HOPEWELL JUDGE FREED OF CHARGE Joint House and Senate Group Finds Accusation of Malfeasance False. Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., March 10.—Judge Thomas B. Robertson of the Hopewell Corporation Court was exonerated of charges of malfeasance in office and incompetency by & joint subcommittee of the House and Senate that had been appointed to hear the charges. The Teport was made last night and was to be_submitted to the Assembly today. The findings of the committee were contained in the following brief para- graph: Text of Finding. “The committee finds in favor of Judge Thomas B. Robertson on the issue joined, recommends that he be not removed from office, and that the petition be dismissed.” Charges had been brought against Judge Robertson by 14 members of the Hopewell bar, claiming “malfeasance in office, neglect of official duty, incom- petency and unfitness for the position of & judge.” One of the charges resulted from the commitment for contgmpt of court of J. W. Mapoles, Hopewell newspaper edi- tor, for failure to disclose the origin of & letter published in his paper. The committee states that in this case the evidence showed that Mapoles’ con- duct in the presence of the judge was such as to justify the punishment he Teceived. “Tempered With Mercy” ‘The report states that “at the most, it does appear that the complaints charged against Judge Robertson, where and if proved, cannot be characterized as wilful and corrupt. In fact, the record supports the conclusion that the respondent never gained in fortune nor in fame by the acts attributed to him; rather that he ‘tempered justice with mercy.' " The entire report of the committee covers 282 printed pages. ROOSEVELT WOULD SAVE FILIPINOS FROM USURY ‘Wants Money Lenders Who Prey on Families and Take Their Homes Punished.

Indications are that taxpayers will be present in large numbers, and that, faced with sharp curtailment of their own incomes and demanding & lighten- | ing of the tax burden, are preparing to give close scrutiny to expenditures pro- Pposed in the budget. With the passage of the Ferguson- Harman road bill, which now seems as- sured, the Loudoun supervisors will have to determine the disposition of surplus road funds here to the credit of the various road districts. It is esti- mated that funds now on hand to the credit of the six road districts in Lou- doun County, plus the amount to be re- ceived from the gas tax between now and July 1, with the amount due the districts from the general county fund, will, on July 1, aggregate between $75,- 000 and $80,000. | Disposition of the accumulated road fund rests with the board of supervisors. Suggestions by taxpayers as to the man- ner in which this surplus fund should be administered are likely to enter into | the discussions over the budget on March 28.
