"ron JUDGE" Quits Bench.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March Is
The federal judiciary loses it's most
picturesque and also one of it's most
respected members in the person OF
United States District Judge John j.
Jackson, whose retirement from the
bench of the District of West Virginia
became effective today. Judge Jack
son, who is more than eighty years old,
was an appointee of President Lin
coin and the oldest federal judge on
the bench. He became well known as
the Iron Judge" He was a terror
to labor unions in West Virginia, and
he it was who sent Mother Jones"
and other labor leaders and officials of
organized labor to jail for contempt.
Time and again he was the target Of
severe criticism, but his honesty and
stern integrity were never questioned.
He will be succeeded as district judge
by Congressman Aston G. Dayton of
West Virginia.

vnen he reached his eulogy of the
Head there were few dry eyes in the
audience. Miss Berner wept silently
as the bishop recounted the good deeds
of her late mistress.
Immediately after the services the

all the evidence gathered by them
selves and the Honolulu police.
President Jordan and DR.. Hopkins
made a signed statement before sailing,
declaring that Mrs. Stanford's death
was due to natural causes brought
about by a combination of circum-
stances and conditions. They point
out her advanced age, that she was un-
weustomed to exertion, that she had
sd a surfeit of unsuitable food, that
she suffered unusual exposure to death
and that the presence of strychnine in
the capsules and soda possibly aggra-
waited her general indisposition. They
say the presence of strychnine In the
soda was probably due to a druggistss
error or placed there for tonic pur-
poses They declare that Miss Berner
partook Of the capsules and soda at
the same time as Mrs. Stanford and
drew this portion of the statement.
