JUDGE HANFORE RESIGNS.
SEATTLE, July 22. Forced to
action by revelation that be, while
judging railroad cauea, bad learned
railroad laxeH, apparently In return
lor "friendly relations," and, it In re
ported, spurred on by leiiuest of
President Taft, United Sttei Dlatrl-t
Judge Cornelius II. Hanford, under
Impeachment Investigation by a com
ni 1 1 tee of congress, today resigned.
Whether or not tbe Impeachment
Investigation shall be continued tbe
congressional sub-committee which
baa been probing Hanford'a Judicial
acts and his private life could not
ay. They have wired to congress for
direction. They are expected this af
ternoon when the sittings of the com
mittee will re-open at 2 o'clock.
Hanford assigned as his reason for
resigning that his lu-alth Is poor.
Throughout the Inquiry to date
scores of witnesses have testified that
Hanford was addicted to the exces
sive use of liquor and some oi them
declared him to have acted Inde'ent
ly In public places. In addition to
tills a number of witnesses have
suown that his action In appointing
receivers fur various business con
cerns in unci about h'eattle was far
fr"m being above suspicion.
The llnnford defense collapsed ap
parently when tbe Investigating com
mittee showed a determined effort to
get at the bottom oi Judge Han
ford's alleged buslne. - deals with
litigants. The Hai. i. ilecisiou re
ducing (lie Nortberii ! a. ill' railway's

A letter from Carl G. Grill, who
left here some weeks ago to enter
your I'to le Samuel's employ in the
railway mail service, writes the Cour
ier from l.aGrande, Oregon, his run
beini! between that point and Joseph.
In writing of the territory through
which his now duties take him, Mr.
Grill says:
"La Grande .Is in the Grande
koiule valley, taking its name from
the Grande Ronde river, which flows
thru it It is some 2, "oh odd feet In
elevation and is a rich farming sec
tion. Some fifteen or twenty miles
out the valley narrows until it finally
becomes the Grande Ronde canyon.
The mountains rise In majestic gran
deur from tht; river and are covered
to some extent with pine and fir.

the (liande Ronde. A steel girder
bridge spans the river. The road
here leaves the Grande Ronde and
heads southeast up the Wallowa, also
a canyon. Just before arriving at
Wallowa city, tlie canyon widens out
and becomes the Wallowa valley.
This is a rich wheat section. I am
told, while stock-raising is also en
tered into, more so up towards
Joseph than in this locality. Vast
herds of sheep and cattle are shipped
from this willey. The country U a

HANFORD S RESIGNATION'
CONFESSION OF GITLT.
'
WASHINGTON, July 22.
r "I tak Judge Hanford a reslg-
nation as an admission of his 4
guilt," was the statement. here
today of Congressman Berger of
Wisconsin, "who introduced the
resolution calling for the 1m- !
peachment of the Seattle jurist. 4 .
When Informed that Hanford
had tendered his resignation to j
President Taft, uerger said: j
"In Intorduelng my resolu- j
tion calling for action against
Hanford, I was fighting corrup-
tlon on the bench generally and
not Judge Hanford personally.
The Hanford and Archbald cases 4
are splendid argumnets for the J
recall of judges. It would be a j
mighty good thing for th? coun-
try if a couple of dozen more f
United States Judges would re- j
sign or be recalled by the peo- ,
pie. The present system of lm- j
peachment Is unsatisfactory, ;
y cumbersome and costly. The '
fact that Hanford resigned Is a
confession that I had a good
case against him and that my
action was justified. I had oth-
er undisclosed evidence against j
him and he probably knew It !
was coming." .
