THE SUPREME COURT.
REFORM PROPOSALS DEFEATED. SETBACK TO MR. ROOSEVELT. United pro r «' WASHINGTON, July 22. President Roosevelt’s proposals for the reform of the Supreme Court were overwhelmingly defeated when the Senate, by 70 votes to 20, recommitted the hill embracing the plans lo the Judiciary Committee. The Senate instructed the committee to design a new measure for tho reform of the procedure in the Lower Court, but to eliminate the provisions for an alteration of that of the Supreme Court. The decision followed a meeting of the Judiciary Committee, at which opposition was demonstrated sufficiently strong to force the abandonment of the original measure. Congress is expected to adjourn shortly, possibly before the enactment of other important measures in Mr. Roosevelt’s programme.
