 Jurist

Washington May 13.-Judge Robert w, Archbalds defense, in part at least, to the charges against him, now being aired
 before the House judiciary committee which will decide if impeachment proceed lngs shall be brought, was indicated at todays hearing.
 What appeared to havo been a delib- crate trap set to catch the jurist in an
 emba rrassing transaction was revealed by the testimony and the defense indi cated that it would make the most of it. It was alleged that w. F. Roland of Scran-
 ton, Pa. who had Teen one of the defeat
 ed parties to case before Judge Arch- bald in the commerce court, purposely had Edward ]. Williams, the principal witness against the judge solicit Archibald to sen- ter the Katydid Culm bank option trans action with the Erie railroad while the roads '1ighterage cases' were pending in the court This transaction led to the | filing of charges against the judge. Bo- ! land is waiting to testify and probably will be heard tomorrow
 | w. A. May, manager of the Erie rail roads coal properties, who gave the op- | ton on the Culm bank to Williams and l Judge Archibald and G. F. Brownell, vice
 president and general counsel of the Erie probably will testify next. According tO | Williams testimony, Judge Archibald per sonally sought Mir. Brownell's influence to | get the Katydid option after May had re- | fused it.

Laundry" and get laundered from head to foot without having to take off their clothes and make out d laundry list.
 In the East Lake human laundry they positively guarantee first class work at moderate prices. For 10 cents they laundry a whole human being, man or woman, no matter how many clothes either may have on. The most delicate fabric will not be soiled or torn, nor will the colors run in any of them
 There is said to be more fun to the square inch in being done up and washed in the human laundry than go- ing to a circus.

MARY JOHNSTON IN
 SUFFRAGE PARADE
Writes Impressions of Big Demonstration Recently ;
 Made in New York

l Miss Mary Johnston, the author of ITO
 Have and to Hold and other successful
 stories who recently lectnred in Birming
 ham in behalf of suffrage was the leader
 of the Virginia delegation Of suffragists
 in the recent big parade up Fifth avenue,
 New York. Writing her impressions of
 the parade for the New York American. Miss Johnston said:
 q think the suffrage parade was very
 great success, and the result justifies the time, expense and trouble involved. Tt is just as though the whole move
 ment, north. south. east and west, united
 6nce year in getting out an admirable poster and placing 1t before half a mill lion people. Half a million see the orig
 inal and millions read about it and see it reproduced by the camera.
 This special poster was admirable In design and execution. What it symboizes Is by far the most tremendous of all
 modern movements It was an honor to be one of the figures in the poster. It is
 an honor to be associated with that move
 ment.
 This is in no sense a contest of sex against sex. It is a cooperative move fnCnt, lUez O0e iIllIB hp HiAh thO Othti in the immemorlal fight for human free
 dom. It is the spirit of democracy march ing on, and the goal is better world and better human type to dwell in that world.
 ''The woman movement has many fa- cets besides the political one. But at the
 moment the political facet is the domi- nsnt one. The ballot Is the weapon of l civilization. It is necessary to the wom- l an of the twentieth century, and she is going to fight for it until she wins it. There were many notable persons in the suffrage parade; a coincidence was the
 presence in the ranks of the grandson of
 Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose story of | Uncle Toms Cabin infiamed the north.
 as nothing had done in years, and the great-nephew of Robert E. Lee, the idol ot the Cenfederacy. In the north Mrs. Stowe was revered while her writings were denounced in the south. In the south Robert E. Lee was worshipped and in the north he was hated But sectional feel
 ing was pronounced dead IA years ago
 when the troops of the north and south l camped together in the Spanish war. When these two young men marched
 shoulder to shoulder for principle in l the parade in New York there was no | thought of sectional antagonism. MT. Stowe is q Harvard man-the son or | Charles Stowe and like his grandmother,
 who expressed herself strongly for sui frage in one of her books, is an ardent sufiragist Mir. Lee, who is related to Mary Johnston, is as firm in his belief and lby his presence in the New York pa- rade represented thousands of Virginia Lees and Johnstons.

 T wish to thank our members for their liberal subscriptions to the tournament, although many of them did not play in it.
 Our golfers are among the best and most influential citizens of our country and it is of great benefit to our city to have such people visit 1t.
 T hope to have the cooperation and assistance of every member of the club, all complaints as regards service and any suggestions from the members, will be carefully considered by the board of gov aors We are going to try to make such improvements as our finances will justify, and for fear you will call referendum on us, we want to do the things that meet your approval"

EVELYN NESBIT TRIES TO
 RAISE MONEY TO QUIT THAW

exploitation of the infant to whom she is tenderly attached and whose young life already has had more than it's share of mystery.
 The child was born in Hamburg, Germany a little less than year after the last test of the sanity of Thaw in White Plains in July and August, 1909
 Thaw enjoyed a large degree of per- sonal freedom at that time. Those who have seen the little boy from the mo- ment of his birth are enthusiastic about his baby beauty They say the baby his bright searching, black eyes, a faultless complexion and every charm that babyhood can claim. When Eve lyn Thaw and her baby returned to New York about a year ago they lived in Harlem, but recently have been in an upper Broadway apartment, near Woodstock. The baby is in charge oi a negro woman.

 Further Provisions
 The proposed decree further pro- vides:

DuPont de Ne mours Powder company in payment | therefor 50 per cent of the said pur- chase price in bonds, not secured by mortgage, bearing interest at per cent, payable in 10 years and the remaining 50 per cent in the stock of said two fcompanies at par. While the bonds bear per cent interest. such interest is only payable if earned by the com pany issuing the same, and not other wise. Upon the receipt by the F. l. Du- Pont de Nemours Powder company of the stock and bonds aforesaid 1t Is re- quired to distribute the whole of said stock and one-half of said bonds among it's stockholders, and in such distribu tion one-half of the stock received by the 27 defendants of this cause shall be stock without voting power, and un- der this provision of the plan, the 27 defendants will not have sufficient vot ing stock to control either of the two new corporations"
 The plan further provides that there shall be transferred to the two new companies a fair proportion of the bus mess in explosives now controlled by the DuPont company
 The 27 defendants held responsible for the unlawful combination are en- joined from further extending the pow CT of the combination or from enter ing into or forming any like combina- tion.
 Ample provision also is to enjoin the defendants from making prices designed to drive out of business rival manu- lecturers
 The three companies provided for un- der the plan are made defendants to the cause and are bound by the pro- visions of the plan and of the decree.
