Chairman whittet, of the adminis-
trstive board, has called a meeting OF
that body for this afternoon at 4

ton Mccarthy, In the Capitol build
ing.
Matters of importance to the board

of officers In the various departments.
which will have to be done later.
they will consider the qualifications
OF candidates. and later determine
upon the names Of those they expect
to confirm.
1t is likely that the question of
building inspector and superintendent
of the electrical plant may come up
for discussion.
1t is known that the board is not a
unit In either case.
The question of the eligibility Of Mr..
Dunford. recently chosen as clerk OF
the board, will also be considered. 1T
is stated that Mr.. Dunford lives in
Barton Heights. but he himself de-
clares that he has rooms in Richmond
and Ia a qualified voter here.
This fact may settle the matter.
The same question was raised con-
corning Captain Mccarthy, but he
proved that he was a resident of the
city.
In the building inspectors contro-
yersy, II is said that the fact that Mr..
Beck named a man two months ago
to fill his own place may excite dis
cussion.
Some of the board. 1t is said, do
not approve of the action taken ny
MIR. Beck. and may resent 1t when tho
time comes.

It was shown in Police court yes
terday morning that William Poindex-
ter. chauffeur for James b. McComb.
was not responsible for the running
Eown OF Mr.. John S. Elicit some
weeks ago at Eleventh and Main
streets.
Mr.. Elicit, himself, declared that
he did not wish to prosecute the man,
and from his manner believed that
the incident was an accident.
II was shown by Witnesses that
the automobile was going at slow
pace, because OF the congestion cf
traffic at that point. and that MIR.
Elicit had attempted to cross the
street He had trouble in getting over
and after having passed the auto, he
backed In order to avoid an on-com-
ing street car, when the auto struck
him.
This view OF the affair was taken
by Justice Crutehfeld, and the case
was dismissed, much to the pleasure
Of MIR. Elicit.

Impeaching a Judge

Nobody has charged that Robert
Nobody has imagined that 1t was ever
within his power to do great and ir-
reparable injury. AS Circuit Court
judge he might, at most, have sought
to hand the railroads a million dollars
now and then, subject to reversal
by the Supreme Court. AS one of the
five judges of the Commerce Court
he might have cast his vote in ia
vor of permitting the roads to IN
crease freight rates. say one or two
per cent-also subject to review by
the Supreme Court. Considering that
about a hundred and fifty billion dol
lars. the utmost he could have done
by the greatest possible misuse of his
powers would have amounted only to
petty larceny. The first and most i'm
portant allegation against him is that
he tried to buy culm bank from the
Erie Railroad and if he had succeed
ed would have made profit of eleven
thousand dollars. That gives the
measure of the whole charge against
him-petty favors to be compensated
by petty favors.
Yet to bring this alleged CRATER to
trial we must employ the tremendous
machinery of impeachment, designed
to deal with the deepest villianies
against the state-with a Benedict
Arnold who stabs at the nation s
heart, or a new Charles I whose plots
involve destruction of liberty. This
is absurde. 1t is like being obliged
to mobilize the North Atlantic fleet in
order to run down smugglers dOry.
If Archibald is guilty of the charg
es brought against him he is, undoubt-
eddy, unworthy to be a judge or to
hold any other public trust He should
be dismissed as matter of course,
for the same reason that a prudent
bank president dismisses a teller who
is proved to be a confirmed gambler
and without much more fuss.
