Attorney General Acts Upon the

Violations of the Law and Slack
Methods Said to Have Been
Discovered.

The Attorney General has taken cog
niZance OF a scandal that las long pre-
vailed in this city.
IL has been Well understood for long
time that a SUIT tor oebt brought before
almost any one OF the justices of the peace
IN Washington would result in verdict
for piaintirI in every case where there was
a chance of collecting this money, and the
impression mas been widely spread that the
attorneys prdcticing before these courts
pooled their issues and divided their
fees.
Attorney General Har rmon, 1T is Of
ficially stated, is now considering lhe
que tstion OF recommending. the removal or
CERTAIN Justices OF the peace OF the District
of Columbia, upon the report of the ex-
amner who recently investigated their
methods in cases OF landlords against
tenants to recover possession OF rented
property.
II appears from the report that the prao-
tice ui issuing SUNNI ons in such cases
without the sworn complaint in writing
of the owner being first filed (Which is a
direct violation of the statute), has been
the common -practIce of some Of the JUS
tlCeS.
1t also appears from the report that this
law is very much abused, that it is not
used 10 obtain possession of property, but
merely as process TO enforce the payment
of rent: that in many cases Judgment by
default is given as matter of course with
out proof, and that the effect OF this
misuse oI The judicial l. -ocess is to work
great injustice on the poorer class OF

Chairman Elliot Danforth of the Demo
cratic State committee today received
letter from a widow who lives in ontario
county, enclosing check as n cCntlibu-
ton TO the Democratic campaign fund.
Mr. Danforth would not tell the amount.
Chairman Danforth laughed when he was
asked about the story that the Democratic
State committee had violated the law in
sending subscription circulars TO the custom
house employees. Collector kilbreth dis
covered one of tile circulars yesterday and
reported the matter to the Treasury authori

sent them to the employees as individuals.
They were sent all over the country. There
was no violation OF the law in Going this
the very same thing was done in 'eS when
the custom house employees were simply
held up for subscriptions and the hat passed
around.
II think that Collector Kilbreth is guilty
of a violation of law in stopping the mails.

to have been aroused by these letters

Republicans finally settled their differences
today and chartered a special train upon
which delegation went to the State
capitol TO inform the secretary OF State
in order that the proper changes might be
made in printing the State ballots.
The time to make changes expired at
. o'clock this afternoon. On arriving at
Baton Rouge the reconciled Republican
factions were confronted by an unlocked for
obstacle to their wishes. The secretary of
State refused to permit the withdrawal of
any of the ticket on the ground that the time
for such action had expired. The dele
cation, therefore. could do nothing.
This will leave the two full tickets in the
field and lead to inextricable confusion

.The action of the secretary of State will
