Committee Appointed by the Lcslaln ture to IaveatlRate the Sweeping Charge and Specifications. OLYMPIA, Feb. 12. Another sensation was sprung in the house this morning by the Introduction and reading of a com munication from ex-Judge Edward T. Hunter, of Chehalis, asking for the ap pointment of a. committee to investigate charges of impeachment against Judge W. W. Langhorne, of the superior bench of Pacific, Lewis and Frankiakum counties. Judge Hunter, in his communication, claims that he has been unable to get any member of the legislature from his county to present the matter, and, in consequence, was compelled to address a personal letter to the open house. He, therefore, pledges his personal honor and professional stand ing to substantiate the charges against Judge Langhorne, outlined in the com munication, if the matter was taken up. Representative Kittinger moved to re fer the communication to the committee on public morals. Mr. Heath, of Chehalis, beliet'ed this motion was intended to shelve" the communication, and asked that it be referred to the special com mittee now at Spokane investigating the charges of Impeachment against Judge Arthur. Baker's amendment, to refer the communication to a new special committee of five to be appointed by the chair, finally prevailed. With impeachment charges pending against two superior judges, the present session will certainly not lack entertain ment if the judges are ever brought to trial. Following is Judge Hunter's com munication in full: "I have the honor to represent to this assembly that for three weeks past, I have had prepared a verified petition ad dressed to the house of representatives of said state, praying that consideration be taken under the constitutional provisions of the state for the removal or impeach ment of superior judges of the state, for the removal of Hon. W. W. Langhorne, superior judge in the counties of Lewis, Pacific and Wahkiakum. "I have sought the presentation of said petition through and by the various mem bers of your body from said counties, and they, for reasons unknown to me, refused to present the same. I have also sought the aid of other members, and in each In stance the reply has been that such mat ter should be introduced by a member from the county where said judge re sides. "I desire to say. In this public manner, without disrespect to any one, that such refusal amounts. In my humble opinion, to a denial of the right reserved in the constitution by this, the only tribunal provided for such investigation. "The charges preferred against Judge Langhorne are substantially as follows: "First That since the 9th day of Janu ary. 1693, and down to the present time, said judge has been, and still Is, guilty of many delinquencies in oflice, and in the conduct of cases pending in the courts over which he presides. "Second That said judge has. In the counties named, and in the county of Thurston, committed grave offenses against the laws of said state. "Third That in the county of Pacific he has been guilty of offenses against morality, good conduct and the laws of said state. "Fourth That said judge has violated the provision" of section S3, article 2, of the constitution of said state, for the purpose of making profit to himself. "Fifth That he has been and s abusive, oppressive and . tyrannical towards the members of the bar practising before him. That he has advised with litigants in his courts in regard to cases then pend ing, and in regard to their attorneys. That he has' interfered with the due ad ministration of the business of such courts. "Said charges are supplemented by SO or more specifications, all of which can b maintained and established by many witnesses, residents of said counties, both members of the bar, officers of the courts and reputable citizens. "Said specifications embrace repeated threats to kill, intoxication, threats to disbar attorneys, trafficing In his official business by promising positions, appeals and solicitations to litigants to discharge their attorneys already selected, and not to employ certain attorneys, naming them, in anticipated cases," and naming attor neys whom he desired to be employed, and making a false charge knowingly in a sworn aii6Wt of felony against the writer hereof. "1 have the honor further to state that for over 47 'years I have been, and still am, a member of the bar of various states, and in some of the federal courts, and that my reputation as such is unimpeached. "Further, I state that in case an inves tigation is had and the evidence which will be tendered and offered under the rules in such cases fails to establish the truth of the charges, as made by me against said judge, in my own judgment I should, by the proper tribunal, be dis barred, and with equal posltiveness. 