TOOTHACHE CAUSES
BERGER TO RESIGN
Not as Congressman, But as
Baseball "Ump' To-day.

Victor L Berger, who was elected a
member of Congress on the Socialist
ticket by a majority Of $50, and who
recently was elected umpire Of the
House ball game to-day on the Demo-
cratic ticket unanimously, has sent his
regrets on the latter honor. The rea-
sons why Representative Berger will not
officiate at to-day's game at Georgetown
field, as stated by Mr.. Berger, follow:
"I fully appreciate the national i'm
portance of this particular game of base
ball. And 1 feel that I should be so
much more impartial in giving my de-
cisfons as an umpire because I am alb
solutely innocent of the game. However,
there is a rule: my sympathies are al
ways with the under dog'-and the Re-
publican side of the House Is so plainly
the under dog in this session that
could not give the Democrats a square
deal. Moreover, I have a toothache
'Nuff said. Ny Democratic friends will
have to get another umpire. I sug-
gest President Taft. He called the ex-
ira session and gave 'em all a chance
to play ball."

IMPEACHMENT is PROPOSED
AGAINST JUDGE ARCHIBALD
Author of Legal Works Asked to Become Counsel in
Proceedings in New York.

wanted me to be his counsel in the pro-
posed impeachment proceedings" said
Mr.. Walker. II declined for several rea-
sons. Not the least of these is the doubt
in my mind at present that there is vet
sufficient grounds for impeachment. The
law provides that Federal judges can be
impeached only for high crimes and
high misdemeanors.'
Cannot Give Name,
'T am not at liberty yet to give the
name of the gentleman who applied to
me, because 1t was a strictly professional
matter he consulted me about. When
his name becomes known, however, 1t
will carry great weight. He has a very
wide acquaintance among the members
of both Houses Of Congress. and I un-
derstand that he has gone to Washing
ton to start the impeachment movement.
In the present temper of the public
mind toward violators Of the Sherman
law do not doubt that he will obtain
an abundance of assistance in the move
ment, and announcement at Washing
ton.
'T seriously question, however, the
outcome of the movement. Even should
the Democratic House draw up and
adopt articles Of Impeachment the Re-
publican Senate in all likelihood would
not sustain them. You remember that
was the result Of the last effort to re-
move a Federal judge by impeachment. I
refer to the case Of Judge Swayne, Of
Florida.
However" Mr.. Walker went on,
there Is another effective. though slow
er. method Of checking the too great
leniency OF Federal judges In dealing
with violators and violations OF the
Sherman law. That 10 an enlightened

AGED PRINTER DIES
In CROWDED CAR
James NJ Watson Stricken
Beside Passengers.

Topping from his seat in a crowded

NJ. Watson, fifty-two years old, a printer
employed at the Government Printing

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Aug. 6.-Albert H. Walker,
one OF the oldest and best known mem-
bers of the New York bar, author Of the
History Of the Sherman Law and other
standard works on legal subjects, stated
tonight that he had been requested to be-
come counsel In proposed impeachment
proceedings against Judge r. w. Arch
bald, of the United States Circuit Court
Mr.. Walker said that he declined to
serve as counsel, as he did not believe
that impeachment proceedings would lie
He added that the man who sought to
retain him had gone to Washington,
where he would try to obtain support for
his plan among members Of Congress and
officials in that city.
The immediate cause of the movement
looking toward the attempt to impeach
Judge Archibald Is the charge Of leniency
Of that member of the judiciary toward
the men indicted for organizing the wire
pool and participating in its benefits.
Let on with Fines.
Among those let of with a fine. In
spite of the protest Of United States Dis
trict Attorney Wise, was Z. Z. jackson.

was also let or with a fine.
Mr.. Walker was the chief actor in o
remarkable scene when on last Monday
he arose before Judge Archibald and
addressed the court demanding more se-
rious punishment for the defendants IN
the wire trust cases than Judge Archibald
meted out.

