DEBATING SCHEDULES SOMEWHAT MUDDLED Big Triangule Planned for April 20-No Other Dates Arranged The debating situation this year seems to be up in the air. Practically nothing definite as to dates of either finals or pre liminaries or schedule of de bates has been agreed upon. The only date definitely settled is that for the big triangle on April 20. The preliminaries will presumably be held about the 15th. . The query for this debate is, "Resolved, That the several States should establish wage boards with power to es tablish schedules of minimum wages in workshops, depart ment stores and factories." (Constitutionality w a i v ed). The schedule of last year will most probably hold over, i. e., our affirmative will debate Tennesee's negative in Florida, and our negative will debate Florida's affirmative in Knox ville. The only doubt about the schedule was occasioned by Florida's changing her vote. Florida at first voted to keep the old schedule. She next re considered and voted to change.. A few days ago a telegram was received saying she voted for the old schedule. If no further notice is given the old schedule will be used Some of the men expressing their intention of entering the preliminaries are Wright, Shealy, Van Meter, Martin, Trotter, Bowen, W. E., Hodges, E. P. The tentative date for the Little Triangle is May 4. How ever, it has not been definitely agreed upon. The prelimi naries will be held about a week earlier, tho again no definite information is at hand. The query is, "Resolved, That the Federal Government should own and operate all railway lines." Some of the men who have signified their purpose to enter this debate are Smith, E. B., Shand, Thompson, Buchanan, Martin, Trotter, Evans, Lind say, Simkins. Nothing definite is known as yet about the Georgetown de bate. The last three letters from our debating council have not been answered. The de bate, if arranged, will be held i Columbia on the question:, "Resolved, That Immigration to the United States should be restricted by a literacy test." So far as The Gamecock was able to learn the date that suits our debating council best is the middle of April or about June 1. MOOT COURT HOLDS INTERESTING SESSION Three Cases on Docket-Young Lawyers Show Great Skill. The Law Association met last Thursday night and after a short business session resolved itself into a moot court. There were several cases on docket. Prof. J. P. Thomas, Jr., acted as judge. The first case was the case of the State vs. Will Scott. Solici tor Smith moved for a nol pros in the case, but on the defend ant's part it was insisted that the trial should proceed, that he might vindicate his inno cence. On these grounds the judge allowed the trial to pro ceed, and after all evidence was introduced ordered a ver dict of not guilty. Solicitors Smith and Wells conducted the case for the State, while Rice and Major ap peared in behalf of the defend ant. The next case was a case of Dr. Burns vs. Johnson, Admin istrator. This was an action for breach of contract, the defend ant pleaded the statute of frauds as a defense. Opinion of the court was reserved. The plaintiff w'as represent ed by Smith and Wells, with Rice and Major representing the defendant. The case of A. vs. B. was the next case before the court, the plaintiff was represented by Becton with Barr as his oppon ent. Opinion was reserved. PERSONALS. C. B.