1 claim that if said charges are. by suffi cient evidence sustained, said judge should be removed from the high office over which he presides." Speaker Morrison announced the'follow ing committee to investigate the charges of impeachment: Bull, Cloes, Goddard, Chetam and Haltcman. Vnder the first charge made by Judge Hunter is a specification alleging that in 1893 Langhorne. as judge, made a decision in a suit of the minor heirs of Philander IV. Swett, deceased, against A. L. Denie. administrator, and the South Bend Land Company, defendants. Involving a large amount of property, and the Interests of these heirs, in pursuance of an under standing beforehand with these defend ants, and without having examined the plaintiffs complaint. A second specifica tion is that Judge Langhorne stated, after deciding the case of Reed & Warren vs. the Bank of Commerce of Centralia, that had not Hunter been counsel for the bank his rulings and decisions would have been different. A third specification is that Langhorne, In making return to an al ternative writ of prohibition, issued out of the supreme court of the state, in the contempt proceedings instituted by Lang horne against Hunter, falsely and ma liciously charged Hunter with having al tered the records of the superior court, and vorified the return with his oath. The fourth specification charges Judge Langhorne with certain irregularities In the Tower Lumber Company case. In which Hunter was also interested. The lifth specification charges Langhorne with haIng privately consulted with and ad- ised with the defendant at her house In the case of Ginn vs. Louisa Rose, of Pa cific county, then In his court. It Is also specified that Langhorne has attempted to break up and ruin the business of com plainant and other attorneys practicing before him, by publicly stating his Inten tion to disbar them, and that he has. while on the bench, threatened to settle differences arising in court with lawyers outside of th courtroom. Under the second charge the complain ant specifies that Judge Langhorne has several times threatened to kill him. and that these threats have been made both la Chehalis and Olympla; that In the Olympia hotel, having a revolver in his hand. Langhorne made this threat; that on the Sunday before election last fall Langhorne stated that he was going to the St- Helen's hotel, in Chehalis, where he then supposed the complainant to be. and kill him. and that he dtd go to the hotel, but found the complainant absent; that at South Bend, within the last three months. Langhorne has exhibited a pis tol and publicly stated that he was going to fill Hunter with lead; that at one time Langhorne purchased three revolvers, axming himself and his two sons there with, for the avowed purpose not only of killing complainant, but other law abiding cltzens. Complainant further charges that at one time, upon his own personal knowledge, both at South Bend and at Chehalis, at a time fixed for holding his court at these places, Langhorne was intoxicated to such an extent as to Incapacitate him for at tending to business or discharging his duties as Judge. That he Is in the constant habit of carrying concealed weapons, and has them in his chambers at the court house and on the bench, so that complain ant has not felt safe in going before said judge except in open court. That Lang horne has frequently boasted of his skill In using deadly weapons, and of having killed men In personal encounters. Under the fourth heading It Is specified that in 1893, in violation of his oath of office, Judge Langhorne traveled to and from his place of holding court on a pass issued to him by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, and that he charged and collected from the state the usual fares for this traveling, which fares he had not paid. The fifth charge specifies that Judge Langhorne at one time advised with a client of A. E. Rice, directing him to dis charge said Rice; that he has done the same thing with clients of other lawyers, and told them if they had other attorneys they would have fared differently in his court; that by these methods he has greatly injured the business of the com plainant; that he has threatened he would make It uncomfortable for the clerk of the court of Lewis county unless that of ficial employed as deputies In his office certain political friends of the judge; that he has promised the receivership' in a large and valuable estate now in litiga tion to a certain person, provided that per son would use his Influence to prevent certain impeachment proceedings being brought against him as judge; that he promised to make this appointment lucra tive to the appointee and his attorney. Then follow explanatory specifications, in which it is charged that, after entering upon his office at the beginning of 1S95, Judge Langhorne publicly proclaimed that he now occupied a position where he could punish his enemies and reward his friends; that about that time Judge Langhorne solicited complainant to be come the partner of his son, Maurice A. Langhorne, in the law business, and, upon complainant refusing, had commenced, and has since kept up, a systematic attack and unwarranted persecution upon him, and that this is the experience of other lawyers In Lewis and Pacific counties. It is also alleged that Judge Langhorne, in the trial of cases before him, espouses' one side thereof and examines and cross-examines witness, and generally usurps the province of attorneys, denying them privi leges and depriving them of the right to intelligently perform the obligations which exist between attorneys and clients, and that the said judge imposes many fines for contempt upon attorneys in the trial of causes before juries, and after ward privately remits these fines. Hon. W. W. Langhorne has been judge since January L 1S33. He was elected as a democrat His opponent on the republican ticket was Judge Rice, of South Bend. Judge Hunter, who had been defeated in convention, ran Independently. Hunter carried Pacific county, and lacked but a few votes of carrying Wahkiakum; but In Lewis county, the republicans, fearing Hunter's election, "slumped" in a body to Langhorne. thus electing him in a repub lican district. Hunter