he was assigned to Capt. Sanchez

first whipping was not by any

which was inflicted last Wednes-
day week, the day previous to his

TWO SUPREME COURTS.
Suggestions from a High Source for
Another Federal Bench.

1t is now rumored that there is proposition
before the Senate committee on the Judiciary
which may result in legislation to increase the
number of justices on the bench of the United
States Supreme Court. This is a rumor that
comes around with unbroken regularity. There
Is slight probability of something being done
this session, but members of the Judiciary COM
mittee will not confess that they have, as yet,
given the matter serious consideration. What
ever increase there may be will be due to the
admission of the four new states and not be-
cause the docket of the Supreme Court is over
crowded. This great increase Of judicial terri
tory will probably make an increase in the
number of justices, but not to such an extent as
seems to be anticipated by some. 1t is well
known that the more prominent members of
the court are opposed to any additions to their
number and argue that, except as concerns the
work on circuit, twenty justices would do no
more to reduce the pressure than the present
nine. What the court does favor. though,
would be the establishment of another court
which, like itself, should be beyond appeal. but
which should have charge of certain kinds Of
cases. One of the justices thinks it would be
well to have a court in which all appeals should
be heard in which are involved amounts above
$4,000 and under S25,000. The two courts could
clear the docket speedily.
