OF JUDGES
POLITICAL FOLLY
BROWN DECLARES
Former Justice Opposes
Popular Vote for Senators
in Speech.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 30.-Describing
the recall as "a somewhat clumsy and
expensive device. but one that may turn
out to be Of great service in disposing Of
unpopular officials" former Justice Of
the Supreme Court Henry B. Brown to-
day. in an address to the American Bar
Association, denounced any attempt to
apply it to the judiciary. The latter
body. he insisted, is made of finer clay
than the general run of officials, and
should not have to defend its actions
before the people.
mo Judge is fit for his place who
has not the courage to render an un-
popular decision" continued Justice
Brown, ''and a recall in such cases
could easily be made the cover for
grossest abuse The very idea that a
Judge should be compelled to descend
from the bench and vindicate his right
to retain his seat by an appeal to the
public is the last recourse Of political
folly"
Brown also assailed the idea of the
popular election Of United States Sena-
tors saying:
The success of the plan is purely
problematical, and can only be deter
mined after years Of trial.
while election by the legislature un-
doHbtedly gave us some bad men, 1t
also produced a much larger element of
honorable and eminent men who have
contributed immensely to the prosperity
and glory of the country"
The speaker Endorsed the commission
plan of government for cities and said
that the new Federal judicial code is
operating to lessen the laws delays.

OPENING OF FIGHT
FOR IMPEACHMENT
Of JUDGE HANFO ORD
Citizens of Washington
State Begin Test Case
in Seattle.

SEATTLE. Wash. Aug. 30.-When
nine Washington State citizens-leaders
in the local movement started recently
for the impeachment of Judge Cornelius
Hanford, Of the United States District
Court-were given a hearing today be-
fore United States Commissioner Tot
ten on the charge of conspiracy to
obstruct the ends of justice" what
promises to be one of the most bitter
legal fights In the Northwest was be-
gun.
Three of the nine men arrested Hugo
Kelly, Paul K. Mohr and City Council
man Erickson have refused offers Of
their friends to furnish bail, and have
remained in the county Jail. When to-
days hearing began, Erickson expected
to furnish the 5000 bail necessary, but
the other two declared their intention
of remaining in Jail to protest against
what they characterize IS the high
handed methods of the Government Of
ficials in suppressing free speech.
The other six defendants are all prom
lnently identified with the city's activ-
lties. They are former Mayor Fawcett,
Tacoma; B. H. Garfield and Leroy San
ders, editor and publisher Of the Seat
tie Star; attorney John Perry, counsel
for the Star; Thomas Horner Will At
kins. They are determined 10 force a
test case to determine now far the
courts, Federal or State, may interfere
In the rights of citizens to free speech.
The arrests are the direct outcome of
a battle that has been raging for months
between the Seattle, Renton and South
ern Interburban railway anc the in
habitants of Rainier valley. The inter-
burban line refused to issue transfers
to the Seattle city lines on the plan OF
q f1ve-cent fare.
The Seattle superior court and the
The Washington times., 1911-08-30

state supreme court. both ruled that
patrons might demand such transfers.
The interurban company then appealed
to the Gureme Court Of the United
States. Meanwhile, II refused to issue
the transfers. Last week the Rainier
Valley citizens began to demand re-
ceipts for their fares so they could get
a refund later The company appealed
to Judge Hanford, Of the United
States district court. who issued tenn
porary blanket injunction restraining
the citizens from asking for receipts for
transfers.
Following this Injunction, the move
ment started for the impeachment Of
Judge Hanford. Petitions were circtl-
lated and quickly signed, asking Con-
gress to remove Hanford from the Fed
eral bench. AS a climax of the move
ment, a meeting was 6eld last Friday
night to voice strong protest against
the Judge.
Before the meeting. however, Judge
Hanford was hanged In effigv In front
OF Dreamland rink. The meeting adopt
ed resolutions asking Congress to in
vestigate Hanford.
The following afternoon District At
torney Leeds swore out the warrants
fer the arrest of the nine defendants.
This action has aroused the citizens of
Seattle. especially as the defendants
charge that the district attorney and
Judge Hanford are attempting TO
abridge their rights to free speech. They
promise 10 carry the case to the high
est court

STRANDED WOMAN
FROM PANAMA HAD
MONEY IN TRUNK
Mrs. Dennis Finds Order for
500 From Knights of
Pythias.

Facts brought to light today by the
Knights of 'Pythias indicate that Mrs.
Minnie Dennis, who believed she was
stranded in this city with her six little
children, was not without funds after
ell.
In one Of her trunks Mrs. Dennis to-
day found a money order for $50, which
had been given her by the Knights Of
Pythias before she left Panama with
her husbands body. She said she had
forgotten about the money. and that
she believed the scent piece in her
purse was all the money she had when
she arrived at Union Station.
Mrs. Dennis also said that another
money order for $40 which was given
her by the same organization before
sailing frcrn the Isthmus had been used
in. defrayiRG part Of her expenses TO
Washington.
The Knights Of Pythias in this city
nave received word that more than
500 was raised for the woman's benefit
BY the order on the Isthmus, following
her husbands death. and that the
money would be forwarded to one OF
the officers Of The organization in this
city to be used to help buy her cot
tage In the suburbs or the District. It
WAS explained that this money was not
given to the woman personally when
she left the Isthmus as II was thought
the money already given her would be
sufficient to defray Eer expenses until
the arrival Of the larger check by mail.
Another cheek fo- 500 Is understood to
be on its way here.
Mrs. Dennis will leave the Confed-
crate Memorial Home, where she has
been staying as the guest of Mrs.
Emmart, the matron, on Friday. The
Knights of Pythias, Of which her hus-
band was q member, will provide
temporary quarters for her until some
permanent arrangement Is made.

Gunners Are Preparing
For Hunting Season

Devotees of marsh shooting are
anxiousiy awaiting the first streak Of
daylight Friday morning. 1t will be a
signal for turning the silent marshes
and river ways Of the District and near
by Maryland and Virginia into noise
full stretches where the haze of powder
will hang and where the succulent
'reedies'' and ortolan will meet slaugh-
ter.
Game will be plentiful this season.
Already a lot of people are discussing
the relative points OF settlers, cookers,
and pointers, and the sporting stores
are showing the latest designs in shot
guns and canvas clothes.
Signs have been erected near the Ben
ming bridge to prevent any shooting
within 200 yards of the bridge. The
Benning marshes are those most
frequented by gunners. and all Of the
skiffs and small batteauX are engaged.
The marsh is different this year from
last, however. There has been a good
deal Of filling in. and the reclaimed land
shuts from river approach much of the
marsh formerly accessible to gunners.

Room Problem Is
Worrying Elliott Woods

Superintendent of the Capitol, Elliott
Woods, has a new and large burden
put on his shoulders. This relates to
the question Of how to find seats in the
House for the forty-two additional
hembers provided for in the reappor-
tfonment act.
The House office building is already
taxed to its capacity, and what to do
about rooms for the new members is
a vexing problem. Another story may
have to be added to the building.
AS for the House chamber itself, it is
crowded, and no plans have been def
nitely made for the rearangement of
the seating. One plan is to put in
benches instead of individual desks,
and the other is to substitute rail desks.
