his remarks exclusively to phases of

Favors Increasing Number
of Jurists by Two.

Pleas for increasing the salaries Of
District judges and for two additional
judges in the District were made to-
day before the judiciary committee
of the House by former Senator Jo-
scph Bailey of Texas, a practicinE
attorney of this city. In the course of
his appeal. when interrupted by ques-
tlons. MIR. Bailey paid his respects to
those who have been profiteering in
housing and eating accommodations.
He was arguing in favor of includ-
Ing the District judges in a bill on
which special rule has been asked
for general increase in salary to
all federal judges
Regarding profiteering, he said that
the hotels have been making the ut
most profits during the war, not only
IN ashlnEton. but throughout the
country. Ee said they have doubled
1heir charges and divided their forces.

He referred TO the fact that there
arc no Industries here and that the

identified with or employed by the
government.

He said that $4,000 was too little
for judge to live respectfully. A
Judge cannot engage in trade, he
said. but has to maintain the dignity
Of the office. He has to educate his
Ch.idren. and as Il side remark Mr..
RaiA-y said that the judge who has a.

out that Washington is one OF the

Mr.. Bailey described the condition

make q peculiar court condition mere.
Mr.. Bailey also argued strongly IN

families in the city which have two
members each lying dead in their
homes. Mrs. Rooney is one of these,

the others have not been ascertained.
Some of the undertakers now have as
many as six calls to bury persons who
have died since Saturday evening that
they have not yet had time to get to.
All they know is that the call came in
by telephone or messenger and they
will be attended to in their turn. By
order of DR.. Windesheim, public health
commissioner, all the children will be
buried at once or as soon as it can be
done before any adults are buried.
