TENTH CIRCUIT
GAINS FRIENDS
Judge Walter M. Bickford of Butte
Urges New Federal
Court.
LEGAL BUSINESS GROWING
STRONG SENTIMENT IN FAVOR
OF SEN. cLARK'S MEASURE.

Judge Walter NJ. Bickford, general
counsel for Senator w. A. Clark, was
in the city yesterday on his way home
to Butte from Washington, where he ap-
peared before the supreme court in i'm
portant litigation.
On his return Judge Bickford stopped
over in Denver to consult leading law
yers there regarding Senator CIark's bill
for the creation of a new federal circuit
court. He said he found the Denver
lawyers unanimously in favor of the
senator's bill and has their assurance
that they will urge the Colorado con-
gressiOnaI delegation to support it. Dis
GUESSING the proposition, Judge BickfOrd
said:
1.-The annexation of the Philippines and
the increasing Importance of Alaska have
thrown heavy burden of litigation uDOn
the Ninth circuit, which was already
crowded with work. The Eighth circuit
has more litigation in hand than it can
take care of properly. and those lawyers
familiar with the situation recognize the
absolute necessity of a tenth circuit to
relieve the other two. The mining and
irrigation business of the state which
would be included in the new circuit
call for such a court as the senators
bill cOntemplates, and the demand for
it is so general that little opposition, if
any, is expected"

not to give in to the soldiers unless
they have to, believing if they would
it will mean their return to Utah,

active in laying in a large supply Of

taken as an indication that they pro-
