"THEN all control lines running

"All gas cells will be inflated to
various proportions and tested for
their ability to retain gas. This will
be done by measuring the purity of
each cell and of all cells combined"
Still in the dock, the ship will be
allowed to ride statically-that is,

FEDERAL COURT
SYSTEM LAUDED
BY COMMISSION
Bargaining Speeds Up
Work, Finding in Wick
erSham Report.
BY JULIUS FRANDSEN
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Increas-
ing use of the federal district courts
"for the kind Of offenses ordinarily
designated as police court offenses'
was reported today by the Wicker
sham commission.
The commission transmitted tc
President Hoover a minute study OF
the federal court for Connecticut
for three years ended June 80, 1880
1t found that by the end Of that
period minor prohibition cases had
increased so greatly that they con-
stituted 81 per cent of the criminal
docket there.
Despite the growing number OF
cases the court was found to be
handling them expeditiously and
with "a complete absence of pro-
cedural delays and difficulties which
commonly are thought to be in
herent in and peculiar to the Sys-
tenn"
Jury Trials Fewer
Great numbers of weak cases are
dropped by the federal enforcement
agencies and prosecutors. Bar
gaining" with defendants to plead
guilty also speeds up the courts
work, the commission said.
AS result there were 682 convic-
lions in the TAO criminal cases in
the three years. Ninety-two per
cent of them were on pleas of
guilty. In 585 prohibition cases,
there were SGT convictions. Sixty
five per cent Of the prohibition
cases were disposed of on the day
the information or indictment was
filed. Eighty per cent of them were
disposed of by fines.
In all the TAO cases there were
only nine jury trials. 1.-THE falling
of the jury into almost complete
desuetude is most shrinking" the
commission said. Eight of the trials
were in prohibition cases and three
of them brought convictions.
Ask Additional Funds
Evidence Of the bargaining sys-
tenn between prosecution and de-
PENDANTS was found in the fact that
IS per cent of those who pleaded
guilty when arraigned before tbs
United States commissioner changed
their pleas to guilty in court. Such
a pretrial agreement between the
government and Al Capone was de-
nounced by Federal Judge Wilker-
son in Chicago last week.
The Connecticut data was con-
tanned in a progress report" on the
commission study of federal courts
in thirteen representative districts
of the country. No data has yet
been tahulated for the other dis
tricts.
Chairman Wickersham in trans
hitting the report to President
Hoover said $4,000 was needed to
complete the survey. The commits
sion's federal appropriations ex-
pired July 1.
The survey of the courts is to be
completed by the American law in
stitute, to which the Rockefeller
foundation has contributed $685.
600. An equal amount must be Sc
cured from other sources" Wick
ersham said. He added the COM
mission found it "inexpedient" to
ask congress for this money.

ABANDONMENT OF OLD
RAILROAD SCHEDULED
Delaware & Hudson Bows to Truck
Competition.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-One Of
the country's oldest railroad lines is
to be abandoned, a victim Of motor
truck competition.
The interstate commerce commits
sion today authorized the Delaware
& Hudson Railroad Corporation to
abandon twenty-four miles Of It's
Honesdale branch in LackaWanna
and Wayne counties, Pennsylvania.
To transport coal from the mines
at Carbonate on the Hoosic noun
tain to Honesdale, a narrow gauge
gravity railroad was completed in
1929. Stationary steam engines
furnished the necessary power on
the upgradeS.
Passenger service on the branch,
which has kept pace with modern
developments, was discontinued In
1928, and the D. & H. finally ap-
piled for authorization to abandon
the branch except for four mile
stretch through an anthracite area.
