OFFICE FAR BEHIND.
Supervising Architect Unable to
Take Up Work Recently Authorized.

There is such congestion Of business in
the office of the supervising architect of
the United States that work on public
buildings authorized in the last public
buildings bill cannot be commenced for
at least two years.
The small force of the Office has more
work thrust upon it than it can possibly
keep up with. Unless Congress provides
the supervising architect with an in
creased force of architects and drafts
men, those towns which expect to see
new buildings started within the present
year will have to wait until 1915 or later

JUSTICE AND ATTORNEY
RECALL ASSOCIATIONS
Present Tribunal Organized March
%, 1868, as Successor of
Circuit Court.

The semi-centenniaI Of the eStablish :
ment of the Supreme Court Of the Dis
trict of Columbia was celebrated today
at a meeting of the court in general
term. The court was organized March
%, 1853, in the midst of the civil war,
and succeeded the old Circuit Court,
which had been 1egislated out of ex-
istence because of the supposed lean
ing of the members of the bench to
the cause of the south.
The court was at first composed Of
four justices, and by a coincidence
there We're but four members of the
present court on the bench this morn
ing.
Chief Justice CIabaugh and Justice
Gould were detained away by sick
ness. Justice Barnard presided and
with him were Justices Anderson,
Wright and Stafford.
The bench was decorated with Easter
lilies. Daniel O'C. Callaghan, a member
of the bar for forty years. was the ora
tor of the occasion. Justice Barnard
spoke for the court.
History of Reorganization.
Mr.. Callaghan referred to the pass
ing of the old Circuit Court and to the
organization of the new tribunal with
Chief Justice D. X. Carter and Asso-
ciate Justices A. B. Olin, George p
Fisher and Andrew Wylie on the
bench.
The bar of that court included 100 law
yers, he said, and now there are more
than GOD practicing before the court. OF
the bar as then constituted. Mr.. Callag-
han stated, there are living but eight
men. some of whom are no longer active
ly engaged in the practice of the law.
The survivors of the first bar of the
court are Eugene Carus, William +. Mat
tingly, Nathaniel Wilson. w. A. Maury
Richard T. Morsell, Lemon G. Hine, Sam
uel L. Phillips and Simon Wolf. Mr.
Callaghan proposed resolution to be
spread on the minutes of the court COM
memorating the completion of fifty years
of activity.
The first act of the court was to ap-
point Return J. Meigs clerk. Mr. Meigs
retained the Office until his death in Oc-
tober, 1891. He was succeeded by John
r. Young. the incumbent. The court has
had but two clerks i'm it's history.
Return j. Meigs, jr, son of the first
clerk. entered the office with his father,
and is the sole survivor of the clerical
force Of the original court. Mr.. Meigs,
now eighty-three years old, is detained
at home by illness and was unable to be
present at the ceremonies today.

Authorities Obdurate.

a firm stand in the matter, and violators
of the navigation laws have found 1t use
less to appeal for a remission or reduc-
ton in the amount of the fine Vessel

had plenty of warning as to the neces-

Big Total of Fines.

Since the launch started cruising on the
Chesapeake Capt. Dryden has found
many vessels with insufficient equipment
aboard, and some violating the reguia-
tons by not using proper lights at night
They have all been reported and fines
ranging from $50 to $500 have been placed
upon them. 1t is said that since the Tar
ragon has been in commission, less than
a year, the amount collected from fines
imposed on vessels she has reported for
navigation law violations amounts to
more than the first cost of the vessel 4.

WIN
NER OF GAME

Minneapolis, Sept. 29.-Displaying
strength but an apparent lack Of team
work the university of Minnesota
opened its football season by defeat
ing South Dakota university IA to in
a hard fought game here Saturday
afternoon.
All of the scoring was made in the
initial period when Minnesota broke
their opponents line almost at will.
South Dakota appeared>to strengthen
womb rfully in the last three periods,
during which neither team came dan
gerously near to scoring. Minnesota
presented a stone wall line, while on
the other hand, Tollefson, McAlmon,
Bierman and Solon plunged through
South Dakota's line for liberal gains
at times. Both teams made numerous
costly fumbles.
The first touchdown came after eight
minutes of play and was made by
Shonesy from the ten-yard line. Nc
Almon scored the second touchdown
after Minnesota recovered a fun bled
ball on South Dakota's five yeard
line. Torlefson kicked both goals.

G. R. MALONE HAS
FEASIBLE PLAN

Draper, Sept. 80. G.. r. Malone, of
this place, head of the state grange,
proposes plan which would not only
build up the dairy interests of the
western part of the state but also help
solve the scarcity of beef problem in
this state. His plan is to ask each
nonresident land owner in Lyman
county to SUPPLY the resident owners
with five head of COWS for each quar-
ter section owned by the nonresident,
payment to be made a share of the
cream product, and Of the increase
in the live stock from the COWS fur
nished; the division of the livestock
to be at the end of three year per-
iod, The COWS are only to be furnish
ed where evidence of proper care and
handling can be given by the resi-
dent receiving the same. While he
bases his theory only upon that of
building up the dairy interests, and
along with that interest, the natural
growth of land values in commun-
ity that is making good financially,
the increase in livestock production
would also help in the increase of the
beef supply so badly needed in the
country, especially if the plan pro-
posed by Mr.. Malone should be adopt
ed generally over the western portion
of the state, as well ss for Lyman
county
