PROGRESSIVES PROPOSE BILL TO ELECT FEDERAL JUDGES

WATSON AVOIDS ANY DISCUSSION OF MW PLIGHT indiana Delegation at Washington Believes Governor Should Resign, By JOHN CARSON Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. The political future of Governor McCray of Indiana is a subject not for comment by the Republican members of the Indiana delegation in Congress. Public discussion of McCrays plight and his position within the Republican party is not sought. Rather it is avoided. Senator Watson, regarded as the delegation leader, said he had received no word from State Chairman Walb relative to McCray’s troubles and that if Walb wanted a meeting of the Indiana delegation here, he had not so indicated. Watson added he “had nothing to say” on McCray’s future stand as Governor. Representative Sanders of Indiana, ene of the few very positive members of the delegation in the Hov.se, said also he had heard nothing from Walb and that he also had “nothing to say." j Beneath this self-imposed ban of •Bence, however, there are very positive convictions within the delegation. The conviction invariably Is that Gov-1 ernor McCray should have resigned, voluntarily, some time ago and that he certainly shoujd now. If the Governor is forced out the conviction also Is that the Republican party In Indiana should be the first to repudiate his leadership.

Sentiment in Craig Contempt Case Crystallizes Following President’s Remittance of Sentence for New York Comptroller, By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—The wave of sentiment aroused in Congress by the Craig contempt case crystallized today in a decision of the progressive group to introduce a bill in the Senate providing for the election of Federal judges. This bill will be the foundation upon which the progressive program for liberalization of the Federal courts will be based.

Federal judges now are appointed by the President with the confirmation of the Senate. The progressives feel in proposing the popular election of these Judges the court would be made sensitive to public opinion and the expressed will of the people. Would Change Contempt Ltws In addition, the progressive grouj* will push the bill of Representative Stengel, New York, providing specifically for the liberalization of tha present contempt laws. The position of Attorney General Daugherty In denouncing Craig for criticising a Federal Court decision drew criticism from members of both Houses today. "Any person, with all due respect to the court, should have the full right to criticize any decision of the court in an honorable way,” Senator Magnus Johnson, new progressive from Minnesota declared. “Judges are human. "I realize the judges of the Supreme Court even are approached by the party in power, and if that party is in power for a long time, there may be a tendency to lean to one side. Believes In Free Speech "I believe In free speech and I thick any man should be unhampered within the specifications of the Constitution of the United States.” The Stengle bill, which is to be introduced as soon as the House organizes. would prevent any judge from passing sentence in a contempt case where the action did not occur In his presence. This would enable, backers of .the bill believe, any one to express an opinion regarding a decision and would prevent judges from jailing persons who took issue with the correctness of their decisions. All progressives in both houses of Congress pronounce themselves strong ly in favor of modification of the present law. DAUGHERTY ~FLAYS CRAIG Attorney General’s Caustic Statement Amazes Offcial Washington. By United Press WASHINGTON. Dec. 4—Attorney General Daugherty today was the new atorm center of the Craig contempt case. Official Washington was amazed a! the sarcastic opinion rendered by Daugherty in recommending Presiden Coolidge remit Craigs sentence with out pardoning him. Mr. Coolidge late Monday accepted Daugherty's recommendation. He re mltted the slxty-day sentence for con

tempt of court imposed on Craig, controller of New York City, by Federal Judge Mayer. Few documents in the history of the Government have over pilloried an individual or his actions as did Daugherty's brief in the Craig case, officials declared. Gives Two Reasons The attorney general In effect told President Coolidge Craig’s sentence should be remitted because: 1. New York City finances might suffer if Craig were compelled to give up their active supervision for sixty days to serve his sentence. 2. Craig "conceivably would be more disappointed and punished by not being required to go to jail than he would be by serving his sentence,” since he “would seem to prefer to pose as a martyr.” “Craig,” the attorney general said, "deliberately and stubbornly contrived technicalities which Craig knew would preclude a proper consideration of his case on its merits alone, and his motive apparently was to interfere with the course of Justice. “He had contempt on one lip and falsehool on the other, and had earned the condemnation of all who were cognizant of the facts in the case.” Daugherty disclosed that Judge Mayer, who sentenced Craig, opposed any executive clemency which would tend to condone Craig's conduct.

UEBER OUTLINES STATE’S TASK AS NATURE’S KEEPER Director Says Conservation Division Is Good Housekeeper for State, By Times Special conservation department is the good housekeeping department of the Indiana government, Richard Lieber, director, told Ro aria ns here today. He gave figures showing that while his department received nearly half a million dolalrs from tax moneys in its four years’ operation, the same amount had been so invested in properties that today the State receives a handsome yearly income. Between April 1, 1919, and Sept. 30, 1923, the department, Lieber said, received irom taxes about $450,000. It has invested in State parks, State forests, State fish hatcheries, with a cash balance on hand of $60,000, the sum of $450,000. To acquire this magnificent property that yearly grows more valuable, Indiana people were taxed per capita in four years the sum of 15 cents. Annually the per capita coet Is three and a third cents. In this same four years the department has, Mr. Lieber said, earned in excess of $600,000, chiefly by the fish end game division through sale of licenses and fees for successful prosecution of fish and game law violators. With total expenditures in four years ; slightly over a million dollars of | which more than half was earned, the conservation department has, the 1 speaker declared, aside from making permanent property investments, accomplished many things, a long list of which he enumerated.
