THIRD JUDGE NEEDED
Some Telling Figures by Represen-
tative Rider for a Seventh
District Bill.
The Two Judges There Are Over
loaded-An Extra Nineteenth
~ District Needless.

representative II. a. Rider of Little
Falls, who succeeded in having the bill
for Il third judge in the seventh judicia
district passed thru the house, has an
effective argument for his bill, which is
now on the rocks in the senate. Mr.. Rider
has secured figures from every county OF
the state, showing it's voting population
the number of civil cases on the calendar
In 1907. and the number Of indictments re-
turned during the year. These give fail
idea OF the work that is required of the
different judges of the state.
Since the bills passed giving additiona
Judges in the fourteenth and fifteenth dis
tricts there are now thirty-five district
judges in the state. The table here given
Is compiled from Mr.. Riders figures, and
it shows the number of judges in each
district, the total voting population, the
number Of civil cases and the number OF
Indictments.
The Minneapolis journal., 1903-04-15
AS Applied to the Seventh.

1hes average voting population in the
are Of each judge is 1862. The average
lumber Of civil cases for ca CHI one is 247
md the average number Of indictments to
nandle is thirty-four. On this basis the
+ seventh district is entitled to another
Judge, for it now has 5000 voters for ca ch
ef its two judges. 1856 civil cases and 40
Indictments. With a third judge there
WqlId still be lO.6?O voters. 237 civil cases
arN 33 indictments, population over the
afrage, and work just a little under it.
Fhe fourteenth district with it's two
itiges now has S.165 voters for each one,
1p civil cases and 81 indictments, con-
sderably less than the seventh. The ff-
tenth has a smaller population but more
FigatioE, giving each Of it's two judges
f210 voters, rs civil cases, and 81 in
Iictments.
I The figures show clearly how needless
IS the extra nineteenth district. a bill for
which is about to pass the senate. The
bill proposes to cut off from the first dis
}tr1ct the counties of Chisago. Pine and
kanabec. There are two judges now in
the first district and they have each a
voting popuatio of S.745. with $50 civil
cases and "A indictments. This means that
each judge has less than the averag
amount of litigation. The bill proposes to
create district by itself of three coun-
ties with voting population of 5,.166,
liz civil cases on the calendar last year,
and indictments. This judge would
have considerably less than half the av-
erage work of a district judge, but the
state would pay $500 for his services and
pay court stenographer besides. The
first district would be left with a voting
populat tion Of 6,16l for each judge. 81 civil
cases and 20 indictments, not enough work
to keep them busy six months in the
year.
Facts Against Nineteenth.
The facts are all against the nineteenth
district scheme, and in favor of the sew
enth district but the first is going to sue.
ceed and the second to fail, if indications
are correct.
Senator Schutzs bill to detach Lincoln
county from the ninth district and give it
to the twelfth will equalize things in thai
selection of the state In a sensible way. 1t
will leave Judge Webber voting popula
tion of 9,776, and give Judges Powers and
Qvale 20431, or 1925 each. The reduced
ninth district had 23O civil cases and q
Indictments last year, and the augu-
mcnted twelfth had 542 cases and 81 in
dictments.
Figures for Hennepin.
Henepin county's average for each
Judge is a voting population of $3.50. Isl
civil cases and 81 indictments in each
year. This is a small population but a
high average Of work for the judges.

RESTRICTED. TAX AMENDMENTS
An Extremely Cautious Plan Adopted b,

Only one vote was recorded in the SEN
ate yesterday against the tax amendments
proposed by the senate judiciary commit
tee. The bill is wholly unsatisfactory to
large number of the strongest men in
the senate, because it hedges the subject
of taxation with so many restrictions that
the hands of the legislature will be effect

Samuel Lord and F. II. Peterson spoke in
| favor of removing some of the restrictions
but made no headway, and the bill was

one belonging to Sena tor Dale

STORY DENIED.

Bristol, Dec. 15.--A story was cifcula- ted to-day to the effect that John l. Goodrich, who was formerly a stock broker in New London, was arrested here last night for misappropriating three hundred dollars, and was later al- lowed to go. The facts are as follows:
 MT. Goodrich went to New London from Plainyllle about two years ago and opened a brokerage office and for the last seven months had been a cor respondent of E. W. Bucklin & Co, of Boston, the concern that failed on De- cember 3. Mir. Goodrich closed his of fee in New London and went to Boston Saturday and conferred with his prin- cipals and then came to Bristol that night and remained over Sunday with his cousin, Noble F. Pierce, Monday he went to New London and remained there until Thursday, preparing sched- ules which were forwarded to the trus- tee Il, bankruptcy in Boston. Thursday night he came to Bristol and has been here at the home of Mr. Pierce since, Early in the fall Dr. F. w. Hewes, of Groton, came into the New London off, flee and directed that ten shares of stock be bought for him and put up a margin of thirty dollars. Later when he was going away on hunting trip he deposited one hundred and fifty dollars with MT. Goodrich which was to be used to protect the stock if necessary The stock was not called and the one hundred and fifty dollars never went ] into the account of Bucklin & Co.,, and 1t was lucky for Dr. Hewes that it did 1 not, and it was the only deal of its kind ] in the office. When Mir. Goodwin was : In New London last week, he told his counsel, John c. Geary, about the Dr Hewes matter and instructed him tc 1 look after it. He also told Mr. Pierce about it and there was never any at. tempt to evade the claim in any way The man who came from New London Saturday night got the money, whiet he could have done any time during tht last week without coming to Bristol, by speaking to MT. Geary or to MT. Good rich. That there was no criminal pros
 ecution is evident, as had there beer one no officer would have dared settle the matted i'll Bristol as was done Sat, urday night.

