The judges-elect of the court of

fice Saturday afternoon and drew 9
for teims in accordance with the )
act creating the court. The gov
ernor wrote upon three plain white j
cards the words, “Two years," j
“Four years," “Six years.”
The three judges retired from
the room and the governor placed
the cards tace downward upon his
table. The judges came into the
room singly, and each chose a
card. Judge Powell, being the
youngest, was directed to choose
first, and he drew the four-year

them to , , , , .
Tlrit and first placed his hand upon one
of the cards and then, without rais
ing that one, changed his mind
and took up the other, thereby
drawing the two-year term. Judge
Hill then took the only remaining
card, which carried the six-year I
term.
Judge Powell, who was recently
appointed by the jndges elect of
the court of appeals as a committee
to prepare rules for the new court,
submitted his report, and the rules
which will be adopted upon the i
organization of the court on Jan.

ber of the bar can obtain a printed
copy of these rules upon applica
tion to the clerk on or after Jan. i.
The rules themselves are not
yet made public, but the statement
is authorized that there will be no
radical departure from the present
practice prevailing in the supreme
court. Indeed, the judges have
