House judiciary Committee Declines to
Take COTniInnce Gf Them.


WASHINGTON, Jan. ~ The House Com
mittee on the Judiciary at its regular meet
ing today refused TO take official cogni-
zanoe Of the charges against Judge t. Henry
Lacombc. Of the Circuit Court The judge
appeared at the Capitol in person and in
sisted that no he heard. At tho same time
he filed with Chairman Jenkins copy
Of the steps taken in the case Of Dubois
against the Mayor and the Ctyof New York
on which Watt and DoEan, attorneys Ter
Dubois, base their charges.
The chairman received the document
but. on taking the aense OF the committee,
found that every member was opposed to
any action until the matter Is put IN such
shape that there is something OF which
Official notice may be taken.
The statement was filed To show that the
Judges nccusers have adequate remedies
10y means of appeals if they have any sub
stantiai grievance.
The statement consists OF copies Of letters
that passed between Watt and Dohau on
one side and Judge lacombe and william
Parltn. clerk Of the Circuit Court OF appeals
for the Second Circuit, on the other. on the
subject Of the form Of proposed decree IN
the case of Dubois against New YORK Clty.
The LAWYERS informed the Judge that he
had no right to sign the decree and that he
was prohibited by law from taking any part
in the case in the Circuit Court Of Appeals,
Judge Lacombe responded with 4 tart
letter calling attention to what he con-
ceived to be the improperly Of their con-
duct The question Of jurisdiction was
lost sight OF as the correspondence pro-
crossed The Judges OF chs Circuit Court
asked Watt and Dohan to appear before
them TO explain or justify their conduct in
writing the letters. Three letters Illustrate
The spirit OF the correspondence.
On Dec. 5, e0. Judge Lacomoe wrote:
your communication dated Dec. =. 1904.
was received by me this morning
To this the lawyers replied: We hope
il will be a lesson to you
When the lawyers were called TO appear
before the Judges they wrote TO each
Judge
surely in vain the net is spread in the
sight Of any bird Proverbs H.. IL
Watt and Dohau, when the Judge called
attention TO the fact that they had not
been admitted TO practice IN the Circuit
Court said they would, when they got
ready to apply for admission, disregard
Judge Iacombe's yelled threat to oppose
their application and make it matter of
right and not Of courtesy They said
they suspected the Judge had a grievance
against them because they had found it
neoes sary TO call attention to his dcrelic-
tons They insisted that his acts were I'M
lawful and not merely innocent mistakes.
