Proceedings before judge Thomas R. Lea, presiding in the newly cre- ated Jefferson county court of claims, are temporarily at standstill, pend ing the hearing of an injunction filed by J. F. Hodes, through his attorney. Horace c. Wilkinson. The hearing is set for September 21.

 The new court, of which there are two divisions, increases the Jurisdic- tion of the municipal court, allowing it to handle and dispose of civil cases in which sums of less than $500 are involved. Heretofore, the court has had jurisdiction on cases involving less than S100.
