In two decisions lhal tho commerce
court has no authority; to Issue. In
junctions to stop the "negative" or
ders of the Interstate comemrco com
mission, the United States supreme
court today emphatically settled tho
long standing feud between tho court
and tho commission Iu regard to
jurisdiction.
"Such power," said Chief Justice
White, referring to commerco court
Injiintlons against tho commission,,
"could wlpo out tho ontlro history
of the Interstate commerco commis
sion net, and do violence to the very
purposos of that measure. It would
create disorders and confusion."
In the first cases appealed from
the commerce court testing the court's
o.uhqrity to review tho rates which
I lie interstate commerco commission
fixes, tho supremo court upheld tho
comm'Isslon, dealing a sweeping blow
to tho commorco court. Tho ruling
was announced iu two cases ono iu
which tho commission was upheld In
the sustaining by tho supremo court
of tho commission's demurrage
charges on private cars, nnd tho oth

Four Counts of Unfitness for Office
Alleges Hanford Is Morally and Tem
pcrmentally Unfit to Preside and a
Disgrace to This Country.
WASHINGTON, June 7. -Chnrgin
that Judgo Cornelius II. Hanford of
the United States district court of
Washington state is a "hnhitu.il
drunkard nnd morally and tempera
mentally unfit to hold a judicial po
sition," Congressman Victor L. Bur
ger of Wisconsin introduced n reso
lution in the house today directing
the committee on judiciary to investt
gntec his charges, nnd. if substanti
ated, to recommend IIanford'8 im
peaehinent. When the resolution wus
referred to committee, Ucrgcr aroo
on u question of the highest privilege
and entered into a scathing arraign
ment of the Seattle jurist. He said,
in part:
An Habitual Drunkard
"I accuse Judgo ffnnford of being
an habitual drunkard. I charge tluit
iie,finmiTfc(l on JfiiyM.T, Th viqlntion of
the oonstitution. tho naturalization
papers of Leonard Olsson, a citizen
of Taeomn. I chargo that ho issued
in a collusive suit of August Peabndy
against the Seattle, Kenton & South
ern railway in August, 1011, nn in
junction in tho interests of the com
pany nnd ngninst tho interests of tho
citizens of Seattle, fluRrantly violat
ing justice nnd law. I charge that ho
is morally and temperamentally unfit
to hold judicial position. I charge
him with having been guilty of a long
scries of unlawful and corrupt de
cisions." Committee Itcport Asked
Merger's resolution directs the
committee to report if Judgo Hanford
"has been repcatecdly in a drunken
condition while presiding in courts
whether he hits been guilty of corrupt
ministration has resulted in injury
and wrong ( litigants and others nnd
whether he is guilty of misbehavior
for which ho should bo impeached."
Four detailed charges, designated
as "siiecificalioiitf," are attached to
the resolution. Horger shortly will
appear before the committee iu iui
attempt to substantiate his charges.
He claims that he has scores of affi
davits against Judge Hanford from
representative citizens of Washington
cities mid towns.
