COURT MATTER IS FIRST UP Attorney Ip Wolfe, of Tacoma, In sists Palmer Should Be Removed From Committee Because of Prejudice. OLYMPIA. Julv 2. (Sner-lnl 1 Th House committee appointed to investi gate the charges preferred asrainst eight members of the Supreme Court by Herbert N. De Wolfe, of Tacoma, this afternoon announced a willingness to probe any other charges that might be mea against tnat tribunal. In accordance with this policy, sub- penas were issued for A. H. Denman ana j. . Anderson, Tacoma lawyers, whose names were supplied by Mr. De Wolfe, with the statement that the two men had Indicated a willingness to tes tify before the committee concerning x"1" maiiers involving the court. The proceedings of the committee this afternoon were brief. re Wolfe usicinir for a continuance on several grounds. one oi wnicn was that he had filed a protest with Speaker Meigs against the continuance of Representative E. B. Palmer, of Seattle, on the committee. Ie Wolfe's written protest to Speaker Meigs charges Palmer with prejudice. He asserts that before Palmer knew whether the charges were well founded the latter had declared It his intention to have De Wolfe disbarred. De Wolfe relates that when Palmer was a member of the Senate in 1905 he opposed an amendment to a bill pending which would permit cities to operate municipal street railways out side their corporate limits. This amendment was desired for the relief of West Seattle, particularly, where De Wolfe was then City Attorney. "The only private Interests that could possibly have been affected by this amendment," says De Wolfe In his let ter, "were those of the Stone & Web ster people. This little incident gave me an insight Into which side Mr. Palmer's bread was buttered on. At least three of the cases which I shall take up before your committee will be cases which affected the Interests of the Stone & Webster Company." In his charges against the Supreme Court De Wolfe cites four cases In which he Insists the court decided against the law and the facts. De Wolfe's application for a continu ance was granted to enable him to pre pare his evidence, and the committee will reconvene next Tuesday afternoon In Olympia. Palmer will likely remain on the committee, owing to the House having taken a recess adjournment, leaving the Speaker without -authority to make a change if he so desired.

The vetoed section is that which recites the repeal of all acts and parts of acts In conflict with the new law. Regents J. J. Browne, of Spokane, and Lee F. Johnson, of North Yakima, ar rived here this afternoon to urge the Governor to veto at least this second sec tion, and secured a promise from the executive this evening that such action would be taken.
