To the People of the Thirteenth Judi
cial District:
The undersigned, citizens of Jules
burg and Sedgwick County, having
learned that it is being generally rep
resented throughout the District that
this section is apathetic and neutral
with relation to the movement in pro-
gress to bring about the recall of Dis
trict Judge H. P Burke and District
Attorney Van Bradt, on account of
their action in the recent case of the
People VS.. Sasse, take this method to
most emphatically repudiate that
We have familiariZed
ourselves with the case under discus
sion and are absolutely convinced that
both of these officials acted therein
honestly and conscientiously upon
both the law and the facts; that they
their duties fairly and
with respect thereto. and
are deserving of the united support

provides that if he dismisses a case
OF this kind, he must file in writing

an Indictment might be returned

Mr.. Avery, l feel that it would not be

slightest. l feel like you must have
come into the case under proper cir
cumstances, and that you have simply

the circumstances.
MIR. REDMOND: II your Honor

withdrawal of both attorneys from

THE COURT: Do you ask to with
further appearance in the case.
MIR. REDMOND: Yes
THE COURT: You may do so.
MR.. AVERY: l intended so to state.
THE COURT: I took it you meant
that to apply to the attorneys in the
case.
MIR. VAN BRADT: want to say
that I heartily concur in what has
been said in regard to Mr. Avery's ap-
pearance in this case. He has been
absolutely fair. In regard to the call
ing of grand jury, the duty would
devolve back on the District Attorney,
and it would remain for the District
Attorney again to appoint somebody
outside of his office and against his
conscience to conduct matter that
dent believe should be carried on any
further than it has up to this point.
All the possible testimony is before
the Court, and I have listened to it
very carefully. and from what know

SENATOR LODGES OPINION

Henry Cabot Lodge is not only a
ripe scholar who knows his interna-
tional history from the textbooks
of all nations; he is a statesman who
from his many years of command
ing prominence in the Foreign Re-
lations Committee of the United
States Senate has been an influential
and powerful factor in making inter
national history. What Senator
Lodge is quoted yesterday in the
New York World as saying about
the Lusitania horror, therefore
should be of large interest and
peculiar value to the American peo-
pie in general and to their Chief
Magistrate in particular:
An American citizen lawfully in
foreign country or on n foreign ship
Is entitled to the protection of his
Government. The fact that an
American citizen is in the country
or on the ship Of belligerert does
not give an opposing belligerent the
right to Kill him wantonly and with
out proVoCaton.
The destruction OF non-combatant
and neutral passengers upon an un-
armed h"lligerent-ownedt merchant
snip without warning or resistance
has been hitherto unknown in war
fare between civilized nations.
1t does not seem to me that we
should accept such a brutal doctrine
as this implies or that we should in
silence suffer our citizens entitled to
our protection to be killed in this
mr. a ,l.,Y,,
and redress for such a wrong.
Senator Lodge speaks out of hi.
long experience at statecraft. The
ear that does not heed his word.
probably would be deaf to the voice
of all government and all law.
