malfeasance In office win Da aeaen.
Th speolflo charge on which the re
quested Indictment will be based Is
that of pardoning prisoners sentenced
to the municipal rockplle ror violation

"Th movement started several weeks
aa-o for tlie recall of Judge Taxwell

Shlilock. veaterdar. "but it has been
decided that a mora direct method of
removing that official would be to se
cure his Indictment by a grand Jury.
W believe we have sufficient evidence
to warrant an Indictment charging
him with malfeasance In office."
Mr S'.illlock Is one of a committee of
lawyers that' Initiated the proposed
recall of Judxe Taxwell some time ago.
following sensational charges that were
mado by a discharged rockptle prisoner
against ex-Superintendent llrlggs and
Involving Judge Taxwell and a deputy
In tho District Attorney's office, suffl.
clent funds were subscribed for con
ducting such a campaign against Tax-
well, but the plan was abandoned tem
porarily, for the reason that Tasweu
had not served six months of the term
for which he was elected. It was Im
possible to Invoke the recall against
Taxwell until the expiration of that
period next January.
fau Baaed oa Pardoms.
"In the trial of Brings. Taxwell as a
witness In the case testified that he
had pardoned certain prisoners doing
time at the rockplle before their sen
tences had expired." continued Mr. Shli
lock. "We will present that same tes
timony to th grand Jury as th foun
dation for our charge of malfeasance.
Th pardoning power Is not vested In
th Municipal Judge and In exercising
that right Judge Taxwell unquestion
ably mads himself liable to a charge of
malfeasance.
"The testimony that will he submit
ted to the grand Jury is now being ar
ranged. That body will be convened
some time next week. The proposed
recall will be held in abeyance pending
th outcom of our appearance before
th grand Jury."
Mr. Shlilock said those who were be
hind tha movement to oust Judge Tax
well had not decided upon a candidate
who would bs proposed as his opponent
In event of a recall election or his suc
cessor should Taxwell be deposed fol
lowing his Indictment. Should Judge
Taswell be Indicted on th charge that

and th appointment of his successor

opposing the Incumbent of the office.
indictment of Max Cohen, on an al
leged bribery charge, has resulted In
renewing the agitation against Tas
well. on whose recommendation Cohen
was appointed Municipal Judge during
tho absence of Taxwell on his vacation.
It wa while Cohen was acting In that
capacity that he la alleged to have com
mitted th offense for which h has
been Indicted.

John B. Coffey, chairman1 of th po

executive board, yesterday vigorously
denied the Imputation that his activity
In causing th Indictment of Cohen was
actuated by any other motive than to
demand th punishment of untrustwor

"I have no desire or Intention of tak
ing any hand In th recall of any offi
cial." declared Mr. Coffey. "Th only
Interest I had In taking th rasa of
Cohen before th grand Jury and asking
for his Indictment was. if possible, to
set an example that would put an end

In this city who have too long preyed
off unfortunates coming within their

bers. and the action taken was a
vlotory for the "progressives," or "In
surgents." as they are sometimes called
tn the order. Elimination of the con
vention plan and direct election of rep
resentatives is the aim of the "pro
gressives," to off-set, so It Is said, the
tendency to build a "machine" In the
stste and National Grange. This
movement has been gaining ground In
Oregon and Washington.
J. I. Lee spoke on "National Rev
enue." and told of Its sources. H
pointed out the effects of the tariff. He
said thst while there is a tendency to
reduce the tariff in this country It Is
essentlsl thst the principle of protec
tion should be retained as the policy of
government. He contended that any
revision of th tariff should b under-
taken with great deliberation and cau
tion, lest there b disturbance of bust- ;
ness.
James G. Kelly spoke on "What the
Grange Has Accomplished Through
Legislation." and pointed out the pur
food laws, rural free mall delivery, th
postal savings bank, agricultural col
legea and the establishment of a Na- '
tlonal agricultural department aa some ;
of the achievements of the Grange.
Resolutions were adopted In memory
of Rev. Chauncey O. Hosford. a pioneer

CATHOLICS HELD LOYAL
KEV. K. V. O'HAKA SAYS CHURCH
.IX AMERICA IX HARMOXY.
Appointment of Three Cardinals in
Thla Country Declared to Be ,
Proof of Good Will.
"There Is no country In the world so
free from the taint of modernism aa
America, and none possessing Catholics
more devoted to the Holy Father." de
clared Rev. E. V. O'Hara In his sermon
last night at St. Mary's Catholic. Ca
thedral. He was spesktng of tha three
new American cardinals appointed by
the Pope, and of their office and work
He said. In part:
"The reported creation of thre new
American cardinals has served to di
rect attention to that great body of
counselors of the Pope and likewise
has indicated the harmony of the
church In America with the Ideals of
tho Holy Father. The College of Car
dinals has grown from the practical
necessities of th administrative life
of the church. It had Its origin In the
early centuries In the body of prin
cipal clergy who wer closely asso
ciated with th Pop In tha charitable
and admlnlstratlv work of th City
of Rome. For many centuries the num
ber of cardinals has been fixed at
about 70, though ther has seldom been
that number at one time.
"Vpon th death of a Pope It develops
upon the cardinals to select his suc
cessor. The manner In which they
hav fulfilled thla obligation haa en
titled thorn to ba recognised as th
most notable electoral body In the
world. Notwithstanding th political
Intrigues of European governments,
they have selected a singularly high
minded and Independent series of sov
ereign pontiffs. In this regard no bet
ter example Is needed than the present
occupant of th Se of Peter, whose
first act was to declar that hereafter
tt would mean excommunication for
any cardinal to represent the wishes
of any government at the election of a
Pope.
"The cardinals are th advisers of
th Pope; his cabinet It we choose to
take an expression from American In
stitutions. They are men who have
passed years In th service of religion
and are chosen as representatives of
the various nations of the earth with
special regard to their practical wis
dom and their scholarship.
"The fact that four American citizen!
will be members of th sacred col
leg at on time will give pause to
those poorly Informed critics of the
church who have thought that th
progressive church In America was out
of harmony with th Ideas of the Holy
Father.
"The Cathollo Church Is In perfeot
harmony with th principle of the
republic. Such was the declaration of
Leo Xin, the greatest constructive
statesman of th 19th century, and the
recent act of Plus X has sealed that
declaration with practical approval In
a manner that cannot be misunderstood."
