at impeachment that have been made.
 The question as to whether or not an accused official shall be impeached rests largely y~with the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Repre- sentatives. When one or more Con gressmen move for the impeachment of an official who is charged with hav- ing been derelict in his duty the matter is referred to the Judiciary Committee for investigation. Or again, the mat ter may come up, as it did in the present Archibald case, on the initia- tive of the President of the United States. President Taft. it may be re- membered, had the Attorney General investigate the charges which were lodged with him against Judge Arch bald and when the head of the De- partment of Justice reported that the matter was serious enough to warrant action by the Judiciary Committee of the House the President sent special house of Congress.
 But whatever the exact route taken, such charges come in due course to the Judiciary Committee to be there thoroughly sifted before action is taken on the lines laid down by the Constitution. This committee. which becomes for the time being an investi- gating committee, is given power to send for persons and papers; to sub poena witnesses and to administer oaths. In short it is invested with most of the powers of court of law in order that the probers may get at the truth of the accusations which are rife. Great numbers of witnesses are

newspapers every day, whereas the Senate, under this same comparison, has the dual role of the presiding judge and jury before whom case is tried. Only, in impeachment cases, as above indicated, the august body is not allowed very much latitude as to the sentences that can be imposed.
 Our forefathers were no respectors of persons when it came to planning for impeachment proceedings and they wrote it into the Constitution that not only all civil officers of the United States but even the President and Vice e-President shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery or other high crimes and .misdemeanors. And finally, in order that there may be no loopholes for the escape of the official once convicted under Impeachment charges the Constitution specifically says that the President shall have power to grant reprieves and pardon for offense against the United States except in cases of impeachment"
 From all the foregoing 1t will be seen that an impeachment trial is pret- ty serious business not only for the man who is on trial but also for all those who have hand in conducting it or in bringing it about. That is one reason. probably. why the House of Representatives usually makes haste slowly in adopting articles of inn peachment. Because only eight i'm peachment trials have been held in more than a century of our oountry's B history does not mean that this rep resents by any means all the attempts
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-12-01

usually examined and 1t may be neces- sary, as in the Archibald case, for the Judiciary Committee to devote weeks to hearing the evidence in the case before any conclusion can be arrived at. In the end the Committee makes report to the House either favora ble or adverse to Impeachment and the entire body of Congressman then vote on the question. Impeachment Is accomplished by the passage by the House of a resolution and arti- cles of impeachment, which are forth with presented to the Senate with a demand for tho conviction and re- moval from office of the accused.
 The number and character of the charges against Judge Archibald and the number of witnesses that were ex- amined in the preliminaries of the past summer give promise of a pro longed trial with a vast amount of testimony to be considered. Newspa- per readers will scarcely need to be reminded that the charges against the Pennsylvania jurist embrace no fewer than thirteen misdeeds. He is ac- cused of having had business dealings (affccting coal lands, etc.), with parties having cases before him or likely to have cases on trial before him and of having accepted money from attorneys praeticing In hls court
 The Archibald case will be unique among all the impeachment cases ever tried in this country in that some of the offenses of which he is accused are alleged to have been committed when he was holding a judicial posi- tion other than that which he now
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-12-01

occupies. In other words he Is In part being tried for old offenses. but since he then, as now. was the ocou- pant of U. s. judicial position he is as liable in the one as in the other
 Perhaps the most solemn features of the impeachment will be witnessed on the opening day of the trial. Ger tain members of the House will be designated to act as managers of the Impeachment proceedings before the Senate and upon the arrival of these dignitarles In the Senate Cham Der to exhibit the articles of impeach- ment the Sergeant-at-Arms will form ally demand that all persons keep silence on pain of imprisonment
 At 1 o'clock in the afternoon on the day following the presentation of the l impeachment papers the Senate will proceed to consider the articles and after the trial has thus commenced will continue in session from day to day, Sundays excepted, until final judgment Is rendered. However, be- fore the trial is entered upon it is the duty of the Presiding Officer to ad- minister the oath to each Senator In attendance. The Presiding Officer is vested with considerable authority in the conduct of an impeachment trial. Not only does he have the say as to all forms of proceedings but he may rule on all questions of evidence. Any Senator may, however, appeal from such decision and have the matter submitted to the Senate on a formal vote. The accused official is, of course. expected to be present at the trial or be represented by attorneys. Wit nesses arc supposed to be examined by only two persons, s,--one person on each side in he case and if a Senator wished to put a question to any wit ness he Is required to put the question in writing and transmit it to the Pre- siding Officer. The final argument in the case may be made by two persons on each side, but the spokesmen of the House of Representative are to have the last word. When it comes time for the final decision as to whether or not the Archibald impeachment shall stand each Senator will be called upon to vote yes or no upon each of the 3 articles of Impeachment and n two thirds vote will be required to sustain each article.

