FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1912. IWGHMT OF. JUDGE DEMANDED I Berger Tells Congress Seattle Jurist, Hanford, Is Corrupt and a Drunkard. WASHINGTON, June 7.—The im peachment of Federal Judge Cornelius H. Hanford, of Seattle, Wash, on th* grounds of "habitual drunkenness, cor ruption and decisions flagrantly in vio lation of law" formally was demanded of the house today by Representative Berger, the Socialist member from Wis consin. Rising to a question of per sonal privilege, the representative de livered a scathing Indictment of the jurist, reciting among his charges the case wherein he revoked the natural ization papers of Leonard Oleson be cause he was a Socialist, and his in junction in the alleged Interests of the Seattle. B*nton and Southern railway. The resolutions of impeachment are in part as follows: "Resolved, That the committee on ju diciary be directed to inquire and re port .whether the action of this house is necessary concerning the official mis conduct of Cornelius H Hanford; whether he has been repeatedly in a drunken condition while presiding in court; whether he has been guilty of corruption in the conduct of his of fice, and whether his administration has resulted in injury and wrong to liti gants in his court and to others affected by his derisions.” Wickersham Sees “Gross Injustice.” Among the specifications in the reso lution of impeachment is the statement ■ that Oleson, w ho is a Socialist, was de prived of his right to vote without due process of lav.. In this connection a letter was produced from Attorney General Wickersham stating that, in the opinion of the department of jus tice, Oleson has suffered a "gross in justice." Berger added that Hanford's repu tation for rendering corrupt decisions "is a matter of long standing noto riety." He declared that on one occa sion 5,000 citizens held a mass meeting to protest against* one of his decisions. In the street ear Injunction. Berger declared, public sentiment was so aroused when Judge Hanford forbade the railway carrying out its contract regarding street improvements that he shortly afterward dissolved the injunc tion. By r.n unanimous vote th* house or dered Representative Berger's resolu tion sent to the judiciary committee for immediate action. The drastic wording of the resolution caused some criticism by Representa tive McCall, of Massachusetts. This was opposed by Minority Leader Mann, Chairman Clayton, of the judiciary committee, and others.

I STUART’S IUCHU AND JUNIPER COMPOUND 1 CUStS KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLE 1 , Up and Down Peachtree “Keep Off the Roof” Warnings Common. "Keep Off the Grass” has given way in the business section of Atlanta to a “Keep Off the Roof" sign, which is nearly as common as the warnihgs which used to be posted on various lit tle grass plots downtown. Hardly any place has been left in the congested business section where a warning against trampling on the grass could be posted, but high on the flat, roofs of numerous buildings warnings that no lineman or other person must trespass are posted conspicuously. Property owners say that in many cases their roofs are on the same level with roofs of other buildings and that w-hen telephone linemen are busy stringing wire to one building they will make cross-cuts over their roofs and that hatchways and other openings to the roof are left uncovered, allowing rain to soak the upper floors. Moral: Keep in With The Head Waiter. It’s tough to have a certain winner picked at the track and not a cent in your pocket; it's worse to have a next morning thirst and never the price of a tall one; but to .have coin in your purse, a healthy appetite,, a table full of guests at the biggest and fanciest priced hotel in Georgia and then starve for an hour Is the ultimate limit, ac cording to a man who vjsfted Atlanta In grand opera week. It all happened because he got in bad with the head waiter and his satellites. This particular head waiter Is said to be worth about a quarter of a million, anyway, and naturally he Is chesty. And this man had offended him. Mr Man invited an opera star and several friends to.dine. They found a table in the main dining room. Mr. Man was all smiles. "Now, we’ll have everything on the card from soup to nuts," he said. “Tj?e waiters all know me. Watch them hustle.” They waited. They waited some more. Then they waited a while long er. Then Mr. Man called the captain of the servitors. "Why can't we be served?” he asked, hungrily. The captain was very sorry. He ran to a side table, grabbed a bunch of menu cards and hurried toward the hungry party. Just then the head waiter emerged from his studio. He clutched the cap tain by the arm and whispered. The captain went back to the kitchen. Mr. Man caught an ordinary waiter. This on* also hastened to pleas*. The head waiter caught his eye and he dis appeared. The same thing happened to the next one, and the next. One had served the ice water and taken an extensive order before the grand mogul gave him his instructions, but he never came back. Mr. Man drew out his watch. They had waited an hour. “Oh, let's go down to the grill room," he said. "I know a negro down there who'll wait on us.” And they all agreed that the grill was, really the most fun, anyway. Clayton Robson For Women Chauffeurs. Clayton Robson, who lives in JIII - in town, too—and spends all of his spare time in Atlan ta has he any other time? —How does l'p and Down Peachtree know? —en- vies nobody his automobile. Not that he has anything whatever against eijher in general or particular: but he would rather stand in the Peachtree street entrance of the Kimball and watch them go by, up and down, here and there, hither and yon. as he puts it, any old day, than to 'own them and have to pay taxes on them and hire chauffeurs to run them and purchase gasoline for them —all of which costs good money, and the things wearing out and punc turing tires, and that sort of business. "If I had my way," said Robson to day, "I would have all the automobiles run by women. They've got mors sense about manipulating a car than any man I ever saw, anyway. You never hear of a woman running an automobile be yond the speed limit. On the contrary, they take Just as much time as they possibly car. to get by a given point. They want to give you plenty of time to see them -bless them! That's why I I approve of women chauffeurs'” TENNESSEE RAILROAD COMMISSION JOINS IN OPPOSING RATE RAISE NASHVILLE, TENN..

M’KEE DEPLORES ill FLIRTATION Postmaster ♦ Would Like to See General Delivery Closed to Protect Girls. ♦ “I would like to see the 'general-de livery’ window closed in order to stop the clandestine correspondences young girls carry on-through it to their ulti mate ruin,” said Postmaster H..L. Mc- Kee, “but you can not close the win dow. There are hundreds of people who come into Atlanta every day and who don’t know where they are going to stay until they get here. They have to give their'addresses as 'general de liver}’.’ ■ "Just how much of this flirtation goes on through the mails without the knowledge of parents or guardians ’ is impossible to estimate, but postoffice officials know that it is large. "However certain we are of it, we can do nothing to stop it. A letter addressed to ‘generaj delivery - must he held at that window and not delivered to the street address of the party, though that may be known to the clerks, and, of course, much of this sort of correspondence is carried on under an assumed name. “It’s simply one case where the bur den of correcting the evil lies in the parents; there is apparently nothing that we can do to aid them.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
