On the whole it was one fine night It gave the average citizen his chance, He took it and cut loose, So did his wife, nd his son and his daughter.

THROW LIGHT GOLDSMITH ACTIVITY Government Investigators Probe Alleged Attempt to Prevent Seattle Credit Men From Presenting Evidence Against Hanford—Witness Repeats Speech He Says Goldsmith Made—Goldsmith’s Company Was Let Off With $25 Fine by Hanford. T alleged attempt of James 8, Goldsmith of the Schwabacher Co. to block the plans of the Seattle Merchants’ and Credit Men's ase sociation to present evidence to the congressional committee in ree ceivership cases was the subject of the probe this forenoon. GOLDSMITH COULD FIX IT H. L. Klock, -wholesale produce man, testified that Goldsmith: made the statement to the merchants’ committee “that if the asso ciation dropped the proceedings, and would not take action, he felt confident he could go to Judge Hanford himself and see that the grievances of the werchants were righted; that be thought he could induce Judge Hanford to appoint such receivers as would be more satisfactory than those in the past.” According to Kiock, Goldsmith said: “While the old man (Judge pret may have his faults, he is not much worse than other federal judges.” Klock testified that Goldsmith also said: “I must admit that the cid man bas possibly outlived the days of his usefulness. Neverthe less, | would willingly submit any ease in which I was interested to his decision. While the old man might take drinks, he probably felt that It was necessary for him to have stimulants in order to keep up with the great amount of his work.” According to Klock, Goldsmith then denounced the congressional investigation as a socialistic fight; that the credit for any informa» tion that would be given by the merchants would be claimed by the socialists, Goldsmith therefore urged the committee, said Klock, against co-operating with the congressional investigators, ere KLOCK ATTACKED JUDGE Klock said he took the opposite view from Goldsmith, and tha during the debate Klock declared that Judge Hanford, in his opini was also unfitted for a place on the bench “for taking part in a trarisag tion which tended to deprive or defraud the school children and pom terity of valuable school lands.” REFERS TO HANFORD LAND CO, Klock explained to the congressional committee that he referred to the Hanford Irrigation Co., which, he said, obtained 67,000 acres of school lands offered for sale by the state land commissioner. Klock said that the advertisement for this sale was made in an obscure way, but, “singularly enough, Hanford and his crowd were on hand and knew all about it.” Klock said that the land thus acquired was se valuable that a man only recently refused $12,000 for a $1,700 invest ment, eat, GOLDSMITH DENIES AND EXPLAINS J. 8, Goldsmith, who had given preliminary testimony yesterday, was recalled in behalf of the defense. He denied that Klock repeated his words as he had used them. His explanation was that he merely said Judge Hanford compared favorably with other federal judges; that some people (not he) claimed that Judge Hanford had outlived bis vsefulness, and that he was confident if the association appointed a committee to take up the receivership grievances with Judge Hanford, the latter would gladly co-operate with them Goldsmith denied that he referred to Judge Hanford’s drinking, although Klock’s testimony in this connection is corroborated by E. Q, Anderson, president of the association, who testified yesterday. GOT OFF WITH $25 FINE Representative McCoy drew from Goldsmith the admission thag the Schwabacher Co., of which he is an officer, had twice been found guilty of violating the pure food act in shipping impure food stuff into Alaska and the Pacific states, For each of these offenses Judge Han ford merely imposed a nominal fine of $25 Charles+H, Wills, urer of the Seattle Hardware Co., George @,. Black, president of the Black Manufacturing Co., and Perry Polson, pre ident of the Polson Implement Co., were also called to testify as to thelr recollection of the Goldsmith statements. They testified that they came late to the meeting and did not hear all of the discussion CORRESPONDENCE WITH RAILROAD Plummer, western land agent for the Northern Pacifie Railroad Co,, was called and asked if he had brought the correspondence in his possession between the Hanford Irrigation Co. and the N. P, He handed over to Chairman Graham a big envelope full of documents, It was decided that Plummer go over this correspondence with the com- mittee during noon hour, after which he is to take the stand again. George H, Stone, of the Stone-Fisher Co,, was then called. Stone, according to the testimony 65,000 bid for the McCarthy bankrupt stock, which was turned down by Judge Hanford, and which later, under the receivership of Baxter, brought only $11,000 approx- imately to the credi George H Suppose a Firm Fails Suppose it is an unavoidable failure and that there has been bad management, but nothing done to affect the integrity of the firm.
