EVIDENCE AGAINST
JUDGE ARCHIBALD
KEEPS P|L|NG UP
Senate Sitting in Impeach-
ment Trial Hears Damag-
ing Testimony
ITS AUGUST DIGNITY
is SOMEWHAT UPSET
Captain A. w. May Gives Lie
to Statement in Rude
Violation of Sena-
torial Custom

WASHINGTON, Dec s.-"If that
claim is made. It Is a lie,'' said Cap
tain A. w. May. to the United States
senate this afternoon. Mr.. May was
testifying In the impeachment pro-
ceedings against Judge Robert w.
Archibald, OF the court OF commerce.
He didn't know that he had offered
an unheard of affront to senatorial dig
nifty until he saw Senator Galhnger
gasp and almost fall from his chair.
The next instant, presiding officer
Bacon thumped hts gavel ON the desk,
and wrathfully demanded that the
witness apologize. The witness did
SO. and the trial proceeded.
May. who il general manager OF the
Hillside Coal and Iron company, was
provoked to his assault upon the peace
and dignity OF the senate by the In
situation from Archbald's counsel
that fake" letters had been intro
duced as testimony which concealed
Mays real object in withdrawing an
offer to sell the Judge the katydid
'Cufrn bank. -
The house managers. who are pro-
scouting Archibald. today established
clearly that the culm bank had been
offered to Archibald for q third of
its value. Masking the case still worse
for the defense, the deposition or e. J..
williams. containing many damaging
statements. was admitted as evidence
and W !. Prior, another witness, veri-
fed the silent partner" contract
Judge worthington, for Archibald,
complained that Representative Ster-
ling. for the prosecution, had prac-
tically accused witness OF untruth-
fitness. Bacon permitted Sterling to
continue.
The visit OF Judge Archibald to the
Erie railroad, which made possible
the tentative sale OF the Katydid cuim
dump after May had first declined to
negotiate, was substantiated by George
F. Brownell. chief counsel for the
Erie railroad He stated that Judge
Archibald had called at his Office and
asked an introduction to Weep resi-
dent G. A. Richardson.
A demand made this afternoon for
the presence OF Mr.. Richardson dis
closed the fact that that official was
in a hospital In New York city suf-
fering from stroke of paralysis. The
name of the hospital was refused to
the sergeant-at-arms of the senate.

The finding Of the jury, before Jus

were compelled by Steuer to sign Miss

CLASH IN SENATE

TAFT APPOINTMENTS UNDER CIVIL
SERVICE RULES RAISES A
RUMPUS.
HOKE SMITH IN ARMS
HEADS OFF EXECUTIVE SESSION
AND PREVENTS REPUBLICANS
FROM CONFIRMING LIST
SENT IN.
HOKE SMITH IN ARM.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 6.-The long
brewing row over patronage in the
senate broke this afternoon when Sem
ator Hoke Smith, Of Georgia, deliber-
ateiy prevented an executive session in
which the Republicans intended to
confirm a big list Of brand new Taft
appointments.
Inside of three minutes senators on
both sides were promising war to the
knife, and there is every indication
that these promises will be very
scrupuieusly kept.
Mr.. Taft now that the hands OF his
administration are running low, has
arranged to put three or four hundred
Republicans in Office for four-year
terms, where, safeguarded by the civil
service they can fling defiance at the
incoming president, and form the nu-
cleus of the new Republican party.
The Democrats In the senate have
announced that this would not be
permitted today. but refusing to allow
an executive session they put the first
skids under the Taft arrangements.
Senator Smith headed of the exc
cutive session by raising the point of
no quorum. He was acting not for
himself, alone. but for the Demo-
cratic leaders, and the Republicans
knew II. As the Archibald impeach-
ment session had concluded, there was
nothing to do but adjourn. The Re-
publican senators Immediately got
their heads together on the floor and
from them presently issued the threat
that IL the Democrats wanted war,
they should have 1t.
"You will not have much Of a ma
Jority yourselves. after the 4th Of
next March," 4 Republican told the
belligerent Democrats. III you are
going through with this plan to keep
all Mr.. Taft's appointees from getting
the offices they have been given. we
will do the same thing when President
Wilson begins to make appointments"

I MAKES PRETTY TABLE COVER
Monks Cloth ApplIqued With Linen
Figures Is One Of the Best Forms
Yet Devised.