was one of Laughton's ap pointees. As a man and as a judge he exhibited many qualities which attached many friends to him, but as he prides himself upon his abilities as a hater and a fighter, it was not long until he was embroiled In disputes with attorneys practicing before him. At one time he re fused to hold court in the old courthouse and ordered the auditor to provide an other room for him. There was a great row, which ended in the commissioners building an addition to the courthouse for him. Judge Hunter' is about 70 years of age. In spite of this he is straight as an arrow and sound as a piece of hick ory. While on the bench, he was dis tinguished for severity with attorneys and witnesses, and his propensity for conven ing court at an unearthly hour in the morning. The special joint legislative com mittee to investigate the reform school at Chehalis and the school for defective youth at Vancouver made Its report to the house and senate today. The educational departments in both schools arc highly commended, but the committee finds that the business man agement of the Vancouver institution Is not what It should be, and important changes are recommended In the .law gov erning the school. Of the school for de fective youth the committee says in part: "In the classrooms the committee spent a most Interesting and instructive day, and one which impressed every member with the Importance of the work that is being carried on there for defective hu manity in the state of Washington. The school is thorough and comprehensive in its scope and work. What would appear to the average person Impossibilities in the way of educating the deaf, dumb and blind are being accomplished there, and the rapid improvement of the children is noted even by the casual observer. The most modern methods of instruction are in vogue, and the instructors appear to be especially qualified for the work they are doing, by their natural love for it no less than on account of the training they have received. This Is especially true of Sir. and Mrs. Watsan, the former being direc tor and the latter matron of the institu tion. "The department for feeble-minded is in a separate building from the deaf and blind school, located over half a mile dis tant. The work that Is being carried on there is quite as marvelous as that in the other school, and the instructors are dem onstrating the wisdom of maintaining an institution where this unfortunate class of humanity Is not only being cared for, but is also being developed into useful cit izenship. "The committee regrets that the same tmstinted praise that Is due the educa tional department of the institution can not be freely accorded to the business management of the school. However, the committee believes that the fault lies with defects in the present law more than with any Incapacity on the part of the trustees. The present law provides for a board of five trustees, three of whom shall have special qualifications, one to be a law yer, one to be an educator and one to be a doctor. The committee is unanimously of the opinion that this portion of the law should be entirely changed, so as to reduce the number of trustees to three, only one of whom shall be a resident of Vancouver or Clarke county. Under the present law these trustees serve without pay, and the committee believes that this is also a mistake. "We would recommend that the trustees be paid So per day each, while actually in session as a board, and that the two outside members of the board be paid either mileage or expenses In addition to their per diem. Too much of the business management is left to the director, who ought to be free to devote his entire time to the educational department of the school, as would be the case with a smaller board that held stated meetings, which meetings would not be necessary more than once in three months, thus making the expense almost nominal to the state. "The present law for handling the funds of this institution should also be changed. The report of the treasurer of the board of trustees shows that he had on hand on June 30. 1S31. over 519.000. and yet he is required to give a bond for only $5000. This is manifestly absurd, and the committee recommends that the law be so changed as to place the funds of this institution in the same shape as those of the reform school and state penitentiary, payable only on vouchers properly audited by the state auditor Undsr the present financial sys tem governing the institution, there Is an air of extravagance prevalent that would be rectified, we believe, by the changes in the law as herein suggested. "In the report of the board of trustees for the school for defective youth an ap propriation of $77,323 is asked for the maintenance of the school during the next two years, and an appropriation aggre gating $15,310 is asked for various Im provements. After carefully going over the itemized list of expenses, as estimated for the coming two years, and consulting with Director Watson in regard to the same, this committee is of the opinion that the sum of Jo3.7C3 will be sufficient for the maintenance of the institution for the coming two years, and it Is hereby recommended that this amount be so ap propriated. The total appropriation rec ommended Is $70,338, which is $22,293 less than the amount asked for by the trus tees, and we believe it is not safe to make any further reductions than are suggested herein. "The trustees have established a regula tion whereby non-resident defective