FEDERAL COURT WORK.
Judge Dole feels the pressure Of
work which the constant trial of cases
in court imposes. on him. He said
yesterday:
"The first case in which I will be
able to give a decision is that of the
libel against the Manchuria by the
owners of the tug Fearless. If had
a week in which 1 could work on this
case L could complete it, but with the
present rush of criminal work which
is taking up so much time in court it
seems impossible to get much time
for anything else
"The next case after the Manchuria
libel will be that of the Chiusa Maru,
which will be followed by the dredger
Pacific case. These matters / feel
should have the first attention, be-
cause there are many different inter-
ests involved in insurance claims and
the like I should like to get this
work done at once, but can not say
Just when I shall be able to do it.
