ASKS IMPEACHMENT
OF FEDERAL JUDGE
Rock Island Stakeholder Makes
Charge.
CONGRESS Is URGED TO ACT
Petition Filed With House judiciary
Committee Against Judge Carpen-
ter of Chicago--Iowan Will Re-
quest an Inquiry.

Washington, Feb pa petition
asking the impeachment of Judge
George A Carpenter of the United
States court at Chicago has been flied
with the house judiciary committee By
Representative Tinkham of Massa-
chusetts.
MIR. Tinkham filed the petition on
F. Sweeney of Boston, one of his CON
stituents, who charged Judge Carpen-
ter with improper practice in connec-
ton with the Rock Island railroad re-
Ownership. Mr.. Tinkham has told the
members of the committee that he is
not sufficiently informed on the Rock
Island case to say whether or not be
believes the committee should act on
Mr. Sweeneys petition.
The petition, however, has been re-
ferred to Representative Green of
Iowa, who said that the questions in
it were of sufficient Importance to COM
mand the attention of the house COM
mittee. Mr.. Green intimated that he
probably would take charge of the
case and ask the committee either to
investigate Judge Carpenter or the
present receivership of the Rock
Island or both.
Mr.. Sweeney in his petition says
that in 1902 he bought $4,000 worth
of Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail
road per cent bonds, paying $500
for them.
The compliments principal conten-
ton is that Judge Carpenter knowingly
appointed as receivers men who were
friendly to the Moore-Reid group,
which had been charged by the inter
state commerce commission with ex-
plotting the Rock Island.
The petition also draws attention to
the fact that a receivership was asked
on a claim of $4,000 in the case of a
property worth anywhere from $780,
100000 to $500,000,000.
1t is charged that there is plan on
foot to bring about foreclosure on the
company's stock and restore control to
the Moore-Reid syndicate.

WaImer and Lowestoft.


London, Feb. 22.--"Te Deum lau-
damus! We praise, Thee, Oh God"
sang the congregation of a church at
Walmer, little town on the Kentish
coast ten miles north of Dover, toward
the close of the service Sunday morn
ing. Suddenly a loud explosion just
outside the edifice interrupted the sing
ing of the hymn of thanksgiving and
threw the congregation into panic.
Every window in the church was
blown in.
1.-THE Zeppelins!" was the cry among
the church people as they rushed into
the street. Soaring overhead were two
German seaplanes, less than two-thirds
of mile high, dropping bombs on the
town at intervals of few minutes. Be-
fore the raiders turned back over the
channel they had killed two men and
boy and wounded a British marine.

JUDGE FREES SIX
EASTLAND OWNERS
Federal JuriSt at Grand Rapids
Makes Ruling.
ESCAPE TRIAL AT CHICAGO
"Evidence Wholly Fails to Establish
Cause for Believing These Men
Guilty" Decision of Judge
Sessions.
ESCAPE TRIAL AT CHICAGO

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 21.-Six
men charged by the government with
responsibility for the loss of more than
500 lives in the Eastland disaster do
not have to go to Chicago to stand
trial.
This decision was handed down on
Friday by Federal Judge Clarence W..
Sessions, sitting as a commissioner
in the district court here. He denied
the governments application for
warrant of removal for the defend
ants, all of whom live in Michigan.
The finding of the court means
practically that none of the defend
ants will ever be placed on trial by
the government. There is a POSSIBLE
ity that if any of them journey into
other states than Michigan they may
be seized and another attempt at ex-
tradition made, but it is declared TO
be a remote one.
The men, indicted here, who fought
extradition and defeated the govern
ment are William H. Hull, president
of the St. Joseph Chicago Steamship
company; George T. Arnold, general
manager; Harry Petersen, captain;
Joseph NJ Erickson, chief engineer
and Robert Reid and Charles G. Eek
lift, federal inspectors.
Judge Sessions, in his opinion, said
the government had failed utterly in
all attempts to show conspiracy and
negligence.
In making his decision the judge
said:
The dead cannot be restored to
life. The sorrows of the living can
not be lessened by claiming other vic
Tins. The majesty of the law cannot
be upheld and indicated by taking
men from their homes to stand trial
among strangers upon accusations
which there is barely a scintilla OF
proof to sustain. The evidence In
this matter wholly fails to establish
the probable cause for believing any
of these defendants guilty of any
crime charged in the indictments"
