NAVY ASKS Mr.. PALMER

Refining Company Seeks ST.
100000, Difference Between Mar
ket and Tentative Price Paid.

Secretary Daniels yesterday asked
Attorney General Palmer to place the
legal machinery of the Department
of Justice at the disposal of the Navy
Department in defending the suit
brought against the government by
the Atlantic Refining Company to re-
cover $1,000. 900. representing the diff
ference between the tentative prices
raid by the Navy for fuel oil and
gasoline during the war and the cur
rent market prices in Philadelphia.
Navy Department officials said that
with one exception the Atlantic Re
filming Company was the only oil COM
pany to refuse to accept the govern
ment's prices. The first step of the
government in the suit was the. filing
of a motion to change jurisdiction
from the district court in Philadelphia
to the court of claims. which is now
before the District Court.

contracts for May corn aggregating
$4,000 bushels at a time when that

he purchased more than 100000

Changes in Forty Years.

Forty years have elapsed since the
sixth justice was added to the bench
of the District Supreme Court Prior
to February 25, 1879, the work of the
court had been administered by only
five justices. At that time the popu-
lation of Washington did not exceed
100000; now there are 100000 peo-
pie here and additional duties have
been imposed on the justices in many
ways. it is pointed out.
The civil calendars are extremely
heavy and about LOO new cases are
filed annually. With two justices
only working on this calendar but
little progress can be made, as scarce
ly more than 400 cases can be dis
posed of by them in a court year
Here also is seen a pressing need for
an additional judge.
The equity calendar is growing
each year. but two judges, it is said.

cases The volume of business in
the Probate courts during the past
year has eclipsed all previous years.

in this branch of the court signed
5.471 orders. and in the present year

.ONE IN FOUR BAIL
CASES TRIED HERE
Need of Increase in Court
Seen by Examination of
Congested Docket.

Not more than one out of every four
persons indicted in the District of
Columbia, who are able to give bail,
is ever called for trial.
This remarkable condition is dis
closed in an examination of the rec
ords of the criminal courts, and the
odds bid fair to lengthen in favor of
the defendant unless Congress should
come to the aid of Washington and
furnish additional justices for the
District Supreme Court so that at
least two criminal courts may always
be in operation, it is stated.
Indictable crimes in the District have
in creased $50 per cent during the last
year over the average for the first
decade of this century. During the
ten years from 1900 to 1910 ,indict-
ments were returned against 5,00S
persons, of whom 1916 were able to
furnish bail. OF this number only
5S7 were tried, a percentage of less
than forty.

Record of Twelve Months.

During the past twelve months 1850
criminal cases have been entered on
the docketS and it is said to be only
because of extraordinary efforts that
the percentage of bail cases untried
has not kept pace with the increase
of crime. Despite such activity and
the epidemic at the Jail which necessi-
tated the trying of many bail cases
to keep the courts in operation, it is
believed that not more than one
fourth of the persons on bail were
called for trial this year. The court
year will close with many more per-
sons in Jail awaiting trial than usual
1t has always been the custom of
the United States attorney to en-
deavor to clear out the Jail before the
summer recess. and this effort, be-
cause Of lack of judges has made it
difficult to find opportunity to try
bail cases. AS these cases run over
from year to year. many have to be
abandoned because of death Of wit
nesses, their removal from Washing
ton or the dimming of their recollec-
ton as to the facts necessary for the
government to prove it's case This
latter reason is also a drawback to
the prosecution in the cases which
do come up for trial after a long
