General Stoessel, in the Course Of
which the general said: "The capitu.

was merely a coincidence. The loss
of 203 Meter hill and the subsequent
capture of forts, combined with the

of Mr.. Rogers, the Communication
Was Referred to the Judiciary Com
mttee, Which Is Expected to Rec.
ommend a Course Of Procedure.
AlbNH, Jan. 4.-Justice Warren B.
Hooker himself last night brought up
to the assembly the question of an in
vestigation of the accusations against
him recently discussed by the State
Bar association, by sending a com
munication' direct to the assembly,
where it was handed down by Speak
er Nixon.
Justice Hooker's letter summarizes
without comment the action of the
State Bar association, its grievance
committee and the subcommittee
thereof, on the charges made against
him in connection with the Fredonia
and Dunkirk postoffices,. and con-
cludes as follows:
"At tle recent meeting of the State
Bar association held in Albany one
resolution was adopted approving the
report of the general committee and
another to the effect that the facts
embodied in the report were not of a
character to warrant legislative inves-
tigation.
Notwithstanding such action by
the State Bar association, number
of prominent lawyers and portion Of
the public press have insisted that
Legislative Investigation should be
had These demands must have i'm
pressed the public.
Therefore, | respectfully but earn
estly urge as due to the public, my
Office and myself that my conduct be
made the subject of legislative in
quiry.
Warren B. Hooker"
After an extended but rather desul
tory discussion of the disposal of the
communication, it was referred, on mo-
tion of Mr.. Rogers, to the judiciary
committee, which is expected to rec
ommend course Of procedure.
The discussion on the Hooker mat
ter was in no sense partisan or SEN
sational and contained little reference
to the merits Of the question, and
there was no criticism or spirited
comment from either side.
Mr.. Palmer objected to the lmme-
diate reference to the judiciary COM
,mittee, as he said he did not want the
investigation throttled.
Chairman Fish of the judiciary COM
mittee smilingly resented any insinua-
tion that the committee might not
treat the matter in good faith.
Mr.. Merritt of st. Lawrence sup
porting the proposed reference
thought 1t not necessarily to be taken
for granted that an investigation
would be called for with it's long de-
lay and expense.
Leader Rogers said he thought JUS
tice Hooker was entitled to an inves-
tigation if he asked for It; he has all
along felt that. this was the way in
which legislative investigation
should come about. In any case, the
members of the judiciary committee
were able lawyers, fully competent to
deal with the question. Messrs. Bur
nett of Ontario and La Fetra of New
York also spoke on the question.
