JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
CLEARS VANDEVANTER
Charges Against Supreme Court JUS
tice Discussed by House Legal
Body.

The House Committee on Judiciary
passed a resolution yesterday declaring
that there is no foundation for any pro-
ceedings against Mr.. Justice Vandevan-
ter" of the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The passage OF the resolution was the
result of a reference TO the committee OF
a petition of d. T. Blodgett, OF Des
Moines, Iowa, asking that impeachment
proceedings be instituted against the Su-
preme Court justice.
Blodgett is now in prison In Iowa, hav-
ing been convicted OF forgery, and
claimed that Mr.. Justice Vandevanter
committed impeaehable offenses in refus-
ing to grant Blodgett writ of habeas
corpus. Blodgett claimed that he had
twice been put in jeopardy for the same
offense when his application for writ
was denied by Judge Vandevanter.
Chairman Clayton of the committee de-
clared he and his colleagues fully ap-
proved the course taken by Justice Van
deyanter in his Interpretation Of the law
which was exactly Identical with the
course of all the other judges who handled
the case. Some of the members Of the
committee declared that they were indig-
nant that such an opportunity should be
offered to SANDER a judge Of the highest
court.

WASHINGTON IS NOW
NEARLY BUILT OUT"
Population Practically Taken Care Of
by Present Number Of Buildings,
Says Inspector Hacker.

That Washington's population is prac-
tically fully taken care Of by the pres
ent number of buildings in the city and
its suburbs and is. therefore, nearly
"buil: out was one of the comments
made by Morris Hacker, Building In
spectOr for the District, yesterday, upon
a recent report contained in the Ameri-
can Contractor, in which Washington is
shown to have the largest percentage of
decrease in building operations OF a list
of sixty-six of the larger cities. The
building construction decrease for the
past year for the Capital is listed at
s. per cent. The next decrease recorded
is q per cent. against Denver.
Washington has more Of a fixed pop
ulation." Mr. Hacker said, (which is not
likely to show any especial increase from
year to year as long as there are no
growing industries here to invite the out
slider. We are, it might be said, built
out"
Mr.. Hacker went on to explain that
Washington now has sufficient apartment
house room TO accommodate most Of the
people who have occasion to make their
homes in this city, and that the prin-
cipal building that is going on now is
that being undertaken by individual
home seekers, who are following the
fashionable tide far out in the North
west section.
