BAR HEAD URGES
3 MORE JUDGES
Adkins and Let's Also Are
Heard by House Judiciary
Subcommittee.

Three additional judges for the Dis
trict courts are greatly needed. Bolitha
j. Laws. president of the District Bar
Association. told the Citron subcom-
mittee of the House Judiciary Com
mittee today, calling attention espe-
cially to the fact that while criminal
cases are kept fairly current. civil
cases are hopelessly in arrears and the
situation is growing worse.
At the close of 1887, there were 6,145
cases pending. and at present no case
can be reached for at least 16 months,
he said.
Justices Jesse c. Adkins and F. Dick
inson Let's and Col Charles E.
Stewart, clerk of the court, testified
that three additional judges are ur-
gently needed.
In reply to questions from Chairman
Citron and other members of the SUBJ
committee, Alexander Holtzoff special
assistant to the Attorney General, said
that 1.-The crying need for administra-
ton of justice in the District ofsCo-
lum is more judges"
1t was stated by all of the witnesses
and Col. Stewart made statement
to the same effect for Chief Justice
Wheat-that an administrative officer,
| as recommended by the Attorney Gen.
eral, would be excellent for the entire
judicial system of the country, but
would be of little value in the District.
| where the money could better be used
| toward the salary of an additional
| judge.
Justice Adkins emphasized the need
for two judges for investigation and
pre-trial work under the new Supreme
Court rules, three judges for the Grim
inal Court, three for Equity and four
for civil circuit work
Justice Let's explained how the Dis
trlct Court calendar was crowded with
cases which were not strictly local,
but came for adjudication in the Dis
trlct Court because all the Govern
ment records are here. The chief JUS
| tice, he said, has had to devote most
of his time to condemnation cases.
Patent appeal cases are increasing in
number, with from 220 to $50 con-
stantly pending. Justice Let's him.

For Our Children

We think so much these days about
the physical well being of our chill
dren-how they shall be fed, clothed.
immunized from diseases, etc.-but
do we think as much of their charac-
ter as well as being far more import
ant.
For character is a priceless possess
sion that the poorest may have and
the richest cannot buy. It's founda-
tons are not made with hands be-
cause it is built upon honesty, purity,
goodness and love of God and our
fellow man. 1t is something we do not
bring into the world with us, but de-
velop through life with Gods help,
leave its influence when we are no
longer here, and take with us into the
Great Beyond.
So let US avail ourselves of the
wonderful opportunity of the long
summer days of vacation to get close
to our children. Take them out where
it is quiet end watch in silence a sun
set with its swift changing colors, or
go on a picnic where they may wade
i'll a stream, and perhaps if they are
very lucky they may catch really"
fish. There are so many ways to be-
come acquainted with Mother Nature
and her children, and to build some
thing lovely into the lives of our
children.

Baldwin Preps Beaten Peter and Paul, Chestnut
 Hills Win

The Gents of the Hill won the right to meet the Raymond Hillies in playoff for title to the first round of the Washington Park Com munity house basketball league by setting back the Baldwin Props, 42- 34 in a replay of a previous tie game last night.
 Having won six games and lost one game each, the Gents and Rey- mond Hillies are in deadlock for the title. The board of directors will meet Wednesday night to de- eide the playoff- ff-date.
 Plenty of Hoops
 All scoring by the Props was by Romeo, Ricutti and Bartolini, while almost every one of the Gents squad took part in the victory drive. Romeo scored 25 points alone, set ting new record for an individual on the curtained court. Bob Grady of the Gents had previously scored 24 points.
 Most of the Props scoring was completed in the second half, as may be evidenced by noting that the score at half time was 33-9, in favor of the Gents, who showed a whirlwind passing and shooting at- tack.
 In the preliminaries the Sts. Pe- ter and Paul five defeated the Shamrocks of the midget league and the Watertown Chestnut Hills set back the All Stars.

Beattie Believes
 Title Chance
 Not Far Ahead

New Haven, Feb. : - Babe Beat tie, believes that he'll get crack at the worlds heavyweight title with in a year. And here is how the young Montreal Irishman figures it out. He'll fight Georgie Fitch, the most promising heavyweight to bounce up out of the Connecticut amateurs in years, in a return bout on Thursday night at the New Ha- ven Arena.
 Beattie knocked out Fitch in two rounds three weeks ago. He says he'll do it again on Thursday. If he wins, he's already signed for a bout with Al Gainer, the number one contender for the worlds light heavyweight crown.
 Beattie says that he should be fighting Gainer instead of Fitch on Thursday but that it really doesn't matter. He can knock out either of them. And to prove it, he points at his record which includes a KO over Buck Tracy and a win over Jim Howell.
 Big Order
 If he can KO Gainer, Connecticut fans will insist on a Beattie-Mann bout, and by that time, Beattie be- lieveS that Nathan Mann will be the heavyweight champion.
 It's all very simple, this short cut to the most coveted spot in the box ing realm; but Georgie Fitch in- tends to upset Beattie's plans.
 T should have taken a nine count" Georgie says, referring to his defeat by Beattie. Tt won't hap pen again. I'm goin' to give Beattie a dose of his own medicine"
 Jack Dempsey is coming to New Haven to referee the bout and Matchmaker Al Caroly has lined up four other bouts which will show the classiest fighters in the state. Johnny Lasinski, popular Meriden mauler, meets Gaspar LaRosa, the New York whirlwind who nearly stopped Kid Cocoa year ago. Julie Kogan meets class with capitol c in young Joe DeJessus, latest Ha- van sensation. Tony Costa, former amateur idol from Rhode Island takes on Snooks Lacey, sharpshoot- ing New Haven dusky, in another six. Freddie PeaSe, Willimantic's state welterweight champion, will be in for four rough rounds with Frankine Young of New Haven, in the opener.
