DECLARE u. S. COURTS
IN NEED OF JUDGES
Jurists, in Conference, Recommend
Additional Appointments to Re.
lieve Congested Dockets.

Business conditions in the Federal
courts throughout the country require
the creation of additional judgeships
in the opinion of Federal circuit
judges, who have been in conference
in Washington for three DAYS with
Chief Justice Taft.
After a careful review of the dock
cts in each of the district courts, it
was the decision of the conference
today that the congestion in the Fed
eral courts could only be relieved by
additional judges. The conference
found that in the large cities and in
other districts where conditions lead
to many violations of the Volstead
act congestion in the criminal busi-
ness has increased notwithstanding
the recent increase in the number of
district judges.
The conference also found that the
enlarged volume in civil business
could not be adequately handled by
the present judicial force. The con-
ference declared that the present vol
ume of business of all kinds was more
than sufficient to demand the atten-
ton of all Federal judves now avail
able.
In order to relieve the present con-
gestion. the Federal judges reneW ed
their recommendation made to Con-
gTeSS d year ago TOT tne creation OF
two new circuit judgeships to be as
signed to the eighth circuit. embrac-
ing the States of Minnesota, Iowa
Missouri. Arkansas, Nebraska, Colo
rado. Kansas, North and South Da-
kota, Oklahoma, Wyominf, Utah and
New Mexico, and for three district
judges to be assigned, two to south
ern New York and one to Georgia.
Not only are all these judges nec-
essary. the conference reported but
the increase in the volume of business
now makes it necessary to have in ad-
dition another district judge for west
ern New York and one for Maryla nd
The conference considered recon-
mendations for the amendment OF
the bankruptcy rules. and approved
with some notifications and exeep-
tions the suggestions made at the
meeting in Baltimore last Spring of
Federal judges, with various credi-
tors associations and the American
Bar Association committee
The conference will submit to the
judiciary committees of the two
houses of Congress an amendme mt
to the bankruptcy act by which the
distinction between petitions to re-
wise" and appeals" would be re-
moved, and all such proceedings
would be embraced in appeals" only
This, the conference decided, would
materially contribute to expeditin g
bankruptcy business.

Of that body. shows that the work
Of putting the experts report into
execution is not maintaining the
speed and punctuality with which it
started.
The London conference decided that
the experts plan would be considered
by the Reparation Commission as
having been put into execution if the
commission could announce the full
fillment of certain conditions by Sep
tember !, and certain others by Octo-
ber s. The commission was duly
enabled to make the first announce
ment on time.
The agent general, however, now
reports that, although he considers
every effort has been made to fuiflll
the latter measures he thinks that
further time should be allowed Ger
many and the Reparation Commits
sion. Accordingly, it was decided to
extend the period from October un
til seven days later.
Terms Are Recalled
calling that under the London agree
ment the reparations commission
should by October be in position
to announce five things: First,
that necessary laws had been voted
and promulgated; second, that the
executive and controlling bodies
provided under the Dawes plan had
been installed; third. that the new
German bank and railroad control

certificates representing the railway
bonds and industrial debentures had
been deposited with the trustees, and.
fifth that the contracts had been con-
cluded. assuring subscriptions of the
500, 900. 900 gold mark loan.
After recalling that the London
protocol gave the reparation commits
sion power to advance or retard these
dates. Mr. Young's report continued:
Tried TO Meet Requirements.
The agent general herewith re-
ports for the information of the COM
mission that in his Judgment every
effort has been made to carry out the
measures above prescribed so as to
enable the commission TO make this
announcement.
although the legal examination
necessary to enable the report to be
made both to the commission and
to those negotiating the loan, has re-
quired more time than originally con-
templated, great progress has been
made in all respects toward com
pleting arrangements for the loan
Mr.. Young's report then asked for
an extension of not less than seven
days. or to October 13, for the COM
mission TO announce the fulfillment of
these conditions. The report con-
cluded by saying that this postpone
ment would mean. so far as the agent
generals duties We're concerned, an
