MAY HAVE Been DUE TO
PRESSURE FROM TAFT
Impeachment Proceedings Had
Been Started Against Fed
eral Juiist in Seattle
HEARING MAY BE ENDED
Committee From Lower House
of Congress Had Been Hear
ing Charges Against Him

SEATTLE Wash. July 2s.-Federa
Judge Cornelius Hanford has tele-
graphed his resignation 10 President
Taft.
This action, taken suddenly today,
halted the impeachment investigation
by committee from the lower house
OF congress which was ordered by the
adoption OF a resolution introduced Dy
Congressman Berger, OF Wisconsin.
In his telegram TO the president
Judge Hartford gave his reason fol
resigning that he cannot stand the
strain under which he is compelled 10
work now and that he desires TO re-
tire.
IL was admitted during the morning
that evidence Nes brought out SatuF-
day against Hanford involving him IN
a financial deal with the Northern Pa
cific railroad.
The effect of the resignation upon
the impeachment proceedings is UNI
certain AS soon as the judges reslS-
nation was announced Chairman
Graham adjourned the hearing and II
is stated that nothing further regard
ing the probe will be done until the
committee hears from the house OF
representatives as 10 whether 10 con-
tinue work.
The events leading up TO the resig-
nation came rapidly. Following re-
ports that further sensational evidence
against the Judge was about 10 be pro-
duced. Judge Hanford himself ana

peared at the federal building ana

committee taking testimony lmmedl-
ately there was a rumor that Presh
dent Taft had asked Hanford 10 re-
sign. but none OF those in authority
would discuss IL. At 1890 q. m. after
brief conference, Hanford, Hughes
and Chairman Graham of the congress
sional committee went TO the tele-
prauh Office and shortly thereafter 1t
became known that the Judge had teie-
graphed his resignation. Fifteen MIN
ltes later Graham returned and adj
iourned the session OF the committee
WASHINGTON, July 22.-When
told this afternoon Of the resignation
OF Federal Judge Hanford at Seattle
Rep. Victor Berger. the Wisconsin So
cialist. who introduced the resolution

proceedings against him, said
Il take Judge Hanford's resignation
as an admission of his guilt But In

The HanfoTd case and the Arch-
bald case are arguments for the re-
call OF Judges. II would be mighty
good thing II couple Of dozen mHre
federal judges would resign or be re-
called By the people. The present
system OF Impeachment is unsatiafac-
tory, cumbersome and costly.
The fact that Hanford mas re
