Data of Judson's Career Here.
Congressman Cary has had prepared
a most interesting abstract of data
about Colonel Judson's career in the
District government, made up of ex-
cerpts from committee hearings, the in
surance investigation of a few months
ago. and other sources.
This abstract, made up of expressions
from people generally highly unfriend-
ly to CoNrel Judson, follows:
On January .. 1913, Senator ]. H.
Gallinser or New Hampshire testi-
fed as follows, at the investigation
of the insurance companies of the
District of Columbia:
This is the first time ] ever have
criticised ColoneI Judson in my life.
In thinking the matter over, Irecalled the
fact that certain prominent citizen of
the District said to me not long ago,
Colonel Judson is a very able man, but
his mind is so queerly constituted that
no one but Infinite Wisdom can under
stand it, Now, l do not know whether
that is SO or not. | think he is little
difficult to understand at times; but
whether 1t Is so OF not, l have come to
the conclusion that his restless spirit,
after he has attended to his affairs as
Commissioner, leads him to interfere
with the business of pretty much every
body else in the District of Columbia.
Colonel Judson is a martinez. He is
military man. He is a dominant man.
He likes 10 control affairs and men,
and, | think, would not transgress the
il ! said that 1 think he is
something of a marplot-as some mill
tary men are. And so he reaches out
and takes control of things which per-
haps he might well leave alone. Now.
because OF this restless activity of
Colonel Judson. this great desire Of his
TO control things, he sometimes gets
the dendrite of the brain a little
twisted. That is rather an unusual
WORD. 'dendrite,' but it was one
learned a great many years ago in a
medical college. and II you will take a
medical dictionary you will find out what
II means. / say that he gets the dem
drlte of his brain little mixed, so
thae he does not see things straight,
nor think along straight lines, nor act
on straight lines.
Had Made Honorable Record.
Now, think of what Colonel Judson
did. Here is a young man who was
supporting his widowed mother and
supporting wife and child He had
made an honorable record. He had
made mistakes. nc doubt, and only
heaven knows who has not made mis-
lakes; l do net know. And get this

rict Of Columbia saying a single word

Colonel Judson went to the extent of
