AFFIRMED BY U. S. SUPREME
COURT
During Judge Hazen's term three of
his cases have been taken to the SUI
preme court of the United States. The
first of these was a case involving the
mortgage law of 1898. In this Judge
Hazen4 was reversed by the Kansas SUI
premea court, but awhen the case was
taken to the federal supreme court the
Kansas supreme court was reversed
and Judge Hazeh's decision approved.
The next one of his cases taken to
the federal supreme court was the case
of Mulvane VS.. Tullock, which was q
suit on a bond given in connection
with the litigation in the United States
circuit court of the old water company
The case was first tried by the circuit
court of Shawnee county, went to the
supreme court, was reversed and came
back to the district court for trial.
the Circuit court having been abolished
in the meantime. Judge Hazen follow
ed and applied the law as laid down by
the supreme court when he tried the
case and was affirmed in the Kansas
to the Washington supreme court it
was there reversed.
The other case referred to was the
recent case of Dr. Meffert of Emporia,
and in this Judge Hazen's decision was
affirmed by both the Kansas and the
federal supreme courts.
During Judge HazenS II years on the
bench he has never lost an hour on ac-
count of sickness and has taken very
little time for vacations. No man with
anything less than an iron constitution
could have done the work which he has
done during that time.
The aggregate number of cases being
fled in court at this time is much
smaller than it was ten years ago but
the amount of fight and contest in a
hundred consecutive numbers now is at
least double what it was ten years ago.
This is largely accounted for by the
fact that at that time there were
large number of mortgage foreclosure
cases in which there was very little
fight or contest, requiring but little
time of the court, but that class of
cases has now largely disappeared, but
the volume of work to be done has re-
NAMED about the same.
There are on the trial docket for the
January term, 1906 aside from city ap-
peal cases from the police court, 227
cases; AZ criminal and $50 civil.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-01-06

When these figures are compared
with those representing the same ex-
pense prior to 1895 it will be seen that
a saving Of something like $4,000 a
year to the tax payers has been accom-
plished.
Judge Hazen's record and standing
with the supreme court is well known
to the bar of the state. It is perfectly
safe to say considering the number and
Importance of the cases he has tried
that no district judge ever on the bench
in Kansas has a more enviable record
in the matter of afflrmances in the
higher courts. His decisions have been
reversed a much smaller number of
times in proportion to the number Of
cases reviewed than those OF any other
Judge in the state covering the same
length of time. That fact is one in
which he may very properly feel great
pride, for he has tried more important
cases than any other district judge in
the state and settled more questions of
law during that period than any other
district judge in the state and during
the time was constantly under a degree
of pressure which made prompt decis-
ion and immediate ruling imperative.
Because of its location at the capital
of the state practically all cases invoiv-
ing political questions have been
brought into the district court of Shaw
nee county, where service could be
more easily had upon state officers and
litigation handled more conveniently at
Topeka than in other district. A great
many cases have come into Judge Ha-
zen's court upon change of venue from
neighboring counties, because attorneys
and litigants, in such cases, in addition
to having the cases tried by a man of
Judge Hazen's ability and reputation,
could also have the conveniences of the
state law library. etc. It is a fact
which stands out in sharp contrast
with the criticism which Judge Hazen
has received from certain quarters, on
account of rulings made in liquor cases,
that he has had more reversaIs in the
supreme court in liquor cases where de-
PENDANTS were convicted before him and
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-01-06

he could do the entire court work Of
the county and the circuit court was
abolished by the legislature of 1895 and
all the business remaining undlsposeu
of in that court was transferred to the
district court being about 800 cases.
At the end of one year after that the
district court docket was again up to
date, including the disposition of the
cases transferred from the circuit court.
From that time on up to the present
Judge Hazen has kept the trial docket
I'D even with the current cases so that
a case brought during one term OF
court could be tried at the next term
after the issues were made up.
EXPENSE REDUCED ONE HALF.
The combined expenses to the county
Of the district court and the circuit
court prior to 1895 was something over
SOC. 600 per year. Since the circuit
court was abolished the cost to the
county for the administration of the
district court has been reduced to an
average annual expense between ten
and twelve thousand dollars. All this
is due to Judge Hazen's well known
habit of working early and late with
little or no vacations, and requiring
similar methods of all the other Off
GERS Of his court.
From the records in the office of the
county auditor the following statement
has been obtained of the total expense
to the tax payers of Judge Hazen's
court during the last ten years of his
tenure on the bench.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-01-06

