Washington, Apfil 17—For the first time in.eightéen years the term docket of cases ‘for consideration by the su- preme court of the United States has reached mumber: 1,000, Of this num- ber the disposition of probably 800 has been made by the court during the term, leaving 700 for consideration. _ The slump in- the 'docket eighteen Years ago was due to a reorganizdtion of the judiclary system. The increase | this year js-regarded as due both to the inoreasing number. of cases annu- ally brought to the supreme court and the vacancies.on the bench last year. The thousandth case was an appeal | of the Southern Pacific Railway com- | pany from the deeres. of the federal | courts in California holding that it should .pay . the United States $70,000 for the sale of land in California mis- takenly patented by the United States to the. raflroad, company. The case, probably will' not' be_reached on the r call”of’ the, docket for argu- ment within| thiree years.
