LAWYERS TO ASK
FOR MORE JUDGES
Propose That Wayne Circuit
Bench Be Increased To Ten
Members

Although Circuit Judge Alfred J.
Murphy and former Judge James D.
Murfin opposed the plan on the ground
that 1t would be too great an expense
to taxpayers, the Detroit Bar associa-
ton Wednesday afternoon adopted q
resolution favoring the creation Of
four additional circuit judgeships for
Wayne county. There are now six
circuit judges, and according to the
report OF Attorney Jasper G. Gates.
OF the executive committee of the bar
association, the court IL about 5000
cases behind, and Is continuing TO
fall behind at the rate OF 200 each
month.
Judge Murphy called the attention
OF the lawyers 10 the bill now pend
Ing In the legislature, providing for

Judge. who shall have power to as

circuit jurists now assisting the

tral, it would be impossible to avoid
fracturing the neutrality of Panama.
AS it is, frict ion constantly arises
between the canal and the city au-
thorities.
General Davis was appointed first
civil governor of the canal zone.
On June lst. 1908. Mr.. Wallace
was appointed chief engin eer
and Colonel Gorgas sanitary
and health officer and work that the
Colonel has accomplished is a mat
ter of history.
The swat-the- fly campaign of last
year, in America, was hut child
play in comparison with the mos
quito brigades on the Isthmus. 1t
must be remembered that the mos
quitos had been accused, tried and
found guilty of spreading the Yel-
low Fever, and its determination
was the job that Colonel Gorgas had
cut out for him.
1t is enough to say that he and
his corps OF assistants have trans
formed the Isthmus from a fever
ridden jungle into place that would
compare favorably with our best
cities.
The canal was a political under
taking in the start and Mr.. Wal
lace tried to make the dirt fly, and
there were five hundred kept on the
job by the French Company in
order to hold their concession. Mr..
Wallace wished to keep this body
IF men as a nucleus of labor force,
and two American steam shovels
and two re-erected French excava-
tors were placed at work in the cut
and by July 1st, there were more
than ten thousand men working
there.
At this time we had not decided
on the type of a canal or the exact
route, and owing to the amount of
red tape that was caused by the
commission residing in Washington,
and their fears of falling into the
errors of the French Co., it was i'm
possible for Mr.. Wallace to get the
equipment or supplies that were
necessary, until months after they
were ordered; as this state of things
was very unsatisfactory the CON-
missioners were forced to resign, and
a new one was appointed by the
President, consisting of Mr.. Wal
lace. Chairman; T. P. Shonts, G. E.
Magoon, and four of the first COM
missioners. two of which were to
reside in the Isthmus. Mr.. Roose-
Welt and his big stick dominated
the proceedings. and it has been
said that the canal was being dug by
Executive evasion. as congress re-
fused to legislate.
A council of prominent engi-
neers of the world was called by the
President, to decide whether the
sea level or the lock system should
be adopted. just prior to the date
of the meeting of this council, Mr..
Wallace resigned, and John. F.
Stevens was appointed to fill the
vacancy, and at the meeting of this
council, the majority were in favor
of the sea level type Of canal, though
even they admitted that it would
cost twice as much money and take
twice as long to dig as the lock
system.
Mr. Stevens report recommending
the lock system seemed to have
more effect. For in Mr.. Roosevelts
message to Congress on February
29th, 1906, he recommended the
lock system and this much discuss
ed question was settled by vote of
Congress, and the lock canal was
publicly adopted.
At this time there were thirty
eight cases of yellow fever in
the hospital at Colon, and though
