A LETTER FROM THE JUDGES. The chief justice and associate justices of the Supreme Court of the District have ad- dressed the following letter to the judiciary committees of the House and Senate: To the Committee of the Judiciary of the Sen- ate and House of Representatives: ‘The undersigned, the chief justice and asso- ciate justices of the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia, respectfully submit to your committee some considerations with respect to the proposition now before Congress to create additioual associate justices of this court. We are convinced that the speedy enactment of such a law has become an absolute neces- sity. Before the reorganization of the judicial lishment in 1863 the judiciray of the District of Columbia consisted of five judges, three of whom were assigned to the Circuit to the Criminal Court and one to 18 Court. Criminal jurisdiction in minor offenses was also exercised by the mayors of the cities of Washington and George- town and number of magistrates. The population of the District at that time was 16 inhabitants to each judge. resent time, with a population of reare but six justices (two judges of the Police Court having succeeded to the rs of the magistrates in criminal cases, reased jurisdiction), bemg 38,398. in- ts to each justice of this court. - total assessed value of the property within th strict of Columbia in 1860 is esti- led about =45,400,000, which was about 580,000 for each of the tive judges at that The last published assessment of the private property within the District for purposes of taxation shows an aggregate of $153.307,541.

Such an expansion of wealth and population would necessarily imply # corresponding growth in the amount of litigation, and the ucts show even a greater proportionsts crease in the business of the courts. During the sixty years from 1863 to 1864 the entire number of equity suits brought was not (Qrore than 2.500. ‘From 1863 to February 1, is%2. the number brought amounts to 13,690. Within the latter period more than 32,571 civil cases have been brought before the special term holding the Cireuit Court, notwithstand- ing the extension of the jurisdiction of justices of the peace in civil cases beyond 250, which withdrew from that court a large class of cases formerly contributing a considerable part of the business of the old Circuit Court. Since IN63 18,549 cases have been before the Criminal Court, although the Police Court has ve jurisdiction of many minor offenses during the past year, numbered 14,069 48,915.

The increased values of the estates involved inthe business in that court is very marked, as might be expected from the greater prosperity of the people. Besides the great mass of prosecutions in the | Police Court the number of cases disposed of im the Criminal Court of the District of Co- |Jumbia exceeds in amount more than one- fourth of the entire criminal business in all the Suited States courts of the country ‘The jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of this District is more extensive aud varied than that of any court in the country except the Supreme Court of the United States. tis charged with all the powers and juris- diction of the circuit and district courts of the United States and with all criminal jurisdiction ti Court, many of which may come to the Crim- inal Court by appeal).

If the court possessed the adequate force and the legal authority additional circuit and criminal courts could be constantly kept in | session and the calendars be reduced and kept to manageuble dimensions. Noseusible rednetion of the trial calendar in the Cireuit Court is possible without the es- tublishment of a second Circuit Court, and this cannot be done with the present force, except at the sacrifice of some other court. ‘lod vote two justices to the Circuit Court calenda’ as the court is now constituted, would be to leave the General Term with only two justices, dispatch of current business and motions, aud thus no sutticent time is left for the disposal of the litigated causes on the trial calendar. The time of the Criminal Court in like manner is fully taken up with the trial of current cases, time, a large number of cases where the parties are out on bail or in jail. There is not a branch of the court that is not seriously suffering from this congestion of business, and longer delay of measures to re- lieve them would be most iamentable.

The clear amount annually paid into t treasury from this court for several years past amounts to a large sum. In like manner from the Police Court there has been paid into the natronal treasury for the years 1989, 1890 and 1891 the sum of $142,185.71, the amount for the last-named year being 58,270.77. By far the greatest part of these large amounts is directly derived from the citizens of the District. We append to this paper a statement in de- tail of several of the matters referred to herein. In our judgment the addition of three asso- ciate justices to the present force of the court willenable us to afford the much needed re- lief required. We would thus be enabled to duplicate the Cireuit and Criminal Courts and secure s permanent court to sit in appeal in the General Term, which, uninterrupted by being obliged to render alternate service in the special terms, could soon reduce to moderate Himits the mass of business so oppressing it. Similar relief would be afforded to each branch of the service. E. F. Brvonam, C. J. (Signed) A. B. Haoxen. ALTERS. Cox. Cuantes P. James. M. V. Moxtcomeny. A.C. Brapiey. THE WORK OF THE COURT.

