STILL AFTER KIRKPATRICK.
Attorney Nowiin Writes to Speaker Cannon
Demanding Impea chn,ent.


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.--Attorney James
W. NJ Newlin, acting on a suggestion by
the Department of Justice, that he lay
his demand for the impeachment Of Judge
Kirkpatrick Of New Jersey before the
House Of Representatives. has sent cor
responding demand to Speaker Cannon.
After touching on his letter to the Presi-
dent, he says that Judge Kirkpatrick has
announced as to the presidency of the
Federal Trust Company and the holding
the fjudgeship, that he saw no improperly
in holding both offices.
He points out that so far as the asphalt
litigation is concerned the proof of the
Newlin allegations can be found in the
records Of Judge Kirkpatrick's court on
the various cases heard there.
He declares that. in connection with this
litigation, ut is to b' borne in mind that
the record shows that the Judge declined
to afford an opportunity to independent
creditors to obtain a judicial inquiry into
the fitness Of John NJ. Mack to be re-
celver, notwithstanding which fact Judge
Kirkpatrick undertook to conduct private
inquiry Of his own into the subject.
III Judge Kirkpatrick while Federal
Judge he says, may occupy the position
Of president of trust company, other
Judges may do the same thing, and having
in view the kind of people who are inter-
ested in the Federal Trust Company his
continuance on the bench would be a tacit
approval by Congress"
Mr.. Newlin then gives some ilustra-
tions of the possibilities of this dual office
