SEATTLE, Wash.. Jll'.y 20 (Special )
Careful and unbiased study of . the
volumes of testimony already presented
in the Congressional investigation of
charges against Federal Judge Corne
lius H. Hanford, in this city, of the
hundreds of exhibits and the stacks of
legal documents which the subcommit
tee will take to Washington, D. C,
with it, reveals a possible opportunity
for Impeachment on but one of the nine
charges filed against the jurist: to
gether with possible impeachment on
another charge presented' to thel sub
committee while it was In Seattle.
From all the evidence adduced on
both sides and practically all of it was
against the jurist those portions deal
ing with Judgi Hanford's alleged in
toxication on and off the bench, and
with Ms relations with Sutclilfc Bax
ter, who served as receiver in eight
bankruptcy matters, are m&st feared
by the jurist's friewds who have fol

the three weeks it has been in prog

Committee Shows CourteMjr.
Of the nine charges tiled in
Congress against Judge Hanford,
that alleging drunkenness has at
tracted the greatest share of the
subcommittee's attention, and has in
volved the most witnesses. The mat
ter of excessive receivership fees, while
it was not contained In the Congression
al affidavits, was examined by the sub
committee after the others had been
disposed of.
One of the charges contained in the
affidavits against the jurist, that alleg
ing Judge Hanford to be "a grossly im.
moral and dissolute man," and fre
quenter of the tenderloin before it was
closed, was not investigated by the
committee, by common agreement. Out
of eourtesy to the judge and members
of his family, the charge was passed.
The first matter to be probed, deal
ing with the disfranchisement of Leon
ard Olsson, Socialist-Laborite, occupied
but two days of the committee's time.
Ample evidence was produced by Gov
ernment officials, Including naturaliza
tion examiners and members of the
District-Attorney's office, to the effect
that Judge Hanford had annulled
Olsson's papers solely on the ground
of fraud.
Olsson's political beliefs, which have
figured so largely in discussions of the
case, were shown to be immaterial to
the matter of annullment. According
to the naturalization statute, it was
shown. If the defendant was not at
tached to the Constitution of the United
States at the time of taking his oath,
it was the duty of the Federal Judge
to annul his papers, should, evidence be
presented to that effect.
Clandestine Chance Full".
Olsson himself took the witness stand
during the investigation, and stated
tmit he, believed in the. overthrow of
political government, as well a, the
abolition of the courts. He asserted
that under his scheme the present fab

would be useless, and that an Indus-

Cause or Complaint.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20. (Special.)
Although the United States Army
transport Merritt. constructed by the
Shanghai Dock & Engineering Com
pany, a British concern at Shanghai,
has been ' in commission since last
April, San Francisco shipbuilders are
just now expressing surprise that the
United States Government should have
let a contract for the building of a
transport to a foreign firm, In a for
eign country and by foreign labor,
when there are a dozen American ship
yards on the Pacific, including the
Mare Island and Bremerton Navy
yards, ready to turn out any kind of
a ship with American labor.
While Pacific Coast shipbuilders do
-not assert that the United States Gov
ernment attempted to make any secret
of the building of the transport Mer
ritt by a British firm in Shanghai, the
management of the Union Iron Works
say they had no knowledge of the
building of the Merritt and knew noth
ing of its launching and trial trip un
til an American in Shanghai wrote the
company a letter inclosing a lengthy
article from the China Press, of Shang
hai, concerning the trial trip of the
transport. '
The Shanghai informant, who com
plains bitterly against the building of
an American transport by a British
companv. who. lie says, boasts that only
Britishers were employed and only
British material was used in its con
struction, also calls attention to re
pairs on the transport iLiscum by the
same firm, and adds that the repairs
cost more than it would cost to build
a new transport.

Mass of Evidence Already Se
cured Names of Men Who
Killed Gambler Are Secret.
NEW YORK. July 20. (Special.)
The men who rode to the Metropole
Hotel early Tuesday morning in Louis
Llbby's gray automobile and there shot
and killed Herman Rosenthal, the gam
bler, who had so long been a thorn- in
the side of certain police officials, have
fled from this city.
This Is the explanation which the po
lice offer for their failure to arrest a
single one of the murderers.
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty, who
has been In charge of the investigation
of Rosenthal's death, virtually admit
ted today that the reason none of the
men had been caught Is because they
cannot be found.
.ln of All -Mrs Kum.
Mr. Dougherty made no secret of the
fact that the names of all of the men
are in his possession. He does not hesi
tate to say that they are well known
men who in ordinary circumstances
could be rounded up in a few hours. He
refused positively to give their names
or say if he had clews as to where any
of them have gone. He would not pre
dict how long It will be before he is
able to run down the assassins, al
though he did say that the progress he
had made so far is more than satisfac
tory and that he is confident he will
ultimately get the criminals. It la
known that dearrinUnan certain men
have been sent broadcast throughout
the country by the police of this city.
In connection with these circulars
the police officials of other cities have
been asked to keep secret the names of
the men wanted.
Mr. 'Dougherty said that there Is no
certainty that the men he is after know
that they are wanted. If their names
become public, he said, they will know
it and the difficulty of getting them
would be greatly increased.
Rose Important Prisoner.
In "Jack" Rose, the gambler friend
of Lieutenant Becker, and the man who
hired the car in which the murderer
of Rosenthal rode to and from the scene
of their crime, Mr. Dougherty declares
he has a prisoner more important than
all of the others put together.' The
Deputy Commissioner says that he is
confident- the murder of Rosenthal was
plotted In the afternoon or early even
ing and that the men who rode in Llb
by's car were fully aware of what was
to be done.
In this he included Rose, who is now
in the Tombs, but who will be arraigned
before elthr the Coroner or City Mag
istrate Monday. The police will fight
any effort to have Rose released on ball,
although it Is understood Rose's at
torney will make a fight to liberate
him.
"I am willing to tell the public all
that I can about the progress we are
making in this case," said Mr. Dough
erty today, "but r will not tell anything
that will retard our work. We have
the car in which the murderers rode to
and from the crime. We have the man
who owns the car and the man who
drove It that night. v
"More Important than anything else.
