Watts of New York Asks His Disbarment. REFERRED TO COMMITTEE Complaint Alleges Violation of the Constitution and Ethics of the American Bar Association and Many Other Offenses in Violation of Good Morals and Fair Dealings. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 1.— Charges that Joseph H. Choate, of New York, former ambassador from the United States to Great Britian, has been guilty of the violation of the con- stitution of the American Bar asso- ciation, in a failure to uphold the honor of the profession of the law, and a petition that he be expelled from the Bar association was presented to the American Bar association and referred to the committee on griev- ances. These charges were filed by James R. Watts of New York, through his attorney, George W. Chamlee of this city, 2 member of the Bar asso- ciation. The charges allege that Mr. Choate has violated the confidence of his cli- ents, James R. Watts and wife; that he has violated the canons of ethics of the American Bar association, has been guilty of divers and many of- fenses, in violation of good morals, fair dealings and has brought dishon- or and disgrace upon the American Bar association of the United States of America. The first charge has to do with cer- tain litigation entrusted to Mr. Choate and his associates in the firm of Ev- arts, Choate & Beaman of New York city and in an associate partnership with Treadwell of Cleveland. Agreement to “Sell Out.” The allegation is made that Mr. Choate was a party to an agreement to “sell out” a client in a suit in which $350,000 damages was claimed and in which an offer to compromise for $50,000 had been made. The suit was brought to trial and damages of only 6 cents were recovered. Other charges relate to an alleged wrongful appropriation of $750 collect- ed by the firm of Evarts, Choate & Beaman for Mrs. James R. Watts and the alleged wrongful retention of notes for $3,000 against solvent parties placed in the hands of Mr. Choate’s law firm for collection in 1891; and the failure of Mr. Choate’s firm to bring suit for $25,000 alleged to have been wrongfully in the possession of ‘Walter Weston in 1885. Mr. Choate is also taxed with the al- leged failure of his firm to account for about $1,000 collected by a receiver for the sale of certain business. The last charge is with reference to a suit in 1887 of Watts vs. Samuel B. Adler, in the New York supreme court, for collecting certain claims amount- ing to about $2,000, in which Mr. Watts claims to have lost a part of his money because of the alleged negli- gence of the firm of which Choate was the head. BIG COAL DOCK PLANNED Pittsburg Company Purchases Eighty Acres in Duluth, Duluth, Sept. 1.—The Carnegie Dock and Fuel company, a Pittsburg concern, a subsidiary of the Carnegie Coal company, has purchased from the Lowry Holding company of Min- neapolis eighty acres of dock proper- ty in this city, on which it will at once begin the construction of a coal dock to cost $750,000. The price of the dock property was $1,000 an acre and the land has a frontage of one- fourth mile on St. Louis bay. The land lies immediately east of the plant of the Zenith Furnace company at West Duluth. The dock is for the use of the Carnegie Coal company and when it is completed the company will have a large modern dock both in Su- perior and Duluth, the dock on the Superior side having lately been com- pleted. Believe Him Dangerous Crook. St. Paul, Sept. 1.—Members of the St. Paul police department are of the opinion that Charles P. Welsh, who was killed Tuesday by Alton G. Ray, chief special agent of the Great North- ern railway, after Welsh had tried to take his life, was a professional yegs- man. Detective Murnane, superin- tendent of the local Bertillon bureau, said that Welsh had a wide acquaint- ance among crooks and especially yeggmen, with whom he associated while acting as a private detective for the Great Narthern Prescription Our laboratory is exceptionally well ap- pointed for this kind of work.

