AMERICANS HELD PRISONERS BY THE REBELS IN JUAREz Finally Released by Order of OrOZcO's Father-TrOuble
 Over Check COLONEL GARIBALDI
 RESIGNS COMMAND Differs With Federal Over Proper Methods of Holding Sonora--Mor- mons in Terror of Rebels.
 Teams Confiscated

,(uarez, July 9.-Twenty-five Americans, including American Consul Thomas D. Edwards were held in the office of the Mexican Northwestern railroad here to- night for nearly two hours. while an armed guard of rebels prevented them from leaving the building.
 Rebel officials had become angered at the officers of the Mexican northwest ern, on account of the alleged worthless ness of 5000 check, payable to the re- bels as an expert duty on a consignment of gold ore by the American smelting and refining company. in Chihuahua. The shipment had arrived fin Fl Paso, but when the rebels attempted to cash the 5000 check, banks in Fl Paso frefused payment.
 Since the check was. given. the fed erals had entered Chihuahua City and it is believed the Auerican smelting and Refining company immediately stopped payment on it. knowing the rebels, on account of their retreat, would be un- able to give them further trouble.
 Edwards Confers With Officials
 American Consul Edwards went to the Northwestern offices to confer with II. c. Ferris, general manager of the road, Thomas Ryan, traffic manager and c. T. Carson, general auditor. The officials were in conference at five o'clock when they suddenly found the doors of the building surrounded by armed men. In the same building were the offices of Wa ters-Pierce oil company. American em- ployes of that firm were not permitted to leave at the usual hour, six o'clock.
 There were forty persons in the build ing. fifteen being Mexicans,
 American Consul Edwards telephoned for Colonel Pascual Orozco, Sr., head of the garrison, who arrived in few min utes and ordered the guards to release all minor employees. The officers of the road were held. After long confer ence the American consul left. but the railroad officials were closed with Oroz- co for some time. Finally, at o'clock the railroad men also were given their liberty and crossed to the American side. It was stated they had agreed to make the check good
 The Mexican Northwestern railroad is owned by British capital.
 "I was not detained against my wishes" said American Consul Ed wards tonight. I merely went to the Northwestern offices to investigate the trouble over the check. l was in con ference with the railroad officials when we decided to call on Colonel Orozco. The armed guards said they would per- init me to pass but not the railroad of ficials, so we telephoned to Colonel Oroz- co to come and see us.'
 Mr. Edwards said he informed Colonel Orozco that the Northwestern officials were blameless.

ASK SUSPENSION OF JUDGMENT ON
 JUDGE ARCHIBALD
tContinued From Page One.)

 about a settlement or litigation which the Bolands. in various forms, were en- gagged in with the Lackawanna railroad company.
 Tt is not claimed in the report of the committee that there was any direct evil dence tending to prove that for what he did in attempting to bring about this settlement, Judge Archibald was to re- ceive compensation or was to be bene- fitted in any way The committee sim ply assumes it to be incredible that Judge Archibald would irelp a friend to settle a. litigation or help lawyer to earn a fee unless he was paid for it.
 Note Transaction Explained
 Another article of impeachment is based upon the charge that Judge Arch bald agreed and consented that the $500 note above referred to endorsed by him should be presented to the Bolands for discount at a time when they were in torested in litigation in his court. When this note was offered for discount Judge Archibald had no connection with the case of Peale vs. Marian Coal company except in overriding a demurrer which had been filed by that company to the complaint and in appointing an examiner to take the testimony. There is noth- ing in the evidence to justify the infer ence that Judge Archibald authorized the note to be presented to the Boands for discount because they were interested. as stockholders in the Marion Coal com pany. in the case in which that company was defendant.
 Judge Archbalds position was that of an accommodation endorser. The infer ence of the committee that Judge Arch bald received or was to receive the pro- ceeds of this note or any party of such proceeds is not justified by anything in the evidence and is not true in fact
 Tn discussing the charge relative to the correspondence by Judge Archibald with the attorney of the Louisville and Nashville rfailroad company, the com mittee report entirely ignores the fact that the attorneys letter. correcting the testimony of a witness was pasted into tho record Obviously by Judge Arch bald) for all the world to see and the written opinion afterward rendered by Judge Archibald assumes that the testi- mony was correct as 1t originally stood
 New charges appear in the articles of impeachment which were not deve1- oped by the testimony before the com mittee. For example 1t is made ground of impeachment that Judge Archibald took a trip to Europe at the expense of Mir. Henry w. Cannon, who had large corporate connections. The committee says It is claimed that Mir. Cannon is a distant relative of Judge Archbald's s wife.
 The slightest investigation would have shown that in fact Mr. Cannon is Mrs, Archbald's first cousin; and that the occasion and object of the trip was the

determined also to protect their proper ties.
 The occupation of Granados, about 50 miles south of Bavispe by the rebels and Granados, 50 miles further south. in- dicates that the insurrectos already con trol part of Sonora.
 A number of teams and wagons be- longing to the Mormon colonists at Co., lonia Morelos, were conflseated today by federal troops under General Sanjines. Senator Smoot at Washington advised to give up the teams and take receipt from General Sanjines This was done.
 Several of the Mormon fathers escaped from Colonia Morelos, with their teams and are in Agua Prieta. They tried to cross to the United States, but were prevented by federal guards. Sanjines force now number nearly 1000.
 Mexico City, July 9.-General Huerta will be authorized at once to issue proc lamation of amnesty to all rebels of the rank and file who surrendered uncondl- tlonally within three weeks, according to statement made today in government circles.
 The amnesty will not apply to Orozco or his officers. What disposition will be made of them should they make a. plea for clemency will be made a matter for further consideration.

