COURT RECORDS SHOW OVER 2,000
 ACTIONS HEARD
Business for Division Is Large Jennings Disposes of 7 Numerous Cases.

More than two thousand cases,
 including both civil and crlmlnal
 proceedings, have been disposed oi
 in the United States District Court
 by Judge Robert w. Jennings, since July 1, 1913, two months after ne was appointed on the local bench'
 according to Court records Tn the
 office of Clerk of Court. Out or thls
 total two-thirds originated In the
 northern end of the First Division'
 most of them being heard in this
 city. a few being heard at SkagWay
 The other one-third originated Tn | the southern end of the Division and were heard at Ketchikan. Out of the total number Of ac-
 tions. 1,264 were on the civil cal endar and 737 were criminal cases. Since July 1, 1920, Judge Jennings
 has disposed of POS cases in both ketchikan and Juneau. At the form CT place 37 civil and 33 criminal
 cases were concluded and when Court adjourned there shortly before
 the holidays, approximately 10 crim-
 inal end 25 civil actions were on the
 calender to be heard. There was
 also about 50 secret indictments, re-
 turned by the Grand Jury just be- fcre Court adjourned, awaiting ac- tiOn In Juneau since July l, 1920, 102 civil and 36 criminal cases were disposed of by the Court and approximately 10 criminal and 150 civil cases are still on the docket. In addition to these there are num- erous bindover cases awaiting the attention of the Federal Grand Jury which are to be considered at the 1 Court term which opens next month.
 Thsee figures, which are taken from official records, would appar- cntly indicate, according to Clerk Of Court J. w. Bell, that the claim being advanced by Ketchikan people and by the Ketchikan Grand Jury in it's final report last December of congestion of Court business is not without some basis. Mir. Bell al2o stated that during the first part of the period covered in the above records the proportion of cases aris- ing in the southern end of the Divi-l sion was not as heavy as the average for the entire period, but that dur ing the past year there has been material increase and the number of c?ses now originating there is stead fly increasing.
 Out of the 2,001 cases heard by Judge Jennings, only 47, or less than two per cent were carried on appeal to the Circuit Court of Ap- peals at San Francisco. Forty-one of the AZ taken to the Court for re- view resulted in the judgment of the trial Court being affirmed, only seven appeals, or less than one-half of one per cent. of the total cases tried, resulting in the reversal of the judgment given by Judge Jen- nings.

The races will be held at the new

the track IL that the riders can be

Speedway. and both automobile and
motorcycle racers declare the Speed
