Judge David McAdam, of the Superior
Court, has come out heartily in favor of
the suggestion made by Judge Giegerich,
of the Court of Common Pleas, that a
convention of Judges be held in this city
to devise means of preventing the frauds
against citizenship exposed by The
Evening World.'
Judge McAdam has made a great num-
Der of citizens since his elevation to the
bench, and from his practical experience
in this work should be able to make
many valuable suggestions to the con-
vention.
1t has not been definitely decided when
the call for the Convention will be is
sued, but it Is probable that n prelimina-
nv meeting will be held this afternoon
or evening in Judge Giegerich's cham
bers to arrange the details of the call.
Justice Geigerich has already plunged
into the subject and is enthusiastic for
reform. He mas prepared a number OF
\ suggestions, covering the whole natu-