all elements in Cnogress, and whereas
a few weeks ago it was practically de-
cided that the question of Statehood
could wait until the next session Just as
well as not, the Territories Jointly have
waged such a campaign for immediate
Statehood that it probably will be given
them at this session.
AS a consequence of the unsettled con-
dition of the Statehood question. hun
dreds of kilograms and letters, not only
from the Territories. but from every one
they could influence in the States, have
poured into Washington begging for ac-
ton this session.
1t was pointed out that all business
was at a standstill, outside capital wa
not icing invested, enterprises all over
both Territories were being held in abey-
ance pending Statehood, and everything
was in a generally demoralized condi-
ton. This had its effect, and when an
agreement for a vote on reciprocity and
other measures was proposed, friends OF
the Territories refused to become parties
to it until Statehood was included.

cotton bill. but the Democratic leaders
would not make the promise.


would not make the promise.
Many Amendments Impending.
In addition to this. it was said last
night that Senator Cummins will offer
an amendment to the cotton bill revising
is preparing to offer his revision of the
sugar schedule. and Democratic Sena-
tor intimated yesterday that he would
probably offer an amendment revising
the chemical schedule, tnasmuch as this
Is intimately related to the cotton
schedule.
The consideration of the cotton bill
in the Senate and the prospect the
Democrats In the House will try to
pass the wool bill and the farmers
free list bill over the Presidents veto,
in the almost certain contingency that
he does veto them, are the factors that
are likely to work the delay in adjourn
ment. The House, 1t is conceded, will
be able to pass the bills over the Presi-
dents veto. The Senate will then be
put to the test, and an effort will be
made In that body to follow the House
action and override the Presidential
veto.
1t is expected on Capitol Hill that
President Taft, In his veto message, will
point out the Inconsistencies OF the in
surgents with such vigor that 1t may
call for extended replies from them. and
the move in the Senate to pass the bills
over the Presidents veto will therefore
lead to more or less debate and neces-
sary delay.
Republicans Compelled to Remain.
The situation is a very complicated
and interesting one. Added to the other
complications will be the difficulty Of
maintaining a quorum, especially in the
Senate. It is certain that most Of the
regular Republicans would go away and
remain away after the vote on State
hood IL they did not stand In fear of
combination between Democrats and
insurgents that might be successful in
passing one or more Of the tariff bills
over the Presidents veto, in the absence
of a large number Of regular Repub-
licans and a failure to arrange pairs.
The Washington herald., 1911-08-07

1t is absolutely impossible to pre-
dict when the tangle in Congress
will be Strengthened out. There will
be no report upon the wool bill be-
fore next Wednesday or Thursday,
The situation in regard to the cot
ton bill is most involved, and the
Democrats are uncertain whether
to defy William J. Bryan and let
the iron and steel schedule pass Tin
touched. Predictions as to the time
when Congress will adjourn range
from the end of this week, which
is Senator John Sharp Williams
idea, to August Is, which is Chair
man Underwood's guess, and Sep
tember l, which is the date fixed by
Speaker Clark.
DELAY OVER WOOL BILL.
In the air. Senator La Toilette is con-
ferring with the insurgent Republicans
to determine how far they are willing
to recede from the IS per cent duty Of
the La Toilette bill. while Mr. Under
wood is sounding the sentiment Of the
House as to how high the Democrats
will be willing to go above the % per
cent, which is the rate In the Under
wood bill. 1t is expected that this infor-
nation will be gathered by Wednesday
or Thursday, and then they will get to-
gether for another conference. 1t is
known that Mr.. La Toilette is willing to
accept duty Of 30 per cent.
There is also some little pride OF au-
thorship in the situation. Mr.. La Fol-
lette is said to be anxious to pass a
measure that shall bear his name, while
the Democrats, especially those in the
House. think that it ought to show DEM
ocratic antecedents. Having furnished
nearly all the votes necessary to pass
the bill through both Houses, the Demo-
Gratis want whatever responsibility and
credit that may attach to it, and to ben
eft from the political capital they ex-
pect from its enactment
Cotton Bill Complications.
AS for the cotton bill, it is like Pan
dora's box. No one knows what trouble
II may cause. The Southern manufac-
turers, who have been asked to appear
during the next two or three days, are
disinclined to accept the invitation, al
though some Of them may be here in
order to make a brief protest They
claim that they have been taken un-
awares. and that as they do not know
what the bill provides, 1t IS difficult to
present complete argument.
The bill will, however, be reported next
Thursday under instructions, but up to
the present time there is no indication
when a vote can be had. 1t is certain
that a reimbursement agreement for
a vote will not be easily obtained II
was stated last night that Senator La
Toilette tried to secure a promise from
the Democratic leaders in the Senate
before the farmers free list bill was
passed that in consideration of insurgent
support for that measure the Democrats
would agree to concede vote on The

