|S A DISGRACE
 ID THE BENCH
Judge Humphries is Severely Criticised by Judge Smith
 in Interview.

Seattle, Oct. i.--SuperiOr Judge smith, in an interview printed in an evening paper yesterday, de- nounced Judge Humphries ill the strongest manner and said he was disgrace to the bench and should be removed.
 The criticism of Judge Hum- phries is in connection with his recent order causing the arrest of one hundred Socialists for cir culating a petition which he be- litNed reflected diScredit on him as a judge. The arrest of the Socialists caused several hun- dred others to defy him by sign ing the pctilion. The Socialists were tried before lIumphrirs and found guilty of contempt and heavy fines were imposed. Many of the accused have refused to pay the fines and are serving their time in the local jail.
 The opinion of the local press is divided in commenting on the affair. The Times is supporting Judge 1umphriss, while the oth- rr papers are asking for fair play regardless of their political faith. It is generally conceded that Judge Humphries has out lived his usefulness on the bench and will either resign OF be fore eel to do SO. as was the case with Judge IIanfOrd

 na AumuIler.

New York, Oct. i.--Hans ISchmidt, the priest, has been found guilty by the coroner's jury of having caused the death of Anna Aumuller, the young wom- an whose headlesS body was picked up on Hudson beach.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The War department is negotiating the sale of the Alaska military telegraph and cable lines to the Postal de- pertinent, as the War department
 is .desirous of taking the men now used at the different cable stations and using them at diff

 the army along with the constant complaint of politicians that the army costs the people too much
 to maintain. and the refusal tu

 prnvrnlrnt> done by them in all parts of the country. especially the rnnsIructiun of large public works, he maintaining of wire less ,trlegraphir and cable cum- municatainn in Alaska and the Philippines, has , caused the heads of the department to seek
 to relieve the army of many of
 it's duties not directly connected wit h military operations.

 some lime and has had an audit
