TWO FEDERALJUDGES ACCUSED.
Charges Made In the House May Result
In Impeach chment Proceedings.

WASHINGTON. May s.--Charges against
two Federal Judges are contained in a
resolution introduced in the House to-day
by Mr.. Murphy. a Republican Of Missouri.
The Judges attacked are John +. Phillips
OF Missouri and Smith Mcpherson OF
Iowa, both United States District Judges
1t is set forth in tho resolution that
Judge Phillips issued temporary re-
straining order preventing the enforce
ment of a maximum freight law passed
by the Missouri Legislature. The law was
to have gone in effect on June IA, 1905.
1t is charged that the railroads with
out notice secured the issuance OF an
order restraining the Attorney General
OF the State and the members Of the Rail-
road and Warehouse Commission and a
number OF shippers from taking any
steps to enforce the law; that thereafter the
application for the temporary injunction
was heard by Judges Phillips and Nc
Pherson. who without argument granted
the injunction. DemurTers were filed to
plaintiffs bill, but the said Judges
arbitrarily refused to hear the same, but
adjourned court for the summer. then
ONcII tlt Shiuc III tLt iuh'
Shortly afterward, so the resolution
says. Gardner Lathrop of the Santa Fe
system, o. NJ. Spencer of the Burlington
system and Sam W. Moore Of the Kansas
City Southern took Judges Phillips and
MCPHERSON on fishing trip, The trip.
it is charged, was made in a private car
belonging to the railroad companies
affected by the legislation Of the State.
Upon the return of the party from the
fishing trip the replies Of the railroad
companies to defendants answer were
filed: and motion was made to appoint
a referee TO hear the testimony, W hich was
at first denied -by-JHdge- -PhilliRe-but
afterwards granted.
The resolution recites that Phillips
when on the bench is tyrannical in
the extreme insulting in the highest
degree to the attorneys who must appear
before him; that he had destroyed the right
by the Constitution by frequently di-
recting, juries to return verdicts
of guilt that jurors who have
refused to follow his direction
have been insulted, Inundated and ac-
cused of violating their oaths as such,
and by order Of court 80 directed to be
made by him forever debarred from
acting or sitting as jurors in his said court
That he quits the bench for long periods
his place being supplied by other Judges
and when he does see fit to hold court
1t is only for four hours per day. putting
litigants to great unnecessary expense.
The resolution directs the Speaker to
appoint a committee of three members
OF the House TO investigate the conduct
Of Judges Phillips and MCPHERSON in
respect to their action in the litigation
mentioned
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Rules. The select COM
mittee to investigate is empowered to
issue subppnas for witnesses and to
compel attendance. 1t is directed to
report it's findings to the House not later
than December. 1909.
