writ is returnable 10 the May term Of
the court. Meantime. a declaration re-
citing the specific grounds Of complaint
will be filed. W. q. McAdoo. Of New

out Of the investigation OF the charges
preferred by him before the Senate com
mittce against &. ID. Clark. whose con-
frmatiOn as Judge Keys successor 10
the Federal judgeship for the Middle and
Eastern districts Of Tennessee was made
to-day. His law partner. Mr.. Barr. was
seen. and stated that the Times had

lciously maligned his motives and course
in the Clark case.
The publications in the Times declared

csion; that h. and his people were not
allowed a fair hearing"
January nth the Times said editOrially
"Mr. win McAdoo's latest exploit inli-
