Woodruff Says Kings Will Stand

Sheriff Charles T.. Law OF Kings County
announced yesterday that he was in favor
of the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt.
AS the Sheriff is not delegate to the ma
tional convention, nor even an Assembly
district leader. his attitude is not expected
to have much weight with the Republican
delegation The only one OF the sixteen
delegates known to he a Roosevelt man is
Controller William A. Prendergast.
After his election he deserted his district
leader Elections Commissioner Jacob \.
Livingston. and gave the patronage OF his
office largely into the hands Of Naval Of
ficer L. J. II. Kracke and Congressman
William NJ. Calder. The return Of Timothy
L, Woodruff to power. largely through the
efforts of Mr.. Livingston and the subse-
ouent defeat OF the Kracke-Calder faction
AT the spring primaries. has placed Mr..
Law in an uncomfortable position.

SEE POLITICS IN CHARGES
Complaints Against Commerce Court
Justice Pushed by Taft Opponents
tFrom The Tribune RureauI

from The Tribun" Bureau
Washington, April 23.-Newspsper charges
against Robert W. Archibald, associate JUS
tice of the Commerce Court were brought
TO the attention Of tho House to-day by
Mr. Norris. Nebraska insursent. who
introduced a resolution calling on the Prcsi-
dent for all information bearing on the
case which may be in the Department OF
Justice.
Tho charges are said to relate to certain
business transactions which Judge Arch
bald is alleged TO have had with the Erie
Railroad regarding the purchase Of culm
banks. No statement was forthcoming
from the Department of Justice to confirm
the report that the charges were being
investigated. or that there was any basis
for them. In view of the fact that they
are being pushed by persons known 10 be
hostile to President Taft, there is a gem
oral disposition 10 regard the report and the
Norris resolution as a political manGuvre
TO discredit the court and possibly lay the
groundwork for an impeachment proceed
ing In an attempt 20 Justify the political
doctrine for the recall OF judges.
The resolution was referred to the Com
mittee on Judiciary and will probably be
reported. as the Democrats would welcome
anything which would make political cap
ital for them.

The tatement by the Roosevelt conf

connected with the Roosevelt campaign
TO make diCker must he a falSehood,
because there is no ono who could speak

are controlled by no one, but, so far as

President Taft.
This is a fact known TO all we'll IN