At the opening of each term of
court Judge Hazen always made It a
practice to deliver an Opening lee
ture" to the jurors and other officers
of the court on the subject of being
prompt and always in their places at
the exact time appointed for the meet
ing of court. and before it became en-
tirely understood that promptness was
an imperative requirement he had
occasion to issue attachments for sew
eral parties and fine several others
for disobedience to the process of the
court or failure to be present at the
time ordered The stringency of this
rule on one occasion caused the judge
himself no little embarrassment For
some unaccountable reason the judge
himself was a few minutes late
to court=the only time it occur
red during the twelve years when he
had court work assigned for the ap-
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-01-06

court Judge Hazen said: It feel graft
fed on account of the fact that I was
elected through successive terms to
what is one of the most responsible
ed to do my duty and at the same time
keep the expenses down to the lowest
point possible and give parties a fair
opportunity to be heard in court.
realize that met with some criticism
from lawyers on account of not giving
longer time in the presenting of some
legal law questions, but at the same
time the question the lawyer wished
to be heard on was probably some
question which had been thoroughly
argued and authorities had been ex-
amined and my mind was made up and
it would serve no purpose to listen to
further argument.
Il am satisfied that there is more
work to do in this court than any one
man ought to do and in order to do
the work the judge is required to rule
upon great many questions that come
before him promptly and without dis
cussion. What we ought to have in
this district are two Judges to do the
work in one court. In this way the
only additional expense would be the
salary of the extra judge, but possibly
this can not be done unless the con-
stitution is amended. 1t is too expen-
Sive to the tax payers to have two
courts in this county.
81 presume we have nearly, if not
quite, as much work to do in this coun-
ty as they have in Wyandotte county,
vet they have had two courts there for
years and the salary OF each Of those
judges is $4,000 a year while the salary
of the judge of the Shawnee district
court is 81, 500.

that I have during the past twelve
years If it had not been for the faith

cases, and of this number about 1900
were tried by jury. In addition to
these cases there was q large amount
of motion docket work and miscel-
Ianeous proceedings which did not ap-
pear formerly upon the trial docket
such as motions of all kinds, demur-
rers, naturalization of aliens, conferr-
ing rights of majority, vacation pro-
ceedings. etc
Another interesting item of infor-
nation gathered from the thirty-siX
trial dockets which have come under
Judge Hazen's hand and which
are covered with his well known
pencil scrawl is found in the
following statement of the num-
Der of persons whom he has
had occasion to sentence to penal in
situations. and a record of the ag-
gregate number of years for which
they were sent:
During the twelve years there was
only one person sent by judge Hazen
to the reform school During the
same period there were sent to the re-
formdtory by Judge Hazen fifty-three
prisoners Under the law these pris-
oners were not sentenced to be confin-
ed any definite number of years. but
were to be held in the reformatory
until discharged by the authorities in
the manner prescribed by law. Dur
ing the same period Judge HaZen has
sentenced to the state penitentiary 256
prisoners, with an aggregate number
of years of imprisonment imposed of
1914 years This does not, however,
include four murder cases, viz: Nevills
Coulter, Collins and Mason, who We're
each convicted of murder and sentenc-
ed to Imprisonment for life, except
Collins who was sentenced to be hang
ed. Thirteen of the 256 persons sent
TO the penitentiary were sent under tn
recent indeterminate sentence law. and
in those cases no definite number of
years of imprisonment was imposed

by the marriage, and for the past IS
months have barely been on speaking

on the sympathies of Col. Bryan and
induced him to visit his daughter. The

criminal cases combined.
THE RUMP HOUSE CASE.
The first case of large importance
which Judge Hazen was called upon
to try was within a very few weeks
after he went on the bench in 1898.
1t was a suit brought by the state to
enjOin the state treasurer from pay
ing the per diem Of members of the
trump house" of the legislature of
1893-about the time of the Lewelling
war. As a result of his decision de-
claring that body not to be the legal
ly organized house of representatives
and enjOining the payment of their
pay, the members of the house got
together at once, organized into a le-
gal body and proceeded with the buS1-
ness of the session of the legislature
Another case of considerable inn
portance and which excited great
deal of interest throughout the state,
which Judge Hazen tried shortly
after the trump house case, was an
action brought to enioin the state
board of health from expending some
eight or ten thousand dollars of state
funds in preparing the towns and
cities of the state, in the way of inn
proved sanitary conditions, ito resist
an epidemic of Asiatic cholera" Judge
Hazen was unable to see Just now
Kansas was threatened with an 1nva-
sion of that disease and eniOined the
use of the money for that purpose and
it went back into the state treasury.
1t was shown by the evidence in the
trial that the nearest known cases OF
Asiatic cholera at or about that time
were on the eastern shore of the
Mediterranean sea and along the
north coast of Africa
During the twelve years Judge I1a-
zen has been on the bench he has had
to try an average of one hotly con-
tested murder case each year, but has
not been reversed by the supreme
court in any one of them.

Judge Hazen went on the bench jan
uary 9, 1893 At that time the circuit
ence and both that court and the dis
trict court were far behind with the
work, there being over 1,500 cases on
the district court docket, and between
300 and 400 cases on the circuit court
docket During Judge Hazens first
two years on the bench the work of the
district court was cleared up to such
an extent that it became apparent that