youth are admitted on payment of ?200 per year, when the actual per capita cost of caring for all inmates is J303 per year. This com mittee disapproves of such regulations." There Is already much anxiety among the members of the legislature regarding the magnitude of the appropriation bill, which will soon be presented for consid eration. This bill has created much con tention at each session of the legislature, but this year It will probably cause a whirlwind of dissatisfaction, owing to its increasing importance and relative value. The present legislature started in for economy, and has been fairly successful In this regard; but the flesh is weak, and, one by one, new schemes have been sprung, having in them a proposed com mission and an appropriation. These are still pending, and may not pass. In fact, it is thought many of them will not pass, and they are certain not to if the general appropriation bill is introduced before they are considered, for the friends of this or that item in the appropriation bill will object to vote for new commissions that are certain to further pare down the dif ferent items in the general appropriations. The state has a possible income for the next two years of about $1,470,000, and this sum the legislature Is expected to appro priate to provide for the wants of the various state institutions, for which ap propriations have been asked, and for sun dry other wants for the fiscal term com mencing April 1, 1R03, and ending April 1, 1S97. Up to date the demands upon this possible income, aside from proposed new commissions, new state roads, etc., amount to $2,681,SS3. This total sum is itemized as follows: Governor's office $ 13.G00 Secretary of state's office 22.900 State auditor's office 20,600 State treasurer's office 10.C00 Commissioner public lands 13,500 Attorney-general's office 11,600 Supt. public instruction S.630 State librarian 6,040 Supreme judges' salaries 40,003 Clerk and reporter sup. court.... 10,000 Contingent exp. supreme court... 8,000 Superior court judges 74,000 Traveling exp. sup. court judges. 1,600 Agricultural college SS.63) Cheney nor. school maintenance.. 30,500 Cheney normal rchool building 60,000 Elicnsburg nor. school malnfn'ce. 34,000 Soldiers' home ,.. 70,000 State printing 20(5,000 E.

The senate committee on revenue and taxation has decided to recommend a bill providing: That if taxes of 1893 are paid prior to July L 1S95, all Interest and penal tics shall be i emitted; If paid after July 1 and before November 1, 1895, penalty re mitted and Vi per cent Interest; after that, 216 per cent penalty and 12 per cent inter est will be charged. Regarding the ques tion of wiping out the salary fund, the same committee has found It Impractical to wipe out the fund completely, as In some counties general fund warrants have not been paid for two years and warrants are so low as to be almost out of the market. A bill will therefore be prepared requiring that a certain per cent of the salary of officials bj paid in warrants on the salary fund, and the balance be drawn against the general fund. The following extracts from the report on the reform school give Its substance: "In our opinion It is a model institution of its kind, conducted on lines of economy, efficiency and honesty, and altogether an affair that is deserving of the highest pos sible praise in every branch of Its man agement. In Superintendent T. P. Westen- dorf the state has fortunately secured the services of a man whese work shows that he is peculiarly adapted, both by train ing and natural qualities, for the success ful guidance and control of the young peo ple who are In his charge, and he is at the same time a thorough business man and carefully scrutinizes all proposed financial obligations of the school, always with an eye to the Interests of the state. With the limited facilities at his command he has, as a result of careful management and well-directed effort, practically hewn out of the wilderness a beautiful home, where over 150 boys and girls who have hereto fore had little or no home training are being brought up to noble and honorable manhood and womanhood. They appear to perform their labors In the school room, in the field or in the workshop cheer fully and obediently, without any evidence of discontent, and their best traits of character are being developed in every way. "While the stern hand of discipline on the part of the superintendent of a school of this kind is not lacking here, yet it is everywhere apparent that the children love and respect Superintendent and Mrs. Westendorf as perhaps few of them have loved and -espected their own parents. This accounts for something that favor ably impressed the cemmittee with the work of the schoolroom even before we were Inslae the grounds, and that was the fact that there Is no wall or fence around the Institution nnd no guards on duty to prevent escapes of those committed, many of whom were taken there In handcuffs and under strong guard; and this Is given additional emphasis when the records show that only three escapes have occurred dur ing the past three years, two of which were made before the school was in good running order. "The careful, conscientious business management of the institution is reflected in the fact that nearly two years ago the trustees turned back into the treasury nearly $16,000 of the appropriation for maintenance rrevicusly made, and this year it Is expected that, in spite of the fact that the number of inmates consid erably