THE M A, I N TUB HOUSE i iwiawiiLaiMPi $50,000 WANTED FOR 2,200 LAND APPEAL CASES Washington, July. 18 Secretary Lane ef the Internior ' has stent a letter' to the members of the Senate and. House committee on .public lands urging a deficiency appropriation of $50,00O to be used ; In facilitating-. the disposition of .M land appeal cases which, fcavieao? cumulated In his department." The; secretary points - out - that the force ngage4.-noWy is the same as twenty years agof although in that time the work has increased three fold, " ., ; "The present force," writes Secre tary Lane, ie entirely inadequate. Practically - all of - these cases come from the western and southern states. Tsey ; involve the rights of claimants to homesteads and mineral lands, the claims of railroad to land grants and, of nearly all the western states, to school lands. - "The delays of the office necessarily are great, cases often running two y-ears before they reach the eecretary on ' the appeal. To this period must now be added a least an additional year. I feel that such delay -is doing a grave injury to the litigants, , who in the most part are contending for their home or for an opportunity to make 'homes."" : The secretary adds that "to take up a homestead under our present laws re quires not only the courage of the pioneer but the fortitude to face al most inevitable litigation for a long term of years." He insists that such litigation Ehould be made less expensive and more ex peditious. WOMAN RECEIVER : III U. S.

(Donovan), must have - at least five minutes to parti cipate in the discussion.' - On both points - Congressman Dono van was successful. Referring to the vacant . Connecticut judgeships, Mr. Donovan asked Mr. Palmer why . he . had not urged that these vacancies be filled. 'The Penn sylvanla case . is . not an emergency,' declared "Mr. , Donovan, . "because the Judge is living, but when there is no one to act, the judge being dead, what could be more of an emergency case? Mr.: Palmer replied that Congress could not act ; where a ; Judge is dead. but -Mr. Donovan insisted that Mr. Palmer, "doing his duty to the . people of this country, should have these posi tions filled.' ' Mri . Palmer is regarded as the representative .'of ; the Wilson administration.. ' J ,. ; Concluding the colloquy . Mr. ' Palmer said: . :.".. . . , j. : " ', "Evidently" the gentleman from Con neetieutis , endorsing . "somebody for Judgesomewhere." who has hot yet been appointed. . I wish him .luck and t hope , the prospective, judge whom he is endorsing will finally , reach , his place upqn the bench quickly." V , Later Mr. Donovari"to6k another tack. 'He said-that theiistrlct judg,e is "as a petty Justice, compared to the higher - courts," and - is practically of no importance. The district judge deals principally with statute-made crimes relating to the revenue laws, etc:,-: and requires knowledge : of the common law-to--deal-with onlyvj. per cent of the cases. Yet the new judge would receive $7,000 a year, or about a quarter of a million dollars during his natural life. Mr. Donovan argued that nobody knows about the district courts because "there have been vacan cies for a year." He said that Chair man Clayton of the judiciary commit tee, ."knows of that vacancy and al though the country is suffering, it doe's not worry him in the slightest." Mr Donovan argued for publicity of endorsements of Judicial candidates to prevent things going wrong with the Judges. "We have judges, that ought to be' in . prison instead of on" the bench,"" he declared,"' "who were rec ommended by men who" ought to be in priBon. The public pays the judges' salaries and has to suffer ,'Jiiom their decisions, and, it is entitleejVto know' who are behind the judges." Mr. Donovan added sarcastically " . that of course nothing wrong is done in Ala bama, (Clayton's home), . or. Pennsyl vania, but he declared seriously that things are different elsewhere. -He de- manned to know how v long. Clayton and Palmer would stand it- if judges issued injunctions, orders and decisions always in favor of the interests and persecuting others. Mr. Donovan con cluded with a plea for supporting-the Baltimore platform's declaration - ,lri favor of publicity of endorsements. De-J claring that the country had voted for that platform, he urged that the pub licity amendment would benefit - man-s kind. "The gentleman from -Pennsylvania and Alabama would .throw - the Baltimore platform into the waste bas ket now," shouted Donovan, "although they voted for publicity in the last Congress."