Delegates representing 902 of the leading Iumber firms of this country will assemble here pending before the House ways and means committee, the object of the bills being to remove the duty on foreign lumber. The delegates will probably number 100, Jand will represent every section of the country. The convention will meet in the hall of the builders’ exchange, 13th street between Gand H, and wili probably be called to order by Mr. W. BE. Judson. editor of the Northwestern Lumberman of Chicago. at 10 o'clock a.m. The convention was originally called to assemble here on the 284 instant, but as postponed until tomorrow because of the absence of many members of Congrose at that time in Chicago. While it is imposible to state it is thought that its deliberations will not ex- tend over Thursday of this week. During their stay here the Kiggs House will be the official headquarters of the delegates, and most of them will stop at that house. At present there is no organization of American lumbermen na- tional in its character, and it is probable that one of the resylts of this convention will be the formation of such a body, there being a pronounced feeling among the few delegates already In town that the lumber in- terest of the country imperatively need the protection which such an organization would ‘ford. But sueh ideas will not be considered until after the object for which the convention was called lias been disposed of. THE BILLS OBJECTED TO. The two bills which the convention hopes to | defeat are bills introduced in the House by Mr. Stone of Kentucky and Mr. Bryan of Nebraska. Mr. Stone's bill provides for the and description imported into this country after Tune 30, 1892. Mr. Bryan's bill does not goso far, merely’ providing tor the removal of all duty of undressed lumber imported into this coun- try after the ist of October next. ‘The passage of either of these Lills, the delegates contend, would be the ruin of the lumber interests of the entire country, and after the convention hax decided upon the best manner in which to pre- sent their case before Congress that course will be vigorously pursued. At present it is believed that the beat course would be to present their case before the House ways and “means com- <, and iy the arguments of the delegates should be disregarded vy the committee then organize in the House an opposition sutticiently strong to defeat any . And, shouid the House pass either bill, the delegates declare that the fight would ‘then be trans- ferred to the Senate. es Marriage Licenses. « Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to the following: William H.

Howard (Perry, the president of the A.A. U., who has! Just returned from New York, in an interview } (with a Sun correspondent, said that be had | visited New York city for the purpose of ascer- | | taining the exact situation of athletic affairs. | | He found that inany misreprosentations bad | been in newspapers, and, after conversing with | all persons intarested on both sides, he came | to the conclusion that there were no well-Inid | grievances which could not be casily adjusted | | by the present rules and regulations of | the A A. U Mr. Perry said that he had | been appointed by the Columbia Athletic Club ; | as one of the delegates to the United States | League of Athictic Clubs, and associated with | him were Mr. Hibbs and Mr. Grant The com- | mittee has no powers conferred upon it other | than toattend the proposed meeting and re- | port the proceedings back to the club for such | action as might be deemed proper. It appears, however, to be understood that the Columbia Mr. Perry said after a earetul d that there is no ne, nor it feasible. | t, notwithstand- | new league profess to | ich over athletics, still its ulti- | investigation be is convin necessity for the new len pelled ‘There seems to be nothing provided for in the new ieague which cannot satisfactorily be | managed by the present organization The | question of social intercourse between the sev- | eral clubs of the United States, other than the | courtesies now extended toward one another, | he does not believe would be adopted. He does | not think itis right tuat any genuine amateur | club in thecountry should be debarred from competition by reason of its lack of mem bership or property qualifications. If in auy | of the associations there are clubs which do not | come within the provisions of the constiiution | of the U. the several associatious should | see to itthat the membership of such ciubs in the veveral associntions should cease. It is not, of course, believed that the present constita- tion of the A. A. U. is perfect, but there are ample provisions for any amendments, avd sev- eral important ones will be brought belore the board of governors at the special mecting to | be held in New York city 8. Mr. Perry appeared before the board of gov- | ernors of the Columbia Athletic Club Thursday evening and submitted the views of the com mittee appointed by the club to attend the pro: posed meeting of the new league, in which they recommended that the club do not send dele- gates to the meeting and that the committee Appointed be discharged. ‘The board of governors unanimously indorsed the recommendations of the committee and they were discharged, and Mr. Jansen will be so informed by the secretary. “It is a source of regret,” said Mr. Perry, “that any of the good clubs in the union should have resigned, and it is earnestly to be hoped that they will see their way clear to reconsider any such action. I do not believe any other club will resign, and anticipate that in a short time the clouds will be cleared away from all those athletic diti- culties. You cun rest assured the president of the A.A. U. and the Columbia Athletic Ciub will heartily support the A. A. U., au organiza- tion which has done so much for amateur athletics in the United States.” age THE CUURTS.
