HANFORD PROBED
Thinks It Would be Good Idea to Go

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
LINCOLN, Nebr. Aug. William
.. Bryan in a Commoner editorial to-
day urges congress to proceed with
the Hanford investigation, declaring
that the Seattle judge has disgraced
the federal bench. The Bryan editor
ial says:
Federal Judge Hanford has resign
ed, evidently for the purpose of escap-
ing Impeachment proceedings. Several
members of congress have expressed
the opinion that further proceedings
against Judge Hanford would not ba
necessary for 1t would take on the
form Of persecution. Unquestionably,
Judge Hanford has suffered sufficient
disgrace. The investigation OF his
methods disclosed that he used his
position on the bench to aid certain
special interests. 1t is freely charged
that representatives Of these interests
persuaded Judge Hanford to resign in
order that they might avoid further
exposure. Mr. Berger insists that
there shall be thorough investigation
of the disclosures concerning this
federal Judges agency for corporation
concerns.
"Mr. Berger is right. A thorough in
vestigation on this line may open up
investigation with respect to other
federal judges. No one could desire
the further humiliation of the unhap-
ply man who has brought disgrace up
on the bench, but there ought to be no
turning back now that the way has
been opened for inquiry all along the
line"
