CIRCUIT COURT
 ORGANIZATION
Judge Morrow Here to Or ganize New Work. Jaynes Clerk, Overlook Marshal, Morrison Attorney. Inter esting Procedure.

Circuit Judge William w. Morrow
 Of the Ninth Judicial district reached Phoenix yesterday for the purpose of
 organizing the United States district
 court in the state of Arizona now
 attached and made a part of that district.
 Judge Morrow. recognized through out the west as an eminent jurist is accompanied by his wife and his sec
 retary, William II. Barnum, the entire
 party being domiciled at the Hotel
 Adams.
 The first session of the new court
 tnew in AriZona) will be held in the superior court room tomorrow morn ing at 10 o'clock. Judge Morrow will officially declare the court open and Allan B. Jaynes, of Tucson will read the order of the senior circuit
 judge. William B. Gilbert, directing Judge Morrow to organize, open and hold the United States District Court l for the District of Arizona" | Jaynes will then be appointed ;em-
 porary clerk of the court, and the
 new official will file his bond and
 be sworn. Judge Morrow will con-
 tinue the organization of the court by naming C. A. Overlook. United States Marshal, ad interim. and will
 follow this appointment immediately
 by presenting the name of J. F.. Nor rison to be United States attorney.
 Then for moment or two Nor rison will be the only man in the world authorized to practice, before the United States district court in Arizona. an honor which he will es- .teem highly and may have framed and handed down to his posterity.
 This distinction will not last long, for upon motion of the United States attorney, Edward Kent. former chief justice of the territorial supreme court will be admitted to all the rights. privileges and honors so brief ly enjoyed by Morrison.
 Judge Kent will be the medium through which the practitioners will be admitted to practice, and to him falls the duty of nominating those members of the profession who feel called to this particular bar. IL is Judge Morrow's practice to admit all attorneys in open court so that it behoovcs aspiring lawyers to get their names to Judge Kent for presenta- ton before 10 o'clock Monday morn ing. and be there themselves.
 Judge Morrow says that he does not know how much or how little business may be waiting for the or ganization of his court. It is certain that number of cases are to be from the old territorial courts and a reason for the early or ganizing of the circuit court is to protect litigants from the operation of the statute of limitations as from February 14th when Arizona became a state she has been without a federal judiciary.
 The district to which Arizona is now added is composed besides this state. of California, Oregon. Idaho, Washington, Montana and Nevada.
 It is Judge Morrow's first visit to Phoenix and naturally he is much with its beauty and its evident prospects. He is now eligible for a residence here, and half 1ok- ingly declared that he might some time consider this right.
 A United States circuit judge is required to live within his district, Judge Morrow's home is in San Fran cisco. but he is already feeling the call of the desert. and promises to- inform his colleagues of his good fortune fin being assigned to this state.
