5000 CASES ON
FEDERAL. DOCKET

ATLANTA, May 13-Three thous-
and cases are on the docket of the
United States district court here
awaiting trial, it is shown by Cliff
w. Hager, the district attorney, i'll j
letter to Acknowledgement Dauga3rtS
as evidence of the necessity for al
additional judge in Georgia.
Mr.. Hager shows that the business
of the court in this district has in
creased probably as much as 2OC
per cent in the past five years, anc
that virtually no provision has beer
made for handling this increased
volume of work There is still one
judge, still one district attorney, anc
the marshal has added only three
deruty marshals to his staff in this
length of time.

NO EXTRA JUDGE
FORSTATELIKELY
Agreement Reported Reached In
Senate, Despite Congestion
Of Docket

WASHINGTON, May 13.-ThC
appointment of successor to the
late Federal Judge Beverly d. Evans
will be considered by President Hard
ing on his return to Washington from
a weekend outing Monday, it is an
nouneed at the White House.
The intimation was given that the
president would very likely have a
difficult task in selecting one of the
three Georgians who appear to have
the strongest backing. The three
are Charles Akerman, of Macon; &.
H. Williams, of Dublin, and Judge
Boatright, of Cordele. 1t is under
stood that J. L. Phillips, the presl-
dents referee in Georgia, has de-
clared that of the three he had no
choice
Interest in the appointment is ac-
centuated because of the leak" from
the conference considering the So
called Judges bill'' to the effect that
the provision authorizing the APP
pointment of an additional judge In
Georgia would be stricken. There
seems to be no doubt but that such
adverse action will be taken. AS
result, the president will be called
upon to appoint only one instead OF
two judges in Georgia, and thus IS
eliminated the prospect of one of the
losers in the race for the Evans va
cancy being cared for in the appoint
ment to the extra judgeship.
Mr.. Alderman has a powerful ally
in the person of Senator George IL.
Moses, of New Hampshire, one of
the presidents favorites in the SEN
ate. Senator Moses has recommend
ed Alderman to the president In the
highest terms, and by the recommen-
dation, the president was said to
have been obviously impressed. By
permission, Senator Moses quoted
Senator w. j. Harris, of Georgia, to
the president as having declared Mr..
Alderman to be of the highest stand
ing and attainment, both as a man
and as lawyer, and that in the event
of his appointment, the Georgia
senator would vote for his confirm
alton with pleasure.

the states most solidly opposed to
anti-lynching laws and even to anti
lynching education. Why should the
rest of the country leave those states
"alone?" Civilization in the rest or
the country is being victimized by
this crime. The victimized part of
the community could as reasonably
be asked to let highway robbers alone
in the prospect that their own con-
sciences and the good members OF
their families will ultimately (cer-
tainly, ultimately reform them.
That there is no occasion or "rea-
son" for such national legislation; as
if 1000 lynched men and women
were not just 3,999 superfluous rea-
sons for law against it.
But what reason can you offer to
prejudices against itself? And sup
pose we had to get the consent OF
every bootlegger before the rest of
the community could agree upon leg
islation affecting his profession, or
the consent of every 'second-story
man" before the rest OF us could
agree on laws against burglary.

knowing that this is their best card,
the mob plays it as often as possible.
That it will make white women un-
safe; as if white women were to be
protected by the criminals rather
than by the laws and courts of these
United States. AS if white woman
at the present time in the midst OF
black men in the state of Georgia,
were not ten times safer even from
insult, than a black woman in the
same state in the midst of white
men is from extreme violence. AS
if civilized communities, like the Bri-
tish West Indies where the blacks
greatly outnumber the whites, ever
had to resort to lynching to protect
the white women or to protect any
thing else. AS if it were not true
that much smaller percentage of
rape is committed by black men than
by white men.
That is will cause more lynching;
as if human nature were so upside
down and so inside-out in Mississippi
and Georgia that the lyncher will be
more apt to commit his crime if you
! give him chance to get into the
penitentiary, than he is now with
his present chance to get into the
hero column of the newspapers. We
will not believe that until it is DEM

WHY 1 WISH 1 COULD JOIN THE
AMERICAN LEGION
BY. DR.. Frank Crane

One of the very best things that
comes from war is comradeship.
1t is impossible to prevent this
comradeship even If we wanted to,
Ex-soldiers are held together by the
strongest ties of fellowship.
That is the reason why, if l were
an ex-soldier, 1 would join The Amer
ican Legion.
In other words, The American Le'
gion is inevitable.
1t is every citizens duty to use ex
listing agencies and inevitable forces.
If he does not use them, other men
will.
The best way to make The Ameri-
can Legion a force for good is for
all good men to join it, and direct its
energies in wholesome ways.
The American Legion ought TO be
tremendous power for good, for
intelligent patriotism, and for sound
government.
1t is so now. The way to keep it
so is for every man who is qualified
to enlist his membership and help
along.

