At tlo rt'KUlur meeting of the Southern Orepun Jlar association held last night at the Hotel MeU ford, resolution wuh adopted fcii'orinp t'ircuit Jutlo Charles M. Thomas, whoso term expires to forrovv, for a statement made dur ing the last campaign. The reso lution was adopted by practically an unanimous vote. The Bur association at a pre vious meeting had called upon Judge Thomas for proof of his I'harges, and tho resolution sets forth that no reply was filed, as requested. The charge, contest ed by the attorneys was publish ed in newspapers of Jackson and Josephine counties. The association named a leg islative committee headed by At torney Newbury i subject to call to met with the members of tho lpglutiire before that body con vener and discuss measures for the good of the valley and the legal fraternity, nnd to confer with tho southern Oregon repre sentatives upon measures likely to affect thin section. The resolution adopted against Judge Thomas is as follows: "Uesolved by Southern Oregon Bar association at this January 5th, 1921) meeting, duly called and held for that, amongst other purposes, that Whereas Judge C M. .Thomas, judge of the Kirat Judicial das t rict of Oregon, on November 3. 1028, published over his ownsig naturc in newspapers circulating throughout Jackson nnd Jose phine counties, Oregon, tho fol lowing statement: 'For a long period of time ' prior to January 1, 1023 thero existed a practice on the part of a few attorneys of this distrct of keeping cases on the docket for years with the deliberate purpose of clouding real estate titles and compelling settlement in case of sale. This was noth ing shorL of blackmail, and it has been terminated. A party has no right to use the courts to annoy or harass his neigh bor." ' "And, whereas, at the meeting of this Association duly 'held at (.1 rants Pass, Oregon, on tho last (lay of December, 1928, a resolu tion was passed by this Associa tion demanding that said C. M. Thomas file with its secretary U'ithin ten days from tho date of laid resolution, a suueinent snow ing the names of the attorneys referred to in bis said charges; tho litlo Qf tho cases therein re ferred to,' and such other facts us are necessary to enablo this Association .to determine whether or not said charge is true; and Whereas, said resolution direct ed a copy thereof be forthwith served upon the the said C. AI. Thomas; and Whereas, It appears that said service was promptly made upon tho said C, At. Thomas, and he was so delivered such copy of said resolution; and Whereas, it was determined in mid resolution that this Associa tion should meet at this time and place for the purpose of con sidering such statement as might bo filed by said Judge Tomas, and also, if none should be filed in compliance with said resolution, then for the taking of such ac tion as the Association might find proper under tho circumstances; and Whereas, said C. At. Thomas has failed to make any reply to tho said demand, and has failed to supply this Association with any facts substantiating his said charge; and Whereas, this Association knows of no fact that would in any way substantiate or tend to substan tiate the charge made by said J udgo Thomas, and tho Associa tion finds said charge totbo false. Now therefore, bo it resolved that this Association condemns iho wild charge inado by said C. AI. Thomas as libelous and false; that the act of tho said Judge Thomas In making said false pub lication was and is unworthy of ii member of the bar, and that this Association doeH hereby con demn the same; that tho secre tary of this Association forthwith cause to be delivered to said C AI. Thomas n copy of this reso lution and that he give copies thereof to the press." ivWf "' 5 W&h; Vis -' -vv? wy mm iy gar liiti 3 1 Kat ... . ..
