TAFT REPLIES TO CHARGE

Statement Issued Defending Presi-
dents Nomination in Chicago.
Washington, July 30.-A statement
vention was made public on Monday
at the White House. 1t reviews
every contest before the Republic
an national committee and the
credentials committee of the con-
vention and asserts that each
contest was settled logically, upon its
merits. The statement was submitted
to the cabinet at a recent meeting and
received the approval of the presi-
dents official family.
1t is the longest and probably the
most emphatic political statement
ever put out from the executive man
sion and is intended by its very thor
oughness and care to damn the argu-
ments of the third party men and
spike the guns Of the Democrats who
may seek to make campaign matter
out of the former presidents charges.

ARCHIBALD IN SENATE
DENIES ALL CHARGES
Accused Commerce Court Judge En-
tiers Formal Plea Before Tribunal
In impeachment Proceedings.

Washington July 31.--Robert w.
Archibald, judge of the commerce
court, presented to the senate, sitting
as court of impeachment, his for
NAL answer to the charges made
against him by the house of represent.
atives on Monday.
Judge Archbald's answer was sub
mitted In the presence of almost the
entire senate and of the house man
ayers. He was present, looking calm
and unconcerned.
He formally denied that he ever
had used his office or his influence as
Judge for profit. that he ever under
took, for a consideration, to compro-
mise litigation before the interstate
commerce commission, that he ever
wrongfully used his position to obtain
credit from litigants before him, or
that he had, undertaken to carry on
general business for profit or specuia-
ton in coal properties, as charged In
the house Indictment
To each of the thirteen articles OF
impeachment Judge Archibald replied
that none, even If true, constituted an
Improbable offense, a high crime or
a misdemeanor as defined by the con-
stitution
The Judge admits being involved In
numerous coal deals while on the
bench. He admits soliciting high rail
road officials to further such deals. He
admits that promissory notes bearing
his Endorsement were presented to at
torneys and litigants In his court. He
comedies he wrote letters to and
visited railroad officials to further pri-
vate business negotiations for him
self, associates and friends.
But Judge Archibald says every
such act was innocent and many were
without hope of private gain.
After hearing the Judges answer
the senate adjourned as an impeach-
ment court until Thursday, when a
date for trial will be set.

sumers and Decrease Revenue
$500, oooEReciprocity Re-
peal Is Defeated.

Washington, July 30.-The senate,
by vote of 81 to passed the Repub-
lican sugar tariff bill on Saturday, the
only real Republican revision measure
that has been adopted at the present
session of congress.
DESERVING their allies Of the last two
days, the Republican progressiyes. by
an ironclad agreement with the regu-
lars. succeeded in passing tariff re-
duction bill which they believe Presi-
dent Taft will sign if it reaches him.
The sugar bill was compromise
between the Lodge plan, Endorsed by
the regular Republicans and the Bris-
tow bill, behind which the progress
sives lined up. 1t would cut the pres
ent sugar duty to $3.50 to $3.50:
would abolish the Dutch standard. I'M
der which practically no refined sugar
!, can be imported; and would abolish
the 71a cent 'refiners differential,' an
additional duty on refined sugar.
which, 1t is claimed, has accrued d.
rectly to the profit of the sugar re-
fners.
reduction, If 1t becomes effective, will
reduce government customs receipts
about $5,500,000, while its savings in
the retail sugar bill Of the nation is
estimated at $20,000,000.
An attempt to attach the Canadian
reciprocity repeal amendment to the
bill, made by Senator McCumber, was
defeated 81 to "a. This vote showed
the purpose Of the Republicans to pre-
vent any change in the sugar bill that
might mean its defeat when it goes
back to the house.
Democrats and insurgents united
again in the senate on Friday and
by vote Of So to IS passed
the Democratic excise tax bill, ex-
tending the present tax on corpora
tons to the business of individuals,
private firms and co-partnerships.
Attached to the measure, also by the
aid of Republican votes, were amend
ments for the repeal Of the Canadian
| reciprocity law and the fixing of 81
per ton tariff on print paper, and for
the establishment of permanent non
partisan tariff commission.
The bill as passed by the senate
.levies an annual tax equal to one per
cent. of net incomes in excess of S.
900 upon all persons, firms or co-part-
nerships. AS amended it will now go