UptOWnS TakeCame
From North St. Paul
Uptown Team Outclasses North
st. Paul and Wins Battle
BY Is to 8 Score.

Playing a brand of baseball seldom
seen in amateur ranks, the Uptowns
completely outclassed the North St
Paul nine on last Sunday and "brot
home the bacon" with the big end OF
Is to 8 melee. The Uptowns were
beat by the Northsiders in a previous
game and on last Sunday they jour-
neyed to the battle-ground of the enc
my with blood in their eyes and de-
termination to get revenge.
Coleman started the fight for the
Sanitary System boys with hot liner
to short, but his hopes for the first
safe hit were nipped when he was
thrown out on first. Ware singled
to short and was advanced one sta
ton by Vests burning liner to right.
Mosely made a neat sacrifice hit that
meant a run; Ware making the first
tally. Du Love, the slugging center
fielder started his day with a
single to left field, scoring West. Ru-
dolph whitfield, thus ending the first
inning for the Uptowns with two
markers across the plate TO their
credit.
Roach, twirling for the Uptowns,
had the Mortimer eating out of HIS
hand, allowing them only four runs
during the first six innings. In the
lucky seventh" for the Mortimer,
Roach slackened his speed-ball de-
livery and the enemy garnished four
runs before the curtain went down
on that inning. This mattered very
little because the lead that had been
built up by the Uptowns, plus the
perfect support that Roach was get
ting, had practically decided the
game.
The high-spots in the game for the
locals was the hitting of Dennis
Ware, who connected with three sim
giles and a circuit clout in six times
at bat. Mosely, the big first base
man, made two singles and a three
bagger in five trips to the plate.
Frank Ware and Harry Davis made
five and three hits respectively.
A very large following of fans wit
messed the work of the locals and
have promised to be with them Sun
day, July 80, when they pitch battle
with the strong Lindstrom team at
Lindstrom, Minnesota. Two busses
have been chartered for the team
and it's followers who wish to make
the trip. Buses will leave Rice Park
Fourth and Washington Streets, at
IL o'clock Sunday morning. Make
your reservations at the Bulletin Of
fee or the Uptown Sanitary Shop,
339 Wabasha street. Several lakes
will be visited on the trip; including
White Bear and Forest Lake, so don't

Golf Players
 Are Pleased

Many ''ant hiIl' players were pleas ed with the action taken by the Park Commissioners and the Board of Rec reation when they stationed a. police man on the BeardsIey park links yes terday to keep everyone out players off the course.
 The Beardsley Park Golf links have become so popular that on Sun days hundreds of children may be found roaming over the links watch ing the play. While the children are entitled to the Park grounds as much as the grown ups they are con- stantIy in the way of the players and are .endangering themselves when trespassing on the links.
 The policeman who patroled the links yesterday is to be commended for his patience, since he would clear one part of the course, do like wise in another, only to return to the place that he had previously cleared and find a crowd of chil- dren.

Calhoun Has No Word of
 Meeting

"I have not heard officially or un- officially, directly or indirectly from the aldermanic committee" was the statement of President of the Board of Police Commissioners Philo c. Calhoun when asked this morning if he had heard from the committee re- gently appointed at a caucus of the Board of Aldermen to take up with the board the matter of transferring g police from enforcing the prohibition law to street duty.
 Alderman Daniel J. Kenney, chair man of the committee appointed at the meeting when asked if he still in tended to carry out his original pro gram, stated that he did and that they would try to see the Board of Police Com mmisSioners at their meeting to- night.
 A spirited debate is likely to ensue if the committee meets the commits sioners. It is very probable that the Board of Police Commissioners will hear them.
 The committee was recently ap- pointed at a caucus previous to the meeting of the Common Council when it was stated that policemen were being stationed in saloons on a regular platoon system to watch for violators of the Connecticut state liquor laws and consists of Alderman Kenney of the First; Alderman Brown of the Twelfth and Alderman Costello of the Eleventh.

