HOUSE DECLARES
FOR IMPEACHMENT
Judge Archibald Arraigned by
Vote Of 222 to |.


Washington, July 1.-THE house of
representatives adopted, by a vote of
222 to 1, articles of Impeachment
against Judge Robert w. Archibald of
the United States commerce court.
Representative Farr of Pennsylvania
cast the single vote against the bill Of
impeachment. Mr.. Farr is a lifelong
friend who has all along voiced con-
tidence in Judge Archbald's integrity.
Only three members had spoken in
the judges defense. They were Rep
resentatives Farr, Bowman and Focht,
all Republicans of Pennsylvania.
The,scene now will shift to the sem
ate, which will sit in judgment in the
case. While there has been a dispo-
sition voiced in the senate to postpone
the trial until autumn, Chairman Clay
on of the house committee on the
judiciary, and one of the prosecuting
managers, declared his conviction that
the senate would take up the impeach-
ment soon.

Sons and Daughters Of Norway MAY
Affiliate.
For the first time in the history Of
the national meeting Of the Sons of
Norway the Daughters of Norway
were given official recognition at
Fargo.
They appeared with a proposition
for a~filiation with the sons. It will
take some time to work out a plan,
but it is meeting with general favor.
The daughters were given a page in
the official publication of the sons. It
was recommended that the third dis
trict of the national organization be
created to include the Atlantic and
New England states. 1t is now a fore
gone conclusion that a special ship
will be chartered by the national or
ganization for a trip to Norway in
1914 to celebrate Norwegian indie
pendence. A committee reported pre-
liminary arrangements had progressed
sufficiently to insure a special boat.
At the concluding business session
of the grand lodge, Sons of Norway,
officers Tor n coming year were
elected as follows: President, Olaf 1.

Arrangements were made whereby
the congress hereafter will be an an
nual affair, meeting in connection
with the Sangerfest. The organiza-

A campaign will be launched by the

"In reference to purported inter

being also published in substance in

personally that if there was any deal
made with the Wilson supporters to

was made without my knowledge and
against my wishes.
"My advice was at all times to use
every honorable influence for the
nomination of Governor Wilson and
let the vice presidency take cart of

as stated in the interview. On the
contrary, am highly pleased with the
ticket nominated at Baltimore, and I

News Of the Week From varI-
Gus Parts Of the State.
THIRDPARTY Sentiment WEAK
Opinion Is Divided as to How Vote
viii Go in State-Wilson
Will Gain Support.

Opinion is divided in North Dakota,
among the politicians, as to what will
be the probable effect of the third
party movement on local conditions.
They also are unable to tell with any
certainty, what kind of support will
be given the movement, and it prob
ably will require several more weeks
to gain anything like definite informa-
ton on that point.
The Roosevelt movement in the
early spring campaign in North Dakota
was backed by an element entirely
different from that which entered
into the Roosevelt campaign in other
states, and it is not clear yet whether
any considerable portion of the men
prominent in the presidential cam
paign will become involved in any
manner with the third party launched
by Roosevelt.
P~rogressives of North Dakota are,
In the main, opposed to Roosevelt.
They were out and out La Toilette
men from the start. They frowned
upon R~oosevelt's entrance in the race,
and they were opposed to him from
the start. They also are opposed to
Taft, and it is questionable whether
they will give their support to him.
Wilson will, of course, gain heavy
support in the state.

organization, will hardly follow steps

Fast Mail on Burlington Col

Chicago, July 16.-Thirteen persons

Western Springs, a suburb of Chicago.
Coming through a fog, with sup

8, a fast mail, ran at full speed into
the rear of train No. 2, known as the
Overland express from Denver, which
was standing on the track, telescop-
ing two of the Overland's Pullman
cars.
Railroad officials refused to fix the
blame until after the wreck has been
investigated thoroughly. Mrs. F. A.
Wilcox, who was in charge of the
tower from which the block signals
were controlled, said she was certain
the block was thrown against both
trains.

stopped.
Fire, starting from the gas lights in
the sleepers, Immediately broke out.
Many victims pinned down by heavy
timbers and iron that had been torn
from the engine, pleaded for death as
%deliverance from the flames. Mem
bers of the fire departments of West
ern Springs and La Grange were on
the scene within a few minutes after
the wreck and they put out the fire
with lines of hose.
Ghouls are believed to have robbed
the dead before they reached the

LABORERS IN GREAT DEMAND
Several Thousand Men Needed In
Harvest Fields This Year.

Harvest flelQS his year.
Commercial clubs of North Dakota
are making a canvass of the labor sit
uation in the state to ascertain just
how many men will be needed to har-
vest the crop. The labor demand will
be the greatest in the history Of the
state, the largely increased acreage
and the fact that the crop outlook is
now about normal for the state, makes
1t certain that the farmers will re-
quest more help than they have any
previous year.
From La Moure county comes the
request for 5000 men, while Foster
county has reported the need of 500
to 1000 men.
North Dakota's demand for labor
during the last two years has been
light, and farmers fear this will ope-
rate to keep laborers away this year.
For this reason, the business men of
the state will take early steps to ward
off the possibility of a labor shortage.
