JUSTICE O'NEAL'S
PLAN is OPPOSED
Judge Nimba Does Not Fake Kindly to Proposed
Scheme for Changing Hearing Methods in
Police Courts.

Justice of the Peace Lewis l. O'Neals
proposed scheme 10 require judges OF
the Police Court TO serve in the two
courts in the absence of colleague In
stead of this service being performed by
a justice OF the peace. as is the present
custom, does not meet with the ap-
proval of Police Court Judge Ivory G.
kimball.
This plan of Encouragement Of the
present system was recently advanced
by Justice O'NeiI at a hearing before
the Board OF District Commissioners
His plan had the Endorsement Of Justices
of the Peace Charles s. Bundy. Luke
- Strider. and Robert Terrell. who
made vigorous protest against the jus
tees OF the peace in the police courts.
claiming that it worked serious injury
to their own courts by reason Of con-
gested cases.
Judge Kimban states that the plan
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1906-01-30

might be feasible for a short time, but
any long continued service in two
courts, morning and afternoon. would
be impossible for any one Judge to en-
dure. He states that a further objec-
ton arises from the fact that IL would
require the attendance of policemen
until late in the afternoon, depriving
them of their regular . Rods of resi-
and keep them from the streets when
called there by their assignments of
duty
Another serious objection saws
Judge Klmball. ''is that IL would be i'm
possible 10 hold jury trials, as the cur
rent business would take the entire
working day, and persons entitled TO
jury trial and TO be tried speedily would
have 10 be kept locked in Jail unless
under bond until there would be two
Judges on duty"
The Commissioners are convinced that
some change is needed. and are now
engaged In evolving plan which will
be acceptable TO the justices and the
judges.

while their victims lay face down on

DEADLOCK ON THIRD
ARBITRATOR.


:. The Garments union is still at a dead
lock with the United Railroads over
the selection of the third arbitrator.
Up to last night President Cornelius
refused to select a name from the list
of Supreme Court and Federal Judges
handed him by Mutually. He added.
however, three names to the list which
he had previously submitted as ac-
ceptable to the union. The three new
men are Superior Judge James v. Cof-
fey. Superior Judge J. w. Seawell and
H. Prayer.
Mullally continues in his position that
the carmen should find one among the
Supreme Judges whom they can trust,
but the carmen say they are all of
one class in society" which seems to
mean that they consider a Supreme
Judge an associate of wealth rather
than labor. One thing is sure, the car
men Will have none of the Federal
Judges. The Federal bench, they say.
has been too free with injunctions to
suit the union.
Another conference between Mutually
and Cornelius and Worthington is to
be~heid this morning y'i1en- he carmen
will continue to urge the acceptance of
one of the eight names which they have
proposed. rt
