Washington. May 6-Formal charges of impeachment against Federal Judges Philips and McPherson will be filed by Representative Murphy. of Missouri. Incensed over a telegram to Attorney General Wickersham by Frank Hager- man, attorney for eighteen railroads, in which Hagerman characterized Mur- phys resolution of inquiry into the conduct of the two judges as an out rageous tissue misrepresentation, MT Murphy held the attention of the house with repetition of the charges made in the original resolution.
 His colleague, MT. Fucker. corrobo- rated all he said in denunciation of the two judges in connection with Mis- souri's two cent passenger rate law. and the maximum freight law. In cidentally MT. Fucker remarked that Judge Phillips ought to have been i'm peached twenty years ago.

THE ARGUMENT STAGE
 IN CALHOUN TRIAL
BELIEVED BY EXPERTS TO BE
 NEAR.
Possibly Reached By the End of the
 Week.

San Francisco, May 6.-GOod pro- gress was made today with the trial of Patrick Calhoun. Nine witnesses were examined. It is the expectation of those familiar with the evidence that the arguments will reached before the end of the week.
 The evidence today related to the money alleged to have been paid to Ruef by Tirey Ford, general counsel for the railroad company, acting as agent for Calhoun. Req, one of the four eX-supervisors not accused of selling his vote told of having received S3500 from Ruefs sister. Mrs. Sitten field. in connection with a business deal entirely outside the graft cases. This payment was made on June 2, 1906. Heney expects to prove that the bills given Req were a part of the s5O,0O0 drawn from the mint by Ford
 Toward the close of the day. three employees of Ford's office were called to the stand and related what they knew of the visit to Ford's office by Ruef in 1907. It is the claim of the prosecution that it was this occasion that the money was paid to him. None could fix the date of the visit within several months nor say whether Ruef saw Ford.

FUR DOWNWARD REVISION
The Ensuing Colloquy DeveI- oped That There Were Not Enough of Democrats Who Are Really in Favor of a Reduction of the Tariff.

Washington, May 6.-Little prog ress was made in consideration of the tariff bill in the senate, with the lead schedule under discussion. Mir. Rris- tow made strong fight against in ereases over the duty provided in the house on the ground that such in creases would unnecessarily increase the cost of paint to farmers who use it extensively
 During the discussion Messrs Bev- erldge and Gallinger engaged in sharp cOlloquy, during which Mir. Gal finger accused the Indiana senator of advertising his own interests" MT. Cummins addressed the senate in favor or lower duties, especially on the iron and steel schedules. He declared the people would take matters into their own hands if the law did not check the mOnOpOlies.
 An amusing situation occurred at the close of Mir Cummins' speech. when he was asked by Senator New lands whether the faction striving for revision of tariff downward. had for mulated a plan the democrats could support to accomplish that purpose. 1Ht QueSllOn gave SdllS1dctlOn to NIT. Aldrich, but apparently MT. Culberson. the minority leader, was not pleased. It was pointed out by MT Newlands that if twenty progressive republicans united with thirty-One democrats they would have a majority of the senate.
 MT. Cummins remarked that the senator from Nevada had found more progressive republicans than he. Re spending to MT. Newlands' question, however, MT. Cummins asked: "Is the senator from Nevada authorized to speak for thirty-one democrats when he propounds inquiry?',
 No" said MT. Newiands. because the democrats are powerless. The only way they could benefit the country would be by, following the lead Of progressive republicans"
 Are you making an official state ment for the democrats" asked Mir. Aldrich.
 MT. Newlands replied that he spoke only for himself, whereupon Mir. Cum

ORGANIZATION OF UNION
Supposed to Hava For Its Ob. ject the Overturning of the Government Which De- clares That it Is Ready for the Test.

