Wants Buffer State.
Washington, March 5. - Deeply
concerned over the rapid eastward
spread Of bolshevism. Japan is un-
derstood to desire the creation OF
a buffer state between 1t and soviet
controlled Russia. 1t is believed
here that the creation Of a state
may be made one of the first con-
siderations in any future relations
between Japan and Russia.
Establishment of an autonomous
Siberian state centered about Irk-
utsk has been contemplated recent
ly by the bolsheviki, according to
official dispatches received here.
Such a state, while following the
political outlines of the present
Russian government, would still
possess a sufficiently independent
character to satisfy any Japanese
desire for a buffer between Japan
and bolsheviki controlled Russia

degree that penalties are applied.
1t has been suggested that a special
court for the trial Of liquor charges
should be cstablished-an excise court
as it were-to relieve the other courts
of these cases, which are sure to re-
main numerous for q long time. AT
the beginning Of the local prohibition
period there vas so much congestion
in the Police Court that bootlegging
throve flagrantly because Of the pfae'
teal assurance that prosecutions could
not be had for weeks after arrest.
Demands for jury trials so ehoked the
courts calendar that some eases
were not disposed Of for three and
four months after initiation.
Such a tribunal will have to be
established by act Of Congress. In

triet Judiciary 10 such as to demand
the addition Of at least one, il not
two more judges to the bench to re-
lieve the normal congestion that has
been existent for several years, to

The hope is that within another year
this enlargement Of the court will
occur.
