BANK CLOSING
CAUSED PANIC
Chairman Of New York Clearing
House So Tells Pujo Com
mittee.
WALTER E. FREw Is
UNWILLING WITNESS
Witness Says he Is Unfamiliar with
the Morgan Influences in
Wall Street.

Walter f. Frew, chairman Of the
New York Clearing House Committee,
was forced to admit at the hearing or
the Money Trust investigating commit
tee yesterday in answer. to questions by
Samuel Untermyer that the panic OF
1907 was precipitated by the closing. OF
the Knickerbocker Trust Company OF
New York and that the main reason
for the closing OF that institu-
ton was the refusal OF the National
Bank OF Commerce OF New York to
clear for II. The point that Untermyer
tried to bring out was that the New
York Clearing House could at any time
precipitate a panic IL it chose to, and
that there was urgent necessity for
either State or Federal regulation OF an
institution Of such great power.
Frew was on the stand all day, and
proved a most unwilling witness. He
is President Of the Corn Exchange Bank
Of New York. one of the five institutions
which loan out millions OF dollars every
day to tire loan crowd" in Wall Street
to carry thousands of Speculative &C.
counts for Wall Street brokers and their
clients.
Frew examination was not COM
pleted. and, by agreement between his
counsel and counsel for the committee,
he will be allowed 20 make certain
statements before the committee to-
day, the nature Of which could not be
learned.
By questioning the witness concerning
the amount II money his institution
loaned out In Wall Street and the
amount It kept on deposit from ninety
four correspondents throughout the
country, Untermyer forced Frew to ad-
nit that no matter how much demand
there might be in the interior of the
country for money to finance crop move
mems and industrial and commercial
needs, the Wall Street banks were able
to keep the money in Wall Street 10

SENATE LEADERSHIP
MAY Be DIVIDED.
Gore of Oklahoma Expected to Be
Assisted by 0'Gorman and
Smith.
NO FRICTION IS EXPECTED

There is a marked difference of opin-
lon among the Democrats Of the Senate
as to the leader OF that august body
after March next. Reliable statements
have been made from Democratic sources
that the new leader is expected to be
Senator Thomas Pryor Gore OF Okla
homa- The information yesterday was,
however, that while all Senator Cores
Democratic colleagues are on cordial,
even admirable, terms with him, they
rather feel that situations are likely to
arise in the next Senate which will call
Tor the active cooperation OF Senator
man OF New York.
Senator Crane and his friends are in
clined to believe that as time goes on
the Democrats during President Wilson $
administration may have a majority In
the Senate Of two, and possibly six, al
though the indications are at the mo-
ment that in the early days of the VIII
son administration the Senate will be a
tie. While Senator Gore is particularly
happy IN his intimate relations with the
President-elect, there is a feeling among
notable Democrats in the Senate and the
House that the Oklahoma statesman will
find It convenient and agreeable to the
interests OF the Democratic party that
both Senator Smith OF Georgia and SEN
ator O'Gorman Of New York occupy
prominent parts in the leadership Of the
Senate.
May De split in Body.
There are Republicans here who believe
that the next Democratic Senate Is to be
split up into several factions, and that
no one of the Democratic Senators can
hold these factions together in caucus
for any length Of time. Indeed. there
are Republicans who believe that Rep
Underwood will have great
difficulty in getting through the House
tariff bills amid the disputauons Of va
rious Democratic factions in the Senate.
Mr.. Underwood stated yesterday that he
was convinced that at the proper time
the House bill. almost in its entirety,
would be accepted by the Senate. Repre-
sentative Underwood. as chairman OF the
Ways and Means Committee, had expect
ed to announce the dates and progress
Of the tariff hearings next month. but
was detained by long committee hearings,
and will issue his statement after the

ARCHIBALD CALLED
CORRUPT JUDGE
William P. Boland, on Stand in
impeachment Case, Becomes
Belligerent.
SAYS JUDGE WILMER
Is LITTLE IMPROVEMENT
Witness Says He Saw Papers That
Archibald Pointed to When He
Threatened Railroad.

