A heavy bolt of lightning about ,

Hire Chief Grady King said he be

to extinguish the blaze and the
heavy rains did extensive damage to
the entire ceiling, the new draperies
and curtains which were gifts of the

'Superintendent B. N. Barnes said
many of the veneered seats in the
auditorium will have to be replaced
and all of the Interior will have to

There's an old saying that there |
are more ways than one to skin a \
oat. And sp there ure more ways :.j
than one to "pack" the Feih ral Jud4- !
clary with 'friendly Jurists, the Wash 1
inpton schemers have found out.
When the plaint was made last j
year that Federal courts were over" J
crowded with work because some ot
the jurists were too old, and that
additional justices should be added .
to the Supreme Court and the lower :'
Federal courts, public sentiment balk <
ed the move. The new plan, however :
Is to quietly circumvent public opposition
with creation of a brand new- J
branch of the Federal Judclary. It's j
a tonne move, out it it potent. 10 ,
wtt:
Tlie new court would be known at '
the United State* Court of Awuli j
for Administration. It would receetve )
dedde and expedite appeal* Cram
Federal commtnrione, idnlnbtraMvt j
authorities, etc., to all casta fa <
which the Federal government waa a 1
party or had an Interest.
' In other wtirde, mnmeat agea- a
claa would take their legal woes a*
way from the old ectefclWhed oourta j
and let the decision rest with a hand A
picked court of its own.
