An ESDedienf

Washington, Special.-A member of
the House committee on the judiciary
has prepared a bill looking to con
soiidation OF the Northern and South
ern judicial districts OF Florida. This
expedicnt is proposed to legislate Judge
Charles Swayne out OF Office and avoid
the necessity for impeaching him.
There is serious objections to this plan
among many members OF the House.
II Is stated in opposition to the plan
that even IL the district should be
abolished Judge Swayne would still be
entitled to his salary as Judge and
that 1t would simply work a hard
ship on the people OF the district and
on the judge for the Southern district
Of the State.
