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 lowed the investigation closely during the three weeks it has been in prog ress, j 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".

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.

NAMES GF ALL ARE KNOWN Dougherty Says Most Import . ant Prisoner Is Jack Rose. DESCRIPTIONS SENT FORTH Deputy District Attorney Outlines 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. (Concluded on Page 8.)
