
dictional amounts Involved In cases to
be transferred from state to federal
courts shall be 13,000, Inatead of 12,000 aa
under the old law.
The provisions of the act will not be
effective until January 1, mi.

the Eighth.
Burmester preceded Brucker,-- Burmea-
ter's selection aa a possible president of
