MONDELL SUBMITS
BILL TO EXPE Ell.
BLANT0N OF TEXAS
Republican Leaders Ask the
Expulsion Texas Represen-
tative From Congress.

WASHINGTON, oct. 25.-Expulson
by the house Of representatives of
Thomas l.. Blanton. democrat, Texas,
was called for in a resolution intro
duced today by Representative Mon
dell. the republican leader
The ground for the move to expel
was publication in the Congressional
Record as part of an extension of re-
marks by Blanton of an affidavit re-
lating to row at the government
printing office which affidavit was
characterized by some house members
as obscene and unfit for transmission
through the mails.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Mon
dell follows
Whereas, Thomas l.. Blanton, re-
preventative from the Seventeenth
district Of the State of Texas. did on
October 4. 1921, ask unanimous CON
sent TO extend his remarks in the con.
gressional record upon the improve
ments in the government printing Of
flee, which consent was granted by he
house and
Whereas, under such permission
the said Thomas l.. Blanton did insert
and cause to be printed in the Con.
gressional Record for Saturday. Oct.
22, 1921, grossly indecent and obscene
language unworthy of a member of
the bouse OF representatives, con.
trary to the rule Of the house, dcro.
gatory 10 its dignity, and in violation
of its character"
Word had been sent to Mr.. Blanton's
office, he said. that the resolution
would be introduced.
But he did not answer to his
name" Mr.. Mondell said. as the
gentleman from Texas present." he
asked.
There was no response.
This is very serious matter" the
republican leader continued but 1t
does not appear to be seemly to pro-
ceed with its consideration in his alb.
sence."
Mr.. Mondell then gave notice that
II would be called up again tomorrow
but on the suggestion of Representa-.
t'' ''aiiNAN vi ltHlltSStt,
leader. the time for q vote on the re-
solution was fixed for noon Thursday
Another resolution for Blanton's ex.
pulsion was prepared by Representa-.
tive Mclaughlin. republican. Nebraska.
and was about TO be- dropped into the
house hopper when Mr.. Mclaughlin
was informed that one would be pre-
scnted Oy Mr.. Mondell
The Nebraskan's resolution charged
that publication of the offending affi.
davit in the record made it unmail.
able" and also charged hat members
Of congress were liable to crlmh1S
prosecution and punishment" if thvy
knowingly had caused it to be mailed.
An announcement was made that the
Texas delegation would meet tomorrow
"a act on the Blanton case There was
a suggestion from some democrats [
thar the resolution Of expulsion be
amended TO censure only.
Enquiries AT Representative Ban-
tons office as TO the congressman's
Whereabouts brought forth that he
had gone to Wheeling. W. Va. to
mstre an address. The representative.
whose home is in Abilene Texas. is
serving his third term in congress. BY
a -strange coincidence, today is his
birthday.

JUDGE HAS
SENTENCED ONLY TWO
IN 500 BOYS CASES

Il am not much of IA my broth.
er's keeper man" said Judge John G.
Pollock today who is here presiding
nj this session of the federal court,
but when cases come in contact
with your work, then l believe in
the doctrine that man is his broth.
ers keeper
For instance in my twenty years
or more on the bench | handled as
many as 500 cases Of boys and out Of
this number only two have been sent
to the penitentiary. In these cases
the boys seemed TO be natural Grim.
inals ana there was nothing left to
be done except to imprlson them.
But in almost every case where
boy is turned loose and asked 10
appear at the next term of court for
sentence, reminding him that his con.
duct between that time and the con.
venlng of the next court will have
much to do with the kind of sen.
tence he gets. he stays out of trouble.
| have handled these cases and held
boys down until their habits were
formed and these boys are now in
banks and in other responsible places.
Had they been sent away TO prison
they would have looked upon them
selves as criminals, they would have
been ciassed as criminals by men
who know them and they would have
been criminals
Formerly Lived on Kansas
Judge Pollock formerly lived in
Winfield. Kansas, and ii was while
residing there that he was placed
on the supreme bench of his state and
under the administration Of Theodore
Roosevelt lie was made a United States
district judge and has held the place
since that time. He has handled many
of the celebrated Indian Territory
cases Tor the reason that the juris-
diction of the court al Wichita, Kan.
sas, was extended over this country.
Judge Pollock presided in the cele-
brated case of the United states VS.
Antono Cahi which came from Pauis
Valley in Indian Territory. In this
case for the first time it was estab-
lished that the orders OF the heads of
h'pit NiltitS Ht'biilt a part vi tHt HlN
OF the land.
Has Presided Over Famous Cases
Another case in which he presided
was known os the Nellie Bailey case
that came from this country Nellie
Bailey was charged with having kill
ed u cow-man. She was said to have
done the shooting with a "A calibr.
gun. She was Il small delicate look
ing woman and the jury decided that
she did NOT have the physical strength
to use such gun and turned her
loose. Indians used as witnesses how.
ever testified that they had seen the |
ride rapidly on horseback and |
shoot the tops from weeds with her
pistol.
Three times he presided nj Wichita !
when Clyde Mattox was tried for
murder and he sent Bill Creekmore .
10 the penitentary.
Judge Pollocl. win be here until the
docket OF the present session Of the
federal court is exhausted which will
)e sometime next week. He has serv-
d 90 years on the federal bench and
