DELAY MAY EMbARRASS
MUNICIPAL COURT BADLY
NEEDS NEW JUDGE.
Only a Fourth of the Cases Filed
This Year Have Been
Tried.

There is apprehension in legal circles
that the failure Of the President to fill
the vacant judgeships on the Municipal
Court bench will result In an accumula-
ton of cases and congestion OF the
business Of that court unless the appoint
ments are soon made. At this time Judge
Aukam IS the sole judge. and he is en-.
deavoring to handle the cases with as
much expedition as possible.
He disposed Of all cases that came be-
fore the court yesterday and today, but
in majority of the suits continuances
have been asked for by either plaintiffs
or defendants. The number of cases ac-
tually tried was about forty.
This is about one-fourth of the total
number filed so far this year. including
both landlord and tenant and debt suits
Aukam Will Not Comment.
Judge Aukam did not care to discuss
this morning either the probable conges-
ton of cases If no appointments are
made in the near future or the possible
appointees. His sole object, he said, is
to clear up the daily dockets as we'll as
possible.
In order that he may have ample room
to accommodate persons interested in
the cases on trial and those due to be
tried during the day, his court has been
moved from part w to part IL. The lat
ter room was formerly used by Judge
Charles 8. Bundy. and is the largest
courtroom in the building.
I'VE are progressing nicely up to the
present time" remarked one of the as
sistant court clerks, but there's no tell
ing when we'll have congestion of cases
which will tie us up"
The judges whose terms expired the
last day Of the year, and who have not
yet received reappointments. are Thomas
H. Callan. Charles 8. Bundy. Samuel c.
Mills. Luke c. Strider and Robert H. Ter

The Senate employee thought nothing
more of the incident until he stepped into

A Complicated Question.
'"The question OF food supply is most

facts are TO be considered-hrst, the price
paid by the wholesale merchant to the
producer; second, the cost of transport
tation from the place of production. and
third, the difference between the whole
sale and retail prices. The location of
the place of production and consequently
the question of transportation play a
large part In the general results"
Commissioner West told a Star reporter
this morning that he would certainly dc
anything he could to aid the movement
toward lowering food prices. He was told
that the remark had been made that

New Senator's Perplexity.

Senator-elect Gordon's appearance ir
the Senate chamber today was. however
not without some difYiculties for him. He
boarded Pennsylvania avenue car going
In the direction of the dome to be seen
in the distance. When the Peace monu-
ment was reached Mr.. Gordon saw that
the trocks led to side street. He rose to
get off. remarking that he wanted to get
to the Capitol.
III You are going to the Capitol. just
stay on this car. remarked an EN-
ploye of the Senate. not knowing the
identity of the southern veteran. Mr.
Gordon hesitated moment and then
resumed his seat i'm the car. The car
wended its way along 1st street and
then up c street. and finally came to
stop in front OF the Union station
The prospective member of the Sen
ate apparently concluded that. although
he had remained on the car as advised.
he had been getting farther and farther
away from the Senate chamber. So he
rose again to get of the car. so that
he could walk I'm straight line for the
dome on Capitol Hill.
