HART'S OFFICE
SETS RECORD
FOR DAY
Assistant U. S. Attorney Is
Anxious to Clear Docket;
rs Cases Remain for Trial

With settlement of nearly so
cases through pleas of guilty the
office of Assistant United States
Attorney David A. Hart, in charge
Of liquor prosecutions, today
made the longest stride toward
relieving the congestion in the
local courts which has been made
during the past 18 months.
Seventeen persons were in Jail
etoday awaiting jury trial on
liquor charges. ranging from
simple possession to sale of
liquor. All of these cases were
disposed of through pleas of
guilty. In some cases which in
volved more than one person, a
single person pleaded guilty, re-
sulting in the dropping of
charges against the others.
25 Cases Remaining
Mr.. Hart said that he had 81
jury cases pending on the regular
jury list today. Of these, AZ were
disposed of through guilty pleas.
The other 10 cases will be tried in
the usual manner.
There are Is other cases pend
ing jury trial. It is expected that
some Of these cases will be settled
through pleas of guilty.
Mr.. Hart said that the number
Of cases on his list at the begin
ming of the day today was the
largest in year and a half. The
disposal of At cases today is also
a record for the speedy handling
of cases. he said. Mr.. Hart said
that by the end of the week he
hopes to have the docket clear of
, all cases now pending.
OF course, new arrests will
bring up other cases. but disposal
Of those now pending will practi-
cally eliminate any congestion of
the courts with prohibition cases.
Police Work Improves
Mr.. Hart said that the large
number of cases handled in the
past few days is attributable to
increased activity on the part of
the police and the fact that
raids are more carefully planned,
4thus eliminating the many cases
which formerly had to be
dropped because of insufficient
evidence.

 Fur and fish have been i'll the dumps the last two years, he said, but the past winter saw drop in furs unheard of in years; the fur catch out there was 70 per cent less than normal, MT. Evans states. But there is a cheerful note sounded by the sturdy, up right, young-looking oldtimer, ln that the fishing outlook for the season looks favorable. If a good season is experienced everyone should pull out of the "hole o. K"
