BEGINS TOMORROW
Docket Is Largest SINGS ES-
tabliShment of That
Branch.
IMPORTANT CASES ON LIST
Members Of Bar Hope for Esriy Nam
ing of Successor to Justice
Duell.

There is little doubt that the mem-
bers Of tho local bar will make an
earnest appeal 10 the President for an
early appolntment 10 fill tho vacancy
on the bench Of the District Court of
ApDeals. caused by the retirement OF
Justice Duel about a month ago.
II will he pointed out 10 the President
that the business OF the local Appellate
Court has greatly increased or recent
years. and as matter OF fact, al
though the members OF the bench left
a clean docket At the adjournment or
court last July. nevertheless the docket
Is larger now than at any time in the
history Of the court since It was es-
tabushed IN 1888.
So II a successor TO Justice DueH IS
not named very early in the coming
session OF court, which viii begin to
morrow, the remaining members Of the
bench. Chief Justice Shepard and As
sociate Justice McComas, will ind a
very large docket awaiting their at
tention.
Important Cases Pending.
At the coming session some very i'm
portant matters viii demand the con-
sideration of the Appellate Court. AL
ready awaiting attention IS the Craw-
ford case. which was taken there on
appeal last summer. soon after young
Crawford was found guilty in the lower
court of conspiracy TO defraud the Gov
ernment IN connection with the sale OF
supplies 20 the Postoffice Department.
The Fields case, which. although al
ready passed upon will. 1t Is believed,
come back from the United States Su-
preme Court for further consideration
by the Appellate Court; numerous In
dian claims cases, not TO mention a
dozen or more OF what are known as
second-class matter postofhce cases.
Besides these mentioned there are a
number of important cases on the trial
docket OF the District Supreme Court,
which 10 Is generally DelleVeQ VIII DC
taken TO the District Court OF Appeals
for decision, no matter which party is
successful in the lower court. Among
these may be mentioned the Benning
Race Track cases, involving the valid
ity Of the District gaming laws the
Ice trust" cases. and the eight-hour
law cases, involving alleged violation
Of the eight-hOur law by contractors
having charge Of Government work.
Private Cases on Docket.
These cases have not been yet tried in
the lower court but District Attorney
Baker has announced his intention 20
bring them to trial at as early a date
as possible IN order that the questions
involved may be settled by decision OF
the highest OF the local courts.
There are also a number OF cases on
the docket involving large private in
terests which Will also demand the at
tention of the justices at the coming
term.
In addition to these there are a large
number OF patent appeal cases on the
docket awaiting consideration. In this
connection IL may be said that within
the past year the patent business OF
The court has increased more than 30
per cent, and last session demanded
more attention than any other one class
of litigation before the court.
