CIRCUIT
Court Of United States Out
Of Existence Today

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 30-The
United States Circuit courts, which
constituted an important part of the
Federal judiciary system for nearly
century past, cease their existence
today. The passing of these courts,
seventy-seven In number and covering
the entire country, is one of the re-
forms provided for in the new judic-
iary code, enacted by Congress on
March 3 last, to become effective Jan
uary /, 1912 The existence of the cir
cult courts since 1891 when the cir
cnit courts of appeal were created,
has been regarded as super6uous and
expensive. The circuit judges do not
lose their positions by the change, as
they will continue to sit in the cir
cult courts of appeal and help in the
district courts.
