MORE Federal
JUDGES SOON
Draft of Proposed Legisla-
ton Submitted to Chief
Justice Taft
WOULD RELIEVE
HEAVY DOCKETS

WASHINGTON. July 27.-Addi-
tional Federal judgeships will be
created by new legislation to relieve
congestion Of dockets in Federal
courts under plans approved by At
torney General Daugherty. The At
torney-General said his plans, which
will have tlse effect Of putting the
judiciary on a more systematic
working basis, are about ready for
presentation to the judiciary Com
mittees Of the Senate and House.
A tentative draft Of the proposed
legislation has been sent to Chief
Justice Taft, now at Montreal. for
further suggestions and possible
modification.
Pending return of this document
by the Chief Justice and its presen-
tation for approval to the President
the Attorney General said he could
not discuss in detail all the provisions
which he hopes to see put through
Congress. The extra judges are to be
created in some Of the larger States
where court business has greatly
multiplied since prohibition began.
New York is certain to get an extra
Federal judge, officials said tonight.
In its present form the proposed
legislation, in addition to giving the
judiciary greater numerical strength,
would empower the Attorney-Gen-
eral to take special steps whenever
conditions warranted to clear up
jams on court dockets by reassign-
ment or transfer of Federal judges
temporarily from districts which
are not overworked to districts Where
the pressure upon the courts is
heaviest.
William Hayward, District Attor-
ney Of New York. member of the
Attorney Generals special court
docket committee, was one of the
first to suggest the need of extra
judges as the best means of clear
ing the court jams. and his sugges-
tions were heartily approved by the
Attorney-G General and by Chief JUS
tice Taft. who was asked to sit with
the committee to aid in formulating
programme for court relief legis.
lation.
There are pending in Fedora
courts about $1,000 criminal cases
Mr.. Daugherty said Much OF thi'
congestion is due to accumulation OF
liquor law cases The jam is per
haps greatest in New York, where
latest estimates show that nearly A.,
900 liquor law cases and others in
volving violations OF criminal code
arc pending Many Of the cases hav

GIANTS FAII no APPEAR.

Sports Editor The Evening Journal.
Dear Sir: The much talked-of
Wilmington Giants failed to appear
last night at Eighth avenue and
Duncan street. for their game with
Bronze, thereby disappointing near
ly 600 fans. People are asking,
Whats the Matter With Baseball?"
This is one reason. Such teams as
the Wilmington Giants boost their
club in the papers claiming they can
get games and then fail to appear.
1 think such clubs should be
barred from baseball circles. No
wonder the Giants claim the cham
pionship among colored teams.
Delaware Bronze does not like to
knock but when a steam does not
notify them they cannot appear, it's
time something was said 10 warn
other teams. We remain,

Solicitor Reuben satterthwaite at the
weekly meeting Of the directors Of
Public Safety yesterday afternoon.
No more exhibitions Of the manly art

bury is dead and buried by the edict.
Mr.. Satterthwaite holds that the
manner in which such contests are
conducted determines whether or not
they are a violation of the city ordi-
nance prohibiting prize fighting. II
in such contests, however, there is a
sum Of money or thing of value de-
pendent upon the result Of the con-
test, and the intention TO hse violence
for the purpose OF inficting injury
exists. such a contest is prohibited
/ by the ordinance. and the mere fact
that 1t is called a friendly bout and
for scientific pionts does not change
