'.It's the only thing between US

LAWYERS DIFFER AST TOTHE
need OF Third JUDGE



clearly shown when I had the third
facts were presented as led to the pas
sage Of the bill without virtually any
opposition. Governor Pennypacker We
toed the bill ON the ground that there
was no necessity for a third judge
here, but there may have been other
reasons. This court is overworked and
cases argued year ago are not yet de.
caded, for the reason that the court has
too much business.
"Four weeks of the year are taken
up by both judges at Quarter Sessions
court, when one of the judges ought to
be devoting that time to writing opin.
ions. The work of the Dauphin county
court is constantly being interrupted by
State business. Every year new depart.
ments are added to the State admins.
tration and in some way additional
business is added to the Dauphin coun.
ty court. The latest is the taking OF
appeals from the Public Service Com.
mission to the local court. We already
had state tax cases, election and nomi.
nation cases, and hundred and one
other matters from the capitol to en-.
gage the attention of our court. II
certainly is time to have third Judge
for there is need for him."
John Fox Weiss, former district mt.
torney, favors third judge for the
Dauphin county bench. Eyes, I am in
favor of third Judge" said Mr.,
Weiss, "because l believe he is needed
l think our two Judges have more work
to do than any two judges in the Com
monwealth, and there should be a third
judge here"
"Too Much Work for Two Judges"
Charles G. Stroh, Of the Board OF
Law Examiners, said third Judge is
necessary for quicker dispatch of busi.
ness in this court and to relieve the
present Judges.
"We have needed third Judge here
for some time,' said Mr.. Stroh. "Our
two judges have too much to do with
| all of the state work in addition to the
county work. There should be a third
judge
W. s. Snyder said: "I think a third
Judge is badly needed. The court here
has been overcrowded with work and
yet in face of the fact that they do
work hard they are behind. To my
mind it is grand opportunity to re-
| lieve them.
Colonel Fred NJ. OFT, Solicitor OF
Dauphin county, said: "There can be
but one opinion and that is brief. The
judges here are overburdened with
work. The necessity for third Judge
never before was so apparent as at the
present time
81 always have felt the necessity for
a third judge in Dauphin county, said
Assistant District Attorney Frank B.
Wickersham. "There is much need for
another jurist here especially in view OF
the fact that Judges Knnkel and Nc.
Carroll now are overworked and should
have relief. To my mind the fact that
cases now are piling in on our judges
faster than they or any other two
judges can dispose of them, speaks for
itself"

Padded Away in a Coffin

Several men have succeeded in es-
Gaping from DEVILS island, where Cap
tain Dreyfus was confined. One bold
prisoner escaped from his cell during a
dark night and forced his way into a
shed where collins were made. Select
ing large shell, he nailed the lid down
in such way that hole was left big
enough for him to crawl into Then he
raided O stdrehouse and stole supply
of food, which he placed inside the
coffin. His next proceeding was to
drag the coffin and its contents down to
the waters edge. Reaching it in safe
ty, he launched his sepulchral vessel,
crawled into it and padded away by
means of his hands. DEVILS island
never saw him again.
