tor, who was the partner Of Judge
Archibald in this transaction. was the
witness. Whether the Impeachment of
Judge Archibald for misuse of his po-
sition is warranted will be teremined
by the committee and reported to the
house within fortnight.
Williams story Was practically the
same as that told several weeks ago.
The various stages of the transaction
were illustrated by photographs of the
original documents.
Williams said his first business deal
with Judge Archibald was in connec-
ton with an option of 100000 acres of
timber land in Venezuela. Williams
and John Henry Jones let Archibald
into this deal and the judge gave a
note for $500 to Jones to cover a one
third interest
Williams presented that not for dis
count to c. G. Boland. of Scranton, a
brother Of William p Boland, presi-
dent of the Marian Coal Company. The
Marian company was defendant in a
suit before Judge Archibald. Boland
refused to discount the note. Later
the Marian company lost its case in
court.
Did you tell Boland that it might
have been different if he had dis
counted Archbald's note" asked
Chairman Clayton.
Yes. probably" replied Williams,
but I didn't get that from the judge.
Ihat was my own idea"

planned to Committee by Mrs. Crane.
Washington. May 9.-Just how the
regulation of the bureau of animal In
dustry in, the department OF agricul-
true has vitiated the meat inspection
law was told-without frills or favor
to the house committee on expendi-
lures in the agriculture department by
the Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane, OF
Michigan. yesterday.
The witness made no charge against
any packer. She resented the sug-
gestion that she had charged con-
spiracy between the beef trust" and
the department Of agriculture. But she
did insist that she wanted to show
how the regulations of the department
had lowered the requirements Of meat
inspection established by law and the
possibility Of fraud and deception on
the part Of the packers.
Here Is an object lesson" said Mrs
Crane. producing a lard can. embell-
ished with the label of a well-known
packing house.
Attached to the label was the le-
gend: Inspected by the United De-
partment Of Agriculture and passed"
Inside the lard can was the govern
ment seal. Quickly breaking the seal
Mrs. Crane exhibited the lard" IT
proved to be two ponds of brown taffy
done up in tissue paper
When the laughter had subsided
Mrs. Crane passed the candy around
and remarked that her object lessor
showed how easy it would be to pas:
a can Of lard to the consumer with tht
governments guarantee on the label
altho it meant absolutely nothing.
A large audience was present to hear
Mrs. Cranes testimony. DIR. S. e. Ben
nett. inspector in charge OF Chicago
packing houses. whom Mrs. Crane
quoted at several points in her testi-
mony. was there.
Mrs. Crane recounted her experiences
in packing houses In Chicago. Des
Moines. Kansas City and other places
to show that ante -morten examination
OF cattle and hogs was perfunctor,
and that condemned meat was not SC
labeled, altho the law requires that II
be stamped and destroyed.
The witness paid tribute to the
employees OF the meat inspection serv-
ice. The inspectors. she said. she be-
leved honorable and painstnking pub
lie servants. Instead Of criticising then
she criticised the department
People were being deceived. she said
by the descriptions of ante -morten ex-
aminations given the country by So
licitor McCabe and Chief Melvin ant

Crane will continue her testimony to-
day. She will be followed by J. w. Bur

@s london, May 9.-Chief interest in
Yesterdays session of the board Of
trade commission Of inquiry into the
Titanic disaster centered around the
statements made by members of the
crew in reply in the questions Of the
attorneys representing the Seamen's
and otter unions in regard to the
equipment and the manning Of the
hfeboats.
Seaman J. Poingderstre, who was In
charge of boat No. IL which, altho 1t
had capacity for carrying sixty-five
persons. took away only forty women
ana children and was manned by two
4 sailors. said the officer was afraid to
put more in the boat for fear that the
boat. falls would not stand the strain.
He added that had there been a full
crew the boat would have been able
to save some of those in the water
who were crying for help. AS it was he
tried to row toward them, but was
unable to do so, the boat being too
heavy for two rowers.
Poingderstre also testified that the
shipping companies with which he had
served before he Joined the Titanic had
Giving evidence as to experience be-
fore he left the Titanic, Poingderstre
& said that wood bulkhead separating
the quarters Of the crew from those of
the third class passengers gave way
from the pressure Of water an hour
after the accident. There was a rush
OF second and third class passengers
as the boats were being loaded which
interfered with the lowering. The
lights which have been reported he be-
lieyed to be imaginary.
Steward James Johnstone said that
many OF the women passengers went
back to the saloons, as they did not
realize the danger. He was certain
that he saw lights before he left the
Titanic, but they disappeared soon af-
terwards
Fireman Barrett testified that he was
in the stokehold when the Titanic
struck the iceberg. Water immediate
IL poured in thru No. 6 water tight
compartment and the adjoining empty
coal bunkers This bunker, Barrett ex-
planned, had been emptied on Sun
day, as fire had broken out in
z It soon after the Titanic left South
ampton. This fire, it was found, had
damaged the bulkhead.
Cross-e1amined by Lord Mersey,
Barrett said 1t was not an uncommon
thing for fires to break out in the coal
bunkers.
Barrett said he left the vessel in
lifeboat No. IS. When he reached the
deck all but two of the boats had been
sent on and the third class women
passengers were coming from their
quarters. ~He was overcome by the
cold In the lifeboat and lost conscious
ness.
Lee. q lookout man who was rescued
from the Titanic, repeated much of the
evidence given before the senate COM
mission. He said that when the ves-
sci struck there was no light in sight.
Under croas-examination Lee said
there was no special examination of
the eyesight for lookout men,
