I would not these questions, but the complaint has come from a very high an unimpeachable source.” He then referred to the report of the Bar Association of the District, which was adopted with only two dissenting votes.

Mr. Blanton insisted that Mr. Ru- dolph should know where every dollar of the $72,000 of the money appropri- ated by Congress for the District is ex- pended, Mr. Rudolph became some- what nettled and answered that he was not a superman, and pointed out that he had been charged with running a hardware busines a bank, hotels, | zoning, public utilities, etc., stating that he could not hold s Jjobs and know all the detalls. Mr. Rudoiph said that the appropriations commit- tee specifies what the money is spent for, and Mr. Blanton came with the challenge that “it's up to 3 to see that it's spent according to the Jaw. All of your subordinates can be discharged by you with a scrateh of the pen, so you can't pass the huck. Mr. Gibson questoned the Commi sioner about the penal institution and Mr. Rudolph explained that the new public welfare board will be di- rectly under the District Commission- ers, where the Board of Charities now is not. He admitted that he knew about the forms of punishment at the workhouse, about chains and iron bands being riveted on ankles of pris- oners who had attempted to escape and stir up trouble. Mr. Rudolph agreed with Chairman Gibson that it an artempt to escape was made a penitentiary offense it might relieve the officlals from being obliged to chain the prisoners, and sald he would welcome such an improvement. Mr. Gibson said: “Our purpose in making this inquiry is to find a way to cor- vect such dificulties,” and he paid a tribute to the humanitarian system es- tablished at Lorton and Occoquan, the first institutions of their kind in the world without walls. Asks About Punishment Post. i When Mr. Blanton questioned him regarding insufficiency of food for in- mates, Mr. Rudolph stated that pri oners welgh more when they leave the institution than when they come there. Mr. Blanton also questioned Mr. Rudolph about a punishment post in the District jail, renewing his state. ment that a colored girl 18 years old had been chained to the post with her arms behind her back until she drop- ped from exhaustion. Commissioner Rudolph said that if that was true it was “inhuman.” Mr. Rudolph promised Mr. Blanton that there would be no punishment posts in the new wing to the jail, on which the House takes final action to- day, authorizing an appropriation of $300,000 for that purpose. Mr. Blanton let Mr. Rudolph know emphatically that he is bitterly op- posed to the possibility of W. W. Millan, now president of the Board of Children’s Quardians, being considered for appointment to the new Welfare tin | Traction Co., and who | for the Capitz of World War veterans for | to the committee did | competitor | | ing about the business of the Rudolph | | was not called as a witness because been shown, but that to his mind there was conclusive proof that the court had not heen as jealous as he believed it should be of the liberty of citizens and their property Mr. Gilbert questioned Hoehling at lensth on the [ and_ concerning the which the court can go in persons to jail for contempt. He got from Justice Hoehling an admission that looking at this case retrospectively it would have been better to have brought the prisoner into court for a full accounting after one week in jall instead of after hree months. Justice Hoehling said 1 think it would have been better— I am frank to say.” Justice ioeh- ling again explained that in this « it was a close family affair between sisters and brothers, and he thought that under the circumstances he was ctin in the st interests of the estate, Justice Brosnan limits to sending Position of Judiciary. Justice Hoehling agreed with Mr Gilbert that there should be a limit for contempt. \r. Gilbert ther Ked Justice Hoehling for his ideas in re rd to the judiciary, questior him whether it was b belief that the Federal judiciary, as contem plated by the framers of the Consti tution, should be entirely free. e suggested that they should have n life terry and sufficient pay, and that | th should not be employed in any apacity by men who practice before their court.