Paris. May 6.-The Postal Telegraph and Telephone Employees association threw down the gauge of battle to the government today by transforming itself into a union. This places the association on the same footing as the workmen's unions with the right to strike. The defiance, which is nothing short of an open revolt, was a sudden and sensational sequel to Premier Clemenceau's failure today to receive a deputation of Postal em- ployes who called to demand the re- demption of the promises they claim the government made when the re- cent strike ended.
 r The premier was i'll, but the dele gation pretended to believe his in disposition was simulated. Failure to be received served as a pretext for springing their surprise and an hour later their transformation into a union was announced. The statutes of the organization were officially filed.
 It was what the French call a coup de theatre" but if it proves successful it will be more like a coup de 'etat, as its purpose is to make the em- ploye the masters and not the ser wants of the state. The rules of the organization follow strictly those of the workmen's organization.
 The most serious aspect of the sit uation is the fact that the leaders are undoubtedly hand in glove with the moving spirits of the general fed eration of labor. which is now uni versally recognized as a revolutionary organization, and which has for long time been preparing for a general strike to destroy capitalists
 The suppression of this organization has frequently been contemplated by the French government. A considera- ble number of postal employees have had their eyes opened to the revo lutionary venture and have broken away. There are enough loyal ser general strike which is tonight con- sidered a matter of hours. The gov ernment, which claims it is prepared for any eventuality, it is conceded must now act vigorously or abdicate. The entire country is tremendously excited by the agitation. No level headed observer, however, believes the republic is in danger.
 Simyan, under secretary of posts, has made this statement: T declare in my own name and the name of the government that were the syn dicate formed today a thousand times as powerful as it will ever be, we

QUEER KIDNAPPING CASE AT
 HELENA.
A Family Took By Force Child
 For Which They Had Cared

Helena, May 6.-In a sensational manner, six-year old Chas. Peabody was taken from his mother at the union station today by members of the family of James Lee. The ab- duction was accomplished by sheer strength, apparently according to careful plans. The child was hustled aboard a west bound train.
 The boy is the son of Charles Peabody, a merchant of Marysville, a mining camp. Lee is a section fore man. At the time of the birth of the child, Mrs. Peabody, who was en- feebled, employed Mrs. Lee to care for the baby. After her recovery, Mrs. Peabody paid Mrs. Lee and took the child.
 Meantime, however, the Lees were greatly attached to the boy. Last week Lee was ordered away and pre- pared to move. He asked Mrs. Pea body to bring the child to bid it farewell. All met at the station. The farewells were said and as Mrs. Pea body and the boy were starting for the street, members of the Lee family bounced upon her, wrested the child from her possession and boarded the train just as it pulled out.
 The mother was so astOunded at the action of the Lees that she could make no outcry, and spectators were too bewildered to realize the importance of the affair until after the train had departed.
 A special from Missoula says that Lee was arrested on the arrival Of the train there. He and the child are now in the custody of official. Sheriff Higgins departed this after

Its Compliments Presented
 to the Saloon Keepers sE - NEW COUNCIL ORGANIZED
City Buys Property to Open up Third Street From Van Buren to Polk St. Hearing On Slaughter House Ques- ton May IF.

The incident of the council meeting last night that will attract the atten- tiOn of the most people was the pass age of an ordinance restricting in every feasible way except by actual prohibit ton, the sale of liGuOr by saloons, making them as unattractive as pos sible to a civilized man, as uncOmfort- able as possible to proprietor and pat ron, and as public as they can be while a structure still surrounds them to protect them from the clements. This ordinance, while is tcmfwypoERA Avb ordinance, which is the same one pre- sented to the council several months ago, and at the time rejected, was pre- scented last night by Councilman Camp bell, before the retiring council ex- pired. It was opposed by Councilman Cisney primarily on the ground that he saw no reason for haste, it had never been considered by a committee, the practice was unusual and unnecessary, and with his present understanding of it he would have to vote against it Councilman Marshall opposed it by two speeches for the above reasons, and the further reason that while he is op- posed to the sale of liquor. once in his previous history he spent time and money in an investigation of a very similar law in force where he then re- sided, and he believed from experience that its effect was vicious. bad and did not effect the results its makers sought to obtain. He believed also that it was only courteous to the new coun- cii to permit it to act upon this meas in vic nf ha hat ff had not been given consideration. The other members of the council, however, in sisted upon a vote, and it was taken. Messrs. Campbell, Yaeger and the mayor voting aye, Cisney voting no and Marshall passing.
 The old council also passed a reso- lution of agreement to purchase of the present owners sufficient property to open Third street from Van Buren to Polk, for S2,600, the money to be paid in ninety days, by which time the owners are to have their personal property removed. The franchise voted for by the people last Tuesday, grant ing to J. F. Powell the use of the al- leys for a compressed air and vacuum ventilating and cleaning plant, came up in the form of an ordinance, and was passed in conformity with the vote of the people The franchise runs twenty-five years, requires that con- struction be begun within ninety days and that one per cent of the gross re- ceipts of the company shall go to the municipal treasury.
 In respect of the Hurley Tribolet slaughter house the removal of which has been brought before the council, the city attorney advised that the council set May r as a time for hear ing those interested on both sides Of the question, and that they be notified to be present. The attorney was in- structed to so notify them.
