HAVE ENTERED A DEAL WITH
RAILROADS.

| Washington, May 4.-President
Taft, in a message to the house in
response to the Norris resolution ask
ing for the papers in the case OF
Judge Robert W.Archbald of the com
merce court, charged with having
used his office to procure favors
from railroads, said 1t was not COM
patible with the public interest to
make all the papers public at this
time. He said they had been sent
to the judiciary committee OF the
house for such further investigation
as it might desire to make. 1t will
rest with this committee whether OF
not impeachment proceedings shall
be begun.
Attorney General Wickersham sent
to the house judiciary committee the
result Of his Investigation of charges
that Judge Robert W. Archibald OF the
commerce coulrt had used his office
to obtain favors from railroads. The
attorney general, it is understood, re-
commends further investigation at the
handszpf the committee az to zhsshoisf
or not impeachment proceedings shall
be be-.
One of the specific allegations
madekagainst Judge Archibald, it Is
said. IS that he was interested in the
proposed purchase of culm banks
owned by coal company controlled
by the Erie railroad. 1t is asserted
that these piles of refuse coal were
to be bought for comparatively
small sum and sold at profit of $685.
900 to $40,000,of which, it is charged,
Judge Archibald would receive one
third.
The charges, il is said, were pre-
ferred in connection with an inter-
state commerce case by William Boz
land of Scranton, Penn. Because OF
their seriousness, involving Judge
relations with railroads on
whose operations it is his duty as a
member of the commerce court. TO
pass legal judgment, President Taft
instructed General Wickersnam to in
Vestigate and report to the house ju-
iiciary committee.
This committee is charged with the
responsibility of investigating such
matters with view to determining
whether prima facie case justiry-
ng impeachment proceedings is pre-
ented. The house impeaches and the
enate is the trial court for federal
'fficial. The judiciary committee. it
$ believed, viii begin an inquiry at
nee.
The charges were made last Eehra-
ry. The department OF justice has
nade an inquiry. sending represen-
atiye to Pennsyi5ania where the
eals were supposed to have been
lade. Judge Archbald has not vet
cen heard in the matter. but PROB.
bly, will be called early to offer his
xplanations. Judge Archibald is
'om Pennsylvania and was appointed
D the commerce court by President
aft January 81, 1911. He is ciy-
uit judge and mis- tenure 9n the
ommerce court will be four years,
fter which he returns to the third
ireuit.

when he tried to make the storekeepef

considerable difficulty. Gus was about
to give up in despair, but he gave the
storekeeper one more chance, and Civ
ing him the bottle said "smell Of it
and give me quart"
