WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Hoar to-day
introduced q bill for tho appointment Of an adj
ditional Judge for the Third judicial Circuit.
Accompanying tho bill is a petition signed by
Attorney-General Grey of New Jersey and many
members of the bar of that State. The two
Judges now on the circuit, the petitioners aver,
are greatly occupied at Pittsburg and Philadel-
phia,w with the result that the dockets in the Now
Jersey district are greatly overcrowded. the
work being greater than one man can bear. The
death recently of Judge Greon of the New Jer-
sey district. they say, was due to overwork.
Senator Cullom introduced a bill providing
for an additional Judge for the Sixth, seventh.
and Eighth Judicial districts, respectively.
Senator Spooner introduced n bill for the es-
tablishment of a Department of Public Health.
