Washington, June 1O-Declarine Federal Judge Cornelius F. Hanford of Seattle, is a Judicial pervert, a moral bankrupt and tool of corpora tfon and special privilege Attorney John H. Perry, of Seattle. today, filed with Representative Norris, Rep
 Neb.), an affidavit to supplement the impeachment charges already filed against the magistrate.
 Nine specifications of alleged mis- conduct are made by Perry against Hanford. Most of them are included in Representative Berger's indictment of the jurist. Tomorrow, they will be presented by Norris to the judi- member, when Berger appears at a preliminary hearing to set the im- peachment machinery in motion.
 !. That HanfOrd has violated his oath to give equal justice to rich and poor alike is Perry's first indictment. Per- ry also includes the charge that Ham ford was the corrupt tooP' of the Seattle Trenton and Southern Railway in granting an injunction against low ering of street car fares.
 A new charge is that Hanford, as the agent of corrupt politicians" en- Seattle, March ', 1911. when the re- moval of Mayor Hi Gil was sought. That he abused his power and dis cretion' is alleged on behalf of Franklin s. Scobie, the plaintiff. Per- ry declares Scobies interest in the suit was shown to be only seven cents and that Hanford's injunction thwart- ed the will of 10000 voters. A more serious allegation is that Hanford .sconspired'' with Attorneys Carr and McCord. of Seattle. in bankruptcy pro- ceedings in 1905 in which the Alaska Packers association was. interested Perry also asserts that Hanford gave the atturn99ts a receivers fee of $140.- GOO and then. all three organized the Hanford Irrigation & Power Co.

ARREST ALLEGED
 CHICKEN THIEF ON BENCH WARRANT

After a search lasting over week. Columbo Gerri. who forfeited $750 bond in the criminal superior court last week. was arrested by Deputy Sheriff John M Donnelly this morn ing. Gerri was found in Louis E.. Richards Elm, street office, where he had gone on matter of business.
 Gerri, whose real name is said to be Columbo Carmine was originally arrested for chicken stealing in. New Canaan. He failed to appear in the criminal superior court when his case was called but Judge Bennett allowed the matter to go over because he did not want to see the woman who fur nished the bond, lose the money. Gerrf did not appear at the next hearing, however, and the court had the bond called Maria Esposito of this city furnished the bond.
 - This morning the authorities learned that .Gerri was in this city and As- sistant States Attorney Carter was notified He issued a bench warrant which Deputy Sheriff Donnelly served. Gerri's case will probably not be con sidered in court until next October.

BURGLARS STRIP
 EXPRESS GAR OF
 VALUABLE GOODS
Hundred Cases Broken Open and Those With Valuable Contents Are Emptied.

What may prove to be nearly a van load of merchandise shipped by Adams express. to points on the Naugatuck division beginning from this city, ing in the freight yards near Whiting street over Sunday.
 Preparations for the hauling of the express car out of the yard early this morning led to the discovery that it had been burglarized, and the entire car ranSacked.
 No adequate estimate of the loss can be made. Express messengers were kept busy all day rearranging the shipments of goods in the general offices, whither the broken cases and trunks were moved from the car when the discovery of the pillage was made.
 The burglars must have taken hours to accomplish their work. More than loo packages, it is estimated, were broken open. Some of these, from the marks outside, were found to have been stripped of clothing and other articles of wearing apparel.
 Other boxes, not so valuable, were left torn open with their contents un- disturbed.
 As soon as the expressmen discov- cred the crime, the local police as we'll as railroad detectives got busy. The looters left no clues.
 The expressmen are inclined to the belief that a very bulky amount of goods was carried off, but just how valuable or how much cannot be as- certained. for several days until -vouch- CTS are returned from the shippers in- dicating the contents, of the empty cases.
 A freight car on the siding in Hou- satonic avenue near Ruppert's Bridge port branch was hEoken open also and three cases of Knickerbocker beer were stolen over Sunday.
 NHon "a yy1ii1ar with fha movements or the express company are believed to have robbed the Adams express car, for it is one that is made up on Sat urday night, shifted to the lower yards and shipped out with the first. Nauga- tuck train Monday, every week.

generally prefer Roosevelt believing
that the times call for more drastic and
advanced reforms than Taft Is !denti-

On the tariff, conservation. labor leg

Roosevelt as we have shown before.
But the latter advocates more direct
government by the voters, purer de-
mocracy, the recall Of decisions and
a limited use OF the referendum and

who think Taft ingumclcntly radical or
aggressive will take no one except
Roosevelt.
