JUDGE Who TOOK .
BANKRUPT CRAFT,
RESIGNS HIS JOB
Winslow Afraid Dirt
May Reach Other
Members of Family
Investigation" Halts;
Jury Can Indict, But
Prefers Not

Federal Judge Francis Winslow
of New York resigned yesterday.
only a few hours before a congress
sional committee was to open hear
ing at p. m. to determine whether
he had so compromised himself
through connections with the bank
ruptcy graft here that they would
have to recommend his impeach-
ment.
The resignation was announced by
Martin Conboy, his attorney, who
did not attempt to deny that it was
in the hope of ending the proceed
ings against him, which might in
volve other members of his family,
that Winslow resigned. Conboy's
statement is, in part:
He Felt Unfit.
"Judge Winslow has felt, from
the time the charges were made
against him, that his usefulness as
member of the judiciary was
thereby impaired, and he has since
refrained from appearing as a
judge. The same belief is still up
permost in his mind.
"These several proceedings hav-
ing ended, Judge Winslow finds
that he now has to consider the f.
ture of his relations to the bench
in the light of his own sense of
duty"
Seems To Work.
The Ninslow resignation resulted
in the immediate cancellation of the
Congressional Committee 'investi-
CATION" 1t is still possible to have
a grand jury indict Winslow, but as
all concerned are anxious to hide
the scandal, it is doubted whether
any such action will be taken.
Winslow was charged on the floor
of the House of Representatives
with maintaining secret partner
ship with the law firm of Marcus
Eelfand by which he gave decisions
in favor of Hollands clients, if they
paid very high fees to Helfand
Felfand resigned from the New
York bar under fire, and to stoI
further investigation.
Valuable articles once owned by
bankrupts found their way myster-
iously into Winslow's family.
A federal grand jury recently
condemned Winslow for irregular
tiles" but stated it did not wish tt
probe deeper.

Thousands Of Starring Belgian

CAPE TOWN, South Africa,
April IA tale of famine and hor-
ror in which Negro women and chill
dren, rubber slaves in the Belgian
Congo, were eaten by hyenas before
the life left their bodies, has reached
here by way of Nairobi in British
Kenya.
Owing to the successive failure
of crops, the backward state of
native yTicufture, which the Bel
gian government does nothing to i'm
prove, and the lack Of all communi-
cations, except those tenuous ones
by which the rubber interests send
down their product to Bor-~ = the
mouth of the Rivei, thousands of
natives of Ruanda, Belgian Congo,
are starving to death.
Ban Focd to Famine Area.
The British imperialists played
their part, too, in the stupendous
tragedy when the Uganda govern
ment last December, forbade the ex-
port of all foodstuffs to the neigh
boring famine area in the Congo.
Thousands of the dying natives
have ID to reach Uganda and
food, laboring thru the swamps of
central equatorial Africa, but
thousands have never reached it.

over which they passed are piled

FEDERALS BEAT

MEXICO CITY, April 1.-One of
the most extensive battles of the
present outbreak was fought today
around Jiminez, state of Chihuahua,
with the federal army of Gen. Alma
zan pressing forward against deter
mined opposition from the reaction
ary insurgents.
The battle began at 1 a. m. The
federal forces bombarded Jiminez
with artillery and the clericals re-
piled with rifle fire from trenches.
Fighting was reported in the streets
of the city before noon.
At 1890 p. M, War Minister
Plutarco Elias Gales, in charge of
the armies in the field, informed the
presidential palace that the govern
ment had cut off the clerical retreat
towards Chihuahua City and Paral.
Federal troops also were holding
both railway lines to the south.
Gales reported that after fight
ing from one a. m. until sunrise,
federal troops had advanced to
within a mile Of Jiminez. The main
bodies on both sides were engaged.
Three reactionary contingents to-
falling approximately 200 men sur
rendered. They included a captain
with SO soldiers and two other squa-
drons.
