 The resolution says: "The con- duct of Judge l.andis engaging in private employment and accepting private emclument while holding the position of Federal Judge and re- ceiving salary from the Federal Government meets with our unquali- we'd condemnation, as unworthy of the office of judge, derogatory to the dignity of the bench and un- dermining public confidence in inde- pendence of the judiciary"

SAN JOSE. Cal, Sept 2,-"A "spurned woman" is blamed by Rev John A. Spencer, former Santa Rosa preacher, for having caused his ar. rest on warrant charging wife mur. der and his subsequent indictment yesterday by the special grand jury at Lakeport. Spencer, in advancing this theory, again asserted he was innocent of any attempt to kill his wife. Mrs. Spencer was reported to have drowned in Clear Lake, Lake county, last July g.. Thirty-six hours later her body was buried. There after certain reports reached Lake county officials. the body was ex- humed and following an autopsy a warrant charging the former minis. ter with murder was issued.
 Spencer named the "spurned wo- man." as he termed her. He said he and his wife had lived for a time in the home of this woman at Santa Rosa and quarreled with her con- corning an account. Later, he said, the woman made overtures of affec- tion. which he spurned.

Democratic Chairman May Seek to Redeem Buck
 eye State for Cox. PLANS ON RUNNING
 FOR GOyERNORSHIP Resignation May Be An nounccd at Democratic
 Meeting Next Month.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-Georg. White, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is said to be considering the presentation of his resignation to the committee wher it conducts it's next meeting. in De tober He will do so, according tt the information among Democfa t politicians. if he aecides to become | candidate for governor of One nex' yefl.
 MT White is enc of three promi ncntly discussed for the gubern tori al nomination, the others being .I'id son Harmon, former governor; HuGl l.. Nichols. foC:cer chief justice ol the Ohio supreme court, and A. V Donahey Democratic nominee at the last election.
 If Mr. Harmon, who is in Europe desires to run he probably will not have opposition, it is said here, but the chances are said to be against his becoming a candidate. An an nouncement is expected when he re turns from abroad.
 Close friends of MT. White say that if Mr. Harmon decides not to enter the race the chairman will be a candidate because of the bearing it will have upon national politics. MT. White. being a first lieutenant of James M Cox, Democratic presiden- tial nominee at the 1920 election. seeks to redeem OhiO if possible, for the Cox forces so that his chieftain may not be smothered out of the running as defeated candidate when it comes time again, in three years, to select another presidential 
 Even if Mir White decides to re- tain the chairmanship it is believed that fight will develop when the committee meets. There is an ele- ment in the committee particularly that is devoted to interests of Will liam C. McAdoo which would like to see one of it's number at the head of affairs to gain such advantages as go with the direction of the commit tee. Any such movement, of course, would be opposed by the supporters of MT. Cox, Mitchell Palmer and Sen ator Oscar w. Underwood. Alabama. all of whom still are aniong the pos abilities for the next presidential nomination.
