Defer ARCHIBALD ACTION
Members of House Decide to
Pass First on Clayton
Contempt Bill.

The action OF the House in the pro-
posed impeachment proceeding against
Judge Archibald Of the United States
Commerce Court was deferred today
until the House should have passed on
the Clayton contempt bill. II the House
acts in the Archibald case today, or even
takes 1t up for consideration, it will not
be until nearly 6 o'clock this evening. II
was agreed when the House met today
that there should be three hours general
debate on the contempt bill. but later. al
the request of Minority Leader Mann,
this time was extended by two hours.
Representative Clayton, chairman OF
the judiciary committee, gave notice that
he intended to call up the Archibald re-
port as soon as the contempt bill was
disposed of. He expressed fear. how
ever, that it would be difficult to get a
quorum of the House at that hour of
the day. Mr. Clayton said. too, that II
had been suggested in the press that
members Of another body, meaning the
Senate, Were anxious not to take up the
Archibald impeachment proceedings at
this session, even If the House ordered
the Impeachment proceeding.
Mr. Clayton declared that now Is the
time TO care for pub:lc business, and that
he himself had no sympathy with any
effort TO postpone the trial of Judge
Archibald ID.

SENATOR FLETCHER
ATTACKS ROOSEVELT
IN LORIMER SPEECH

With keen sarcasm, Senator Fletcher
Of Florida attacked Col. Theodore Roose-
welt in speech in the Senate yesterday
afternoon while defending Senator Lori
mer. MIR. Fletcher had been discussing
the alleged request Of Edward Hines FOX
a contribution from Clarence S. Funk OIL
the International Harvester Company to
the alleged 'Lorimer fund.-" and the pub
licity given to the alleged request by IL.
H. kohlsaat Of the Chicago Record
Herald.
On that evidence. Mr. Fletcher said.
was based the action of Theodore Roose-
veiI a spectacular figure in public life Their
as now. refusing, and publishing to the
world mis- refusal, to sit at a dinner given
by the Hamilton Club in Chicago with
Senator Lorlmer, one of Its members.
MIR. kohlsaat brought that about by re-
peating the gossip from Funk to the ex-
empIAr of purity i'll politics and high
ideals in government and good manners
in society.
He could enjoy a luncheon with Book
Ell Washington at the White House, but
with Mr.. LOrtmer, member OF the club
OF which he was a guest. He could not
oounternance sitting at meat with pub
llcans and sinners.
1.-The headquarters OF morality did
not know then, and has not since taken
the trouble to become acquainted with
the facts; he depended on the hearsay
information furnished by his friend
kohlsaat, setting forth the false allega-
ton that $1OO,OUO had been raised and
used to elect Mr.. Lorimer.

CANADA ANXIOUS OVER NAVY.
Public Awaits With Keen Interest
Negotiations in London.

OTTAWA. July 9.-The Canadian public
is awaiting with the keenest interest the
negotiations now in progress In London
between Premier Borden and the British
admiralty regarding the proposed Cana
dian navy.
The Borden government has disavowed
the Laurier policy and will endcavor to
substitute something 1t considers better.
1t is reported here that In place Of con-
tributing two dreadnaughts to the Brit

the government will undertake to main

Set Various Dates.

He has in his various accounts of this
conversation given the date OF its occur
renee all the way from few days after
May 81, 1863, througa September and DC
tober, 1910, then prior to September, 1910;
then few days before or after F>ebru-
airy 6, 1911; then on or about January 20
1911, so we have it, with equal positive
ness, at about seven dates scattered over
a period of little less than two years,
declared Mr.. Fletcher.
1.-The Honeythunder press takes up the
cry and dins in the ears Of the public,
through the deep bass Of the metro
politan journal, the cracked soprano OF
the less pretentous dailies, and the sharp
rasping tenor of the weekly, all in full
cry, bent on the destruction of Lorimer.
The public is told that a dangerous man,
a menace to society, Pulling down the in
stitutions Of the country, Is welding
power and must be suppressed and dis
posed of.
THE whole story is absurd Hines had
q bare acquaintance with Funk, and no
one can fail to give him credit for hav-
ing more sense than to solicit a contribu-
ton to a corruption fund from him. I'M
der the circumstances and conditions as
they existed Funk was as positive as
Hines was active down at Springfield as
he is about the substance of that con-
versation, but the fact is Hines had not
been in Springfield for three years be-
fore or two years after the election or
senator in 1909
