House Adopts All Twelve of Articles
of impeachment.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The house of
representatives adopted the twelve
articles of impeachment against Judge
Charles Swayne, of the district court
of the northern district of Florida,
which had been presented by its spe-
ciaI committee of investigation The
speaker was authorized to appoint
seven members to present the case to
ment proceedings before that body
This action was the elimination of
a debate which has been in progress
for over a week, and which has de-
veloped partisan feeling and personal
vituperation. The first vote, that to
table the first three articles, those re
lating to the classification and expenses,
went against Judge Swayne by the
was regarded as the test vote, as the
charge regarding expenses was the
only one concurred in by the mem
bers of the committee signing the
minority report. The motion to table
these articles was lost, 100 to 165.
Twenty-four Republicans voted with
the Democrats against tablings and
three Democrats voted with the Re
publicans to table. On roll call these
three articles were adopted.
Articles 4 and 5, relating to the free
use of a private car by Judge Swayne,
were made the subject of a separate
lowed with regard TO articles and z,
charging him with nonresidence in his
district. This was the last roll call,
as articles 8, 9, 10 and II, relating to
the Davis-Balden contempt case, and
article II, relating to the O'Neal con-
tempt case, were declared adopted on
viva voce votes.
The last time the house voted to
present articles of impeachment was
in 1876, when it voted the impeach-
ment of ". w. Belknap, secretary of
war under President Grant.
The debate was chiefly notable for
the closing arguments in the case.
That for Judge Swayne was made by

A meeting was held at Wichita last

citation, was present and showed the men
who were interested just what would be
required OF them in case they decided to
purchase the P1ttsburg franchise, and
they expressed the opinion that there
would be no trouble in meeting the re-
quirements- They were enthusiastic over
the prospect OF getting into the Western
association. and President Shiveley left
Tor Kansas City much pleased with the
prospects Of en- early completion of the
work, or arranging a full circuit 1t is
expected that the formal transfer of the
franchise will have been arranged by the

kretsinger began by carrying pa

knowledge of the town and the peo-

In college he took part in the liter
airy society meetings and in the Greek
primary education in politics. He has
lived in the same ward in Emporia
with William Allen White and he has
always been on the other side of
questions politically from White.
Kretsinger was born in Emporia and
50 was White. That isn't the reason,
however, that they have not been in
political harmony. The reason is
that they differed in their views. This
is not to intimate that the town of
Emporia is divided between White
and Kretsinger, exactly, but that
White and Kretsinger are divided.

Senator Dumont Smith comes from

as regards eastern papers. They are
vagary coming from Kansas and IN
their effort to reprove the state remind
US of the man who took a shotgun to
kill flies. AS a matter of fact this
matter was never intended for home
consumption and was the product OF
the brain of a couple of newspaper
men in Topeka who have been rather
short of sensational copy since Carrie
Nation fell from grace as a drawing
card and became merely a side-show
attraction. They started the idea and
saddled it onto Smith, knowing that

this line is offensive to people of re-
