Washington, Juna 5. President Taft and Attorney-General Wlclter- sham ordered today the United States officials at Seattle to grant a new trial to Leonard Olsson, the Socialist, whose citizenship was cancelled by I'nlted States Judge Cornelius H. Han ford, of the Western district of Wash ington. No decision ever rendered on the Pacific coBHt aroused keener dlBcuB slonthan which followed Judge Han ford's ruling In the Olsson rase. Socialists throughout the country "were especially bitter In their criti cism of the Seattle Jurist, the recent Socialist convonton at Indianapolis refusing to take drastic action only when Congressman Bcrger of WIs cn8ln, promised to Introduce a reso lution in congress calling for Han ford's impeachment. Berger plans to introduce such a resolution this week. Judge llanford nnnulled Olsson's citizenship papers because the latter admitted that ha Is a Socialist, the jurist explaining In lis ruling that DIVORCE Oil IT OF WOMAN GOES TO PORTLAND, 1IOXOK MAX (JOES TO THE TEN AM) THE HISHAND STOICALLY "(JOES IT ALONE." A divorce was granted yesterday by Judge Galloway to George Keus her from Clara Kiieseher, on a charge of adultery. This Is the case in which Mrs. Kuegcher was accused of illicit relations with one Clyde An deson, alias Jack Iasp, an "honor man" of the Oregon penitentiary. An derson was brought back and placed in the penitentiary to serve the re mainder of his term. In granting the decree, Judije Gal loway scored Mr. Knescher severely for taking a paroled convict Into his borne, but. lie pleaded Ignorance of the character of such fellows, thinking, perhaps, that when the governor pa roled a man that this meant that he was all right. This is bis first experi ence with paroled convicts, nnd, suf fice It to Bay, It Is enough. Airs. Keiischer was in Salem last week, but was taken to Portland by two mints, who now believe that they can make good women out of her, as the evil Influence of the convict Is removed. All property rights have been set tled nnd the lli-year-old son was awarded to the custody of the father. The Owl Net lIMc. Pasadena, Cal., June 5.

The court con cluded by adding that because of his opinions "Olsson had no reverence for the constitution nor Intention to support and derend it agulnst ene mies when he applied for citizen ship." Olsson's case was probably the first In the history of the country when a man's citizenship was can celled by court procedure because of political opinions and many legal au thorities maintained that if It were sustained by the higher courts, It would lead to the deprivation of the citizenship rights of thousands of Socialists. Congressman Merger, following the decision of President Taft and Attor ney General Wickersham, announced that tomorrow he will present in the house an impeachment indictment against 'Judge Hunford. Berger had conferred with President ,Taft and Wickersham, and declared that both repudiated Hanford's ruling In the Olsson ense and promised to furnish all government papers If the house decides to proceed agulnst the Seat tle Jurist. Attorney General Wickersham wroto to Congressman Berger on the cuse as follows: "I have instructed the United States attorney at Seattle to facili tate In every way the opening of the decree and securing for Olssen a new trial. Falling that he shall appeal to the circuit court. I have further no tified the United States attorney that, on the facts stated by llanford in his decision, he department of Jhstlce be lieves a great Injustice has boen done Olsson. "After you left here I found upon Investigation, that the department had already caused Inquiries to be made into the case. It was found that tin) proceeding against Olsson was Initiated at the Instance of one of thft local Seattle officers of the department of commerce anil labor was brought by the Seattle district attorney."

The decision of the supreme court invalidating the South Salem sower assessments ere a general topic of Interest. To get at some 'of the meat of tho controversy it must be recalled that the original fit'mate In the sewer Involved in tiif case f Ituu dell vs. the Oty tf Salem, was t!4C,. 672.81, and'tio contririor would tke tno Job at thru. To lowest bidders were a Portland firm, at $17S,440. To this was udticd $10,000 for engineering expense and 25 per cent tor covering all contingencies, which added $54,000 to the contract price. On this basis Mr. Randall's assessment figured out $1847.04, and against this assessment hi attorney, Frank Holmes, brought suit against the city, on the ground of Improper notice, Incorrect descrip tions, Incorrect map and unjust as sessment, and the supreme court finds all these things to have been as al leged. The other South .Sulum case is Jones vs. the City of Saloin, submit ted on brief by Ionian & Pogue. Mr. Holme "was the only attorney who had any faith In his ability to over throw the unjust assessment after the case against, the city In North Salem was decidedly adversely to the remon strants. He appeared In oral argu ment with City Attorney Grant Corby May 29, and addressed the supreme court for an hour and a half, and It was on his showing of the weak points In the city' proceeding In making this sewer assessment that the case was won for the property owners. The other cases were submitted on brief, with' but little or no expectation of winning, and Mr. Holmes feels he killed the hear. The complaint In the other case were amended in ac cordance with his brief, as he had cited new case for Ills cliontB and dug up new authorities bearing on the case. Properly Owners fan Recover.

It was not neces sary for them to protest at the time they paid or bonded the property. They did so under representation by the city that all atop tuken were le gal. They paid or bonded under threat from the city that their property would ho sold, No protest waa neces sary. They paid an Illegal assess ment that was represented to them by the official as a legal assessment Tho supreme court has held that the citizen need not act a guardian over the offlolni, but bag a right to pre sume that official acts are legal, and that all official proceeding are con ducted In a perfectly legal and up right manner, which wo not the case In this procedure, nor In any part ot It."
