MORE SPEED BY HIGH COURT IS MARTIN'S PLEA Jurist Stresses Need of Acceleration by State Supreme Bench. Indiana lawyers today were discussing the report of Judge Clarence R. Martin to the Bar Association In which he charged that acceleration of effort by certain members of the supreme court whose dockets have accumulated would relieve the burdensome delay in the decision of cases. Without mincing words or attempting to shield the court. Judge Martin read its record to the attorneys who attended the Bloomington meeting. Statistics submitted by the jurist showed that Jud*e David R. Myers wrote but six opinions in the year ending July 3 and his "batting average” for three years has been eight cases per year. Commentators on the court have pointed out that Myers has made many visits during the year to Greensburg, his home town, where the bark of which he is president has been construcing anew building. Seven Years Needed At the present rate of progress would take Judge Myers seven years* to decide the cases now pending before him, Martin’s figures reveal. The highest average of opinion written for three years was made by Martin, who wrote eighty-seven opinions. Judge Willard B. Gemmill, candidate for re-election this year, was next with sixty-three cases. Benjamin Willoughby was third with fifty-five; Julis C. Travis fourth with fifty, and Myers last with twenty-four. Gemmill inherited more than thirty cases when he came on the court. In the five and one-half years he has been a member the high tiae of the cumber of appeals was reached, yet at the present time he has cleared his regular and advanced dockets of all but seven cases and his transfer docket of all but eight cases and soon after court reconvenes In the autumn should have all of his docket clear. Analyzing the statistics of the court and past performances of the judges Martin declared in substance that: Gemmill would have all of his nenriiner cases decided within one-third year; Martin would have his docket cleared in one-half year; Willoughby in two years; Tra.is in three years, and Myers in seven years. Appeals on Decrease "Os course, as some judges catch up with their dockets an equalization of the cases may be accomplished by reassignment, Martin declared. "The total number of distributed cases and petitions to transfer is increasing over last year, thirty-eight new cases and fifty-three petitions to transfer, a total of ninety-one, being docketed during the first six months of 1930, as against ninetysix new cases and seventy petitions to transfer, a total of 166 for the calendar year of 1929, Martin pointed out. "The number of cases appealed directly to the supreme court continues to decrease. The number of petitions to transfer cases from the appellate to the supreme court is the cause of the total increase. “There are now on the regular docket eighty-four cases as against ninety cases a year ago and as against seventy-one cases two years ago. There are ninety-five cases on the advance docket as against 102 cases a year ago, and as against 23$ cases two years ago. About 125 of the latter cases being transferred to the appellate court under the act of 1929.” Assigned in Rotation "The total number of distributed cases on both these dockets fully briefed and ready for decision, is 179 as against 192 a year ago, and 306 cases in 1927,” Martin continued. There are now on the transfer docket 113 cases as against 109 in 1929 and 126 cases two years ago. "The cases are assigned to the judges in rotation. Owing to difcference in length of service possibly to the different character of cases and the speed with which the work is accomplished (and of course quality of work can not be sacrificed for quantity) the docket of some of the judges are quite congested while others are almost clear of cases. The greatest number of distributed cases now assigned to any judge is 59, which is to Travis; while the least number is seven, assigned to Gemmil.” Judge Martin found the number of cases now pending before the court is less than it has been for several years. "The cases now are being decided at a rate faster than new cases are being distributed,” he said, "the present burdensome delay in the decision of cases is caused by an accumulation of cases on the dockets of some of the members of the court. It will be possible in time to eliminate that accumulation.”

‘TREE SITTING’ CRAZE SWEEPS MIDDLI WEST ‘Air-Minded’ Boys and Girls Take Up Fad Set by Wisconsin Youth. By United Pres CHICAGO, July 14.— The young west has gone "airminded,” and tree sitting an unknown art a week ago, today was the most popular pastime in the Mississippi valley. Emulating perhaps the Hunter brothers of aviation endurance fame, perhaps Tartan of the Apes, boys of all ages, and girls, too, perched among the tree top 6, each determined to win everlasting fame by remaining there longer than any of the others. In oak trees and elm trees, hickories and catalpas, in lowa and Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Michigan and Illinois, they then sat some more. It was much fun. No accurate estimateof the number of boys and girls who had taken up the fad started by Jimmy Clemons of Racine, Wis., was available, but lowest estimates were that at least fifty were in the race, and so vociferous were their claims that fame came to few except in their own immediate neighborhoods. None, however, disputed the claim of 14-year-old Jack Richards of Kansas City that he is the champion thus far. At 2 this morning Jack had been "up” ninety-four

hours, which was fifty-eight hours more than the original record set by the Racine boy. ‘Til stay up here until school starts,” said Jack. ‘Tm only 14, but I can sit as good as if I were older.” In another Kansas City tree sat Eva Bates, 12. She was left alone at 11:30 Sunday night when Charlotte Finnell, 11, who had been sitting with her for thirty-nine hours, decided she didn’t want to play any more. "Eva is going to stick just the same and beat the time of that boy,” said her mother after Charlotte had climbed down. In Chicago, Jack Harris, 12, and Truman Kirkpatrick, 16, made a late start in the tree sitting game, but benefited by the mistakes of their predecessors and made preparations to remain up indefinitely. Before entering the unofficial contest for the mythical championship, this pair built a comfortable home in the branches of a tree in the Kirkpatrick back yard. Their house among the branches is large enough for them to walk around a bit and they can lie down to sleep. Two other boys act as "refuelers,” sending food up to them by a long rope and pulley.
