nal cases. according to Corporation
Counsel Francis II. stephens Great
est delay is found in the District
supreme Court, where the calend ar
is filled for a year in advance.
In 1855 tho courts were SIX
months behind in civil cases re-
quirimg. jury trial. Stephens says.
In 1898 Congress established a sep
drate District Court of Appeals with
three judges. Since then there have
been no additional judges added to
the District Court of Appeals, the
District Supreme Court. or the po-
lice courts.
Juvenile Court was added In
1906, ana last year the Municiyal
Court was remodeled so as to hal
die all civil cases up to $1,000. The
principal points of oNCrcrowding are
Ia the criminal calendar of the Dis
triCt supreme Court and in the Dis
trict Court OF Appeals.
stephens recommends two more
judges for the District Surreme
Court. to assist in criminal prose-
cution. and two to thu Court of
Appeals. The Police Court has tw .
judges. the Municipal Court 1--WE.
and the Juvenile Court has one.
The Increase in cases. according
to stephens. is a result of the in
crease in population and the pas
sage of such laws az the Volstcad
act. The Supreme Court at present
is able to try only tie more se-i-
Gus criminal cases and persons in
Jail unable to give bonds.

Democratic Senators. in the midst

they would resort to every parlia-
