TRAP SET FOR HIM.
How Charges Against Judge Archibald
Originated Is Told.

Washington, May 13.-A purported de-
Iiberate plan of w. P. BOland to entrap
Judge Robert w. Archibald, of the COM
merce court, in an embarrassing trans
action, was revealed today before the
house judiciary committee which is in
vestigating charges brought by Boland
to determine whether Impeachment pro-
ceedings against the jurist shall be in
stituted by the senate. Allan Cockrell,
confidential secretary of the interstate
commerce commission, read to the COM
nittee his memorandum of W. p Boil
and's original statement of the charges
against Judge Archibald. Boland, ac-
cording to the memorandum told In
terstate Commerce Commissioner Mey-
ers that he purposely sought to entrap
Judge Archibald in the Katydid Culm
bank transaction, after a demurrer in
a suit against his coal company had
been decided against him in Judge
Archbald's court.
Boland declared that he sent E. j.
Williams to Archibald to lure him into
the Katydid Culm option deal with the
Erie railroad after Williams had come
to him with Judge Archbald's $500 note
for discount. BoIand refused to discount
the note and subsequently his demurrer
was decided against him. In making
the charges Boland admitted accord
ing to Cockrell. that he had used Will
liams in an effort to involve the judge
in a diScreditable transaction.

SALARY IS ENOUGH.
Memorials Declare NJ. f. Bishops
Should Not Charge Fees.

Minneapolis, May 1S.-That bishops
of the Methodist Episcopal church who
charge for special sermons and lee
lures when they receive each year a
salary of IS, 600 and travelling expenses
may receive 'slap" from the general
conference before the session closes
here. is indicated by several memorials
on che subject which have been pre-
scented to the committee on episco-
pacy. 1t is claimed by those behind
the memorials that the salary of the
bishops is sufficient and that in many
cases the price for the lectures or SER
mons is so exorbitant that the poorer
churches which need a bishops. pres
ence most, are unable to pay for it.
1t is rumored that the episcopacy
committee, as a sort of compromise
between the two factions, will recon-
mend the retirement of two bishops
at the present session.
Copenhagen, Denmark, may receive,
an episcopal residence according to
talk among the delegates. The episco-
pacy committee is said to have voted
in favor of establishing a residence at
Rome, Italy, and probably one at
Hamburg. Germany. The committee
also is said to have favored the reten-
ton of the episcopal residence at st.
Paul, instead of removing it to Mime
apolis Which is said to have been ia
vored by a subcommittee.

than anyone else out in the short
grass country, this individual Burge
has a few executive titles attached
erstwhile. True, there il nothing in
them but honor and hard work but
Burge has accepted both and proven
himself a booster, a broad minded
man and pretty fair citizen. At pres
ent Mr.. Burge is member of
the board of directors of the Com
mereial club, is just closing a term as
president of the Real Estate Dealers
Association, IS the retiring president
of the Topeka Ad club and has served
on the promotion committee of the
Commercial club purely because of his
desire to see Topeka and Shawnee
county lead in everything she under
takes.
These experiences enumerated here
have undoub tedly given Mr.. Burge the
splendid schooling the senator from a
county like Shawnee county should
have. Burge has declared he will do
all he can to reduce the taxes of the
county and one of the best and surest
ways he thinks is to enact a salary law,
putting every county official on stat
does not claim the authorship of this
salary proposition. 1t is the desire of
the people and has been for several
years Burge thinks it is time to get
busy and do something. He declares
a salary law would save to Shawnee
county $4,000 annually. That's quite
an item of expense eliminated if such
is the case.
Burge contends there are salaries
paid expenses for commissions incur
red in and about the state house which
he for one is in favor of eliminating.
thereby reducing the tax not only of
the county but of the entire state.
No one in the next legislature VIII
do more to boost Topeka and Shawnee
county than n. B. Burge. He wants
to see people come to Topeka, to
Shawnee county, to Kansas to make
their homes As senator from this
county he asserts that he will do all
in his power to make. Kansas a de-
sirablc home, he will stand for legis-
lation which will tend to, better con-
ditions. reduce taxation and attract
the best citizens to the best state in the
Union.
