TO DIVIDE SUPREME COURT Omaha Bar Association to Discuss Question Saturday Night OTHER QUESTIONS CONSIDERED LntTyrra Itnpr to Orrrtnlllnn Their Itecommrndatlnn Before the Slnte LrRlalntari Sleets This Winter. The proposition for legislation provid ing for the division of the supreme court of the state Into two parts to facilitate the handling of the many cases ahead of the court and thus relieve the congested condition there Is one of the main isues that Is to come up nt the meeting of the Omaha Bar association at the special meeting to be held In the county court room Saturday night. The relief of tho supremo court Is one of tho principal matters the association has scheduled for Its discussion at that time. It Is held by some members of the'bar here that the best way to afford relief would be to divide the cotlrt into two sections of three and four Judges, re spectively, so that the two sections could work on separate and distinct cases at the same time. Those who advocate tttls method of relief would provide that three Judges could make a decision. In the case of the section of the court with four Judges this would mean the. votes of alt but one for a decision. Another matter on which some of tho attorneys are priming themselves is whether or not a constitutional conven tion should be called In the state to revise the state consltutlon. It Is held by some that our state constitution Is obsolete; that It was mil do when the In dustries of the state were ns yet unde veloped and consequently Is Inadequate to fit the present conditions of the great commonwealth of Nebraska. "FoFr example," C. J. Smyth has pointed out, "under tho present consti tution the attorney general Is not al lowed a clerk. It Is ridiculous. The only way the supreme court has got around that Is It has hold that a stenographer was not a clerk and consequently the attorney general hires stenographers to do tho large amount of work In tho offloe, which It Is ridiculously out of the question to expect the attorney gen eral to do alone." The Omaha Bar association has called the special meeting for Saturday night that the Important questions It Is con sidering might be threshed out before the legislature convenes, so that Its recom mendations might be ready to bo pre sented to that body. A card, being mailed to tho members of the bar in Omaha announcing the meeting, sets forth the following points to be discussed nt that time: ' L How can the supreme court conges tion be relieved? 2. Should loss than twelve Jurors render a verdict in civil cases? 3. Should a constitutional convention be called? 4. Should the law with respect to chal lenges of Jurors In criminal cases be changed? 6. Should the state be permitted to call the defendant as a witness In a criminal case? G. Other proposed changes by members. It Is held by many members of the bar that It would be useless to discuss the matter of giving the state the right to call a defendant as a witness In a criminal case, as the federal constitution provides that a defendant la such a case shall not be compelled tfltestlfy against himself.

A Dying Race Someone said the only good Indian is n dend ono We do not subscribe to Hint statement for we believe that there are many noble lied men and there would be more if they had been saved from coming in contact with the worst of the White men. Before the onward march of civilization, however, they seem doomed to go, as assimilation seems scarcely possible. The Navajos, belonging to tho Athabascan family, first became known to tho Spaniards in 1630 an effort to reduce them failed until they ran up against Colonel Car son 8ometliing like 20,000 remain scattered over Arizonn, Colorado, Now Mexico and Utah. Many hnve shown muoh aptitude in taking up the arts of civilization. They carry on farming and stock raising. They have boon famous for centuries in the manufacture of Navajo Rugs, Blankets, etc. Soon, like the race that too will die, the art will be a lost one. Indeed, even now it is difficult to get choice pieces for those of the present gen eration do not possess the patience of their ancestors. AVe have on display on our third floor some choice specimons, all selected personally by Mr. Chapman, on tho reservation guaranteed by us. to be genuine hand woven in the HoganB or Tepees of the Navajos. One es pecially fine piece was admired by Colonel Roosevelt when he toured that country several years ago. It was then in the possession of a judge, who was prominent in the fight for statehood made by New Mexico. An effort was made, it is said, to copy it, but it failed utterly the right hand seemed to have forgot its cunning. There are also some fine old Vegetable dye blankets and they too, will soon be a thing of the past. The prices will be found reasonable, ranging from $1 for small pieces, up to $200 Here Are a Few Other Specials for Friday At the Silk counter: 23-inch Messalines. .59c Atthe Dross counter: Imported Challys 89c At tho Glove counter: Real Kid gloves 98c At the Book section: A table, worth upto $2, each. .50c Fur Scarfs and Muffs onsale second floor.
