FEDERAL COURT Is
IN SORRY STRAITS
Lawyers Find il Difficult to Trans

of Main Figures.
ALLEN AWAY MOST OF TIME

The condition of the Omaha di-
vision Of the United States court has
reached a point where It is deplorable
and almost a public scandal. With
no regular Judge, no regular COM
missioner and a United States attor.
ney who has been in his office only
few days in all the time he was APP
pointed last summer, the dispatch of
business is slow and uncertain in the
extreme.
The trial of cases has been kept up
throughout the long illness of Will
lam H. Munger, and since his death,
by the hard work of federal judges
who came from neighboring districts
temporarily to sit in this division.
This work has fallen especially heav-
lily on T. c. Munger, one of the hard
est workers on the bench.
However, the little family arrangement
by which w. ]. Bryans brother-in-law
was appointed United States district at
torney. with headquarters in Omaha. is
not working out for the best interests
of this important office and for the dis
patch Of the heavy business Of the Omaha
division.
Immediately after his appointment, Mr.
Allen took an extended trip TO the Pa
cific coast. Since ne has been back he
has been found at the Omaha office only
occasionally. At the present time he is
in the east.
Lives I'm Lincoln.
The principal trouble seems to Ie in
the fact that the appointee lives In Lin
coin and doesn't find it convenient to
move to Omaha. Naturally the round
trip OF 10 miles TO his office isn't taken
any oftener than absolutely necessary.
Consequently prisoners lie in Jail. va
rious papers go unsigned. the business
of the office, which ought to be trans
acted every week day. is delayed until
Mr.. Allen finds 1t convenient to come to
Omaha.
The expressions OF dissatisfaction have
been many in the last few months among
attorneys and persons having business
with the United States government
through its attorney In this division, that
he is always absent from his office.