New York, Sept. 1.—An unidentified woman was run over and killed short- ly before daybreak as she was attempt- ing to cross an uptown New York street by an automobile which was speeding to catch a train at Jersey City. In the automobile was a passenger attired in pajamas, raincoat and a hat. He had handed the driver $40 and given orders that he must catch his train at any expense. The passenger explained hastily to the police that he was on an important business mission and agreed to appear as a witness if needed and then hur- riedly chartered a passing taxicab and continued on his way. INCREASE IN RATES OF LITTLE GONGERN Santa Fe Statistician Belittles Effect of Raise. Chicago, Sept. 1.—James Peabody, statistician of the Santa Fe system, belittled the effect of the proposed freight rate advance when he took the witness stand in the interstate com- merce commission hearing. “If the proposed advance were to be put into effect and to remain in ef- fect for one year,” said Mr. Peabody. “the Santa Fe would earn only $94,000 more than it is earning right now.” There was no abatement of interest when the examination was taken up. The courtroom was crowded with law- yers, shippers and representatives of the 202 railroads involved. Mr. Peabody, who was the first wit- ness, came into court laden with sta- tistics covering the years 1903-1910. These he analyzed, answering ques- tions put by Attorney Frank Lyon of the commission. The statistician asserted that it is an accepted principle amongst stu- dents of railway management that from 1 to 2 per cent of the valuation of roads shall be set apart as a sink- ing fund for permanent improvements, such as track elevation, block signals, switches and depots. Hill Denies Reported Purchase. St. Paul, Sept. 1.—James J. Hill emphatically denied the report that the Northern Pacific had bought the Chicago Great Western. He voiced several reasons why such a deal should not he made, the principal ene being that the Northern Pacific does not need the Chicago Great Western. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat.

FANOUS BAKESHOP CASE Declares That the Alleged Attack Up- on the United States Supreme Court by the Ex-President Will Not Be Ap- Proved by the Bench and Bar and Thoughtful Pecple of the Country. New York, Sept. 1.—Judge Alton B. Parker, who wrote the prevailing opin. lon of the court of appeals of New York in the “bakeshop case,” mention of which was made by Theodors Roosevelt in his recent address to the Colorado legislature, in which the for- mer president criticised the supreme court of the United States, made the following statement in defense of the Supreme court: - “It is safe to assert that the attack upon the supreme court of the United States by Mr. Roosevelt will not be ap- proved by the bench and bar and the thoughtful people of this country. “It happens that in the case of Peo- ple vs. Lochner, referred to in the ad- dress as the ‘the-bakeshop case,’ the prevailing opinion of the court of ap- peals of this state was written by my- self, with concurring opinions by Judges Gray and Vann. Judges O’Brien and Bartlett wrote dissenting opinions; so that in all five opinions were written in the court of appeals, showing the appreciation by that court of the fact that the question was a very close ome about which minds must differ. Narrow Dividing Line. “The history of this case indicates how narrow was the dividing line be- tween upholding and rejecting the statute. “The trial judge held the statute constitutional, the appellate division affirmed his decision by a vote of 3 to 2, and the court of appeals affirmed the appellate division by a vote of 4 to 3. The supreme court of the United States reversed the court of appeals by a vote of 5 to 4. “Every judge in every court gave to this important question his best effort, which is strongly evidenced by the dif- ferences of view of the members in the several courts. That fact should be quite sufficient to protect the great- est court in the world from offensive criticism from any source, and es- pecially - from one who heretofore manifested his dissatisfaction with a department of government, which was performing the independent functions conferred upon it by the Constitution, 80 as to neither encroach upon its co- ordinate departments of government nor allow them td'encroach upon it.” CRAWFORD'ON MEXICAN TRIP South Dakota Senator to Represent America at Celebration.

New York, Sept. 1.—The Socialist party is to make a special effort dur- ing the next two. years to make con- verts among the officers and men of the United States army, according to Edward F. Cassidy, general organizer. “There was for some time a ques- tion as to whether army men were sidy in a statement issued here. “Na- tional Secretary J. M. Barnes has care- fully gone over the question, however, and finds that there is nothing to ex- clude them. The prospects of con- | verting many army men to socialism are very bright. Groups of officers sta- | tioned in the Philippines and a num- ber of army officers in other places have recently sought membership and are anxious for a co-operation with party mem in general in promot- ing a national agitation in the army fer socialism.” COPPER MAGNATE IS MARRIED F.
