REV. v. K. BLOOM
DIES IN NEW YORK
Eastern Secretary Of Con.

Extension Board.

Rev. DR.. w. Knighton Bloom, 68,
eastern secretary of the Congrega-

sion Board, died last night of a
cerebral hemorrhage suffered as he
alighted from train in Brooklyn,
N. Y, where he had gone to attend
the funeral services of his only

DR.. Bloom had lived in Washing

district secretary of the Extension
Board in North and South Dakota.
Born in England.
Born February /, 1866, in Dor

DR.. Bloom was graduated from public
schools in that district and later from
the City of London College. He also
held degrees from the Chicago Theo-

ment's transcript Of testimony during
the preparation of the appeal. Justice
O'Donoghue described this refusal as
'uncommendable."
Based on Civil Case.
Another charge was based on a
civil case in which Duke filed an am
davit of prejudice against Justice Let's.
The opinion of the court. signed
by the chief justice, said, in part:
while in a literal sense, 1t Is true
that the bill of exceptions in the con-
spiracy case did not contain every
exception taken upon the trial, there
is nothing in the evidence to indicate
that it was not prepared in con-
scientiouS endeavor to make 1t fairly
and adequately cover the assignment
of errors, or was not signed in the
honest belief that it satisfied those
conditions The reiteration by the
respondent of the charges imputing
lack of integrity and common hon.
esty to the district attorney and to
the court in the preparation and sig
nature of the bill was most repre-
hensible. AS a matter of fact, it was
not the district attorney who pre-
pared the bill, but one of his assist
ants.
The charge that the trial justice
hand-picked the jury is without color
of justification or excuse. In ques-
tioning the prospective jurors, no dis
tinction was attempted between those
who had been identified with organ
izations favoring prohibition and
these opposed thereto.
In our opinion, the conduct Of
which the respondent was guilty
amounted to professional misconduct,
preJudical to the administration of
justice and merits disbarment."

juStiiable and false, tends to suppress
all criticism.
Opposes Excessive Penalty.
Freedom of criticism of public off,
cialS, like freedom of the press, had
better suffer from some abuse rather
than be stifled or destroyed by too
severe penalties for their infractions.
The consciousness of rectitude is the
Solace of the just.
Under all the circumstances of
the case, it would seem that disbar-
ment of the respondent for life from
the practice of his profession is an
excessive penalty and that the ends
of justice would be best served by
suspension of the respondent from
the practice of the law for a reason
able period of one year"
1t was pointed out. however. the de-
cision of the Majority is binding. and
Duke will be disbarred rather than
suspended.
The charges against him grew out
of two cases One was a liquor con-
spiracy case tried by one of Rover's
assistants before Justice Let's. Duke
subsequently charged that a false and
deleted bill of exceptions had been
sent to the Court Of Appeals by JUS
tice Let's and Rover.
1t was brought out that Rover had
refused to let Duke see the Govern

The charges were brought by the
Grievance Committee Of the Bar As
sociation and tried before Chief JUS
tice Alfred A. Wheat and Associate
Justices Jennings Bailey and Daniel
w. O'Donoghue.
Differ as to Punishment.
All three agreed Duke was guilty of
the charges, but Justice O'Donoghue
said the punishment should be lin
tied to suspension from the bar for
one year.
THE respondent was not charged
with the commission or conviction OF
a crime involving moral turpitude," "
Justice ODonoghue said, nor was he
charged with defrauding or with dere-
lction of duty to client. These are
the two principal grounds justifying
the severe penalty OF disbarment,
whereby an attorney is irrevocably
deprived of his livelihood.
The respondent, maybe through
malice or maybe through misguided
and overzealous solicitude for the real
or supposed rights of his clients, has
criticized, spoken i'll of and slandered
justice and a public official of this
court.
THE finding of the respondent
guilty is sufficient vindication of the
justice and official, if any vindication
of their probity were needed. But to

were passed by the 200 assembled
farmers and copies sent to the
government authorities. The reso-
lutions were, in substance, first
that on account of the drought
causing feed shortage it was de-
manded that the government bring
in drought relief in the form of
buying up surplus stock, that feed
be furnished for the remaining
cattle, and that the government
waive all mortgage claims to the
cattle. The second protest WAS on
the price paid to the surveyors on
the allotment plan. In times of
drought, wind and thistles the
farmer has all he can do to exist
without paying for some insane
surveying out of his already
meager allotment check. m
