TAFT ASKS SENATE
FOR MORE JUDGES
Best Way to Clear Congested
Federal Dockets
TWO FOR EACH CIRCUIT
Former President Also Advises Super
vision Of Courts BY Supreme
Tribunai-Approves Pend.
ing Bill.

Washington.--Chief Justice Taft, ap-
pearing before the Senate judiciary
Committee, urged creation OF eighteen
additional district judges as means
of relieving congestion in Federal
court dockets. Something must be
done Immediately, he declared, to keep
the courts from being swamped.
Present also at the hearing were
Attorney General Daugherty and
committee of Federal judges and Dis
trict Attorneys which has recommend
ed an increase in the number OF Fed
eral district judges.
The Chief Justice expressed ap'
proval of legislation pending before
the committee which would authorize
creation of 18 judges, two to be as
signed as judges in each Of the nine
circuits. These judges, he said, should
be able to make a great hole in over
loaded dockets."
With a comment that, "after all.
judges are human" the Chief Justice
said there was need for annual super.
vision of their court activities. Legis-
lation before the committee which the
Chief Justice approves would provide
for the annual meeting of the nine
senior Federal Circuit judges with the
Chief Justice and Attorney General,
at which reports would be made as
to the state of court business in each
circuit Such legislation, Mr.. Taft
said, would provide for reasonable
supervision of Federal courts"
Attorney General Daugherty, de-
claring the country probably has
neglected the Federal judiciary more
than any other branch of the Gov
ernment," said he was convinced the
plan for creation of 18 additional Fed
eral district judges was "the most
economic, practical and immediate
that Congress could accept" Eventu-
ally, he said. 80 additional judgeships
should be created, although as a tenn
porary relief measure 18 would suffice.
Commenting on prohibition law VIC.
lations and the part they have played
in increasing Federal court business,
the Attorney General said he did not
agree that the prohibition law had
contributed to the congestion of Fed
eral court dockets to the extent "the
public has been led to believe"

Four Men In Bandit Gan9-Oriver
Forced To Leave Wagon While
Robbers Carried OFF The

Detroit, Mich. - Twenty-six mail
pouches, three Of which contained
registered mail, were taken from a
mail wagon by four men who held up
the driver, William R. McCauley, near
the main postoffice. The mail was
being brought here from Windsor. On

tanned packages of currency consigned
by Canadian banks as exchange clear
ings to banks in Detroit, and the days
receipts at the Kenilworth race track,
at Windsor.
Postoffice officials, engaged in check
ing their records with Canadian Off
cials, said the value of the registered
mail probably would amount to more
than 100000.
McCauley had just driven off the
Detroit-Windsor ferry and turned into
Jefferson avenue when an automobile
pulled in ahead Of him and four men
commanded him to leave his wagon.
One of the bandits took the driver to

the mail was being transferred to the
automobile. Then, forcing McCauley
to face the wall of a building and
threatening to shoot if he moved be-
fore they were out Of sight, the quar-
tette drove away.
McCauley is a Canadian Govern.
ment messenger. He makes four trips
daily between Windsor and Detroit,
and the holdup occurred as he was
about to complete his last trip.
The bandits had little difficulty in
obtaining the pouches, the cage
wagon, an old-fashioned horse-drawn
vehicle, being unlocked. Owing to bad
weather and the late hour tho street
through which McCauley was driving
was virtually deserted, and the police
had found no one an hour later who
witnessed the holdup or could add to
McCauley's description Of the bandits.

Atlantic City, N. J.-Prices and

both industry and service have suf-

There is need of a better under.
