Seattle, Wash., July 12. Denying the
allegation In Judge C. H. Hanford Im
peachment complaint that he received
excessive fees, James A. Kerr, receiver
In the Alaska Packers' case, this after
noon concluded his testimony before the
congressional investigators.
The complaint charged that 2140,000
had been allowed Kerr as receiver and
to E. S. McCord, Kerr's partner, who
acted as attorney for the receiver. Kerf
testified, . however, that they received
only 190,000 approximately , between
them, but that other receivers appointed
in New York, New Jersey and Alaska,
also received fees in that case. He con
tended that Judge Hanford did not allow
greater fees than were allowed in the
other states. Kerr devoted three years,
he said, exclusively in the receivership
business, giving up a luoratlve law prac
tice, which he claimed was more profit
able. He said that McCord had litiga
tion on his hands for seven years. Kerr
claimed that In view of the fact that
about $6,000,000 was handled by him,
the fee allowed by Judge Hanford was
not exorbitant. McCord will be called
as a witness early next week.
Following Kerr, Councilman Austin E.
Griffith was called by the defence to

Griffith,' who was on the other side of
the case, denied this. .
" Judge Hanford. With the exception of
a' few minutes on two or three days, was
not In the courtroom during the pro
ceedings this week. '.'
The investigation of the charge of
drunkenness is practically concluded, al
though Attorney John H. Perry, 1 who
filed a separate complaint. in addition to
Congressman Berber's impeachment
charges, is yet to bs called. Over 100
witnesses were examined on the phase
of the . investigation, many of these
being personal friends and attorneys in
timately acquainted with Hanford, who
testified they never saw him drunk.
However, 27 witnesses swore they saw
Judge Hanford positively drunk on
street cars, in saloons, in a barber shop
and on the streets. Five testified that
he appeared drunk on the bench. A
score of witnesses testified that he ap
peared drowsy.
.Bald Hanford Froteoted Bollinger.
During the week the name of Richard
A. Bellinger, ex-secretary of the inter
ior, was involved in the Hanford probe
In the testimony of Attorney JerOld L.
Finch. The latter charged Hanford with
deliberately' refusing to investigate
charges of fraud in a bankruptcy case
when it became apparent that Balllnger
was mixed up In it. "
Ex-United Senator Samuel H. Piles,
also became Involved early In the week
when he was grilled about an interview
he Tiad with John H. Perry in an effort
to have the latter drop the Hanford Im
peachment. With the end of the Investigation into
the charge of drunkenness, the end of
the probe by the congressional sub-committee
in Seattle is In sight Matters
that will be taken up next week will
chiefly deal with receivership and bank
ruptcy cases, most of which will require
no oral testimony but will merely in
volve the examination of court records.
It la probable that with night sessions.
ss contemplated by the committee, the
Investigation wll be ooncluded by the
end of next week.

Climax, of Hot Political Battle
In Lone Star State Will
Come This Week When Pri

Dallas, Texas, July 13 One of the
hottest political battles in the history
of Texas will reach its climax during the
coming week. On July 20, the' Demo
cratic voters of the state will engage in
a state-wide primary to select a suc
cessor to Joseph W. Bailey, in the
United States senate, and to nominate
for governor and' minor state officers.
The fight for Bailey's seat in the sen
ate began last winter, immediately after
uauey announced he intended to retire.
Since then the fight has been so hot
that two of the leading candidates col
lapsed and were forced to withdraw.
Congressman Morris Sheppard, however,
has "come back" and will finish the
race. 1
Sheppard was the first to start,
backed by the Bryan wing of the party.
within a, month he was forced to re
tire because of broken health and Cone
Johnson tbok up the fight for the rad
icals. Johnson, however, found that the
pace set by the Bailey faction, who
sought to name their own successor to
the senate, was too hot He was forced
to retire to a sanitarium in Fort Worth
to recuperate. Sheppard had been in
a sanitarium since his collapse, but
when Johnson broke down he said he
was ready to resume the fight.
Colonel F. J. Wolters, of Houston' Is
the conservative candidate for Bailey's
placet Sheppard is .a progressive, favor
ing the initiative, referendum and recall.
Wolters is violently opposed to these re
forms. But the progressives point to
the results of the primaries and state
convention, this spring, when the Bailey
orowd was hopelessly beaten and the
state delegation to Baltimore Instructed
for Wilson, a the basis for the claims
of a sweeping vlotory. - -

lng to present plans the new 28,000 ton
dreadnaaght Wyoming, the great all-big-
gun battleship that Is destined to be the
flagship of the United States Atlantic
fleet, will put to sea to undergo her of
ficial trials. Her sister ship, the Arkan
sas, has already had her preliminary
trials, and, steaming over the Rockland,
Maine, course, averaged a speed of over
21 knots an hour, which exceeds by , a
knot the speed called for in her build
ers' , contract. The naval experts wha
have followed the construction of the
Wyoming believe that she also will more
than fulfill all of the requirements of
her contract, , '
The addition of the Arkansas and Wy
oming will make eight vessels of the
dreadnought type In the Atlantic fleet
These eight, vessels carry a total of 80
guns of the 12-lnch type, every one of
which can be fired simultaneously In
either the starboard or port broadside.
The total displacement of the Atlahtla
fleet dreadnoughts when the Arkansas
and Wyoming are added will be l7,Jf
tons. To man these eight dreadnoughts,
724S officers and men will be required.