The late au- tumn is painting and papering time at the Capitol just as it is in many a private residence. Quite a number of the committee rooms-the rooms where the real work of Congress is done--have been frescoed and re- painted for the coming season.
 Several years ago the powers that be planned transformation in the electric lighting system of the United States Capitol Illuminating facil- tiles that will be at once more effec- tive and more artistic and which in many instances will afford what is known as indirect illumination rather than the glare that is objectionable to SO many people. This new scheme was pushed forward during the recess, the new lighting fixtures of the crys- tai type being installed in nine special rooms.
 The heating and ventilating appa- ratus throughout the Capitol were carefully overhauled this autumn but there was no opportunity during the recess to install the new refrigerating system as there would have been had not Congress hung around Washing ton all last summer This refrigerat- l ing system, it may be explained, is

the managers and the only way in which 1t is possible to attract capable caterers to the positions Is to provide all possible conveniences-hen these latest Improvements.
 The present Improvements include the provision of an additional dining room at the Senate restaurant where as the House of Representatives res- taurant has been completely remodel ed with an increase of space and ac- commodations. A newly installed steam table" at the House restau- rant will keep piping hot the favorite dishes of our epicurean Congressmen and on the Senate side there are some new fixings. put in especially for the benefit of Mrs. Murphy the Senate's famous official "pie baker, who turns out each day not less than fifty pies of the kind that mother used to make. Newly installed in the Con- gressional restaurants also are two .refrigerating machines of 4 tons ca pacity each.
 Another nook which will not be recognized by the Congressman when they reassemble is the House barber shop. Oh yes, indeed, gentle reader, there is a barber shop in'the sacred precincts of the United States Capitol. You see the big building is small city in itself and so it must have not only it's restaurants and post office and telegraph offices and stationery

Each of the impeachment trials in American history has. In turn, been the sensation of the period in which it occurred. The first case was that of William Blount. a Y. s. Senator from Tennessee, who was in the year 179S tried on charge of conspiring with certain British officers to steal part of Louisiana from Spain for the benefit of England. He was acquitted on @ technicality but was expelled from the Senate. Then came Judge John Pickering of New Hampshire. who was tried for drunkenness and profanity during the year 1908 and was convicted and, removed. In the year 1894 Samuel Chase, one of the Associate Justices of the '. s. Su- preme Court, was tried on charges or Irregularities growing out of the con- duct of a trial but was acquitted. An acquittal was also secured by Judge James H. Peek. of Missouri, who in 1880 was ceused of partiality In legal decisions.
 During the Civil War, or in 1862 10 be exact, Judge West II. Humphreys. of Tennessee was impeached and re- moved from office, his offense being that he entered the service of the Con- federacy without resigning or vacating his office. Soon after the Civil War came our most sensational impeach- ment trial, that of President Andrew Johnson, who became Chief Magis- trate by reason of the assa ssination of Abraham Lincoln. The charges against Johnson were largely the out growth of his attempt to remove Ed- win M. Stanton as Secretary of War. regardless of the wishes of the Senate. After a stormy trial Johnson was ac- quilted, but by the narrowest mar gin. An aequittal was likewise se- cured by William w. BellSnap, Secre- tary of War. under President Grant, who was charged with having accept ed money for the privilege of eon- ducting a trading post at U. s. gov ernment military post in the West. The most recent impeachment trial was that of Judge Charles Swayne. of Florida, which took place in 1904 and resulted in an acquittal. Judge Swaync, it may be remembered, was tried on twelve charges (only one less than Judge Arohbald). of cor ruption and incompetency.

planned to cool the fresh air as it is admitted to the Capitol so that our lawmakers will not suffer so severely when they remain In Washington dur ing the summer as they felt obliged to do this year. The Capitol is already provided with an elaborate system for forcing fresh air into tho big build ing by means of powerful fans and there are even facilities for wash ing" this air so that it will be free from impurities. but means of cooling tho precious ozone has heretofore been lacking. To supply this defect Con- gross has appropriated the sum of S70,000. It seems likely that a per feet refrigerating system will cost even more than that but the lawmakers are not going to balk at expense and have instructed the Superintendent of the big building to go ahead and se- cure for them the boon of iced air if it can be had at any reasonable price.
 Decidedly the most important of the changes s,--when it comes to real novelty,--is t freak underground rail- way which has been provided for con veying United States Senators and their friends back and forth between the Capitol and the Senate office Building. located some two blocks away. Ever since the Senate and House office buildings were complet- ed several years ago, they have been connected with the Capitol by cleo tric-lighted tunnels. The Congress- men have walked back and forth through their tube" but the vener- able Senators have been conveyed in unique electric automobiles specially built for this subterranean speedway.
 Unfortunately these motor cars have not proven entirely satisfactory. They broke down sometimes at moments in- opportune for the dignity of the Senators and they have been expensive to maintain. Now there is being sub stituted for these motors what is known as a monorail line,-a very picturesque transportation scheme whereby d car capable of holding twelve of our weightiest Senators is suspended from rail.-hung like sad dle bags on a horse,--and whisked along at a lively gait making the round trip between the Senate Build ing and the Capitol in a very few minutes. These mono-rai1 lines have been used to some extent in Germany but they are a new thing. here and the one which is now building at the Capitol is unlike anything else in the world. a ese