The woman who Is interested In
needlework as employment for the
long winter evenings will enjoy max
ing q table cover or scarf OF monks
cloth appliqued with linen figures.
Cut the cloth the size you desire or
q very dark green shade and baste in
q two-inch hem all around for a square
cover-and at each end on a scarf
then cut out fancy figures from nat
ural colored linen, using either flowers
simple in design, leaves like the
clover and oak, hearts, circles or small
triangles.
Baste these on the cloth Just above
the hem and sew them fast by button
holing around with rope floss In q
burnt-orange shade. One clever girl
made a table scarf, cushion cover and
window curtain to correspond for her

pliqued with figures representing
books, dumbbells, Indian clubs and va
rious things associated with college
life.
One advantage of the work is that II

WHY CHINESE JUNK HAS EYE
Cantonese Legend Explains Origin Of

Of Anglo-saxon Humor.

Few people know why Chinese junks
have ar eye painted on the port side
of the bow. A Cantonese legend ex'
plains the origin Of that singular Gus
tom in a way that is suggestive Of An
glo-Saxon humor.
A Chinese mandarin who lived cen
turtles before the Christian era, finding
himself in need OF navy. sent for
tho royal boat builder and ordered
him to build a certain number OF
ships. So the builder drew up plans
and presented them to the mandarin.
But the plans evidently did not suit
his majesty, for he few into a violent
rage and ordered the boat builder
from his presence.
"Then how shall build them. your
celestial highness? he pleaded.
Whereupon the mandarin drew OF
one Of his slippers and threw II ai
the boat builder. who fed from ths
room. At the door he turned for q mo
ment. Just in time to catch the man

JEALOUSY TO BE OVERCOME
Unpleasant Temperament That 10 Ger
tain In the End.to Destroy Friend
ship and Love.

Jealousy spoils pleasures and de-
stroys friendships, therefore 1t Is most
necessary to overcome jealous tenn
permanent. One frequently hears how
to overcome sensitiveness, but how to
fight against jealousy is seldom told
US.
It can manifest itself in numerous
ugly ways and it is not an easy thing
to fight. Who has not felt its painful
prodding? But one must remember
that neither friendship nor love can
stand jealousy's eternal friction, so the
sooner one eliminates it from ones
character the more certain one is OF
keeping both love and friendship.
Take what is yours and do not wor'
~ over what is given some one else.
II there is to be any comfort in social
life or in the life of those who must
work, every twinge of jealousy must
lie crushed out. The personal element
must be done away with at all times
and We must all learn to make our
selves as efficient as possible in oul
various walks in life. To live for and
think of others is always q hep; and
added to this we must forget ourselves
except in our efforts to improve oul
minds and our lives.

EXCITING GAMES ON THE ICE
Sled Merry oo.Round Will Afford
Much Amusement for the Boys
Mot Hard to make.

One OF the most exciting OF winter
sports is the sled merry-go-round. It
is built very much like an ordinary
boys whirligig, only 1t is placed on
the ice. And for genuine fun It can
not be eQualed.
Any boy can make a sled merry'go-
round. All the material necessary Is
q stout post, long enough to reach
through the ice and find a secure rest
ing place in the mud or sand in the
bottom OF the pond. 1t should reach
about three feet above the surface
When 1t is put in place hole may be
cut in the ice Just large enough to ad'
nht II. and a heavy mallet will drive
1t into place in the bottom OF the
bond. If it is left over night the wa
ter will freeze close around 1t and hold
II solid. In the top OF the post a
large. round bolt or spike should be
