ARCHBALD'S TRIAL
MAY GO OVER TO
NOVEMBER SESSION
Senators Decline to Remain
for Trial, Desiring to Fix
Their Fences.

II the Senate tries the Archibald inn
peachment case before adjournment for
the summer, II will be compelled to pro-
ceed without quorum. according to
present Indications
The Senate will not formally consider
the question of when to act on the
Archibald case until IT meets as a court.
August g. At that time all the plead
ings and answers will be In and the is
sue Joined. But the belief is growing
that the case will be put over until next
November or until the regular session.
A number OF Senators say they will
not remain here for the trial. Some
want to hasten home to iron out po-
litical troubles. Others want to rest and
have engaged passage to Europe or are
planning trips to the seashore or noun
tains.
The majority of votes now is In favor
of deferring the trial. However, the in
sistence OF the House managers and
some of the Senate Democrats may
make It embarrassing for Senators to
vote to postpone.
The Senate rules are VAGUE as to
keeping quorum when sitting as a

CONGRESSMANWANTS
TO KNOW LOCATION
OF CHICKEN FARMS
Sulloway Of New Hamp-
shire, Also Interested in
Facts About Squads.

In response to resolution intro
duced by Congressman Sulloway of
New Hampshire, Health Officer Wood
ward today ordered the preparation of
data relative to the existence OF
chicken and pigeon farms in the Dis
trict. Mr.. Sulloway wants to know
whether any chicken, pigeon, or squab
aviaries have been maintained In resi-
dental sections since May %. 1912. in
violation of existing police regulations,
and IL so what action the Commission
ers have taken.
Permits to keep chickens are issued
under stringent regulations, the number
on record being 629 1t Is provided that
mo persons shall keep domestic fowls
within the fire limits within twenty-five
feet of any structure used for human
habitation, nor shall such domestic
fowls be perYiitted to run. fly or stray
within twenty-five feet of any such
structure"
II is a matter of almost daily occur
renee, according to officials of the
Health Department, to send to chicken
owners notice concerning the reRula-
tions, and a number of prosecutions
have been entered.
The exsct number OF chicken owners
who have been called to account In re-
cent months, together with other in
formation desired by Mr.. Sulloway. will
be contained In the Commissioners re-
port, which, II was said today, will re-
quire several days to prepare.

TO ACT ON
FOREIGNERS PLANS
T0GET NAVAL BASE
Subcommittee to Report on
Magdalena Bay Situation
Thursday.

Coincident with the turn for the wor se
in Mexican affairs, the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee is apparently get
ting ready to take a strong stand with
respect to the attitude of the United
States regarding Magdalena bay.
The indications are there will be ac-
tion by the committee and by the Senate
which will amount to a reinforcement
of the Monroe doctrine and a warning
to Japan or any other foreign power To
keep hands off Naval bases on the West
ern continent. especially within easy
distance of the Panama canal
The Committee on Foreign Relations
some time ago named a subcommittee
headed by Senator Lodge to consider
the question of what attitude this Gov
ernment should take In view of the NJ
gottations which have been carried oE
for the transfer into Japanese hands
of valuable concessions In the Magda-
lena bay region.
The subcommittee will report to the
main committee Thursday. resolu-
tion hag been prepared by Senator
Lodge and is supported by a majority
of the committee. the effect of which
is that any action by a foreign power
icdOihS - CstdphShiicht VI a SpoiitS
station or a naval base on the West
ern continent is contrary to- the ii,-
terests and policy of the United States
and a subject for consideration by the
Senate.
Senator Hitchcock has a resolution
which is aimed in the same direction
but is less pointed and specific than the
Lodge resolution. Senator Root has
opposed .he adoption of any resolution
that would be pronounced in it's Ian.
guage and would be considered as ann
ing too specifically toward any coun
try.
Senator Lodge Is in favor of a Wig.
orous stand and Is understood to have
strong support on the subcommittee
in the main committee and in tn,
Senate
