WASHINGTON, d. c., May 6.-The

MISSOURI JUDGES TO
FACE IMPEACHMENT
Congressman Murphy Will Make Formal
Charges Against Mcpherson and
Philips in House

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May c.
At the conclusion of a lengthy statement
in the House today regarding his reso-
luton of inquiry into the official conduct
of Federal Judges Mcpherson and
Philips of the western district of Mis-
souri,, Representative Murphy of that
state announced that he would present
formal charges of impeachment.
Mr.. Murphy had not proceeded far
when Mr.. Henry of Texas, another mem
Der of the judiciary committee, stopped
him with an inquiry as to whether he
did not intend to formally bring i'll
charges of impeachment.
The Missouri member. however. did
not give direct answer, but continued
his recital of the charges contained in
his resolution. He called on Mr.. Rucker,
his colleague, to substantiate what he
was saying. Mr.. Rucker did 50. and de-
clared that Judge Phillips should have
been impeached twenty years ago.
Mr.. Murphy denied that the state Of
Missouri had been accorded every cour-
tesy in the rate cases as was stated in
Mr.. Hagermsn's telegram. The state,
he declared. had no knowledge or notice
whatever of the first injunction in those
cases.

FALLS WITH AIRSHIP
ITALIAN AVIATOR SERIOUSLY IN
JURED IN WRIGHT MACHINE.
Paints While Making Flight in Heavy
Wind and Aeroplane Crashes
to Ground.

ROME. May 6.-Lieut. Calderara of
the Italian navy was injured here today
while flying in Wright aeroplane. AS
he was making a sharp turn the machine
fell to the ground and the aviator was
picked up unconscious. 1t is estimated
that he fell a distance of about forty-fye
feet. His right cheek and his right eve
were injured, and he sustained dislo-
Gated shoulder. The lieutenant. who is
pupil of Wilbur Wright. was revived and
moved to q military hospital. where he is
being cared for.
Faints and Falls from Seat.
Speaking OF the accident later he said
he had flown this morning because three
of his uncles had come purposeIy from
Verona to witness his performance. He
said that he felt i'll and tainted and
must have slipped from his seat He
thus fell to the ground first, and the
machine came down after him. To wit
neSseS 1t appeared that the lieutenant
was trying to turn the aeroplane at Il
right angle.
The machine was very badly damaged.
Only the eXtremities of the two propel-
lerS and the two rudders are intact. At
tached to piece of the wreckage there
was found an image of st. Christopher,
the protector of automobilists and under
it an inscription asking the saint to pro-
tect This aeroplane.
The lieutenant had promised to take
a companion aloft with him today, but
when he reached the field he found the
wind so strong that he decided it would
be more prudent to make his first flight
alone. He got away very well. The ma
chine rose to a height of ninety feet and
evOluted successfully in spite of the fact
that the maneuvers were made more diff
tcult by the wind.
Spectators Shrek in Horror.
While making the third round of the
field, the aeroplane seemed for a mo-
ment to come to Il stop. Then it lunged
forward and downward and struck the
ground. \ scream of horror burst forth
from those present, and a number of the
aviator's brother officers rushed forth
and picked him up. According to the
last diagnosis made, the lieutenant in adj
dition to his injured shoulder, cheek and
eye, had suffered in the head. He has
sustained also internal injuries. Unless
complications set in it is hoped that he
will recover.

in the East

CHICAGO, Ill. May 6.-The Pullman
company is not contemplating any re
duction in the berth rate on June l

eral reduction in seat rates all through

10 be especially favorable to the state OF

minimum. and when an additional charge
was made the minimum was % cents
The new rate is % cents minimum and
; cents for every additional ten miles
after the % cents is exhausted. The
rate for seats is now about half-a-cent
a mile. This gives the person desiring
seat accommodation in a Pullman the
privilege Of buying it as cheaply as the
