JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
TO IMPEACH ARCHIBALD
Resolution Will Be Placed Be-
fore the House at An
Early Date

WASHINGTON. d. c., June I'm
parchment proceedings against Judge
X. w. Archibald, of the commerce court,
are expected to be started by the judi
ciary committee. A resolution favored
by a majority of the committee will in
all probability be placed before the house.
Whether the house will pass it remains
to be seen.
me evidence adduced Before the COM
mittee shows among other things that
Judge Archibald was mixed up in the
buying and selling of coal properties
from railroads who were Iitigants before
his court; that he sought to sell to the
Delaware and Lackawanna road for a
price much higher than anyone else
would be expected to pay, a coal prop
erty on which he had secured an option;
that ne obtained from the Erie railroad
an option of culm dump--the Erie being
also litigant before the commerce
court; that he was in negotiations with
the Lehigh Valley railroad people and
had obtained an agreement from them
oy which he hoped to obtain control of
valuable coal property owned by the
Girard estate Of Philadelphia, the Lehigh
Valley being also litigant before his
court
In these cases, according to the evil
dence. the judge appeared to be using
his influence as judge to forward finan-
cial deals to his personal profit Through
out the hearings attorneys for the rail-
roads made obvious efforts to shield
and protect Judge Archibald. So did
high officials Of the same railroads. They
went far out of their way in efforts to
discredit witnesses who swore to the
above facts.
In another instance Judge Archibald
was shown to have been in private COM
munication with the Louisvil e and Nash
vile railroads. litigant-after the hear
ing of their case had closed and to have
secured from them private memoranda
on which decision subsequently render
ed was obviously based. In another in
stance Judge Archibald accepted $500 on
account of one of the culm deal trans
actions and permitted note bearing his
Endorsement to be offered for discount
to the officials of roads which were
interested in litigation before his court.
He went personally to the officers of
the railroads seeking favors.
The committee has been officially in
formed also as to the connection of Judge
Archibald with the final disposition Of the
wire-pool cases In which the United
States government saw it's prosecutions
practically come to nothing on account
Of Judge Archbald's acceptance of the
famous nolo contendere plea and his inn
position of nominal fines on the guilty
parties.

BRIDE IS TOTED HOME
ON BEST MANS BACK
Interesting Wedding Customs
of Central Africa Described
by EnglShman

LONDON. June S.-Some interesting
facts concerning marriage in Central
Africa are given by Mr.. A. L. Kitching
groom, on his wedding morning, sits in
his house, which has been swept and
spread with fresh grass, wrapped in a
new barkcloth, his head having been
freshly shaved. The friends whom he
has invited to the wedding go mean.
while to the home OF the bride as il
to make an informal call, and are en-
tertained with beer and coffee berries
After a time the brides girl friends
take down from the roof of the house
all the things which have been given tC
her, to carry to her new home-heI
barkcloth, knife, and many other little
personal articles she may have. The
young men next prefer the request OF
the father that they may be allowed
to take the girl away, and he accord
ingly hands her over to their care.
The bride is carried on the backs
of these best men" to her new home
where she is met by the lady guests
and received itno the house. All this
time she must remain with her face
bent down, and it is correct to look as
breakfast consists of button mushrooms
and other delicacies, after partaKing OF
which she retires to the back part OF
the house in company with an aunt
1t is most important that she should
retire before a hyena or jackal Is
heard to howl. The bride having de-
parted, refreshments are served to the
other guests, and beer-drinking and
smoking are continued till morning
dawns. 1t appears that in most parts
of Africa the native bridegroom has to
pay the father of the bride in kind
for his wife.
In the case of a regular marriage the
amount due to the father varies in &C
cordance with the sex of the first child
born, a girl being of less value than
boy The payments consist of cat
tie, sheep, hoes, spears perhaps, and
sometimes other useful articles. The
final payments are often not eomplet-
ed until years after the marriage takes
place, and the bridegroom is considered
fair prey by all the brides relations.
This results in endless disputes; pay
ments made are often repudiated by
the recipient; the amount agreed upon
is constantly a matter for argument,
and argument ends in fighting, raids on
one another, and sometimes long
drawn-Out feud.
