Papers in Archibald Case Sent
to Committee.
NOT GIVEN TO THE HOUSE
President Turns Down Request From
Lower Branch of Congress, but Per.
mits Their Submission to the Judic-
larry Committee of That Body.

iafy committee OF mat Body.
Washington, May 6.--President Taft
has sent a message to the house in re-
sponse TO the Norris resolution asking
for the papers in the case of Judge
Robert W. Archibald of the commerce
court, charged with having used his
Office to procure favors from railroads.
Mr.. Taft said 1t was not compatible
with the public interest to make all
the papers public at this time, but that
they had been sent to the judiciary
committee of the house for such fur
ther investigation as it might desire to
make. 1t will rest with this commit
tee whether impeachment proceedings
shall be begun.
Attorney General Wickersham sent
to the house judiciary committee the
result of his investigation of charges
that Judge Archibald had used his Of
flee to secure favors from railroads.
The attorney general, 1t is under
stood, recommends further investiga-
tion at the hands of the committee as
to whether or not impeachment pro-
ceedings shall be begun.
Charge Against Jurist.
One of the specific allegations made
against the Judge, IL is said. is that he
was interested In the proposed pur-
chase of some culm banks owned by
coal company controlled by the Erie
railroad
Ii is asserted that these piles of
refuse coal were to be bought for a
comparatively small amount and sold
at profit of $4,000 to $4,000, OF
which, 1t is charged, Judge Archibald
would receive one-third as his share
The charges, Ii is said, were pre-
ferred In connection with an inter-
state commerce case by William Bo-
land of Scranton, Pa.
Because of the seriousness OF their
nature, involving Judge Archbald's re-
latiohs with railroads upon the opera
tions of which ii is his official duty as
q member of the commerce court to
pass legal judgment, the house COM
mittee requested the attorney general
to investigate them.

cusslon, during which II was decided to
have each representative Of the confer
ence select a man from his university &c
serve on a technical committee on the
rules Of the gridlron game. Report on
the rules will be made at the next meet
| ing OF the conference In June.
Summer base ball received a severe set
back today. The compromise offered Al

feated. which means that no college ath'
lete will be permitted to play with semi
