William, Walled -orf Must Still Be
Mister Astor--He Won't Be Lord
(By United Press Leased wire.) !

(By United Press Leased Wire.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-William
Waldorf Aston, multi-millionaire
American by birth, Briton by nat
uralization and descendant of the
original John Jacob, who laid the
foundation of the Astor fortune
by skinning skunks, has just con-
cluded the fight of his life for an
English peerage. p
He lost.
Astor's part in the struggle for
the abolition of the veto power of
the lords has just leaked out.
At the last moment a consider
able body of conservatives re-
VOTED. They proposed, they said,
to die fighting-to reject the bill
and let the new peers be created,
If the liberals were really pre-
pared to go so far.
Aston Started 1t.
William Waldorf Aston was re-
sponsible for this revolt. He
bought London newspaper, and
had he succeeded, the first con-
sentative administration to come
into office would have him made
Lord Aston.
The newspaper which Astor
bought is 1.-The Observer" a pow
erful conservative weekly. The
observer attacks on Balfour
and Lord Lansdowne were more
bitter than its attacks on the
liberals. 1t referred to them as
"hedgers' and traitors"
ut adjured the reactionaries to
defy the ministry, the liberals,
Balfour and Lansdowne-the king
himself-and 1t dared his majesty
to create enough new peers to give
the liberals majority in the house
of lords.
But the rebels we're unable to
gather a sufficient number of
peers to their banner, the bill
went through and Astor lost.
William Waldorf Astor was
naturalized in England in 1899,
and has for years tried desperate
ly to break into upper English cir
cles. He has spent millions on
millions to do 1t. Thus far, how
ever, he has failed to win even a
knighthood, and is significantly
spoken of in aristocratic circles as
"Walled-Off" Aston.

What's more, Robert Woodrow
Archibald knew that most of them
had committed their offense a
year before.
"But would you let a bank
clerk off If he should steal money
from his bank a year before he
was arrested?" | asked Archibald.
:. Here's the Difference.
Judge Archibald thinks that a
clerk breaks moral law when
he steals. Archibald also thinks
that trust directors do not break
moral law in violating the Sher-
man antitrust law.
Archibald believes that, If juries
do not reach what the Judge
thinks is a just judgment, then
the Judge ought to step in and
overrule the jury.
Judge Archibald doesn't belong
to any clubs; he fishes little; he
does not hunt. He takes long
walk every Saturday. He has no
money but his salary. He spends
most of his time in the library.
Economic problems do not bother
him.
Maybe this story will make
some people feel that bad Judge
is bad, not necessarily because he
is corrupt, but because he is so
far away from the public that he
doesn't understand its problems
and that the recall OF bookworm
Judges, when the recall does
come. will be just as desirable as
the recall of corrupt judges.

BY w. G. SHEPHERD.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Robert
Woodrow Archibald is a bookworm
judge, whom President Taft APP
pointed to the new commerce
court. He studied law at Yale;
his father left him some money.
He went into the coal business
and lost 1t all. In 1885 he was
appointed to the common pleas
bench in Scranton. He had
gained tremendous amount of
respect for business. because bust
ness had got the best of him.
After that he stuck to his books
and to the law library.
His respect for business is one
thing he has never lost.
Chief Justice White ordered
Archibald to take charge of GER
tain term of court in New York
city During this term "a men,
officers of the steel wire trust,
were arrested on evidence which
1t had cost the government over
a quarter of a million dollars to
obtain.
Such men as Herbert L. Satter-
lee, son-in-law of j. Pierpont Nor
gan, and others had been caught
red-handed in the act of violating
the Sherman antitrust law.
The cases came before Robert
Woodrow Archibald.
All Pleaded Guilty.
Every last one of the men
pleaded guilty; that is, they en-
tered no plfas of mol contendere,
which means, II am guilty, but l
didn't know what was-doing."
Robert Woodrow Archibald fined
them on an average OF 81, 900 each
aud Edwin E. Johnson, the organ
izer of the trust, he fined $40, 900.
Why didn't Robert Woodrow
Archibald send any of them to
Jail? l am under pledge to Judge
Archibald not to quote him. But
I shall set out his ideas, as
gathered them from his remarks.
Robert Woodrow Archibald can
not conceive that any business
men in America would form a
pool to break the law.
Even If they had made millions
of dollars that they couldn't have
made if they hadn't been a trust,
nevertheless. since they did not
intend to break the law, it would
be too hard on them to send them
to Jail.
