 is no reflection upon the former Judges. but Is due to the flexibility of the consolidated court and some changes in the method of preced- ure.
 While the criminal docket Is ap- parently more crowded this Is ap- parent rather than real There are only two judges of this division and their work included ali cases from capital to misdemeanors and all ap- pealed cases from recorders court and from Jefferson county court of misdemeanors. There are only 26 prisoners in the county jail awaiting trial in the criminal division of the circuit court; while all of the cases lad an oportunity of trial during the last term and their failure to get a trial was not due to any ne- glect or actions of the court.
 While there are more than 2,5O0 cases nominally on the criminal docket about one-half of these are city appeal cases and very large number of such cases were passed under agreements for settlements by the city. Of the state cases very large number are against defendants who have forfeited their bonds ana cannot be tried until they are re- arrested. These cases must be held on the docket as pending and un- disposed of until final Judgment of forfeiture is rendered or the defend ants are rearrested and brought back for trial. Other cases are against defendants already convicted and serving sentences In other cases being held against them for trial when their terms expire.
 "FroTu a pnraftI nnoivafm tHte docket based on information from the Judges and clerks in this di- vision l fel safe in saying that the number of cases which can be tried are about 50 per cent of the number appearing nominally on the docket l venture the assertion that due to the efficient work of the judges of the criminal division never within 20 years has summer vacation found so small q number of prisoners in jail awaiting trial; and before the consolidated court think 1t will be shown that pending cases were never reduced below 5000 except during year or so of the war period when they were naturallyt diminished While there has been an increase in the number of pending cases in the criminal division yet this increase has not been in the state cases but due to the appeal from the recorders s court and inferior courts and 1t will be shown that the judges In this di- vision have disposed of practically $50 cases each during the 25 wee.ss of the term.
 of course there Is no system by which all lost motion will be elimi- mated, delays overcome, but in my opinion, as presiding judge. I have found the fullest cooperation of all the judges and desire to aid as far as possible in the dispatch of busi- ness and I feel that this analysis Is due the public and that when known will correct a good deal of misinfor- nation that seems to be current"

ONLY HARDING,s SIGNATURE
 IS NECESSARY FOR BILL

By Associated Press
 Washington, June z7.-President Harding's signature was all that was required tonight for authorizing the appropriation of s7.50o.ooo for work on the Muscle Shoals dam at Muscle Shoals. Ala. The army bill contained authority of Congress to spend the money on that project, effective Oc- tober 1, next, was passed today by the Senate without 6 change in the language already approved by the House and by conferees of the two legislative bodies.
 During final Senate consideration, however. the measure at certain stages was threatened with being sent back to the House for further conference, Senator Norris, of Ne braska. chairman of the agricultural committee moving that the Senate iisagre with the Hoase provision delaying expenditure of the money until October. He was finally over ruled by the Senate on vote of zs to 32.
 Norris Leads Attack
 The Nebraska senator led the at- tack on the House amendment and was Joined by Senator Wadsworth. of New York, chairman of the military committee in charge of the bill and by Senator Underwood. of Alabama, the democratic leader, in declaring the House action "unfortunate." The latter two senators. however, dif- fered with Senator Norris on his mo- ton to disagree. declaring that if 1t prevailed the bill would be returned would probably be jeapordized In that procedure.
 Others, including Senators Heflin. democrat, Alabama, and Smith, dem- ocrat, South Carolina. supported Senator Underwood in requesting concurrence in the House amend fnent in order to make the approprid. ton certain. Senator Underwood re- called past occurrences where differ once between the Senate and House had resulted disastrously to Muscle Shoals appropriations and reminded his colleagues that the army btil had to be on the statue books by July and that they had no time to lose in adjusting differences In language, however, unfortunate they might appear to the Senate.
 Committee Meets
 The first executive meeting of the agriculture committee since 1t con- cluded It's examination of proposals from Henry Ford, the Alabama
  and Charles l.. Parsons for develop ing the shoals properties also was held today. Senator Norris was un- derstood to have informed the com mittee that he would submit a repor. to the Senate although he was alone among the 16 members with refer ence to the offers considered.
 The committees discussion, it was learned. indicated there would be at least three reports presented to tho Senate. That to be drafted by Chair man Norris was expected to recom- mend development of the projects along lines of the bill he has intro- duced proposing a government owned and controlled corporation.
 Democratic committeeman. possibly with the aid of ono or two repub- licans, 1t was suggested, would rec ommend that the Senate accept Henry Ford's offer. All other mem bers were reported as undecided as to what their recommendations would be as regards the existing proposals and the determination by Congress of a governmental policy for future op- erations of Muscle Shoals.