State Has But
 Three Days To
 Complete Case

Char1estown. West Va, May 15- With only three days remaining for the State. to complete it's case against "BilP' Blizzard on trial here for trea- son, it was indicated today that .tb T most important of the eviG / cred to be used against the yo,enful labor leader, had been reserved for the last.
 The prosecution began this morn ing to bring out proof that the march of 12,000 union miners across three counties in southern West Virginia last summer was not a spontaneous uprising, but a carefully planned war to overthrow the sovereignty of the commonwealth.
 It is up to the State to bring out proof to sustain the treason indict- ment which was upheld tentatively by Judge M. Woods three weeks ago only on the theory that the reasonable conspiracy would be shown during the trial. So far the State has pro duced proofs only of the alleged overt acts committed in furtherance of the alleged insurrection.
 Interest in the prosecution's final drive to convict "BilI' Blizzard was heightened today by the arrival at Barpers Ferry of Don Chain, sheriff of Logan County, and known as the college gunman" by the warning miners on trial here,

Premier Hopes
 America Will
 Sit At Hague
A n o t h er Meeting of Powers June IS at The Hague Is Sought by Lloyd George = Child Given Copy of Pro- posals.

Genoa. May 15-(By the A. P. The political sub-commission of the Economic conference today unani- mous1y approved of the agreement reached yesterday among the conven- ing powers to hold another meeting t The Hague beginning June IS to further examine the Russian question.
 The plan provides for creation of two commissions to assemble at the Hague to consider Russian financial problems.
 The plan, as approved, also pro- vides that an invitation to participate be extended to the United States.
 A copy was forwarded to the Rus sians, who called a meeting of their delegation this afternoon to consider it.
 Prime Minister Lloyd George an nounced this afternoon that he had handed to Richard Washburn Child, the American ambassador, a copy of the proposal for the commission to sit at the Hague to discuss Russian affairs He said this had been done so that the United States would be fully advised in case Russia accepts.
 MT. Lloyd George expressed the hope that the United States would see fit to join the mixed commission.
 Until they had an opportunity to study the proposal in detail, officials would make no comment regarding it. The general impression given by them was that the question probably would be discussed at tomorrow's s cabinet meeting and that some ac- tion might follow,

Birth Rate
 On Increase

According to Dr. William H. Coon, health officer, there has been a material increase in the birth rate of the city for 1921, over the year 1906. The average number of children born for each thousand population remains stble. From 1906 (exc1uding the years 1914 to 1919 inclusive) the aver age rate was 27.8 births for every thousand population. The actual fig ures for 1921 show that 28.2 children were born to every thousand popula- ton.
 The tenth voting district has the highest birth rate with 35 births to every 1000 population. The first dis trict has 15 per thousand. This sec- tion is the business section which &C., counts for the small number of births.
 Before the infant mortality cam paign was waged by the Health de- partment the death rate among new born children was very high. The highest was in the tenth district where 123 new born children died to every 1000 people. By the campaign this figure was changed to 71.5 deaths per 1000 population in 1921.
 During 1921 there were 4,045 white children born in the city and II col ored. Of this number 1,774 had native mothers while 2,342 had mothers of foreign birth and 2151 were male and 1865 female.

Fr. Dahme Sails For Old Home
 In Germany

Rev. Hubert Dahme, pastor of St. Joseph's church, and one of the most prominent clergymen of this city, will sail tomorrow noon on the "Maure- tania" of the Cunard line for Europe where he will spend three months. He will make brief stays in the large cities in France, Belgium and Switzer- land but will spend the greater part of his time visiting the scenes of his boyhood days in Germany and his native town AiX-La-Chapelle- He will witness the Passion Play at Oberham- ergau. Father Dahme stated today that he was not sure whether or not he would visit Rome.
 The delightful vacation which Father Dah1ne has planned has been doubtIessly well earned as for many years, he has been the only priest sta toned at St. Joseph's parish, one of the most imp portant in the city and has accomplished much praiseworthy work. He is extremely popular not only among his own parishioners but among the residents of the city in general, and his wide circle of friends extend to him their wishes for a pleasant trip.
 During the absence of the pastor. Rev. August Enhance will be in charge of the church.
