RETIRES
From Bench Does LaCOmbG,
Famous Federal Judge

New York, Feb. 12-Judge Emil
Henry Lacombe, senior Judge of the
u. S. circuit court in this district, re-
tires from the bench on Tuesday
next He has served almost thirty
years on the federal bench. He has
passed his SEVENTEEN birthday, and
intends to make long tour of the
western and southern states and the
West Indies while his health is good.
Judge Lacombe has been familiar
figure in the federal courts for a
long time. Tall and slim, with old
fashioned side whiskers, he has been
one of the picturesque of judges
Generally he wears light clothing of
q cut that ignores the dictates OF
fashion. AS he enters and leaves the
court house, he seeks to avoid crowds
and wants to be let entirely alone.
But this quiet man has been en-
gagged for years in the deepest and
most involved of corporation cases.
He played an important part in the
acquisition by the city of the control
of the sources of its water supply by
condemnation proceedings, and in
1883 he drew up the aqueduct act,
which is model of it's kind. AS cor
poration council for the city, he did
other notable work, previous to his
appointment by President Cleveland
to the federal bench.
The Judge is of French descent, his
grandfather having been a refugee
from San Domingo. When young La
combe completed his law courses, he
was made an assistant by William G.
Whitney, corporation counsel. That
was at the time of the exposure of
the Tweed ring and the unraveling
of frauds In this work Lacombe had
an important part, and he acquired
skill which has stood him in good
stead in other cumbrous financial
cases.
Since he came to the federal bench,
Judge Lacombe has handled many i'm
portant cases. Among them was the
S0-cent gas case, the Metropolitan re-
ceivership and the Tobacco Trust dis
solution. In the first he showed the
natural conservatism of his mind by
restraining the attorney general and
the district attorney from trying to
enforce the penalties against the gas
company under the 80-cent law, and
he also created good deal of criti-
cism by taking the handling of the
street car situation of the city from
the public service commission
thorugh the appointment of federal
receivers for the old New York City
Railway Company. Judge Lacombe
is Just winding up the protracted
traction litigation.
In 1905 an attempt was made to
| impeach Judge Lacombe before the
judiciary committee of congress, and
the unusual nature of the proceeding
aroused a good deal of interest. John
E. Dubois, manufacturer who was
suing New York for infringement OF
patent in the work Of building the
Brooklyn bridge, brought the charges
but there was SO little to them that
the committee threw them out with
out calling on the Judge to answer

To the Democratic Electors of
North Dakota:
Having filed my petition for nomi-
nation as Governor with the Secretary
Of State, it is fitting that | should
say to the Democrats of the State of
North Dakota that their vote and in
tiuence will be appreciated in event
that my candidacy meets with their
approval.
| realize that the service OF no one
man is indispensable, yet | believe
my experience as a legislator with
men and measures justities me in
thinking that | could serve in the
capacity as Governor with profit to
the State. My record in the North
Dakota Senate is public property and
speaks louder than would any pro-
nouncement in the way Of a platform.
The public happiness is the true OBJ
jact of Legislation and can be secured
only by the masses of mankind, them
selves awakened to a knowledge and
care of their own interests. The one
great issue which o~vershadows and
includes all others is the encroach-
ment of the powerful few on the
rights of the many. All the issues
OF today are phases OF this one great
question. How shall the individual

only way that we can Judge a man

connection with crucial measures. A
great many public servants are seek
