Testify to Culm Leases.
Most Of the witnesses testified in regard
to Judge Archbald's alleged activity in
regard to culm bank leases and the dis
counting Of notes bearing his name.
Munson and Searle were examined in
regard to the raising Of $500 as a purse
toward defraying Judge Archbald's ex-
penses of a trip to Europe in 1910.
Mr.. Munson said that he was asked to
subscribe to the purse. but that he de-
clined. because of his high regard for
the judge and his desire not to embarrass
him.
II would like to say" added Mr.. Num-
son. that I always found Judge Arch
bald absolutely fair and impartial, and
that I never tried a case before a more
honorable and upright judge than he.''
Mr.. Searle declared that since testi-
flying before the House judiciary COM
mittee he had refreshed his memory in
regard to the purse. He said the plan
to present it originated in talk about
giving the judge dinner before leav-
ing for Europe. 1t developed that only
eight or nine could attend the dinner.
and SO those who had planned the af-
fair agreed to give the Judge the money
raised. They feared that the judge
would refuse It. and SO put the money
in an envelope marked Sailing orders
Do not open until two days out" Mr..
Searle said some lawyers complained
because they were not asked to con-
tribute.
Declares Judges Credit Good.
Mr.. Searle said that Judge Archibald
came to him upon receiving a letter from
the judges wife's cousin, Henry W. Can
non. inviting him to be his guest on the
European trip. The witness explained
that Judge Archibald hesitated to accept
because those he owed might feel that
he should have used the money At would
cost him for the trip in paying his debts.
Mr.. Searle was pressed as to the Judge s
debts. He insisted there were debts, but
that the judges credit was good.
Judge Archibald has been held and is
now held in the highest respect by the
people Of Scranton said the witness.

Balkans who became American citizens

proofs of valor and bravery of which
Uncle Sam should be as proud as we
are"
The determination of the Balkan states
not to allow an Ottoman policy of pro-
crastination is significant on account of
the form which it has manifested. THE
Turks are much mistaken" said one of
the chief delegates. 'if they entertain
such an idea. Peace will practically be
concluded between Christmas and New

TAFT's NOMINEES OPPOSED
Senate Democrats Show Desire to
Prevent Confirmation.

Washington, d. President Taft
sent more than 200 recess appoint
ments to the senate Wednesday, and
Immediately indications of a move
ment among some of the Democratic
senators to prevent their confirmation
became evident. Senatore Gore, it
was said, would have the active sup
port of several colleagues in holding
the movement.
The campaign is directed specially
against nominations which had been
postponed from time to time, thus
bringing the new terms close to the
beginning of the Democratic admins
tration. Democratic senators contend
the president already has deprived the
Democrats of the privilege of appoint
ing 3d. postmasters by placing
them within the civil service law by a
single order.
Most of the Democratic senators ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to a
discriminating obstruction, but sew
eral progressive" senators, whose
assistance had been counted on, did
not appear to be willing to cooperate,
1t is said.

RAILROAD PAYS LARGE FEE
Illinois Receives $11O,SS5 From
Burlington Under Protest.

Springfield, Ill.-0ne Of the largest
fees ever received into the state treas
ury was paid under protest Wednesday
by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad company. A check for $780,
1856 was paid to Secretary Doyle as a
fee for an extension for so years Of
the roads charter in this state. At
torneys for the railroad contend the
road is operating under perpetual
charter, but to be on the safe side
they decided to take advantage of the
recent act of the legislature allowing
corporations the right to extend their
charters so years.
The law in question is silent on the
subject of fees in connection with such
extensions, but the secretary of state
held they must be paid.
Attorneys for the railroad have
given notice that action will be insti-
tuted in the Supreme court to recover
the fee.
