Cambria County, Pa, Startled by Com.
missioner's Accusation.

Rumors of grating proposals in
connection with the selection of plans
and architect for the proposed CAM
bria county (Pa) insane asylum came
to a. climax in Ebensburg, when
County Commissioner A. G. Anderson
made public a statement in which he
alleged R, w. Clay, reputed to be an
architect, was a. detective and had
secured the offering of motion that
his plans be adopted by promises of
money consideration to himself and
Commissioner 7. Stanton Davis.
Anderson declares he was aware
that Clay was a detective and on the
advice of his counsel and with a clear
understanding between himself AMI
Clay participated in a meeting at
which he was given 500 in cash. Mr.

IMPEACHMENT
RECOMMENDED
House Adopts Archibald Com
mittee's Report, 222 TO |
REPORT SEVERE ON JURIST
House investigating Committee Asks
impeachment For "Misbehavlor,
High Crime and Misdemeanors.

By a vote of 222 to | the house
adopted the thirteen articles of i'm
peachment for high crimes and misde
meanors against Judge Robert "
Archibald, formerly district Judge OF
the United States court of the middle
district of Pennsylvania and now q
Judge of the United States commerce
court
The house committee report was
severe on Archibald. 1t demanded that
the judge be impeached for "misbe-
havior and high crime and misde-
meanors,' declaring Archbald's sense
OF moral responsibility had become
deadened," and that "he had prosti-
tuted his high Office for personal
profit"
Thirteen articles of Impeachment
were presented in the resolution.
The testimony" says the report.
shows that at different times, when
Judge Archibald was a Judge of the
United States district court, he sought
and obtained credit, and in other in
stances sought to obtain credit from
persons who had litigations pending in
his court The testimony shows that
after Judge Archibald had been pro-
NOTED to the position of United States
circuit Judge and had been designated
as one Of the judges of the commerce
court in connection with different per-
sons he sought to obtain options on
culm dumps and other coal properties
from officers and agents of coal COM
panies which were owned and con-
trolled by railroad companies.
The testimony further shows that
in order to influence the officers of
the coal companies which were sub
sidiary to and owned by the railroad
companies Archibald repeatedly sought
to influence the officials of the rail-
roads to enter into contracts with his
associates for the financial benefit of
himself and his associates. In most |
instances the contracts were executed |
in the name of the person associated |
with the Judge in the particular trans
action or trade, and the judges name
was not disclosed on the file of the
contract.
The testimony shows, however
that he was as matter of fact
Decuniarily interested in such con-
tracts and that while his interest was
not known to the public, it was known

he coal companies and their sub
salaries"
