ex-secretary ot ihs interior, alona. of
.11 ii Btinrntvi Involved, will noi
take th stand to Jf end himself ; bc
fore th 9 Hartford congressional com
mittee against the charges of conspir
acy la connection ..with the Hccltmaii
and Hansen bankruptcy case by Attor
ney J, U Finch. Th last ot the other
nttorneya accused by Finch testified
- today,- declaring that their connection
with the famous case. In which an es
tate of J60.000 was dissipated, was
proper and legal. . t
Attorney J B. Metcalf and the referee
in bankruptcy, John P. Hoyt, occupied
practically the whole of today s aes
slon, detailing their connection with
the Heckman and Hansen affair.
Chairman Graham of the Investlgat,
Jng committee today denied the rumor
that Judge Hanford had told the com
mittee that he would order a complete
investigation of the charges' against
Ballinger and others made by Finch.
3 "I have never spoken to Judga Han
ford," said Graham:
Barber Bays Jadg Was Drank.
James A. Clark, a barber, testified
that Judge Hanford was unmtstakauTy
Intoxicated on evening about six years
ago when he came Into his shop for
a shave. Both from the odor of liquors
and from the Judge's action, the witness
vu -positive that Judge Ha nf ord was
"pretty much gone." The Judge went
to sleep when he got into the chair,
and was awakened only when the bar
ber raised the chair, the latter testi
fied. He described the Judges walk
as "unsteady."
Aeked by Chairman Graham as to
whether In his opinion Judge Hanford
was intoxicated at that time, the wlt-
- Tiess -replied 7 - 1
"I should eay he was."
Attorney E. C. Hughes started to
cross examine Clark, but gave It up
abruptly when hp learned that the bar
ber shop wheru this Incident Is alleegd
to have happened adjoins the Saratogo
bar, a place where a number of wit
nesses said they had seen Judge Han
ford. Balllngtr Stays Off Stand.
The Hanford congressional committee
1b on lta twelfth days' investigation of
the charges of drunkenness alleged In
the lrr.pt- achment complaint against
Federal Judge Hanford. The first night
KPfision held by the committee last
night was occupied by the testimony
of Alfred Buttle, law partner of Rlch
nr:l A. UuHlnger, ex-secretary of the in
t fi lor, wtiu was principally Involved In
tiir conj-pdrncy ciisrge made by Attorney
.Terold Flncli In the Heckman and
Unntion bankruptcy case, which was
Hired before the committee for two
days. Balllngt-r whs present through
out the night session nd had been in
the courtroom all afternoon, preparing
the documentary evidence to which his
partner referred In his testimony. T ift
former cabinet minister, howevpr, did
not choose to take the witness stand
himself.
Liuttlo'H testimony throughout was an
attempt to explain a number of alleged
shady transactions charged to Ballinger
and other allorneys, and claimed liy
witnesses to have been countenanced by
Judse Hanford. Representative W. I.
McCoy frequently tilted with the wit
Less on questions of legal ethics.
Three others were called by the de
fense In connection wltn the Finch tes
timony. They were John H. Powell, L.
C. Turner and Ira Bronson. members of
the bar association committee which
whitewashed Ballinger several years
ago.
Frank A. Paul, a young attorney, tes
tified that he had seen Judge Hanford
In such a condition that "if It were not
that he was a federal Judge, one would
think he had been drinking to the ex
tent of Incipient Intoxication." He also
told of the judge frequently dozing on
the bench.
The committee yesterday called upon
William A. Slmonds, a reporter for the
Seattle Times, to explain the basis of a
, Story published In that paper that the
Hanford prosecution was prompted by
the vice and- whit . slave syndicate.
Blmonds said that Judge Hanford made
that complaint himself. He said he
! agreed with the Judge because he knew
the latter had sentenced many white
jWTer, Theartlcle, in auesjUQA ref eiied.
to the white slave syndicate having em
ployed detectives to shadow Judge Han
ford with the view of bringing about
his Impeachment.
Quite different from the previous of

which opened at the Lyric theatre Mon
day matinee. The new offering ia "Oh,
Yuu Bill," which is in keeping with the
times. It has no plot worth mentioning,

It aeen In his wonderful legerdemain
act that brings forth a round of noisy
applause at its finish. Mies Davis is
heard in "Hello Bill." a brand new song,
that captivated the audience. -Miss
Davis responded to no less than nine
encores, and then, unable to respond to
more, the audience contented Itself with
singinr It The barefoot, dance, which
was aeen last week, U also on . the bill,

same bill runs all week -with a daily
matinee and two performances every
night and the popular chorus girls' con
