Wild game birds are the property Of

tinental law. On this principle Of COM

try have enacted their laws. But
what Of birds that alight but short
time within one state, then nv to am

they not the property Of the people

for them. the migratory birds Of the

the American Game Protection and
Propagation association argued before
the senate committee that, though the
title to the migratory birds has never
been adjudicated.. common sense
would suggest that It belongs to the
federal government, and the authori-
ties at Washington should give ample
protection to this fast vanishing wild
nfe.

Lizzie Baker and Mary Golfer appear
ed in the Police Court here on the
charge Of throwing Ratchet at Prime
Minister Asqnith, of attempting to set
FIRE to a theater and of having in their
possession infammables for Illegal
purposes. All the accused were COM
mitted for trial.
The police testified thgt q canister
which apparently contained gunpow-
der had been exploded in the theater.
They had found on Gladys Evans a
bag Of gunpowder, portion of the
theater carpet saturated with petrol
cum and basket full of lighters.
Three bottles of benzine and a tin
OF gunpowder also had been discovered
by the police authorities Their testi-
mony brought out the fact that many
lives had been endangered by the fire.
The Leigh woman admitted hurting
the Ratchet at Mr.. Asquith's carriage.
In all eight women were arrested
in connection with the outrages per-
petrated here on the arrival of Mr..
AsQuith, by the suffragettes, who have
been constantly DIGGING the heels of
the British Premier since he left Eng
land.
The women are charged with COM
plicity in the attempt to burn down
the Dublin Theater, where Mr.. AsQuith
was scheduled to speak. A blazing
chair was thrown into the orchestra
from box occupied by two women,
who then set fire to the box curtains.
Their act caused panic among the
audience.
Mary Leigh has been a leader in the
violent tactics adopted by the militant
suffragettes. AS far back as July,
1900, she was arrested for breaking
windows In suffragettes' demonstra-
ton in London. At that time, on be-
ing sentenced to two months inn
prisonment at hard labor, she told the
court that "the next time we come out

JUDGE HANFORD
OUT; CASE ENDS
Climax In Congressional inquiry
at Seattle.
TRIAL WILL BE DROPPED.
Chairman OF House Investigating
Committee Says Main Object
Has Been Accom-
plished.

Washington. Chairman Henry D.
Clayton, of the House Judiciary Com
mittee, announced that he considered
unnecessary further impeachment pro
ceedings against Federal Judge Cor
nelius H Hanford, of Washington,
who has resigned.
In lengthy statement Chairman
Clayton declared that while Congress-
had the power to try a Federal official
for impeachment after he had resign
ed, he did not believe that course
necessary in this case.
Chairman Clayton instructed the
subcommittee. now in Seattle taking
testimony in the Hanford case, to dis
continue its work.
He received the following message
from Representative Graham, chair
man of the subcommittee:
Judge Hanford has just forwarded
his resignation to the Attorney-Ge
eral. We are not quite done taking
testimony, but nearly so. The sub
committee unanimously favors to dis
continue the taking of further tesIi-
mony."
In his statement Chairman Clayton
cited the precedent of the case of Sec
retary of War Belknap, who was ims
peached and tried by the Senate after
his resignation had been accepted by
President Grant. The articles of Inn
parchment against Belknap failed to-
receive the necessary two-thirds vote
in the Senate.
In conclusion Mr.. Clayton said;
"The main object of impeachment
being to get rid of an unfaithful offs
Ger, having been accomplished in this
case by the resignation of Judge HansS
ford. If it Is true that he was unfaith-6
full, there seems to be no necessity fcI4l
impeaching him in order to disqualifs
him from hereafter holding any Office
Of honor or profit under the United
States.
II take it that no President will ever
appoint him and no constituency
would ever elect him to any office Of
honor or profit. OF course there Will
be no formal action on the part OF the
Committee on the Judiciary until a.
report Is made by the subcommittee
which / appointed to investigate the
alleged misconduct of Judge Hanford. :,
N Word OF the resignation OF Judge
Hanford was received here with SUR
prise.
Representative Berger, the Socialist
member from Wisconsin, who intro
duced the resolution that began the
impeachment inquiry of Judge Han
ford's conduct, announced he would
drop the matter.
1T closes the case SO far as i am
concerned" he said. II take Judge
Hanford's resignation as an admission
Of guilt, It cannot be construed other
