diction of the COURT.

statement of the business disposed of
III the term running to June, 1926,
there were left on the docket undis-
posed of 451 cases, and that in the
term which closed Monday the ar
rears had been reduced to 295. In
other words, we seem to have gained
l5G cases in the reduction Of our
arrears.
at is true that last year the total
number of cases on the docket was
1909, ana the cases disposed of were
S5S, While this year the number of
cases on the docket was only 1888.
and the number of cases disposed of
was SS8. But l think we may say
that of the cases disposed of in the
l925 term there were a number that
seemed to swell the total that were
really so similar in character and so
disposed of by one decision that the
cases. which we had last year were
not very many more than those which
we have this year, and / am hoping
that this reduction of $50 cases in

Chief Justice Taft, before leaving
for his Summer home at Murray Bay
Canada, today issued a statement cor
recting what he considered "a very
great error" in the mind of the public
and of the bar concerning the discre
tionary jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court in granting reviews.
The assumption that the considera
ton of such cases by the court Is ar.
bitrary' and without examination is
not based upon accurate information. u
he declared. The examination OF
briefs, petitions and records of the so.
called certiorari jurisdiction, he said
is not "a mere superficial glance. but
Il real analysis of each case"
Each Case Considered.
Each case is called by him in con.
ference and a resume is made of the
result of the examination of the
briefs and record by each member of
the bench. Then following discus.
sion vote is taken and if four i,Is.
tees signify the case to come for con.
sideration before the bench the certio.
rari writ is granted.
THE truth is that the burden of
work carried by the justices of this
court has been greatly increased bv
this so-called certiorari jurisdiction, -
he explained. This year. of the 1,1S3
cases on the docket of the court, at
least half were applications for Ger.

The Chief Justice reviewed the
work of the court yesterday and ex.
pressed confidence that IL the prog

ASHES IN TOWN INDICATE
ERUPTION OF VOLCANO
Tests Show Pumice Dust Similar to
That Which Spread Over
Alaska in 1919.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
JUNEAU, Alaska, June S.-What
was thought to be evidence of a. vol
canic eruption somewhere in Alaska
was found in Juneau yesterday.
Pumice dust lay on the streets and
on highways near the city. Adjacent
towns also reported presence OF the
particles, which were perceptible, but
not of measurable depth.
When subjected to laboratory test
the dust gave off sulphur fumes,
which characterized the ash that
spread over Alaska during the erup-
ton of Mout Katmai on June 6, 1912.
The nearest volcano is more than
700 miles away, on the Alaska PENN
sula. to the northwest. No reports of
an eruption anywhere in Alaska had
been received in Juneau late yester-
day.
Mount Katmai, in the Valley Of
Ten Thousand Smokes, about 700
miles west of juneau, was believed
to be dead until its violent eruption

was in darkness 60 hours and a foot
of ash covered the town. Traces of
the ash were seen throughout Alaska.
Activity of the volcano also was re-
ported during 1914.