E. ]. Williams showed William P.
Poland the papers he said Judge Robert
W. Archibald, Of the United States CON-
merce Court, pointed to when he threat.
ened to make the Erie Railroad suffer
unless it agreed to let Judge Archibald.
Williams, and others have the valuable
katydid culm dump for a mere song,
according to Boland's testimony yester-
Gay before the Senate. sitting in i'm
peachment proceedings against the Fed
eral Judge.
This bit Of testimony was about the
only pertinent information obtainable
from Bolands testimony, but in view
OF the doubt which has surrounded the
alleged threat Of Archibald to harm the
railroad, which was then a litigant be-
fore his court, it is considered OF more
than ordinary Importance.
According to Boland. when williams
reported to him that Capt May, general
manager of-the Hillside Coal and Iron
Company, subsidiary OF the Erie and
the owner of the largest part of the
hatydid dump, had refused TO grant
Williams, Boland, and Archibald an Oh
ton on the lease for $500, he (williams)
had said that Archibald had seized some
papers from his desk and said that TN
less the Hillside or Erie people changed
their minds he would make them suffer.
Look at all the work I am doing for
them. preparing their briefs in these
cases" Boland said Williams reported
the judge as declaring.
Certain of Language.
I thought Williams must have been
mistaken when he told me this" said
Roland, ''and 1 asked him if he was sure
the judge had said briefs Williams
replied that he was certain the Judge
had said briefs; that they were the briefs
IN the hghterage case, in which the Eric
was then interested and which was
awaiting action before the Commerce
Court.
Boland then went on to tell how he
had obtained a sight of the papers, send
ing Williams into the judges office and
Having him hold the papers up to a win
dow so he (Boland) could see and identify
them.
Il wanted to go in and take them and
have them photographed, but 1 was
afraid the judge would miss them and
have me arrested and thrown into Jail
or something" said BoIand naiveIy.
William P. BoIand, who followed his
brother, Christy Boland, on the stand,
is directly responsible for the present
predicament in which Judge Archibald
finds himself. Boland, as president of
the Marion Coal Company, Of Scranton,
a company which had been in litigation
before Judge Archbald's court in the
same city, laid before the Interstate
Commerce Commission the charges which
resulted in the investigation by wrisley
Brown, of the Department Of Justice,
and the uncoVering of the deals upon
which the prosecution hopes to convict
Archibald.

First Aid TO The Farmer.

Somebody's always ready to advise
the son of toll
Who wrests his daily living from
the ground;
He's always being lectured on how to
till the soil,
And scientific treatlses abound;
He's scolded cause he doesn't carry
with him In his coat
Professor Nix on cultivating corn;
His ear should be attuned to catch the
scientific note,
Nor strained to hear the distant din
ner horn
There's some one always ready to tell
the man who farms
He never does thing exactly right;
"a magazine informs him he might en-
nance life's charms
III he'd only choose his furniture
Alright;
He should have q mission stable and
a corncrib Gothic style,
His chicken coops should ell DO
modern Swiss;
He should at once be artistic and u
scientist the while,
And country life would be a dream
of bliss.
There's some one always ready to ad-
wise the farmer chap
He's the prey Of all the men who
talk and write
But it's lucky for the rest OF us 10
doesn't give rap
And he never argues back nor starts
a fight;
He goes his way in silence and To-
reaps the crop he sows,
And the world lives On in comfort
through his toll;
Nor praise nor blame shall matter,
as on his way he goes
The only man the critics cannot
spoil!

! Our Gardens Come and Go, But Ii
England They Go On Forever.

Frank a Waugh, professor OF land
scape- gardening at the Massachusetts
Agricultural College, writes an article
in the February Woman's Home Com
paniOn on "Short-Order Gardens In
which he tells what can be done In
one season with ANNALS ("Annuals"
are flowers which are the product OF
single summer.) OF the difference
between English and American gard
ems, Professor Waugh says:
1.-The greatest difference between
the English and American gardening
lies just here; the English take more
time; the Americans are always I'm
haste. One rarely sees, or at least
one rarely notices, an English garden
which is not 1T least twenty-five or
fifty years old, In America one can
hardly ind garden with more than
i've years OF maturity upon 1t.
I'm five years our pleasant sub
urb 10 crowded with shops or fac
tories, and we have to move Oh; or
our Office has been transferred from
Philadelphia to Seattle, and the fam
lily has to follow; or mothers health
wanes, and we change our dom1c1le-
our Lares and Penates, our AQuile-
gias and Tagetes-from Massachu-
sets to Florida.
Quite demonstrably, then, the an

product Of a single summer. Some
of them can be planted, grown, bios
somed, and harvested in three
months. That brings them within
the range Of the family rusticating in