exceeds the estimate on which the appropriation of last session was based, there will be a surplus of something over $2000. In this connection the board of trustees of the institution, consisting of Hon. John DobSon, Hon. Henry Drum and Major W. V. Rinehart, are deserving of the same word of praise that has been ac corded to Superintendent and Mrs. West endorf In the management of the schooL "Two years ago a special appropriation of $5000 was made for the purchase of an additional 75 :icres of land that is unoccu pied and contiguous to the site of the re form school, but this meney will now lapse into the treasury, for the reason that the owners of the land refuse to sell it for what the trustees consider a reasonable price. It Is unanimously recommended by this committee that this amount be reap propriated at this time, but to make It op erative a bill must be- passed giving au thority to condemn this land and thus ob tain it for a fair and reasonable price. With this addition to the present site, the institution can be made much more nearly self-sustaining than at present, and econ omy alone would justify this expenditure. "For the maintenance of the reform school for the next two years it is recom mended that the sum of $63,000 be appro priated. "During the past two years a new build ing has been constructed at an expense of $15,000. It is a substantial structure, apparently well worth lis cost, and Is used for the girls' quarters, for the superin tendent's office and rooms, the lady em ployes and the chapel. "At present the school is well filled, but there are about 25 Inmates that can be paroled at this time, if suitable homes or places of employment can be found for them. This is a matter that the commit tee is desirous -at giving the widest pub licity, for ;t suggests the difficulty of dealing successfully with the problem pre sented when the time arrives for turning out the inmates of the school to do for themselves in the outside world. "This committee would also indorse the idea of a separate school for orphans, and we desire to put this in the strongest possible form. In the Chehalis school are a number of inmates who have been com mitted simply because .they have neither parents nor homes, and there is at present no other place where they can be cared for by the state. It is shameful that their future lives must be eyen tainted with the record of having been committed to the reform school, and a different place should be provided for them, for reasons that must be obvious to all who reflect upon the matter. "The inmates are amply provided with good, substantial food, and are comforta bly if not fashionably clothed. They make practically all of their own clothing, in cluding shoes and caps, which Is a great saving to the state. The buildings and grounds are in splendid sanitary condl tion, and a better water system could not be desired. Kerosene oil is still being used in the buildings, however, and the com mittee took the liberty of advising the trustees to arrange for an electric system of lighting without delay, so as to do away with the dangerous kerosene lamps." The railroad committee completed the consideration .of the rate bill tonight, ex cept section 2, for which a substitute has been offered, so as to give the detailed rate every 50 miles. It raises the maxi mum rato on the 500-mile haul from $3 to $3 75. Comparative rates for distances in the printed bill and in the proposed sub stitute for section 2 are: Miles. Rate as Printed. Substitute. 20 $0.50 $0.70 35 ,.. .87Vs 1.00 50 1.2a 1.20 75 1.50 1.43 100 2.00 t-65 150 2.00r. 2.00 200 2.00' 2.25 250 2.23v 2.50 300 2.25 2.73 350 2.G5& 3.00 400 3.001 3.23 450 3.00; 3.50 500 3.00V ....- 3.75 The 33-mile rate of$l is now in actual use in this state. nhepresent maximum (Anderson bill) ratejt$1.75.-" The appropriations-'committee decided to make a cut of 25 per cent on all appro priations asked for state institutions. A GEORGIA RACE WAR. Trouble Feared "With the Negroes of That Section. ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 19. A race war is imminent In Waverly Hall district in Har ris county. The negroes of that section have recently aroused the suspicions of ithe white people by secret gatherings latd at night, and later by making open threats. Today, Governor Atkinson received a let ter from T. H. Kimbrough, chairman of the executive committee of the fourth congressional district. In this letter, Mr. Kimbrough stated that the only thing which has seemed to deter the negroes so far has been the fear of the military com pany of Harris, "the Gordon troop. That a preconcerted arrangement was made to destroy the effectiveness of the military company, he says, is evinced by the fact that during the early morning hours of February 14, the house of Cap tain J. S. Clark, the commander of the Gordon troop, the place where the arms, sabers and ammunition of this company were stored, was set on fire, and, together with its entire contents, was destroyed. To bring the incendiaries to justice, the governor Is appealed to to offer rewards for their capture. The situation at pres ent does not warrant the sending of other troops to the scene, but further develop ments are awaited with considerable un easiness In the governor's office. Governor Atkinson at once took the matter up, and the reward will be offered just as soon as the papers can be properly made out. DREAD DISEASES. EI. Paso In n. Pnnic. EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 19.

