JUDGES FEELINGS
BIG FACTOR

i'Here is a side light on judges and
their mental and judicial ways:
When Judge John N. killits, sitting
in Federal court here Is months
ago, sentenced DIR. Frederick A. Cook
to serve Ia years and 8 months II
prison he said in substance: Pm go

Killits didn't even pretend TO be bllnC
when he impersonated justice. Judge
Wilson thinks Judge Killits, whose
home bench is in Toledo, went too fan
and he said so, plainly and emphatl'
cally.
Have Arbitrary Power
Judges who feel just as killits fell
regularly issue injunctions; and they
never stop to ask themselves whether
they feel grouchy or whether they
feel normal when they Issue them
They just go ahead, knowing that they
can do as they like and it's the Gala
boose for anyone that talks back.

about his case because it has GER

interest in courts and Justice.
Head of Oil Concern
Cook was the head of an oil promo.

inspectors swooped down on this place
two years ago. He wasn't getting
any money out of the thing himself
He lived in little hotel room thai
didn't have a bath. He put money
into his own concern. The concern
had a flock of employees of all kinds
They said things in advertisements

fines of $1,000 or less or with jail

Cook is philosophical about it all'
he is even just bit stoical. He has
faith that things will turn out better

he isn't soured. But he does feel

BORAH OBJECTS
 TO INSURGENTS
 BEING CHASTISED
(Ry Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, D. O., Mar. g. The objections by Senator Norris of Nebraska and Wm. F. Borah of Idaho, to the removal by the Republican or ganization of the four insurgents from their committee ranks, prevented the major party from completing it's or ganization Saturday. Senator Borah took the floor immediately after the majority report of the Committee on Committees was presented.
 A Republican conference had ap- proved the program, after some dis cussion, but with practically no oppo- sitiOn.
 Replying to the query by Borah as to why these senators had been ig- nored, Senator Watson said that Sena- tors Lafollette, Ladd, Frazier and Brookhart had been busted because a Senate Republican conference in November had read them out of the party for bolting the ticket in the last election and working against it's can didates, including President Coolidge.

 The House marked time in Satur- days session. Attorney General Rust gard in special transportation report published today, said the shippers in Alaska had saved $600,000 last year by reduced freight rates. He held out no hope for securing a further reduction unless made voluntarily by the steam ship companies. The report offered two remedies, both of which it added are now unavailable. The first men, tioned was a contract between the Alaska Railroad and a single steam ship line. This, he said, was not pos sible, owing to lack of cooperation between government agencies in the Territory. The second suggestion was through an appeal to the Shipping Board. Regarding this Rustgard said after making a personal investigation he was convinced the Board would not give any relief. No mention was made in the report as to the recent raise in passenger rates.

He quietly put on his hat and walked out. We did not quarrel rel at the time. I was then making less than 5000 a year as a commer- cial artist, and was borrowing from my parents to support my daughters. The Doctor used to spend from twenty housand to eighty-six thousand a year on himself and his hobbies, and all lowed me but seven thousand dollars for my household expenses, including servants, automobiles and other ne- cessities, while at the time he had very large income, which was increas- ed by legacies and contributions to his scientific explorations"
 Mortgage on Parker Home
 Continuing, Mrs. Parker said that at the time Herschel left, they were without money and had a mortgage on their home falling due soon. He also left his life insurance premium unpaid, with creditors clamoring for thousands of dollars"
 Mrs. Parker said her husband dis appeared because she got a court or der requiring him to pay her S100 a week for maintenance of the family.
 She related that just before his dis appearance they had planned an exhi- bition of rare collection he had made of early Egyptian gold coins, Roman intaglios, Roman cylinders, ancient glasses and historical figures.
