JUDGE RANFoRD RESIGNS.
Ill Health Given as Reason for With
drawaI From Bench.

Seattle.-United States District
Judge Cornelius H. Hanford, whose
conduct on the bench has been under
investigation for nearly a month by
a subcommittee of the house ju-
dietary committee, telegraphed his
resignation to President Taft last
Monday. Judge Hanford gives ill
health as the reason for his resigna-
tion.
The members of the house commit
tee assembled at an unusually early
hour, prepared to continue the hear
ing, but the committee was not called
to order. In short time the COM
mittee and Judge Hanford's counsel
adjourned to an ante-room, and the
nervous air about the six men and
the alternate departure and return of
the attorneys gave hint to the peo-
pie in the court room that important
conferences were in progress. Mean
while Judge Hanford was seated on
the bench in an adjoining room, lis
tening to a motion calendar. He
seemed to be under no greater strain
than for weeks.
Judge Hanford's statement to the
public follows:
The almost constant strain under
which | have worked for more than
% years has taxed but not exhausted
my power of endurance. | am not
likely to have vacation or rest. but
a change of occupation will be a
welcome relief. | intend to practice
law in Seattle.
In the investigation which has
been conducted by the subcommittee
OF the house of representatives much
testimony has been given by wit
nesses who know me and by others
who do not. | am grateful for the
commendation of those who have
spoken and written in my favor. and
as for those who have maligned me.
l only wish to say that | would be
ashamed of myself if | had not in
Cured the enmity of such people as
they are. A judge is never so sure of
being right as when his work has
been criticised unfairly, and without
boasting, in view of all that has been
and may be said of and concerning
myself and my work. / am glad that
my record is what it is.

TURNING TO STONE.
Man Slowly Dying Waits Patiently
for End.

Nine years ago this coming Sep
tember Charles j. Murphy of North
field, student "a years old, limped
into st. Luke's hospital on crutches
and was put to bed. He has been
there ever since, slowly dying of a
disease ancient as the earliest relics
of Egypt, as mysterious as the pre-
historic period and as certain as the
pyramids. He is slowly ossifying-
turning to stone-the deposits of the
joints becoming solid and stiffening
his entire frame into a rigid thing.
When the chill touches his heart
he will die. 1t may be a year. 1t
may not be for number of years
But there is no escape. The techni-
cal name of the disease is osteo-
arthritis. It's cause is unknown. NO
method of stopping it has been re-
vealed.
Day after day Murphy lies in
little darkened room in the basement
ward of the hospital, nearly prone
on an adjustable cot, his arms stiff
and flat beside his body, his limbs
changed from the human shape, his
eyes blind by the Justification process
and he can distinguish only between
light and darkness. At night he is
lifted into his bed, to await another
day. 1t has been a long time since
he could pass the time by reading.
1t has been longer than that since
he could give himself any physical
assistance.
The physician to whom he and his
mother went when the disease first
became alarming, and who imedi-
ately made the diagnosis which was
a death warrant, says he doesn't be-
lieve there is point in the unfor-
tunate mans body which has not be-
come rigid or started to stiffen.
Even his jaws are affected so that
he talks with some difficulty and
must be fed slowly and carefully.
Through it all Murphy is patient.
He knows he is dying and is waiting
philosophically for the end. His
mind is active and appreciative, and
always reaching out for knowledge
of all things the world has been do
ing since he entered his room nearly
half a score years ago.-Corvallis
Gazette.

RAILROADS BACK ENGLAND.
Congressman Call on President and
Make Assertion.

Washington, ID. president Taft
was told last week by Representative
Knowland of California that the Can
adian railroads, acting in sympathy
with the American railroads, were
behind Great Britains protest
against free tolls through the Pana-
ma canal for United States ships, and
there is little doubt that the Amer
lean transcontinental railroads
prompted the move"
Knowland also talked with Secre-
tary Knox. Both the president and
secretary state they are standing for
the right of the United States to put
certain American vessels through the
canal toll free. While many of Taft S
advisors contend the question Of
tolls is really one of interstate COM
merce, they are hoping the dispute
may be settled without being submit
ted to The Hague tribunal.

RESOLUTIONS ARE MANY.
Mining Congress COmmends Lauda-
BILE Schemes, DenOunces Others.

Among resolutions reported by
the resolutions committee at the
Yreka Mining Congress and unani-
mously adopted was one recommend
ing simplified procedure governing
the procuring of patents to mineral
lands.
Another commended the splendid
work of the American Mining Con-
gress in the legislative creation OF
the bureau of mines and for its as
sistance and work in placing the min
ing industry on a better basis, -
pledging "our influence to render
any assistance possible"
Another commended the work of
the geological survey and requested
congress to complete the work of
mapping unsurveyed sections.
Reduced rates on railroads for
minerals is urged as follows: Leg
islatures and the state railroad COM
missions and the Interstate commerce
commission are requested to make a
thorough investigation into existing
freight and transportation rates in
this district and to secure such re-
duction thereof as will enable the
miner to better develop the many
rich properties now lying dormant
for want of such equitable transpor-
tation rates"
A more liberal Interpretation of
the mineral laws relative to the use
of timber and water by the secretary
of the interior is the subject of a
memorial, to the end that the miner
and prospector may be encouraged.
The mining bureaus of California
and Oregon are commended for their
work and the legislatures of the two
states petitioned for suitable appro-
priations to carry on the work.
The congress pledged itself to
fight wildcat mining schemes and
stop the sale of worthless mining Sc
curities, and expose frauds.
San Diego was thanked for its in
vitation to hold the session of 1915
there, and a suitable display of
minerals at the Panama-P Pacific fair
recommended.
Prospectors of Oregon and Califor-
MIA were invited to become members
of the congress in another resolution.
The semi-annual meetings were
changed from January and July to
May and October and Redding select
ed for the next congress Yreka and

the entertainment of the congress
and the fine mineral disDlay

TRADITION FATAL.
New MILDLY, Climbing to Top of Old
Ship, Falls.

Annapolis, Md.-After a success
full effort to climb to the topmast of
the Hartford, Farragut's old flag
ship, now moored at the Naval Acad-
emy wharf, and pierce his cap with a
spike which prolongs the highest
point, thus fulfilling academy tradi-
ton, thought to be necessity for all
newly entered midshipmen, William
l.. Bullock, who entered the institu-
ton only six weeks ago, fell 100 feet
to the deck while attempting to de-
scend and broke his neck, dying in
stantly.
Bullock was with his roommate,
Midshipman Aston, also from Texas,
when the fatal accident took place.
He left Bancroft Hall at $3.50 and
the accident took place within ten
minutes. He reached the highest
point of the mainmast without seri-
Gus difficulty and transfixed his cap
on the spike at the top. In attempt
ing to descend Bullock tried to slide
down single rope and his hands
were evidently burned by the rapid
descent He attempted to grab the
mast or other ropes and lost his hold
completely. Bullock struck the
crossbars of the mast in his fall and
it is believed that he then received
the fatal injuries. He struck the
deck 100 feet below and lay lifeless.
Naval surgeons were brought to the
scene promptly and pronounced him
dead

was the assertion of Senator Smith of
South Carolina in speech in the
senate Monday He said:
IF we decide that our title to the
Panama canal zone is such as to
make it practically United States ter
ritory insofar as our relations with
foreign countries is concerned, then
it follows that any law we make in
reference to our own citizens use of
this property, where it applies to our
citizens alone, is not matter for
arbitration"
