HANPORD RESIGNS;
lLLHBALTH REASON
Federal Judge, Under Investiga-
ton, Sends Resignation to
President Taft.

Judge Cornelius H. Hanford, Of the
Western District Of Washington. in the
Ninth circuit. notified President Taft to-
day that he had rendered his resignation
The formal resignation. he stated, is on
the way in a letter and the President. 1t
was announced at the White House last
night. wall take no action until the docu-
ment reaches his hands.
Representative Victor Berger Of Wis
consin. the Socialist member of the
House. who introduced the resolution.
which was adopted. calling for an investi-
CATION Of charges against the Federal
judge. looking to his impeachment by
the Senate, will take no further steps
Upon learning of the judges action, he
announced that the voluntary resignation
closes the case, SO far as he is concerned,
and that he will take no further proceed
ings.
The case. as laid before the House, is
now before the Judiciary Committee. Of
that body. and Representative Clayton oS
Alabama, chairman of that committee
stated that the resignation did not nee
essarily mean that the Impeachment pro-
ceedings would be dropped. Any further
action In Congress will probably depend
upon the action of the President and
upon the recommendations of the sub
committee OF the Judiciary Committee
which was sent to Seattle to make a pre-
nminary examination into Judge Ham
fords moral and Official conduct while
on the bench. The President is expect
ed to promptly accept the resignation
but the committeeman. who have taken
up the probe. may not be content to al
low the Judge to escape punishment at
the hands Of Congress.
Representative Berger and other Con-
gressmen declared their belief that the
tender Of his resignation was sufficient evil
dence of the judges guilt 1t was stated
at both the Department Of Justice and
the White House that the resignation
was not called for ond that there was
not even an intimation that It was de-
sired. Attorney General wickersham,
however, some time ago overruled a de-
cision of Judge Hanford which formed
the principal ground for Representative
Berger's charges that he was unfit for
office.
Judge Hanford was appointed to the
bench February Is. 1890, and for several
years past there have been complaints
CT his having been addicted to the use
OF liquor. Recently. however the Judge
revoked the naturalization papers of
John Olsson, a native of Sweden. who
was Socialist Judge Hanford's ruling
was based on statements of Olsson that
the Constitutions should be amended 10
meet Socialistic IDEAS holding that OIs-
son was not attached to the Constitu-
tion of the United States" Representa-
tive Berger laid the decision before the
Department of Justice and IL was
overruled
The subcommittee of the Judiciary
Committee. appointed by Chairman Clay
ton. is headed by Representatives era
ham OF Illinois. The committee pro-
ceeded to Seattle and began hearings
about June IS.

EVIDENCE AGAINST GOMEZ
HELD BY FEDERAL AGENTS

Papers which were seized by operatives
Of the Department of Justice in half a
dozen arrests that have been made along
the Mexican border. were said by off,
cials here to-day to give the govern
ment strong case against Emilio Vas
quez Gomez, former provisional presi-
dent OF Mexico. who is being held at
san Antonio. Tex, for alleged violation
of the neutrality laws
Seven arrests in all have been made,
four at San Antonio and three at El
Paso. Information led the special agents
to believe that these men. acting for
the Mexican revolutionists. had arranged
for Quitting part Of an insurrectionary
army. Papers which were found are
said to show an extensive plot for or
ganizing an eSpeditionary force and for
smuggling money into Mexico.
Gomez's case will be presented to the
September grand jury at San Antonio

SCOTT TESTIFIES
PERKINS FUNDS
Former Senator of West Virginia
Tells of Contribution to Roose-
velt's Campaign Fund.

That George W. Perkins contributed to
the Republican national campaign of
1904 was disclosed yesterday by former
Senator Nathan B. Scott. who was one
Of the Executive Committee under Chair
man Cortelyou and in charge of the
speakers bureau. According to Senator
Scott. contribution of $500 was
handed to him by Mr. Perkins to be
used in the campaign in West Virginia
When he was before the Senate COM
mittee that is investigating campaign ex-
penditures in the campaigns OF 1904 and
1905, Chairman Cortelyou testified a few
days ago that he was not aware of any
contribution that had been made by
Mr.. Perkins.
The testimony given before the COM
mittes yesterday by Mr.. Scott did not
contradict anything Mr. Cortelyou had
said because Mr.. Scott admitted that the
contribution made by Mr.. Perkins was
delivered to him personally and sent di-
rect to the State of West Virginia and
never passed through the hands of the
National Committee.
Senator Scott recalled that John ].
McCook also gave $1,000. He said
that so far as his knowledge went
neither ]. p. Morgan nor Henry Have
meyer made contribution to the
campaign fund. The trusts contributed
he explained. because Chairman
issued an order that no money
should be accepted from such sources.
Senator Scott explained that the cam
paign literature used by the committee
n 1904 was furnished by the American
Protective Tariff League but that it was
all paid for ''in good hard cash"
II don't know anything about that
matter" replied Mr.. Scott.
The witness in reply to inquiries said
that he knew of no contributions made
to the committee from the Beef Trust.
OIL Company. or Steel Trust.
or from any one connected with them.
He reiterated that George B. Cortelyou
and Cornelius n. Bliss had made it
very clear to everybody connected with
the committee that contributions from
such sources would not be accepted.
Senator Clapp. chairman OF the conf
mittee, said yesterday that the inves-
tigation would not be concluded before
the election. He said that with the ad-
journment of the present session OF
Congress the investigating committee
would probably suspend its work and
resume it after the campaign is over.

SEEK CONTROL OF OIL COMPANY.
]. d. Rockefeller and Others Would
Oust Pierce.

ST. Louis. July John D Rockefel-
Ter. John D. Archbold and fifteen other
stockholders of the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company. and also Of the Standard Oil
Company. fled petitions in the United
States District court here to-day uphold
ing the suit of Henry NJ. Tilford, a di-
rector Of the Standard on Company. In
the Tilford suit he asked for the ousting
OF H. Clay Pierce and Clay Arthur
Pierce from the control of the Waters
Pierce OIL Company.
The most important affidavit was filed
by Rockefeller. who alleged that he
owned $50 shares of stock and that he
had a legal right to vote them for the
best interests of the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company. He said he had a right to CO.
operate with other stockholders in vot-
ing for directors to look after the best
interests of the company.
He said last fall at the election he gave
his proxies to be voted and said he had
legal right TO give the proxies.
He said he had no intention of trying
to force the Waters-Pierce Company to
become subservient to the Standard
The other affidavits bore out the same
idea as that borne out by Rockefeller.
