 Railroads Highly ln-
 discreet

Washington, June 5-Taking every precautton to secure secrecy, behind locked doors today the House Judic- iary committee began it's final debate to determine if impeachment of Judge Robert w. Archibald, of the Commerce Court, shall be recommended. A re- port to the House is not expected un- til next week. Any conclusion the committee may reach is practically certain to be concurred in by the House.
 It was evident that party lines were abolished in the Archibald case. Po- | Ntical considerations, 1t was stoutly maintained by the committee. will
 have no weight in reaching a find inH.
 While. the committee is debating his fate, Judge Archibald, with his two
 sons, is remaining in Washington. merce court.

Frying to Put
 Bribery Up to Gompers

Los Angeles, June 5-Wfen the Daf- row bribery trial was resumed today the defense was expected to fight hard against the introduction into evil dence of a document described as the original sheet of special No. ac- count obtained at bank in Wash ington. The document was present. ed to the count by H. H. Flakher, cashier of the bank, who was put on the stand late yesterday after Bert q. Franklin, star witness for the Statot had been temporarily excused until today.
 In calling F1ather, the State an- nounced that it expected to prove that the money which it alleges Clarence S. Darrow used to bribe jurors dur ing the McNamara trial, last fall, came from the MclNamara defense fund raised by the American Federa- tion of Labor.
 The State argued that it had no fn- tention of duplicating Samuel Com pers or other Federation of Labor 0f- ficials personally on a charge of brib- cry.
 The case is rapidly approaching q climax and a number of sensations are expected before the conclusion or the testimony of Bert Franklin.
 This witness yesterday threw the courtroom into a state of high excite ment when he testified that DarroW once told him the $4,000 with which Darrow is alleged to have bribed jur- ors came direct from Samuel Gompere. Franklin said Darrow made this state ment in explaining how he knew the money had not been marked.

EVANS AND TURNER
TO MEET IN THIRD
MATCH THIS YEAR
Wrestling Tourney Sched-
uled for Gayety Week of
May 27.

Superiority between Joe Turner, the
Washington middleweight, and Walt
Evans. Of Tennessee, will probably be
definitely decided tomorrow night at the
Gayety Theater, at which time Man
ager Peck has agreed TO stage the fray.
These wrestlers have met once before
and each has taken a match.
Wrestling lovers of Washington are
anticipating much sport during the week
of May q. at which time many bouts
will be staged. Arrangements are be-
ing made for a tournament which will
surpass anything of the nature pro-
duced here this season. Americus and
Joe Turner will both be featured.
Gus Pappas, who claimed that Joe
Turner has been evading him for many
months, was no match for the Wash
ingtonian when they met last evening.
Turner, after losing the first fall to the
Greek, won the second and third downs
in fifteen and twenty-siX minutes. 1t is
the opinion that last nights match ~
among the best that has yet been
staged at the Gayety. Both athletes
adopted the cleanest tactics known to
the game, and neither had any protests
to make at the decisions.
