Seattle, Wash, July 2O.--An unex-
pected move indicating that the con-
gressional committee intends to probe
deeper into the relationship between
Judge Hanford and Kerr & McCord,
came this morning when the federal
committee issued subpoenas for all of
the stenographic records aud books
in the offices Of the attorneys dealing
with the Seattle and Renton stree car
concern.
In addition to the famous Renton
injunction case, it is believed that
the committee intends to probe the
present receivership affairs of the
Renton road, and the action of Kerr &
MoCord in that connection.

mittee was looked upon by attorneys
today as highly significant.
Evidence brought out thus far has
shown that the relationship between
Hanford and the two attorneys had
been very close. They were associat-
ed in the Hanford Irrigation company
and both Kerr and McCord drew large
fees through Hanford's court in the
Alaska packers case.
Kerr & McCord again were the at
torneys who secured the injunction
from Hanford last summer in the
Renton case

commissioner 1t is not known wheth-

leased the lands wanted by Hanford
before or after Ballinger's appoint

The fact was developed that, while
Hanford was negotiating with the
Northern Pacific for land, he reduced
the taxes Of the Northern Pacific by