THE BUSINESS WORLD STEADY PRICES REPORTED fc THE LOCAL PRODUCE MARKETS. The Wheat Trade Reports by Tele graphGeneral Produce aad Financial Advices. There was but little inquiry for produce yester day, and steady prices were reported. Adequate stocSs of all descriptions arc on hand. Eggs are arriving quite freely, and sell only fairly well.

Prices Paid for Wheat at Home and Abroad. The local wheat market is exceedingly dull. Walla Walla wheat, for export purposes, was quoted at 40c per bushel yesterday. Valley is entirely nominal, as no business is passing In that grade. At Chicago. CHICAGO. Feb. 19. The wheat bulls had the questionable consolation of a miniature bulge that did not hold today. It was not from the lack of bull news that the market was suffering, but rather from the heavy but slightly decreasing stocks, the exceedingly poor demand, both do mestic and foreign, and the bearish sentiment which lias assumed the character of a habit. The trifling advance came from reported heavy sales for export at New York yesterday, which afterward failed of complete verification, and from very fair clearances from Boston, Baltic, Indian and sundry port shipments were light at 2.3CS.000 bushels, the smallness being ascribed to difficulties of navigation at the present sea son. Bradstreet's reported a decrease in the world's visible supply of 2.S90.000 bushels, with out practically moving prices. The weakness at the opening was owing to the heavy receipts of 550 cars. Chicago had 25 cars. Liverpool cables were firmer early, but the closing was quoted easier. Berlin and Paris closed higher, and Ant werp was unchanged. May wheat opened from 52'452?sc; sold between 5353isc. closing at the latter, "afi'ic under yesterday. Cash wheat was dull, without change in quotations.

The Journal of Com merce and Commercial Bulletin, in its weekly review of the dry goods market, says: For the week under review some Improvement In the de mand can be reported, but business Is still backward. The increase is almost entirely con fined In common goods to dress fabrics, for which supplementary requirements, recovering from the recent check, are gradually expanding. With the exception or some lines of special ties, which are In a well-sold condition. buera are readily met, but the market Is generally steady in prices. The Amoskeag adoption of the restricted-price policy, which has been fully detailed, was an important feature this week, although it does not go into actual operation until tomorrow. The situation in staple cottons continues unsatisfactory. The demand is no. more vigorous than of late, and wherever buy ers show an inclination to purchase in quan tity, they fix price limits rarely acceptable to sellers. Cuts in the prices of leading staples by ccrtain prominent Jobbing houses in the West haye been a disturbing element, and, although they have not affected agents prices, they serve to keep the .market in an unsettled condi tion. Whilst selling Is easy to deal with in the majority of instances, there does not ap pear to be undue pressure to sell anywhere, whilst a number of agents arc so well situated that they show no anxiety to do business ahead of the present basis of values. From this it may bo inferred that the market is not oppressively supplied in the aggregate, whilst in some direc tions staple commons are actually scarce. In woolen goods, business has been fairly satis factory in both men's wear fabrics and dress goods. Some complaints of slow collections aro heard, but as a rule they are confined to South ern payments. OTHER MARKETS. Prices Realized for Livestock at Chi en pro and Omaha. CHICAGO. Feb. 19.
