JUDGE DAYTON in DEFENSE.
Makes a General and Categorical Re
futaI Of Impeachment Items.

futaI Of Impeachment Items.
Washington, Feb. 23.-Emphatic
denial Of Impeachment charges pend
ing against him was made today by
Federal Judge A. G. Dayton, of West
Virginia, before the investigation sub
committee of the house judiciary
committee Judge Dayton testified
thruout afternoon and evening ses-
sions and replied in elaborate detail
to the accusations. He prefaced his
statement with an expression Of graft
tude to the committee.
II have rested for several months
under these charges he said. 'T have
been subjected to espionage in my
private affairs, my debts and financial
obligations have been pried into and
constant series of infiammatory ar
ticles has appeared in newspapers.
have endured all this and therefore feel
justified In saying that I appreciate
the courtesy of the committee, in al
lowing me at least to tender a state
ment and proof that will dispel these
charges"
The judge dwelt upon the attitude Of
the United Mine Workers Of America
toward him, referring to cases in
which he decided against that organi-
zation and declaring that he simply
carried out the law without any pre-
judice against union labor"
He said he had in no way sought to
displease Judge John H. jackson, his
predecessor on the bench and speci-
fically denied that he had Joined in Il
campaign with Baltimore & Ohio
railroad officials to force Judge jack
sons resignation or impeachment A
letter was put in evidence from for
mer President Roosevelt dated May
20, 1914, in which the former presi-
dent stated that he instituted an in
vestigation of Judge Jackson on his
own responsibility and appointed
Judge Dayton without solicitation
from any one."
Judge Dayton denied that he had
ever shown favoritism to the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad in litigation In
his court. He said that before his ap-
pointment to the bench he had been a
local attorney for the Baltimore &.
Ohio, but that his sole fee from the
railroad had been an annual pass.
Men connected with the road, he said,
had opposed him in politics. He re-
viewed the legislation before his court
in which his son, Arthur S. Dayton,
appeared as counsel for the road and
declared that he had never favored
either the railroad or his son in any
way. He likewise denied that he had
ever sought to control the selection OF
jurymen in his. court In the interest
of the railroad or that his son had
had cases removed from the state
courts to his court.
The charge that he had manipulated
receiverships and trustees in order to
give them to his personal and political
friends Judge Dayton said had mot
the slightest foundation in fact" and
could be disproved by the court rec
ords.
A large number OF affidavits and
documents supporting his statements
were laid before the committee by the
judge.

PART OF EVELYN CREW LOST.
Thirteen Men Missing and Believed to
Have Perished,


The Hague, Feb. 23.-last night the
thirteen missing men from the Amer-
can steamer Evelyns crew which was
DESTROYED by a mine in the North sea
had not been reported from any point
in Holland.
Inquiries of the coast guard stations
have brought the reply that nothing
has been seen or heard OF that part Of
the crew, who were reported to have
proceeded for Holland after the steamer
was blown up. A dense fog prevailed
thruout yesterday and today along the
coast.
HoIla nd 10 Growing Uneasy.
tense undercurrent OF feeling has
been running thru all classes in Hol-
land for the last two or three days.
This is attributed to public concern ow-
ing to Germany's action in not reply
ing to the Dutch note OF protest con-
cerning the North sea war zone and
nervousness as to what might result
from the German blockade, and sub
marine activity, which possibly might
produce an untoward incident at any
moment.
Altflo vessels belonging to other neu-
trail states have suffered, Dutch ships
have escaped damage. but many sea-
men are demanding increased wages
owing to the risks.
Some Of the men decline to sail and
have left their ships, especially those
bound for England. Numbers OF pas
sengers for the Dutch East Indies have
decided to pass thru Germany to Genoa,
in order to take ship there.
Many Troops on Move.
Even the Dutch fishing boats. by
governmental order, are to be painted
in the national colors, while their
crews have been advised to carry with
them evidences Of their nationality.
The continued movements Of troops
toward the various frontier points and
the constant work Of military engineers
on inundation works have increased the
uneasiness of the people.
The newspapers generally refrain
from commenting on the situation.