HAD A MARROW ESCAPE.

Two Women Were Pulled Off the Track
 by the Station Agent.
 Two women were saved from horri- ble accident at the railroad station Sat- urday noon by Station Agent Hunt, who managed to pull them out of dan- ger just in time.
 It was just at noon and the two wo- men were waiting to take a west bound train. They were walking up from the tracks on the east side of the station following along side the tracks and were so engaged in talking with each other that they did not hear the noise of the approaching train, which was coming upon them from behind or the cries of people who were shouting to them to warn them of their danger.
 The train bearing down upon them was the one on the Naugatuck divisien due here at 12:04, which shot around the curve from the bridge and was so close on to the women that Station Agent Hunt had only just time to grab them and hurl them to one side before 1t was upon them. In another moment he would have been too late.
 Speaking upon this matter this morn- ing Mr. Hunt said:
 They now tell us that we shall be running overhead by January 3, and l for one shall be thankful, as it will keep people from walking on the tracks where there is danger. Those women Saturday would have been all right if they had kept a little further away from the tracks, but as it was they were just near enough to have been struck by the train. ."-Bridgeport Post.

A book ostensibly for girls, but which every well regulated boy will read with unfagging zeal and interest is 'The Little Lady of the Fort" by Annie M. Barnes, author of 'The Ferry Maid" etc, for although the chief character is the young heroine Louise, there is ad- venture after adventure recorded, each of sufficiently thrilling nature to stir the youthful blood. The story deals with those exciting early struggles be- tween the French and Spanish settlers for the supremacy in the Caroiinas, and Louise is the daughter of the comman- dant of Fort Richard. There is secret tunnel leading from the fort devised to afford the garrison means of escape in a dire emergency. Louise does a kindness for a wounded Spaniard, and all sorts of trouble arise owing to this well intended act. How it all turns out is for the young reader to discover. There are various illustrations by He len Wood. Price 90 cents; for sale at Judas. Published by the Penn com pany, Philadelphia.

The steady popularity of detective fic- ton is Illustrated by the fact that Hen " Holt and Company report that the advance sale of "The Holladay Case" has been the largest they have had of any book for over year. Though they printed a first edition half as large again as that of any novel they had is- sued within that time, they were obliged on the day of issue to send this tale of a modern mystery to press for the second time. That very popular TO- nance of automobiling in France, ''The Lightning Conductor" is still in great demand, and has gone into fourteenth edition.

Horatio Alger, Jr., invariably suc- ceeds in, writing hooks that captivate young readers and older ones, too, and in his Forging Ahead" there is ample evidence of his skill with the pen. His books, '"The Odds Against Him." Making His Mark" etc., have been read by a host of young people with satisfaction. In Forging Ahead we have the story of an earnest, ener- getic. ambitious boy, who supports his widowed mother and bravely evercom- ing great obstacles, succeeds in rising in the world. Andy, like many students at Yale and other colleges in these days, managed to be self-supporting by hon. est toll while securing his education.

William J. Long, the author of School of the Woods" Following the Deer and other animal stories, has lately returned from a summer spent in the northern wilderness of Newfound- land. His purpose in visiting this re- zion was to make a study of some huge gray wolves, about whose habits almost nothing is known. Indeed, it was only through the strange tales of an Indian guide that MT. Long himself learned about them.. Occasionally during the winter these wolves visit the coast, but during the summer they disappear into the bogs and forests of the unknown in- terior. MT. Longs experience with the birds and animals of this hitherto unex- plored district, with 8 particular atten- tion to these huge gray wolves, will form the contents of another volume of his nature and animal studies.

The Burr Macintosh monthly for De- cember is out in all the glory of litho- graphed cover and elegant photogra- phy. MT. Macintosh says: Tn offer ing "Our Reproductions" I hope I may be pardoned for the personal pride which I feel in what comes under this heading. Primarily although it is not the custom in publishing circles to an- nounce the work of members of the staff, I wish to voice the sentiments which know will be echoed by our pa- irons, that we are all deeply grateful to the head of our art department, Clark Hobart, for his handiwork, which has extended from the cover, which tells it's own story on through the presentations of the portraits of Max inc Elliott, Ethel Barrymore and oth- CTS, and the artistic arrangement of advertisements.
