REFORMS NEEDED IN FEDERAL COURT SYSTEM, TAFT SAYS
Chief Justice Suggests Ap- pointment of More District Judges-Dockets Are
 Now Crowded
By Associated Press

Chicago, December 27.-Expanding activities of the federal courts may swamp them, "and delaying is de- nal of justice" Chief Justice William Howard Taft, of the United States su- preme court, said tonight in an ad- dress before the Chicago Bar associa- tion. urging reforms which he out lined as follows:
 First, an increase in the Judicial force in the trial federal courts and an organization and effective distri- button of the force by the council of judges.
 Second, simplicity of procedure in the trials in the federal courts.
 Third. a reduction in the obliga- tory Jurisdiction of the supreme court and an increase In the field of it's dis cretfonary jurisdiction by certiorari.
 Courts Important
 There Is no field of governmental sction so important to the people as our courts" he said. There Is noth- ing iu those courts so essential to the doing of justice as the prompt dis patch of business and elimination from procedure of such requirements as will defeat the ends of justice through technicality and delay.
 While the bar and the bench are really much less responsible for de- lays in legal procedure than the pub lie ts likely to think, the very fact that they are popularly supposed tc be responsible should make us ac, with increased energy to justify the existence of our profession and the maintenance of courts.
 "Examination Of the statistics oi cases brought and tried and personal conferences with judges leave nc doubt that an increase of the judges of first instance in the federal sys- tenn is absolutely necessary"

or the jail was pried open with "a
crowbar and that two other doors
were broken similarly, but that use
OF an acetelyne torch was necessary
to force an entrance into Jones' cell.
Hardware merchants failed to identify
the new rope which the mob used.
A Hattiesburg citizen who was said
TO nave suffered serious injuries In
the fight Jones made upon his assail-
ants told Coroner Hullett he was the

tackled him on the street, and that a
passing motorist carried him to the
Methodist Hospital. where he still is.
The patient said he knew nothing Of
the 1ynching.
About seventy men are said to have
