in His Court.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington, ID. c., May s.
Charges against Judge Robert W.
Archibald, of the commerce court,
were unfolded before the house
judiciary committee which is to de-
termine whether impeachment pro-
cecdings will be brought against
Archibald.
Edward j. Williams testified that
while Archibald was deIiberating on
the ''lighterage cases" Archibald and
himself negotiated for an option
from the Erie Railroad of Al 600
tons of "culm dump" property to be
sold at $4,000 profit.
The Erie Railroad was a party to
the lighterage cases.
In addition Williams testified that
Archibald secured an interest with
him on an option of million acres
of Venezuelan timber land for which
the Judge gave his note for 800.
Williams attempted to discount the
note with G. J. and w. P. Boland of
the Marion Coal company of Ccran-
ton Pa, who at that time had a case
pending before Archibald. Williams
was refused a discount of the note
and later they lost their case.
Williams admitted telling w. p.
Boland that if he had discounted
Archbald's note the case might have
been decided differently, bu; denied
the judge knew anything about his
making such a remark to Boland.

PROPOSED DEALS ISLAND

From The Princess Anne MarylandeT.

From The Princess Anne MarylandeT
By notice IN another column Z
will be observed that application hae
been made to the Public Service Com
m.ssiCl by the, Eastern Shore Power.
Light and Railway Company for per-
mission and authority to issue IT'S
shares Of capital stock to the amount
Of $1,000 900 and also bonds to the
same amount. The petition is set for
hearing on October z II is understood
that the railway company has receiv-
cd the certificate from a reliable CONF
pany, agreeing to guarantee the
bonds and that further procedure
now depends upon the result of the
hearing above mentioned
Ii now begins to look as If the pro-
posed railway we're something more
than mere preliminaries and its pro-
moters are greatly encouraged as to
the realization of their plans. Usually
such projects are looked upon as
mere pipe dreams and the public does
not evince sufficient interest, In the
belief that they are but dreams. The
men who are promoting the present
scheme deserve all the encourage
ment possible from the general pub
lie and especially the people of the
two counties directly interested The
way to make things go is to push
them and if there is no push, nothing
but failure can be expected.
The Importance Of a railway line
from Deals Island 10 some point on
the Sinepuxent Bay, traversing fruit
full and important territory, has been
emphasized in both the city and
county papers The advantages to
accrue are too obvious to be detailed
again at this time What Is needed
now is local interest, push and en-
ergy. An important project like this
should not be permitted to fail and
It certainly now has the appearance
of success.
