JUDGE LOWELL
CRITICIZED BY
HIGH COURT
Boston JuriSt Who Released
Crawford Raped for In
StruCtions to Jury

Federal Judge James A. Low
ell, of Massachusetts,, whose action
in directing the release of George
Crawford, colored, wanted in Vir-
ginia on a charge Of Staying Mrs.
Agnes Boeing Ilsley, is being in
vestigated by the House Judiciary
Committee, was severely criticised
by the United States Supreme
Court yesterday for his handling
of a narcotic case.
Without mentioning his name,
Chief Justice Hughes, in a dect-
sion to which there was no dissent,
reversed the action of the First
Circuit Court of Appeals which
had upheld Judge Lowell in the
conviction of Angelo Quercia on
narcotic charge.
The decision supported Querica's
contention that Judge Lowell in
instructing the jury exceeded the
bounds of fair comment. Chief
Justice Hughes pointed out that
Judge Lowell had said:
"I think that every single
word that man said. except
when he agreed with the Gov
ernment's testimony, was a lie."
The decision also said:
"He Judge LOVELY did not
review the evidence to assist
the jury in reaching the truth,
but in a sweeping denunciatiOn
repudiated as a lie all that the
accused had said in his behalf
which cOnflicted with the state
ment of the Governments wit
ness. This was error and we
cannot doubt it was prejudi-
ciaI."

That could be based on a fair
valuation of the property the
Government holds in the Dis

ernment received free Of cost,
such as water, street lights and
street improvements.
Would Save Time
"I believe Congress could
agree on the total of the lump
sum contribution, pass legiSIa-
tion which would appropriate
such a sum and save much of
the time which seems to be lost
whenever the District supply
bill is brought up.
"Under my plan, the District
Commissioners would budget
their own expenses, taking into
consideration the sum they get
from the United States and the
anticipated revenue from taxes.
Then, if a deficit came about it
would be up to the District gov
ernment to get out of it. The
responsibility for keeping the
District solvent would be en-
tireIy up to the District heads"
Palmisano said he did not be.

the Commissioners to submit
their budget to Congress for ap'

WILL ATTEND
ROAD MEETING

In the interest of keeping tour
ist traffic flowing into Imperial
Valley, Leo Hetzel of Ell Centre and
A. j. MERCER of Calexico, -direc-
tors for California of the Broad
way of America association, have
been selected by the Associated
Chambers of Commerce of Imperial
county to represent this community
at the Broadway of America con-
vention to be held in Ell Paso May
l and 2.
Hetzel and MERCER attended the
1881 Broadway convention at Hot
Springs, Ark, and the 1882 con-
vention in San Diego and are ia
miliar with the aims of this asso-
citation which is promoting travel
over the transcontinental route
which extends from Broadway, New
York, to Broadway, San Diego. AS
this route converges with U. S.
Highway 80, passing through I'M
Highway 80 at Ell Centre, the pro-
motional work which is being done
in tourist traffic is very important
to this community and, for this
reason, the associated chambers felt
that Imperial Valley should be rep
resented at Ell Paso.
A group of San Diego representa-
tives will leave that city on Fri
day, April %, and the valley rep
resentatives will join them, driving
to Ell Paso in time for the opening
of the convention. This group will
be joined by representatives of the
various Arizona and New Mexico
communities lying on the route,
forming a motorcade of consider
able size. Broadway of America en-
thusiasts from the eastern states
will form a similar motorcade to
meet the western representatives in
Ell Paso.

WINS
SENATE FIGHT.
Continued From Page II

the administration bill would be
amended to include provision per-
hitting President Roosevelt to Or
der free coinage Of silver at a ra-
ito to be fixed by him.
The free coinage amendment was
drafted yesterday by Senators
Wheeler, Dem, Mont, and King,
Dem, Utah, after a White House
conference. They protested to Mr..
Roosevelt against limiting the sill
yer section of the initiation bill to
the Pittman provision authorizing
acceptance of a maximum aggre-
gate of s100,000,000 worth of silver
in partial payment of war debts.
Pittman told the United Press
today that the Wheeler-King
amendment was satisfactory to him
and that he believed the senate
would add it to the initiation bill.
It would be in addition to Pittman's
own proposal for acceptance of sill
yer against war debts.
No other major changes are con-
templated in the administration bill
which is due for senate debate to-
day as an amendment to the farm
relief measure.
Speedy Approval Urged
President Roosevelt has served on
Democratic leaders a rush order for
the powers proposed to be confer
red on him by the initiation bill.
Andrew w. Mellon, secretary of
the treasury under three Republic
can presidents and one of the three
richest men in the world-has come
to Washington to become joint lea
der in the futile fight against in
flation. He and former Secretary
Ogden L. Mills are generalissimos
of the so-called sound money for
ces.
A serious split in Democratic
ranks appears to have been pre-
vented by President Roosevelt's re-
ported approval in principal of a
free silver coinage substitute for
the limited silver provision now
contained in the bill.
The new silver compromise is al
most identical with the silver COIN
age section promised originally by
Senator Thomas, Dem, Okla. Sup
porters of the King pro-
poSal emphasize that the free coin
age feature of the amendment is
permissive. It would not make free
coinage mandatory upon Mr.. Roose-
welt.
