County Jurist

Harrisburg, Pa, March 12.-Cornel-
ius F. Foley, lawyer, of Pottsville,

the house of representatives, asking
that a committee be named to investi.
gate charges against Judge Charles
N. Brumm, of Schuylkil county, and
that, If they are substantiated, i'm
parchment proceedings be started.
Foley alleges that since Judge
Brumm took Office in January, 1909,
he has been biased, prejudiced and
unfair in his judgments in determin'
ing matters heard by him, especially
when attorneys or litigants he dislikes
appeared before him."
A committee of the house is now in
vestigating charges made agains'
Judge H. A. Fuller, of Luzerne county,
by Thomas D. Shea. Speaker Alter
said that he had not yet had time to
examine the charges.
The charges, in brief, are what Fo
ley filed against Brumm at the meet
ing of the Catlin commission in Phila
delphia in December. 1911. 1t is al
legged that Judge Brumm has conduct
ed his office in an arbitrary manner,
that he had been biased, unfair and
prejudiced in determination of cases i;
that he has given unfair advantage to
attorneys; that he insists upon juries
adopting his views; that he is discour.
teous to members of the bar; that he

MEXICAN POLICY

no CHANGES CONTEMPLATED
Recognition of Huerta Government
Will Probably Be Delayed Until At
ter an Election In Mexico.

Washington, March 1.-THE recog.
milton of the Huerta government in
Mexico is now squarely up to the Viii.
son administration, inasmuch as the
United States has been asked to re-
ceive Senior Babasa, who has been
named for the post of ambassador at
Washington.
Consent to receive Senior Babasa az
ambassador would of course be equiv.
alent to recognition of the new gov.
ernment Secretary of State Bryan
refused to discuss this question, just
as he also declined to discuss any mat
ter of foreign relations.
The impression is that recognition
will be deferred until there has been
an election in Mexico. No changes
will be made in the disposition of any
troops now in the Mexican border, il
was announced by Secretary of Wal
Garrison.
The secretary made his announce
ment after receiving a report from
who was ordered to make an inspec
ton of the American forces on the
border, with a view of withdrawing
the soldiers from the actual boundary
line if possible.
General Bliss reported that none Of
the American patrols is any nearer
the international boundary line thar
is absolutely necessary. Even at Doug
las, Ariz., where the situation is most
critical at present, none of the Ameri
can troops are under observation from
the Mexican side. General Bliss stated
in his report that the American troops
are performing their difficult duty witt
great discretion.
The battleships now at Mexican
ports will remain there indefinitely
In fact the policy of the United State.
toward Mexico will remain precisely
the same, so far as the show of the
strong hand is concerned. as it was
under Taft.
If at any time there had been any
other purpose cherished by Presiden
Wilson or any of his advisers, theil
responsibility to public sentiment ant
to the business interests of the coun
trv, it is explained, would have quick
ly convinced them of the wisdom Of
continuing the same attitude TOWARD
Mexico as the Taft administration.
Postmaster General Burleson, who
remained with the president for some
time after the cabinet meeting, late
gave his opinion of Mr.. Taft's ordel
placing $4,000 third and fourth clas:
postmasters in the classified service.
1.-THE policy of the administration
toward that order has not been deter
Mined" said Mr.. Burleson. Person
ally I am in sympathy with it, but
do not believe it went far enough, II
that many men retained Office for pc
litical reasons instead of having Il

been required"

GOMEZ AND AMNESTY BILL

Cuban President Doesn't Veto Meas.
ure, But Suggests Changes.
Havana, March 12.-President Go
mez did not veto the amnesty bill to
which the United States, through Sec
rotary of State Bryan, SO strenuously
objected.
President Gomez returned it to the
Cuban congress without his signature,
accompanying it with message re-
commencing several changes.
Among other things the president
suggested that the measure make
clearer the provisions extending am
nesty to prisoners who have injured
American interests. Such persons, the
president said, should be made to
make full compensation before benefit
ing by the bill.
