PUBLIC HEAR|NGS|N ARCHIBALD INQUIRY Testimony in Open Session of Judiciary Committee
 Begins Today

Washington, May 7.-Public hearings Archibald of the commerce court. upon which may be based Impeachment pro- ceedings, were decided upon today by the House Judiciary committee.
 Testimony in open session will begin to- morrow after the committee has exam ined all the papers forwarded by Attorney General Wickersham by direction of Pres ident Taft.
 Edward J. Williams of Scranton, Pa. will he the first witness. He arrived in Washington today and was sworn.
 Williams, a coal dealer who, it is all legged, negotiated with the Erie railroad for the purchase of Culm bank property, to be sold at large profit, in which transaction Judge Archibald is alleged to have been interested, would not discuss the charges, but denied that he had at- tempted to flee to Europe. Z The judiciary committee late today opened the papers in the case, but did not complete reading them when adjourn ment wa staken until tomorrow. Their specific contents were not made public, but it was learned the charges against Judge Archibald relate mainly to business transactions in which the Erie railroad was a factor.
 Judge Archibald will not be summoned, but if he desires to attend the hearings he will be welcomed by the committee and probably will be allowed to cross examine witnesses.
 If the committee finds the charges sus- taned the usual procedure would be to recommend to the House impeachment proceedings against Judge Archibald.

NO NEW LIGHT SHED ON
 TITANIC DISASTER BY COURl

London, May 7.-Shipwreck experiences consumed the time of the board of trade inquiry into the Titanic disaster today. Only three witnesses were disposed of. No new light was shed on the sinking of the steamer beyond the facts eiiclted by the American senatorial committee.
 The expression was significant because it showed the, governments determna- ticn to discover what steps were taken to 'get off the third class passengers. The main points brought out in the general inquiry were that the ship was going at full speed; that no boat drills had been held that some of the sailors did not know their stations. and that the boats were inadequately manned and directed, and were not provided with lights com passes, water or rations.

A MAJORITY AS WELL AS
PLURALITY

There seems now, according to
statements sent out. no reasonable
doubt of Wilson's election. But no
Democrat should fail tc vote. Wilson
should be elected. not only by a major
ity of the electoral vote but of the
popular vote as we'll. The electoral
vote of Virginia and the South will
certainly go to Wilson, but every
Democrat who fails to vote helps de-
crease the plurality or popular vote.
There should be landslide of the
great popular vote 70: Wilson and
Marshall and Ayers. This would in
sure the reelection of Democrat
four years hence. Let every Democrat
vote and comb the woods for every
other Democrat who is entitled to
vote, and see that the votes for Will
son, Marshall and Ayres
