The vote to impeach Judge Earth
for suppression of the press and the
irregularity Of jury panels was so
emphatic that the board of man.
ayers will use unusual zeal and care
fulness in the preparation Of the
articles of impeachment, so that no
technicality may block a complete
trial before the Senate on the truth
or falsity Of the charges.
No trial can be held before ten
days notice. If the articles are filed
Thursday, it is not probable that
trial will be fixed before March Is,
with the Senate recessing untM that
time to resume as a trial court.
The board of managers of the i'm
parchment are also impressed by
the fact that this is the first time
any Judge has been impeached on
the direct charge that he had used
his power to set aside the bill Of
rights.
Broad Question Arises
Other impeachments, in State
Legislatures and before Congress,
have been based upon charges OF
personal gain from official acts or
upon personal conduct incompatible
with the. dignity of courts. The
Dearth impeachment re-raises the
broad issue of the inviolability OF the
Constitution and the power of the
people, through the Legislature, to
safeguard the Constitutional guaran-
tee Of free speech.
The report of Judiciary A Commit
tee to the House upon which Dearth
was impeached follows:
This committee held a public hear
ing the chamber Of the House of
Representatives Monday evening,
Feb. 20, 1927, and considered the
petition introduced by Representa-
tive John w. Scott on behalf Of GER
tain citizens of Delaware County.

Many witnesses came before this
committee and presented statements
in support of the charges made in
this petition. Clell Maple, a man
ufacturer of Muncie, Ind, stated that
Circuit Judge Clarence w. Dearth
had told him personally that he
would procure a grand jury which
would report to him on such facts

Tells Financial Condition
Gordon Braylev, representative OF
the Leavitt Company, then outlined
the present financial condition of
the gas firm and the plans of its
financing.
1--WE took over the financing of
the company with the agreement TO
finance the entire project to the
fullest extent necessary to equip
the entire valley with q gas supply,
not only in the towns but in the out
lying districts az we'll. Estimates
of engineers place the cost of IN
stalling this system ut considerably
more than 100000.
"a stock sale in the valley when
| we began was not deemed an ad-
visabe move so our company imme-
diately began campaign TO inter
est outside money. As Il result the
balance sheet shows that more than
100000 has been expended already
by the company.
"With a virtually completed
plant in the northeast part of town
it is both sound and desirable that
opportunity to share in the earning
| capacity of the gas company should
hn offered to people of Ell Centre.
The plan under which this is ar
ranged is largely following the tried
and successful consumer-ownership
methods Of various public service
corporations of California.
"To this end representatives of
the +. D. Leavitt company and en-
ployes of the local gas company are
planning to make available to pres
cnt and future customers of the gas
company. stock of both classes.
This is an unusual opportunity TO
secure common stock in utility

with more than 100000 of
outside capital interested the com
panv has been able to prove us
good faith and give valley residents
q tangible idea of its possibilities.
More outside capital will be avail
able as soon as interest and conf
dcnce is shown in the project by
local people.
President Burkhart went further
into detail regarding the plant.
'El Centre will be furnished with
gas first and with material needed
to complete the construction of the
plant ordered and pipe for laying
the remaining mains and service on
the grounds now, it should be but
short time before the people of ri
Centre will be supplied with gas, .

Gas Co. 1t was a picture not of
the valley today but of tomorrow.
II pictured happy homes with fam
lily groups gathered about in rooms,
marked by chilliness in the atmos-
phere despite the beating of a swell
tering July sun on the roofs of the
dwellings. The picture was not an
idle fantasy, but glance into the
possibilities brought into the valley
with the advent of the gas plant.
The speaker was Ii. w. Burkhart,
president Of the company. He was
pointing to the latest experiments
conducted by large gas corporations
of the east. He cited as an exam
pie the work of the Consolidated
Gas Co. of New York and the Ser
Vel Corporation in putting on the
market gas refrigeration system.
lee can be manufactured and rooms,
equipped with special cooling facii-
tiles can be kept chilled in the hot
test of climates.
President Burkbart pointed to
these possibilities as ventures which
the company will undertake in the
near future, then he returned to the
work of the moment, the task OF
first feeding manufactured gas 70
every point in the valley from the
now nearly completed plant located
in FL CentrO.
He outlined briefly the history of
the company since its organization
III November of 1925.
''As first step in this work we
secured easements and rights OF
way formely owned by the Holton
Power company and the Imperial
Valley Gas company. These ac.
quired, we made application to the
State Railroad commission fer per.
mission to build gas plant and TO
sell stock for financing the corpora
tiOn.
Public meetings were held in
FL Centre and were largely attend
ed by city officials and numerous
other persons residing in the valley.
Plans were submitted to the Rail
road commission for the financing
of the concern and after a delay of
several months during which a rigid
investigation was made by the com
mission, a permit was issued which
authorized the company to sell
$4,000 worth of preferred stock
and $205,00 worth of common
stock.