Asks About Loans. Mr. Blanton asked if it was ethical for a. justice of the Supreme Court to borrow a large sum of money from a corporation that has litigation before | his court, in which case he sits judge. He said this did not refer at all to Justice Hoehling, but that another tice has borrowed $2,500 from the Munsey Trust Co. and that this doesn't look good to the legal fra ternity or to the public. Mr. Gibson questioned Justice Hoebling regarding proposed estab- lishment of a probate court, and the | justice stated that a new division of probate in the Supreme Court is de- sirable to take care of estates of de- ceased persons, lunacy cases and di- vorce cas Wilton J. Lantbert, who was pres- ent to substantiate some of the statements made by Justice Hoehling, Mr. Gilbert desires to prepare himself to examine and cross-examine Mr. Lambert and was not ready to do it | last night. Mr. Lambert placed him- self at the disposal of the committee when it desires his testimony. | Justice McCoy was questioned rath- er sharply by Mr, Gilbert regarding the Helen Morris case, in which Jus tice McCoy had signed an order based | on a petition for appointment of a re- celver. Mr. Gilbert claimed that the woman had never been served with a notice, that there had been no hea ing, that she had never been declared of unsound mind, and he produced the papers in the case, which Justice McCoy identified, including his own signature. Mr. Gilbert's contention was that the proceedings in this case show that a person could have his property taken away from him with- out having had any opportunity for a hearing. He showed that the same court had later held that this woman | did not need any receiver, but that she had been put to considerable trouble and expense, and that the re- ceiver and his attorney had both been paid fees out of her estate. Justice 's defense was that he acted on affidavits signed by two physicians de- claring this woman to be of unsound mind, and to protect her estate be- cause a power of attorney had been given to some one to convey her property. ‘Fenning’s Actions Questioned. Mr. Gilbert also questioned Justice McCoy about the Mary Ellen S‘::J‘!‘.e:‘ case, in which Mr. Fenning had filed a petition for appointment as commit- tee, setting forth that she had been for 18 months or two years in such mental condition as to make her unfit for making a valid deed of contract and then within 12 days he had exe- cuted her will, receiving a fee of $300 from a $1,700 estate. Justice McCoy said, “Our practice isn't by any means what I would Iike to see it.” Mr. Gil- bert again emphasized that he was not ng his examination particularly rding that one case, but to show anger in the practice. Justice McCoy said, “I realize the danger of those proceedings, but T was between a Svylla and Charybdis. In one alter- native the property might he dissi- duties in court, and he belioved it to ! | be a distinct loes to young men and | ures by | | now Gibson subcommittee o grant every { committed it | | tuted. | specific illustrations of inmates of the pated and in the other an injustice might e done.” Mr. Gilbert ed that the “error Is too often™n favor ntend- | of the person looking for fees instead of the person whose property is e dangered Justice McCoy said, agree with you.” Mr. Gilbert again emphasized that line of questioning was to divulge the ) ‘tice of the court and not di rected against the integrity of the ju- diciary -or with any thought of disclos- ing corvuption. Mr. Blanton questioned regarding atute limitations on auditors’ fees, Wl Justice McCoy explained that that limit was for sheer examination of dssets and not whem trying the case. Mr. Blanton pointed out that the court had allowed Miss Helen Losano, a stenographer in, Mr. Fen ni office, notary fees in many cases out of the estates of shell shocked veterans. At this stage Jus- tice McCoy sald, “Please don't ask me to pass on something I may have to pass upon later in court. Served Paper on Lunatic. Blanton questioned Justice Mc regarding the Charles L. Cun 2 case, in_which Paul V. Rogers and Mr. Fenning appeared attorneys and in which the U marshal got a fee for servin on a lunatic contined in St. Eli se. The justice confess I never saw much us but we've got to serve on xome one.” Mr. Blanton also read a letter from Justice McCoy to Paul V. Rogers, ad- vising him regarding the method of filing papers in court and under what section of the law. Mr. Blanton asked, “Is it the duty of the court in struct an attorney how to b : law?” Justice McCoy explained th: the time of the court was in a far measure consumed with glving ady to old and young attorne arding the formali and pro My Iilanton contended that in view of the fact that the court knew that Mr. Rogy nd Mr, Fenning were asso ciated in the pra of law they have heen grante attorneys’ fees for a small amount of work.
