AMENDMENT REDUCES NEW YORK JUDGESHIPS | —_— | Voted by House, 158 to 151, After Fight Directed by Empire Democrats. The bill for additional judges for southern New York was amended in the House vesterday to provide for only one new judgeship instead of two. The vote was 158 to 151. rected by Democrats in the New Yorl congressional delegation, and before defeat of the measure they succeeded in putting over an amendment to re- duce the number of proposed judge- ships from two to one. Repeated reference was made to Tammany influence, during the de- | bate, and some of the New York | Democrats contended that by placing the appointment of the judges in the ds of a Republican President the would strike a partisan blow at | the famous old Democratic club. Thi hRepublicans supporting the bill de- clared additional judges are needed to relieve court docket congestion. . Representative Longworth, the Re- publican leader, made a vain attempt to stave off defeat, his motion to put off a vote until next week, losing by a few votes. SUES FOR $35,000.
