Big Thursday' Is Ended By Judge's Sudden Edict
A: farge gumber of those in the courtroom were women. It was tm- posible' to know which of them were there as litigants or witnesses. on the business of the court, and which were merely curious onlook-
The mecific case which seemed to call forth the ruling-although the judge had repeatedly protested the noise in the courtroom before- was that of a man seeking a divorce and the custody of three small chil- Faren. . An' attorney representing the wife's father rose to ask & con- tinuation of the case until further Information could be !!! ed and the defendants represented by counsel now out of the city.
A Banke's Religion
"I can tell you all about that lady's (his wife's) father." the plaintiff interrupted. "He's worth- less. he's been married six times, and he's a preacher." After some dispute the judge finally. allenced the attorneys, and they silenced the witness.
Later, replying to his : attorney's question, the plaintiff said that his fatherinlaw "is an ordained minis- ter, all right, but he hasn't got no more religion than a rattlesnake."
In 'spite of the warnings. the crowd in the court room roared, and Judge Ochmook Interrupted the hearing to order a record of his ruling abolishnig "Big Thursday."
He then heard the rest of the case, and deferred his decision. It
will come up again on September 14. Cases Disposed Of

Following the court's adjourn- ment. Judge Schmack explained that he has been contemplating the change ever since he became Judge, and that he had intended to wait until the January term to make it, but was provoked into hastening his action by the situation in the courtroom this morning.
"A thing that surprises me is . that such a rule has been in force so long," he said. "I find it ha's been in operation for at least 30 years." A result of the grouping of divorce cases -has been, he explained that thrill-seekers, rather on "divorce days" to enjoy the proceedings, and to get amusement from them.
Boes Dignity Upset.
- "Such a thing is not conducive to the proper respect for the marriage relation," the judge said. "Many young people, some of whom are not married, and some' who are, come at. those days and destroy the dig- nity of the court by laughing at the slightest provocation."

"This morning," he continued, "I! dito rap for order several times, ided to go ahead and make
