WOULD IMPEACH CHANCELLOR
DESIRE OF THE GERMAN MOD.
ERATE RADICALS.
Proposed Establishment of a Branch
of the Imperial Supreme
Court.

BERLIN, November 2S.-The moderate
radical party at a caucus today decided
to introduce resolution in the reichstag
for the creation of high Impeachment
court, before which the chancellor could
be brought to answer for dereiiction In
his constitutional duties as between the
emperor and the people. or in case
when, although not unconstitutional, the
imperial acts through the chancellor may
have endangered the realm. The imperial
constitution, unlike several of the Ger
man federal state constitutions, does not
provide for any method of Impeachment.
Bismarck, when threatened by his op-
ponents in the reichstag with having his
salary stopped, exclaimed:
'Tll sue for i. and collect"
The radicals desire that the court shall
become branch of the imperial supreme
court, with members representing the
several states.
There is no probability, however, of the
resolution beng accepted. Other party
influences are at work among the mem
bers of the reichstag to prevent as far as
possible, a renewal on December . of
the criticism of the emperor's personal
acts It is likely that all parties will
Join in this endeaVor, except the social
.sts and some of the radicals.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, November 2S.-Mr.

sentative Herbert Parsons and James r.
Sheffield, all of New York.
The conference on New York political
affairs which Mr. Woodruff came here to

Scott urging him to deliver an address
next February at a meeting to be held
in New York to raise funds for Tushegee
Institute. The invitation will be consid-
cred.
Oklahoma came forward today with a
huge turkey sent to Mr.. Taft for his
Thanksgiving daner. but delayed in
transit. 1t will be served later.
Mrs William II. Taft, who spent
Thanksgiving day in New York, is eX-
pected to arrive here tomorrow.

ACQUITTALS AT SPRINGFIELD.
Utter Collapse of Prosecutions in
Riot Cases Is Forecasted.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, November 2S-
The acquittal today of two more defend
ants is generally regarded as forecast
ing collapse of the prosecutions in the
cases growing out of the recent race
riots here. A verdict of not guilty was
brought in by the jury in the case OF
William and Mabel Stout, who had been
on trial on an indictment charging bur-
gary and larceny.
This was the first of the burglary and
larceny cases growing out of the riots to
be tried. The defendants admitted taa-
ing large quantities of groceries, which
were alleged to have been stolen from a
wrecked store. but said they found the
goods on the sidewalk
Thus the state has failed to secure con-
victions in murder cases growing ou, of
the lynching. destruction of property or
burglary and larceny cases. over a hun
dred other indictments are pending, but
these cases will likely be dismissed.
