After Full Probe
The Last Federal Impeachment
Case Was in 1904

Washington, d. c., Dec. 3.-For the
ninth time. in history the senate con-
vened today at high court of Inn
parchment to try Judge Robert Arch
bold Of the commerce court, on thir-
teen separate charges, alleged to con-
stitute "high crimes and misdemean-
ors.'' The Judges counsel have ad-
alleged, but denied they were i'm
proper
Archbold and his attorneys entered
the chamber promptly. The COURT set
the hour of meeting daily at o'clock,
then recessed until 2, after five min
ute's session.
The trial of Judge Robert w. .Arcn-
bold of the United States commerce
court for conduct amounting to a vlo-
,lation of his oath as federal judge
had been set to open today befors the
senate court of impeachment as q re-
suit of Judge Arehbold's request last
August that his attorneys be given

of subpoenaes were Issued for wit
nesses who will be brought before the
senate by the house managers and by
Judge Archbold's attorneys In connec-
tion with the trial.
After the house committee on judi
diary had concluded its hearings last
spring it recommended that Judge
Archbold be called befor the senate
under Impeachment proceedings. The
last time the house had used its im-
parchment powers was in 1904, when
Judge Swane, United States Judge for
northern district of Florida, was called
to account for misconduct and was
acquitted by the senate. The house OF
representatives on July IL, 1912,
adopted articles of impeachment by a
vote of 222 to ], and a committee
headed by Representative Clayton of
Alabama was chosen to act as the
managers to act on the part of the
house TO try the case before the sem
ate. The house managers urged the
senate to grant an immediate trial, but
that body declined to hear the case
before the end OF the last session.
Thirteen separate articles consti-
tute the basis for the Impeachment
trial. These embrace dealings between
Judge Archbold and railroad officials
and others Ia regard to Pennsylvania
coal, or "culm'' dumps and coal lands;
contributions by attorneys and 9th
ers to the Judges vacation trip to
Europe in 1910; reputed secret CORE
spondence by the judge with rail-
road attorney concerning pending
case, and an alleged attempt to have
notes PAYABLE to Judge Archhold dis

The Label Committee.
The members were unanimous on
securing or, adopting a label for all

interview the owners of a new trade

been married two years. A few
months ago | visited my mother
and she wanted me to get a di-
vorce. l wrote to my husband
that | intended to get one, and
we signed all agreement, out of

Please advise me as to the proper
course to follow?-M. P. K.
The only proper course from an
ethical standpoint is to achieve
your economical independence,
both of your husband and your
mother. Since you cannot be
happy with either, and are con-
tributing nothing to the happi-
ness of either, you have no moral
right to depend upon them for
support. Doubtless your hus-
band can be compelled to take
care of you if he accepts you as
his wife, but only by legal action.
But do you wish to be supported
by a man who says he does not
love you? Or did you follow him
only for the sake of being sup
ported?
