BY Inc Associated PresS.
ST. LOUIS, March 27.-The con-
gressionai investigation to determine
whether recommendation of i'm
peachment shall be made against
Federal Judge G. w. English, veered
today to the charge that he permitted
his referee in bankruptcy to practice
law before him. Three days have
been devoted to adducing testimony
that the judge was tyrannous, abusive
and oppressive while on the bench
and that he had knowledge of an
arrangement by which his son Faris
collected 9 per cent on bankruptcy
funds deposited in the Union Trust
Co. of East St. Louis.
Through II. w. Blodgett, st. Louis
attorney, 1t was brought out that c.
B. Thomas, appointed referee in bank
ruptcy by Judge English, was called
into the case of the Hawkins Mort
gage Co. in which Judge English is
sued a restraining order while sit
ting in the Federal court at Indian
apolis, Ind, in the absence of Judge
Anderson.
He said Thomas was paid a re-
tainer of $1,000 and that he appeared
in court, one day. although il was
planned to use Thomas also in the
criminal suits against Hawkins.

Blodgett said that the order to
Judge English to preside at the In
dianapolis hearing on a petition for
an injunction in the Hawkins case
was handed to Judge English by NJ.
S. Hawkins himself. Blodgett was
unable to say, he added, how Hawkins
happened to have possession OF the
order.
Paul Carpenter, Indianapolic court

the proceedings IN Judge Anderson's s
court the day the Indiana judge ex-
PEELED Thomas from the Hawkins
case, reprimanded him for having as
sociated himself with 1T. and made
remarks against Judge English.
Representatives Earl c. Michener of
Michigan and Royal J. Keller of New
York objected to introducing the en-
tire transcript with its excortation of
Judge English and insisted that only
such parts that showed Judge Eng
lish's officially appointed referee in
bankruptcy actually had been per-
mitted to practice bankruptcy law
while holding the referees office, be
admitted.

tiOnS.

President Coolidge was told today
nv two members of the Fine Arts
Commission that unless the Presl-
dents medals produced by the Gov
ernment in the future are works OF
art and beauty this custom should be
entirely abandoned.
Charles Moore, chairman of this
commission, who, with James f.
Fraser, a noted sculptor here, CON
ferred with the President said after
ward that the medals of the past
which have been turned out at Fed
eraI mints are crude and void OF
artistic beauty. He said that the
medals should compare with those
by foreign countries and until the
Federal Government decides to do
this he hopes that there will be no
more medals turned loose.
MIR. Moore believes also that the
matter of art should also hold good
in all other medals which are from
time TO time awarded by various de-
nartments of the Government, es-
pecially the War and Navy Depart
ments.
The principal object of this call was
for the purpose of Mr.. Fraser to pay
his respects to the President. He is

z A|RMEN NAMED
FOR HAWAII TRIP
Nayy's Plans for Hawaiian
Flight Taking Shape
Rapidly.

The Navys plans for a nonstop
flight from the Pacific coast to Hawaii
in the next few months. have pro-
gressed to the point where pilots for
one OF three planes TO make the trip
have been selected. There now Is
being built at the Boeing factory, in
Seattle, Wash. a giant seaplane with
a metal hull bearing the designation
PB. 1t originally was intended that
this ship alone should make the trip,
but since the successful performance
of the new PN-S type of boat-sea-
plane two of these will be included
in the expedition.
Lieut.. Comdr James II. Strong, at
tached to the L. S. S. Aroostook, air
craft squadron, battle fleet, and Lieut..
Comdr. Ralph Davidson. who last
year was to have accompanied Roald
Amundsen on his flight across the
North Pole. have been selected to fy
the PB. Rear Admiral william A.
Moffett, chief OF the Bureau of Aero
nautics. now has under consideration
a list of aviators from which will be
picked pilots for the two PMS. The
pilots for the PB were selected by
the commander of the aircraft squad
rons, battle feet.
Trip Set for May or June
The trip, contingent upon the sue
cessful trial performances of the PB
when IT emerges from the factory,
is scheduled TO take place late in
May or June and at a time when
portion OF the battle feet is return
ing to the Pacific coast. The surface
vessels would be spread out in their
journey across from Hawaii and
would act as an airway for the
planes. The flight, therefore, would
be purely an engineering problem,
while If no surface ships were sta
toned in the zone of flight il would
be both engineering and navigation
The big PB is a boat type seaplane
with metal hull and is powered with
two Packard twenty hundred
engines, each having 500 horsepower
They are mounted in tandem, and the
designers claim the plane can stay
in the air on one motor if the other
fails, even though il IS carrying
full load. 1t will have range OF
2,400 miles or more.
The PMS, the first of which com
pleted trials at the naval aircraft
factory in Philadelphia several days
ago, also have. metal hull and are
powered with two Packard fifteen
hundred, motors of $50 horsepower
each. The engines are mounted in
the wings on either side of the hui
