The state Of Illinois dishonored her
self and not him at whom the blow was
struck" Mr.. Thornton declared.
Attacked by Senator Lea.
Senator Luke Lea. Of Tennessee, fol-
lowed, with a vigorous attack on the
validity Of Mr.. Lorimer's claim to his
seat. He declared the plea that the case
having once been disposed of by the
Senate could not be reopened, was
wholly inconsistent.
An election case is never finally de-
cided until It is decided right" he said.
Senator Lea reviewed the testimony Of
Edward Hines, the lumberman, in favor
of Lorimer. and that Of Clarence Funk,
general manager of the International
Harvester Company, against him, and
discussed the veracity Of the two men.
Mr.. Lea charged the majority Of the
investigating committee with refusing
TO give credence to witnesses opposed TO
Lorimer. and said the majority had dis
credited the laws for punishment of
bribery.
If both the briber and the bride taker
would confess" he said. both would be
disbelieved and the story doubly discred-
tied"
The Tennessee Senator attacked the con-
tention that Chicago newspapers had
prosecuted Lorimer. He said;

Edward Hines and Lee ONeil Browne
received much attention at the hands of
Senator Reed. who followed. Hines was
denounced as an "egotistical brbe-
monger." and was charged with attempt
ing to influence tariff legislation and
with directing the election Of Mr..

Root listened attentivcly but made no
reply.
Reference also was made to Mr.. Kohl

himself was declaring he would destroy

In answering his critics in the Senate

HOUSE NEARLY UNIT
AGAINST ARCHIBALD
Only One Vote Cast in Opposition
to Impeachment of Com
merCe Court Judge.
222 AGREE TO RESOLUTION
Managers Named to Present the
Case to the Senate, Which
Will Be Urged to Act
at Once.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, July 11.-By the overwhelm-
ing vote Of 222 10 1 the House to-day adopt
ed the resolution unanimously reported from
its judiciary Committee to impeach Judge
Robert W. Archibald, Of the Commerce
Court who is charged with having taken
part In questionable business negotiations
with railroad and coal companies and with
litigants before his court.
Only John r. Farr, Of the Scranton dis
trict, voted against the resolution Of inn
parchment. Judge Archibald is a constituent
OF Mr.. Farr, and in a speech the Pennsyl-
vania member paid high tribute to the char
acter and honesty Of the accused jurist
Only nine members voted present"
There were ex-Speaker Cannon, Burgess Of
Texas; Dalzell and Olmsted, OF Pennsyl-
vana Dwight. of New York; johnson. Of
South Carolina; Parran, Of Maryland;
Rucker. Of Missouri, and Sparkman OF
Florida
Mr. Farr acknowledged that Judge Arch
bald had been unfortunate in his associ-
ates' so far as the business deals in ques-
ton were concerned, but pleaded that the
judges business activities had grown out OF
the desire to help his friends and the
kindness Of his heart"
House Managers Named
Following the adoption of the resolution
the House voted that the following man
ayers should present the impeachment TO
the Senate:
Chairman Clayton and Representatives
Webb, FLOYD, Davis. Sterling, Rowland and
Norris. all Of the Judiciary Committee The
House manager will Insist that the Senate
proceed without delay TO the trial of the
case.
An unusual air Of sOlemnity pervaded the
House as the debate proceeded on the i'm
parchment resolution. Members realized
that an unprecedented spectacle was being
staged. In the Senate a member Of that
body was fighting for his seat and facing
probable expulsion. Many members Of the
House were banked around the walls Of the
Senate chamber as Senator Lorimer defend
"a himself. and Immediately on leaving
that body they returned to the House,
whore they voted to impeach A federal
Judge.
Except for the speech OF Mr.. Farr. who
vigorously defended his lifelong friend and
ueighbor. the debate on the Archibald i'm
parchment was of rather an academic char
acter Representatives Clayton, Webb,
Sterling and Rowland reviewed the evidence
given before the judiciary committee and
analysed the yoluminous report presented
to the House. going into detail in eXpland-
tiou Of the thirteen counts on which the
committee asserted that Judge Archibald
was deserving Of impeachment Mr.. How
land said.
Every friend Of Judge Archibald should
vot. FOR this resolution. They should do
this lu order that this Judge should have
a fun and free trial before the bar Of the
Senate. IL hos ueen said that the hearings
t.fore the House committee were I'm the
nature ~ eX-parte proceedings. II Judge
Archibald can prove his innocence, and |
hope he can. no Duc Will be more glad than
myself