The following summary of the condi-
lion in the Department OF Agriculture was
sent out by a news bureau yesterday:
washington, Aug. 6.-That DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chem
istry in the Agricultural Department. will
not be asked by President Taft to re-
sign is the statement made on high au-
thority. Moreover, the President will not
sustain the recommendation Of Secretary
Wilson and the personnel board of the
Agricultural Department in any instance
and will not reprimand DR.. Wiley for his
employment of DR.. II. Rusby, out Of
which the charges against DR.. Wiley
grew.
Instead. II is asserted. he will clean
out the politics and reprimand some Of
those who have sought to injure the ad-
ministration through their attacks on
the chief chemist.
Plans for "Clean-uD."
IAN the evidence being submitted in
the investigation by the House Commit
tee on Expenditures In the Departmen OF
is being received at the White
House. and the President is digesting it.
BY this, and some evidence he himself is
from the department, the Pres
ident expects to make his cleanup

put It:
when the President gets through
with his investigation there will be lit
tie left Of the interdepartment politics.
and DR.. Wiley will have a freer hand IN
the administration Of the pure food
laws
1T was pointed out by friends OF the
President that his action in ruling ad-
to the Secretary and the person
rel board does not mean that there is
to be a breach between him and his
Secretary of Agriculture. But 1t means
that all hands IN the Department of
a in the future will confine
to the work designated TO
them by law.

TAFT TO SUPPORT WILEY
IS THE GENERAL BELIEF
Enemies of Chief Chemist in Department Likely to
Be Reprimanded by the President.

Great as has been the outcry against
the decision of the Remsen board re-
specting benzoate Of soda, it is said that
decision did not Justify the Department
Of Agriculture in directing that its use
in any quantity should not be inter-
fered with.
1T is said to have been the determine
tion of the department officers. Wilson
and McCabe, and the men who have
asked for DIR. Wiley's removal to serve
the interests which would profit by the
use of this preservative that caused the
issuance of that order
THE Remsen board had merely decided
that small doses of the stuff administered
T. strong. healthy young men produced
no bad effects during the short period
covered by the experiments. The Rem
se'i board was not asked to determine
whether or not the use Of benzoate in
unlimited quantities as a preservative in
food that would be eaten by children
and invalids and aged persons should be
permitted.
Whole story to BE Aired.
THE whole story of the conflict which
has ragged about the pure food activities
of DR.. Wiley is to be brought out and
aired. This was made plainly evident
yesterday in the examination OF George
P. McCabe, solicitor of the Agricultural
Department, which was only partially
finished when the House investigating
committee finished It's work last even
ing.
Following a controversy as to the COM
mittees Jurisdiction, Chairman Moss
made it clear that the investigation of
the Wiley incident-the charges that he
has technically violated the law in hiring
a scientific assistant-and all the other
facts pertaining to the enforcement Of
the pure food and drugs act would be
permitted to be aired by the committee,
Notwithstanding the fact that II had not
received express authority from the
House to make such an investigation"
