CLAIM COURT
METHOD IS
TOO SLOW
Local Lawyers Plan Asking
For New Judicial Proceed
ure Here.
THINK. MORE CASES
SHOULD BE HEARD

Considerable dissatisfaction is being
expressed by a number of local attor-
neys over the fact that they are unable
to obtain hearings in cases pending in
the 34th and 41st district courts, which
they are really anxious to have settled.
They complain that too much time is
lost and allege that more cases should
be set for hearing. AS result Of the
complaints. it is understood that
number of attorneys are considering
asking for the installation of new
system.
Under the present arrangement, the
cases are set for hearing by a commit
tee of lawyers selected from the mem
bership of the bar, who act in con-
junction with attorneys interested in
the various cases. This relieves the
Judges of the two courts from any re-
sponsibility. Also, under the present
arrangement. but eight cases are set
for hearing each week, four on Mon
day and four on Thursday.
COntinunnces Frequent.
Ordinarily, the hearing of one case,
or two at least, furnishes more than
enough work for one week, but it often
transpires that the attorneys interested
in the first case set for hearing on
Monday or Tuesday mornings secure a
continuance or are unable for some
other reason to go to trial In that
event. the second case is called, but IT
is generally understood that the case
first set is to be heard and the attor-
news interested in the second case and
their clients are seldom present. The
third and fourth cases are called, but
as a rule. the clients are not in court
Consequently. considerable time IS
lost, and the attorneys who allege that
they want justice and that the mem
bers of the opposing counsel are afrald
of justice, are becoming tired OF the
deal and want a change.
In 34th District Court.
In the saith district court, the mo-
notony is somewhat varied. owing to
the sessions of the criminal court
When Judge Harper presides in civil
cases however, his court is in vaca-
ton part of the time. The setting OF
civil cases in. both courts is based on
the same principle.
DOckefs Become Heavy.
Judge Walthall, of the 41st district
court. is in vacation, or has been the
mast few weeks. a considerable part Of.
the time This does not include the
regular vacation period He expresses
himself as interested in the scheme to
try more cases, as his docket is becom-
ing an enlarged edition. Judge Har-
per's docket is also becoming large
hut a number of the cases pending IN
his court are criminal actions.

saying:
The men who are behind this movement
never did anything in the way of pronot-

finger to help stay dissension in this

that which has already been done, namely,
the upholding of the pastor in the night
