of Judge Archibald, charged with US
ing his Office to procure favor from
railroads. Taft said 1t was not COM
patible with public interest to make
all the papers public at this time, but
they had been sent to the judiciary
of the house for such further inves-
tigation as it might desire to make.
1t will rest with this committee
whether or not impeachment pro-
ce<ngs will be begun.
Washington, May 4.-Attorney
General Wickersham today sent to
the house judiciary committee the re-

mends a further investigation at the
hands of the committee as to wheth-
er or not impeachment proceedings
should be begun.
IN A MINE DEAL.

made against Archibald, it is said, is
he was interested in a proposal to
purchase some Culm banks owned
by a coal company controlled by the
Erie railroad. 1t is asserted these
were to be bought for comparatively
small sum and sold at a profit OF
$25,000 to $4,000, Of which, it il
charged, Archibald would receive one
third as his share.

The "Negro Problem"

Atlanta, Dec. 18.-The negro prob
lem in all it's phases is scheduled
for discussion in Georgia tomorrow by
special commission on Southern
race questions, composed of eleven
college professors chosen from the
faculties of eleven southern state
universities.
The University of Georgia is repre-
sented on this commission by Prof.
K. j. Il. DeLoach, who occupies the
chair of COTTON industry. The en-
tire commission is composed OF SOU
therners who have lived in the states
where the negro citizenship is large,
and who therefore know something
hrst-hand of the conditions which
they seek to improve.
The creation of the commission
grew out of the fact that most dis
cussion of the negro problem in the
past has been at the hands of north
ern investigators and philanthropists,
who, whatever other abilities and
high motives they may have had, at
least have not had the direct exper-
fence and knowledge to be gained
from living in the South

No Money for Teachers.

Atlanta, Dec 1S.-School teachers
in Georgia whose Christmas happi-
ness this year is dependant on their
receiving reasonable portion of
their yearly salary before the holt
days, are doomed to bitter disappoint-
ment.
The state treasurer is doing every
thing he can to meet the situation, but
the most he can possibly do is to pay
10 per cent, and even that small pro-
rortion of what the state owes the
teachers is not certain to be paid this
year.
Whether even the small 10 per cent
can be paid is largely depending en-
the promptness with which the rail-
roads and large corporations pay their
taxes within the next three days.

DAYS DOING At
STATE CAPITAL
NEWsY ITEMS GATHERED IN
GEORGiA'S BUSY Me-
TROPOlIS.

Atlanta, Dec. 1S.-As the result of
a number of heated discussions in
city council. it is becoming evident
that Atlanta is soon to have some
radical change in the city ordinance
governing the Airking of autos ON
Peachtree and Whitehall in the heart
of the business section.
At present there is no law of any
kind on the subject, ana the result is
that autos line both curbs, wedged in
solidly from corner to corner, some
of the machines standing there all
day long, when Used by professional
men occupying downtown offices, 9TH
ers frequently remaining on one spot
the livelong morning while their own
ers are shopping.
The simple objection that such per-
manent parking obstructs traffic is
now made more serious by the objec-
| ton offered by the fire department,
that the obstruction OF the autos on
the curb would seriously render them,
and in certain cases make them al
most helpless in case of big fire in
one of the downtown crowded see
tons.
Atlanta is said to he the most lax
/! city in the country IN this regard
Most cities either have special rules
as to where cars can be parked and
where they cannot, or at least have
| rules Inv which oars can OnI\ sion for
a certain length of time in the crowd
ed business thoroughfares.
Some members of council, however,
are bent on letting things stay just
nance is apparently what will result.