 Hilles Is Drafted
 In the meantime President Taft and his advisers drafted Charles D. Hilles to lead the enthusiastic republican party to de- feat as it's national chairman.
 Drafted is the proper word. No one volunteered. Weatherwse politicians, after reading the political barometer, displayed in the lobby of the Willard all day yesterday, and hearing reports from trusted lieutenants and high priyates from all over the country. decided that this would be a mighty good year to be very modest about party emoluments and all of them politely pushed aside the high distinction of being national chair man with an alacrity and sincerity that made Caesars triple play of refusing the crown look like hungry hobo at pie nio dinner.
 William B. Mckinley and William Barnes, Jr., were discussed and each of them were urged by the committee to be the goat, it is said, but after careful reviews of the situation by these astute politicians, they decided that this was a fine time to break in some new talent  get into fast company. When Mir. Hilles was asked If he had anything to say be- fore sentence was passed upon him, 1t is said he entered a very vigorous protest and insisted that he could be of more service to the President in his present capacity.
 Senate Wants Delay
 It Is said that the republican Senate aided by some pro-Lorimer senators among the democrats are going to pro- long the Lorimer fight and sidestep the Archibald impeachment proceedings dur ing this session. This, it is claimed, will be decidedly in the favor of Archibald and Representative Clayton and his com mittee are very anxious that 1t be taken up at once.
 The Senate, however, is engaged right at this time in playing the game of poli- tics. It remains to be seen how well they play it.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
Office Of Health Offices ih'City Hall
Where Complaints Can be
Lodged

The heated term is now almost at
our door and, as has recently been
suggested by the Gazette, every eff
fort should be made by people of this
city have every thing about their
premises in d Sanitary and clean con-
dition. There are many things which
should appeal to us besides the en-
termination of flies and mosquitoes.
Unsightly Accommodations Of rubbish,
trash, ETC., should be disposed of and
rank growths extirpated. There is
neglect on the part of some to the
latter essential, while others have
welded pick and hoe and uprooted
obnoxious weeds and tall grass which
is SO vigorous at this season.
Dr.. German, Health Officer, IS
temporarily installed in the Mayors
Office in the City Hall, and a young
woman is in attendance daily from
9 a. m. until II M, and from l to 4
~. m, where all information can be
obtained and complaints lodged.
The authorities are determined to
enforce the law against all persons
who may be found guilty Of infrac-
tons of health laws.
An office will soon be furnished for
the Health Department in the north
Western section of City Hall.
The following are the suggestions
Of the Health Department:
Please do not send anonymous COM
munications to this office because we
cannot afford to give our time to
them. Make your complaints over
your signature, as it will not be ne
cessary for this Department to di-
vulge your name.
After complaints have been filed
with the Health Department we i'm
mediately investigate them, and have
them remedicd just as early as it is
possible, under the circumstances.
This Department of our City Gov
eminent has not been oragnlZed in
order to work hardship on anyone,
but to endearor to have all citizens
vic with one another so that we can
have our city just as clean as it is
nossible. so that it will compare fav-
orably with any city of its size.
In a very short while we are going
to inaugurate Fly Crusade and priz-
es will be awarded to the persons kill
ing the greatest number Of the pests.

FOR OVERHEAD CROSSING.
Corporation Commission Invoked TO
Abate Dangerous Crossing
Near Alexandria.

A long disputed question Of the'
crossing on the old telegraph road by
the Washington Southern Railway d
mile beyohd THE city limits of
Alexandria City in Fairfax county
is now before the State Corporation
Commission in Richmond. For sew
eral years the people of Fairfax, as
sisted by the commercial organiza-
tons of Alexandria endeaVored to
come to an agreement with the rail-
way company to change the DANCE
rous conditions at this spot but the
negotiations have never come to
defnate conclusion, although the rail-
way company has expressed its will
lingness to meet the county half way
in a settlement of the controversy
Officials of Fairfax county have now
taken the matter UP again and Wal
ter T. Oliver, delegate in the General
Assembly from Fairfax and Super
visors Williams of Falls Church and
Reid of Mount Vernon districts have
appeared before the State Railway
Commission in Richmond and insti-
tuted proceedings to have the rail-
way company construct an overhead
crossing at the point in question.
Pending these proceedings the COM
mission ordered that Waterman be
stationed at the crossing in the night
time. A Waterman is already en-
ploted during the day. The railway
officials asked that this order be sus-
pended in part for week until they
could make count of the vehicles
and pedestrians passing after mid
night, the contention being that none
used the crossing after that hour.
This is the crossing at which the late
William Sisson was killed and is con-
sidered very dangerous, as the road
crosses seven railroad tracks. The
supervisors want the road to go over
the tracks and the railroad people
want it to 60 under, and this is the
point the Corporation Commission
has been called on to decide.
