SUPREME COURT SPEEDY
IN DISPOsING OF CASES
Chief Justice White Anxious to
Clear Docket-Lawyers Over
Country Embarrassed.

Unprecedented progress by the Supreme
Court in its years work. it became
known today, has brought emharrass-
ment to lawyers all over the country.
They have been caught unprepared to
present their cases to the court and have
been compelled TO ask the tribunal to
pass over case after case until next
year
Chief Justice White is said to possess
an ambition to clear the docket of all
cases awaiting argument, except current
business When he became head of the
court a case waited almost three years
before being heard. When the court ad-
journs the last of May for the summer
it promises to be considering cases filed
only a year before. Instead of hearing
only the first 800 cases on the docket, as
was the practice few years ago, the
court this year may call cases as far
along on the docket as No. 500.
The work during the year has been
handicapped by the absence of Justice
Lurton, on account of illness. He has
returned to Washington and intends to
resume work when the court convenes
Monday.

said Representative Caraway. now fully

The upshot of the matter was that the
District committee has sent the Buchanan
plastering bill back to the subcommittee.
and the probability is that the Commits

tons for plastering. as the committee at
