WEST Is CHOSEN
PRESIDING JUDGE
INGHAM COUNTY JURlST TO
OCCUPY OFFICE NEWLY
CREATED.
WILL NOT MISUSE POWER
New Law Gives Considerable Juris-
diction in Matter of Sending
Judges From One Circuit
Into Another.

Lansing-Judge Howard West, OF
the Ingham county circuit. was Thurs
day elected presiding judge of Mich
igan.
He received 20 out OF the AZ votes
cast, the balance being distributed
between Judge Charles b. Colling-
wood, of Ingham Judge Peter f..
Dodds, of Mt. Pleasant, and Judge
Collins, of Bay City.
Telling the judges that he did not
want the position, but that he would
not shirk the responsibility of it,
Judge West accepted the appoint
ment. His term of office will not be-
gin until January l, and by that time,
it is expected that some system Of
assigning judges will be worked out
The actual planning was left to Judge
West.
Two sessions were held, in the
morning and afternoon. At the sec
ond session, the new law which con-
vened them was discussed in all Of
its phases.
Two propositions entered into the
discussion. The first was the power
of the presiding Judge. In one way
many were convinced that he could,
if so minded, be czar. He could
take judges out of their own circuit
and put them in others without inter
ference. Judge West promised that
he would not force any judge to leave
his own circuit unless he voluntarily
agreed to go.
The second proposition dealt with
the compensation. An opinion of At
torney General Fellows made TO
Auditor-General Fuller conveyed the
impression that under the law, any
switch not made through the new
presiding judge would not produce
extra compensation from the state.
This was generally taken as correct.
All through the deliberations there
seemed TO be some idea that the
Wayne county judges and the Wayne
county lawyers were against the
bringing TO that county of outside
judges. Judges Murphy and Mandell,
of Wayne county. denied this impli-
cation, and said Wayne county needed
outside help and had to have it. In
fact Judge Murphy said that the
county clerk was now preparing a
docket of cases to be given to four
outside judges, whom he said Wayne
county needed 10 have sitting all the
time.
Judge Mandell said that all out
side judges would be welcome,
while Judge Murphy said the only
objection he had ever heard from
the lawyers was that when the out
side judges had stayed but a little
time, they left motions for new trials
and such aftermaths in such shape
that they had to be heard all over
again. This, he said, might be rem
edied. In the end, the entire matter
was left to Presiding Judge West.
