J. $. JENCKES |S. APPOINTED THIRD.
 JUDGE IN COUNTY
Governor Names Local At torney To Third Judge ship-Report Shows Much Work In Courts

Joseph s. Jenckes was appointed judge of the third division of the Eu- perior court of Marlcopa county by Governor Thomas F. Campbell yester- day. Judge Frank II. Lyman of divi- sion two will administer the oath to Judge Jenckes this morning. when he win take over his new duties.
 The appointment was made by the governor on receipt of certified copy of the census report giving Maricopa county a population of S9,S17. In ac- eordance with the statutes one judge is allowed to every 30,000 or a fraction thereof, and in addition to having the required population the governor was assured of the need of a third judge before naming MT. Jencl1es. A report submitted by the clerk of the court showed the number of cases to date untried to be 2.OSs. In his report thN clerk stated that 112 civil suits alone have been filed since the first of the year.
 The appointment of Mir. Jenckes will unquestionably prove satisfactory to the legal fraternity, since he received the endorsement of the county bar asso- ciation,l which some time since peti- toned the governor to appoint a third judge.
 Judge Jenckes came to Arizona in 1907 from Indiana, where he was a rail- road official for several years. After coming to Phoenix he read law with Judge Kent and later with his father in-law, Judge Joseph Fl. Kibbey. He later was associated in his practice with F. c. Struckmeyer and for the past several years has been a member of the law firm of Kibbey, Bennett and Jenckes.
 It is not known what particular cases will be handled by Judge Jenckes. The present court program was arranged on the appointment of a second judge, Judge Stanford handling all criminal cases. Judge Lyman all probate mat ters, with an equal division of civil suits, juvenile and insanity hearings.

 The oldest civil cases at issue dat, back to May 10. 1915. and from tha date they run on up to the presen time. Of course, you will understan' the real old cases are not due to tn courts laxity. but due to the attorne. in the case not prosecuting same witt diligence. There have been 112 civi cases alone filed since the first O January.
 The juvenile and insanity cases con sume quite a good deal of the court time, insanity eases averaging about per month, should judge. There is m question but that the two divisions O this court have more work than the can keep up closely with, and the pres
