iAUGHLIN ALLOWED
TO CHANGE JUDGES
Justice Proctor Disqualities Him.
self and Case Is Certified to
Iustice Gordon.

Because Of an afidavit of prejudice
filed against him Saturday, Justice
James M. Proctor of District Court
disqualified himself today in the trial
of James J. Laughlin, an attorney.
who has been indicted on charges of
forgery, embezzlement, larceny and
larceny after trust.
The case Immediately was certified
over to Justice Peyton Gordon and
trial was postponed until Wednesday
because of the insistence of Laughlin's
attorneys, E. Russell Kelly and Myron
G. Ehrlich, that they be allowed to
withdraw.
When Assistant United States At
torney John w. Fihelly pressed for an
early trial, Justice Gordon refrained
from ruling on the request that the
lawyers step out Of the case. but in
dicated he would allow another law
yer to undertake the trial and excuse
Kelly and Ehrlich if the new counsel
is ready Wednesday. Attorney George
D. Horning, jr., entered his appear
ance as Laughlin's new counsel.
The pending charges against Laugh
lin involve 81 500 he is alleged to have
obtained from three clients.
In disqualifying himself, Justice
Proctor said he was acting regardless
of certain technical aspects of the
affidavit, which hardly complies with
the requirements of the statute" The
afidavit alleged that in two cases in
1885 Justice Proctor manifested an
unfriendly attitude toward Laughlin.

ground they would be wasted money

Senator Bone, Democrat, of Wash

900 was paid out last year for "war
purposes" including the bonus and
war debt interest, Bone said.
Amendment Proposed.
Proposing a constitutional amend
ment forbidding America to take part
in any war or spend money for mil
itary purposes, Senator Frazier, Re.
publican, of North Dakota asked:
How can we expect other nations
to work with us for peace, while we
are setting the pace for the largest
peace-time military expenditures ir
history?"
Frazier said the amendment wa
advocated by the Women's Peace
League of New York and had beer
introduced by him at the last five
sessions of Congress. He said he
hoped to have it introduced in the
House this year.
The Senator said the amendment
would prohibit United States partici-
patton in any war, foreign or domes-
tic; and would wipe out all military
and naval appropriations. He said
he would ask for a hearing before q
judiciary subcommittee.
IF We believe in peace we ought to
set an example for the rest of the
world" Frazier said. .
