NIGHT SESSIONS FOR TRIAL
Senators Impatient Over Time
Taken Up by Archibald
Hearing.

The Impeachment trial of Judge Robert
w. Archibald of the Commerce Court be-
fore the Senate faced the prospect of
night sessions in the near future. Mem
bers of the Senate are impatient over the
time taken for examination of witnesses,
but they realize that full consideration
must be given to the plans of both sides
for the presentation Of the case.
Witnesses for the prosecution. repre-
sented by the managers for the House OF
Representatives, were to testify today al
the resumption Of the trial. The greater
part of the evidence thus far presented
has been a repetition of that produced
before the House judiciary committee
early last summer. upon which the arti-
cles Of impeachment of Judge Archibald
were based.
The testimony in the present stage be-
fore the Senate centers about the deals
for the Katydid culm dump, in which il
is alleged Judge Archibald used judicial
influence with officials of the Erie rail-
road to secure an option for himself and
E. j. Williams of Scranton on refuse coal
dumps controlled by Erie subsidiary COM
panies.
When the trial was resumed at I: 80
O'Clock the special Impeachment oath was
administered to Senator Chiffon of West
Virginia, the last senator to be sworn
in as a member of the court of impeach-
ment.
Representative Clayton. chairman of
the House managers, asked for an at
tachment for John Henry Jones Of Scran-
ton, one of the important witnesses In
the case. who had not appeared in re-
Spouse to the subpoena of the Senate.
George F. Snyder of Washington, clerk
of the United States Commerce Court
was the first witness put on the stand
by the House managers.

HUNT THEATER FIRE TRAPS.
New York Prevention Bureau t.
Take Action Against Projectors.

NEW YORK. December 9.-The New
York fire department is planning a Wig
orous crusade this month against thea
tiers and moving picture houses which
violate the fire prevention ordinances.
Last night Chief Guerin of the fire pre-
vention bureau and his forty lieutenants
visited eighty theaters and noted the con-
ditions. When their reports were turned
in early today Commissioner Johnson an
nounced that the findings would be made
the basis of civil and criminal action
against the proprietors of a number of
houses. Twelve serious violations were
reported.
The criminal procedure will be the first
for this class Of violations ever pushed
by a fire commissioner. The criminal
code says that any one responsible for a
public nuisance which makes the lives
Of any considerable number Of persons
insecure Is guilty of q misdemeanor. and
it will be under this act that the fire de-
partment will prosecute.

Both were refused admission to clearing

| banks were to be admitted to clearing
house privileges without submitting to
| the rules Of the clearing house:
If they were thus admitted, ne salu,
they might proceed by unconservative
methods to cut rates of exchange"
The witness and Mr.. Untermyer in
dulged in an involved discussion Of the
ethics of clearing house control of the
policy of the various banks composing it.
Would you favor government regula-
ton of clearing houses?" asked Mr. en-
termyer ~,
mo" answered Mr.. Newcomer. Il
don't think that the government has any
business interfering with private asso-
Citations of men formed for their own
business. The clearing houses are re-
markably well handled institutions and
government regulation would only ham

Mr. Newcomer was opposed to any
government restriction on the power Of
a clearing house to close the doors of a
bank In times OF stress.
When Mr.. Newcomer concluded, the
committee took recess for lunch.
