WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Two hum

Settlement of International Disputes
sat down to talk over international
peace, but before they left the ban

find conditions in this city favorable.
1t is further known that the men
mean business and can be relied on
strictly to maintain their business pol
icies. They selected Mr.. Marsh to
handle their plans on account of his
known ability.
Mr.. Marsh attracted the attention
of capitalists during the past sum-
mer when he successfully handled
one of the largest Industrial enter
prises ever attempted in the power
zone. The reclamation of tract of
land between Warsaw and Hamilton,
consisting of about thousand acres,
and which is to be used for indus

of his energy and ability. The plan
ming of that important industrial city
included the overcoming of numerous
obstacles, blu. the effort Of Mr.. Marsh
was a success and great things are
expected to develop from 1T.

ARCHIBALD is SHOWN TO
HAVE BEEN A PARTNER
Witness Before Senate Says Com
merce Judge Used His Influence
in the Culm Real.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Attorneys for
Judge w. Archibald of the commerce
court, when the senate court OF i'm
peachment reconvened today, were
to attempt to draw from Edward j..
Williams, the first witness, evidence
that a conspiracy had been organized
against Judge Archibald, and that Will
liam p Boland of Scranton, was one
of it's prime movers.
Williams was on the witness stand
when the senate court adjourned last
night. He was the associate OF
Judge Archibald in deal for an op-
ton on the Katydid Culm Bank, and
the house managers had prepared
further questions today, designed to
draw from Williams admissions that
Judge Archibald had brought pressure
to bear on railroad officials to secure
control of the property.
The nature of Judge Archbald's de-
tense to the first article of impeach-
ment has been indicated. The house
managers yesterday secured the in
PRODUCTION of an alleged agreement
between Williams and w. P. Boland,
third interest in the Katydid option
to Boland, and another one third to
a silent party"
He admitted that this latter desig-
nation meant Judge Archibald. Attor-
neys for the judge insisted that the
agreement had been concocted in the
office of nr. Boland, for the pur-
pose of injuring Judge Archibald, and
that the latter knew nothing of it, and
had never consented to be the "si-
lent party" in such a deal.

SPARkMAN AGAINST TAFT PLAN
FOR RIVER BETTERMENT.
Florida Congressman Opposes idea of
the President for General
Improvement.

Washington, Dec. g." Harness the
Mississippi and make the water pow
er development pay for the cost OF
improving the river" was the gist
of the message brought today by
Secretary of War Stimson to the
national rivers and harbors congress.
Secretary Stimson declared that
when the nation assumed responsf-
bility as great as that OF spending
$50,000,000 for improving river, the
general taxpayers Of the country
should get the benefit of the inciden-
tai profits arising.
Representative Sparkman of Flor
ida. chairman of the house commit
tee on rivers and harbors, did not
agree with the assertion OF President
Taft yesterday before the congress,
that the Mississippi should be i'm
proved under the general welfare
clause Of the constitution, for, said
Mr.. Sparkman, it would be sad day
for the country, and he feared 1t
would cad TO a wide system OF log
rolling if appropriations We're made
always on the claim that they We're
for the general welfare. He assert
ed that river improvements should
be made only for the benefit OF COM
merce.
On the program with Senator
Martin were Secretary of War Slim
son. Representative Sparkman OF
Florida, who is taking an active part
in the deliberations; Harod F. Nc
Cormick of Chicago; Mayor f. W..
Donnelly of Trenton, N. j., and Geo.
