JUDICIARY COMMITTEE DEMANDS ARCf1BOLD'S IMPEACH1EN

READY FOR FIRST CASE.

Judge Edward Cushman arrived
in Tacoma yesterday and was
sworn in as federal judge by
Judge Hanford at 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon.
The court room was crowded
with attorneys, who welcomed the
former member of the Pierce coun-
ty bar back home and congratu-
lated him on his promotion to the
life job on the bench here.
The first case to be taken up
by Judge Cushman Is whether or
not the Pacific Building & Loan
association is required to pay
$2,932 to Uncle Sam as internal
revenue tax. The association says
it is not due to pay anything and
has asked the court for an in
junction against Millart T. Hart
son, internal revenue collector.
The collector insists it is up for
the $2,932. The dispute has been
to the attorney general, and he is
of the opinion that the company
must pay something, but not near
as much as Harrison has it figured.
So Judge Cushman will settle

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SEATTLE, July S.-That form
er United States Senator Samuel
H. Piles of Washington state, at
tempted to get Attorney John H..
Perry to drop the impeachment
proceedings against Federal
Judge C. H. Hanford, and that
the matter of Perry's arrest fol-
lowing the Dreamland rink pro-
test mass meeting would be Elk
ed" up, was intimated this morn
ing in questions propounded by
Congressman w. l. Mccoy to Sem
.ator Piles, who was called by
Judge Hanford's attorneys as a
character witness to testify that
Judge Hanford never was under
the influence of liquor.
Perry is expected to supplement
the sensational charge made by
Representative Mccoy of the
probe committee that sinister in
fluences have been at work in a
deliberate and systematic attempt
to suppress evidence against
Judge Hanford. Prominent Of
ficials, attorneys and business
men may. be implicated.
Perry's testimony probably will
both wind up the charge on
drunkenness and also open up the
probe on the numerous judicial
decisions by Judge Hartford which
are alleged to show him unfit and
dangerous to remain on the
bench.
Fayortism to corporations in
damage suits especially and exces-
sive receivers fees are the prin-
cipal charges which will come up.
There Is just a possibility that the
investigation will be concluded

ment were presented in the reso-
luton.
"The testimony in the whole
case" the report says, tends to
support the general specifica-
tion of misbehavior. Judge Arch
bald was appointed a United
States district Judge for the mid
die district of Pennsylvania
March 8, 1901, and held that Of
flee until January 81, 1911, when
he was appointed an additional
United States circuit Judge and
designated one of the judges of
the United States commerce court.
1.-THE conduct of this Judge"
report states N conclusion, '.is ex-
ceedingly reprehensible and in
marked contrast with the high
sense of judicial ethics and pro-
bity that generally characterizes
the federal judiciary. The public
respect for the judicial branch of
our government has almost
amounted to reverence.
Judge Should BE PersOnification
of Integrity.
"a judge should be the personi-
fication of integrity, honor and
luprightness in his daily work and
conversation. He should hold his
exalted office and the administra-
ton of justice above the sordid
desire to accumulate wealth by
trading and trafficking with ac-
tual or probable litigants in his
court. 80
your committee is of the opin-
| ion that Judge Archbald's sense
of moral responsibility has be-
come deadened. He has prosti-
tuted his high office for personal
profit. He has attempted by yari-
ous transactions to commercialize
his potentiality as judge.
ITO accomplish this purpose he
has not hesitated to use his Off
cial power and influence. He has
degraded his high office and has
destroyed the confidence of the
public in his judicial capacity.
HE has violated the condition
upon which he holds his commits
sion and should be, removed from
office by impeachment"
