sition to Get Favors
From Railroads.
HAD INTEREST IN CulM
BOUGHT FROM THE RAILROAD
Charged that He Would Have Person
al Interest in Matter that He Had
Thus Secured an Interest in With
Big Profits In Sight.

Washington, May 4. 49, Attorney
General Wickersham today sent to
the house judiciary committee the re-
suit of his investigation of the charges
that Judge Robert Archibald of the
commerce court had used his office to
secure favors from the railroads. The
attorney general, it is understood,
recommends further investigation at
the hands of the committee as to
whether or not Impeachment proceed
ings shall he begun.
One specific allegations against the
judge. 1t is said. is that he is interest
ed in the proposed purchase Of some
culm banks owned by coal company
controlled by the Erie railroad. 1t is
asserted these piles of refuse coal were
bought for comparatively small
amount and sold at a profit of $4,000
to $4,000 of which, it is alleged,
Judge Archbold will receive third as
his share.
The charges. it is stated. were pre-
ferred in connection with the inter-
state commerce case by William Bo-
land of Scranton. Pa, because of the
seriousness of their nature involving
Judge Archbold's relations with the
railroads upon the operations of which
his official duty as member of the
commerce court would have to pass
legal Judgment.
President Taft today sent MESA &c
to the house in response to the Nor
ris resolution asking for the papers
in the case Of Judge Archbold. The
president said it was not compatible
with the public interest to make all
the papers public at this time. but
that they had been sent to the judi
ciary committee of the house for such
further investigation as 1t might de-
sire to make. 1t will rest with the
committee whether or not impeach-
r1ent proceedings shall be begun.

London, May 4.-Jos. Martin. NJ. p.

Il think the reciprocity feeling in
Canada today is stronger than it has
ever been. The government was de-
feated because of its political sins. A
large section of the liberal party was
determined to put the government

though I was strongly in favor of

Since then there has been a pic
turesque illustration Of the advant-
ages of reciprocity as far as western
Canada is concerned. particularly in
Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta.

the wheat crop was very heavy but

been sent to Minneapolis where the
big mills could have used it all right. !"
If Canada had had reciprocity the
American duty would be off wheat
and the Canadian farmers would have
got 20 cents per bushel more for their
wheat. When you put that to the
farmers politics disappear. 1t is ridi-
culous to talk about reciprocity as
being dead for ever. 1t will be a
very live factor next election. There

Sauerbrack was hard mp. Then
Robertson offered to return the hun
dred dollars and take back the mares
which in the meantime had foaled.
Sauerbrack flew into race at the
suggestion and declared that before
he would return the mares he would
shoot them and himself too.
Last Thursday morning Robertson
went over and asked for the horses or
the money. Sauerbrack's temper
then got the better of him. and as
soon as Robertson was gone he went
to the stable and with his old Ger

He then went into the house and

her strength. and called them to
