BAR TO ASK FOR
ANOTHER JUDGE
e. G. Graves Accepts Assign
ment for Term on Bench in
Appellate Court.
WORKS HARDSHIP HERE
Makes 1t Necessary Tor Two Judges
to Handle Work of Five Courts
Discuss Challenge.

Because OF the assignment of Judge
E. c. Graves 10 the appellate bench
and the prospect that Judges W. H.
Gest and F. D. Ramsay will have more
than they can do in serving four coun-
ties while the third judge is on other
duty, the local bar association has de-
cided TO request the supreme court of
the state to appoint a temporary
judge TO help out during the absence
OF Judge Graves. President B. D.
Connolly of the association was au-
thoriZed TO appoint a committee Of
three TO confer with the circuit judges
as TO their preferences and then make
the formal request to the supreme
court The committeeman are W. A.
Meese, E. H. Stafford and Albert HUI
Der.
BUSINESS HERE HEAVY.
The docket for the September term
of court is an extremely heavy one
and there will be- need of both the
main and the branch courts almost
continuously after the opening of the
term Sept. IS. That would mean that
the two judges would have FIVE courts
" care lOls dS Tue ONACi LIISS COuullCS
in the circuit each has its own court.
Rock Island county does nearly as
much law business as the other three
counties put together. and therefore
the absence of Judge Graves will work
its greatest hardship here.
DISCUSS SECRET CHALLENGE.
During yesterdays meeting there
was a long discussion of the secret
challenge such as obtains in many
other places but which has not been
tried in this district AS practiced
now, il is necessary for an attorney TO
publicly proclaim that he does not
want a certain man on the jury, there
by rendering the man antagonistic to
him should he serve on any jury in
the future. Under the secret plan,
Gil attorney merely writes the name
of the man wnom he desires 10 excuse
peremptorIly AID it is then read by
the clerk and ne veuireman does not
know who challenged him and no hard
feelings are caused The sentiment
Of The association was strongly for