0 NCE more the law makers of
 the United States are assembling
 at the seat of government to
 " take up their legislative labors and once more they come back to an
 improved as well as a renovated Capi- tol. If there is any structure in our broad land that is maintained in per feet repair,--''well kept up'' in every sense of the term.-it is the great . white -domed building on Capitol Hill , at Washington.
 Uncle Sam is never bothered by any shortage of cash for such betterment at our legislative factory. It is pro : verbal that whatever may be their economies in running the general government the Senators and Repre- sentatives never stint themselves with {. reference to those things which make . for their comfort and convenience at : the Capitol As evidence of this policy it need only be cited that the -Congressmen have in recent years ap- -propriated money for more Improve -ments" at the Capitol than it has been possible to carry out in the time Available.
 !. And this brings us naturally, to -one odd feature of the house-cleaning
  and improvement work at the Capi- stol. Some years ago it was the prac -tice to carry on repair work and new construction at the Capitol at all -times, but a stop was put to this when there was an accident in con- -nection with some repair work in the Hall of the House of Representatives that all but cost the life of promi nent Member Thereafter, decreed Congress. all labor of this kind must be performed during the recess be- tween sessions.
 Now this annual Congressional re- cess naturally varies greatly in differ : .ent years. Ordinarily every other year Is a long session" and every other year is a ''shoft session. but some i. times this program is upset by . special session and then again, where as it may be necessary for short session to end on the 4th of March . there is no similar limit to the con tinuance of a long session. Well, as it happens. 1912 was the year for a . long session but few persons antici- pated that it would be quite so lengthy a sitting as 1t eventually

The lower house Is. nevertheless, in- teresting itself in connecting links for the two buildings and to that end there has been installed a remarkable pneumatic tube system. about TOO feet in length for the transfer of mails. books. etc. between the Capitol and the House office Building Strictly speaking, maybe, this shouldn't be called pneumatic tube because un- like the pneumatic tubes operated at the postoffices in New York and other large cities it is operated by suction instead of by compressed air. Anyway this new rapid transit line at the Capitol is. especially Interesting be- cause the tube is 1 8 inches in diameter or nearly twice the size of the similar tubes at New York and elsewhere. It is entirely automatic in it's action and 1t sends scooting it's full length q heavily loaded mall sack just as easi- ly. apparently, as the pneumatic carrier in the average department store brings the customers change from the cashiers desk.
 But, doubtless our lawmakers will need all these new aids for handling the affairs of the nation for 1t looks as though this would be a very busy session. There are many things on the program for so short a session. The Senate has a momentus impeachment trial as the opening number on it's pro gram and the House is expected to take up, the revision of our PatentL and possibly authorization of new Patent .Ohice. In the closing days of the last session s10,000 was appropriated to enable the Presidents Efficiency and Economy Commission to investigate the needs of the Patent Office and report with recommendations must be ready this week.
 This closing session of the present Congress will find 1t simply impera- tive, too, to make some provisions for the bigger Congress that will succeed 1t. This Is the last year that we will have less than 400 Representatives. Next year. thanks to- the showing of increased population fsade by the last Census and the consequent reappor- tionment. Uncle sam will have 433 Representatives on his hands. Some arrangement will have to be made for seating the larger body.-perhaps by removing the present desks and arm chairs from the Hall of Representa- tives and compelling each Member to be content merely with a chair and with a shelf or broad chair arm on which to write.

This cleansing of the vast white mar ble pile by means of clear water hurl- ed against it with great force is formidable task Two or three fire engines and considerable force of firemen to direct the streams are en- gagged for days q t u time on this odd chore.
 Of the actual improvements made during the past quarter of year at the Capitol some of the most import ant,--important at least from the standpoint of the Congressmcn them selves.-have had to do with the Senate and House restaurants and the attached kitchens. 1t is not to be ex pected that men drawing S7,500 q year form Uncle Sam and with an un limited "expense account" as regards their working quarters will be parsi- monious when it comes tolooking after the wants of the inner man." How ever there is another factor in this particular situation although it is one that would probably never be suspect ed by any person not Ion the in- side at the Capitol. Whisper the secret, though, the Capitol restaurants never pay, as a business proposition.
 The presiding officers of the Senate and House respectively duly delegate each year some person to operate the Capitol restaurants but such have been the misfortune of one caterer after another that there is no long CT any scramble for a position which Is all honor and very little profits. You see. mine host of g. Capitol cafe has a very limited period of activity each day. The Congressmen are never there for breakfast, nor for that mat ter is the general public that Is also permitted to patronize these restau- rants but in rooms apart from those reserved for the distinguished patrons. Similarity there is no trade for the evening meal except on rare occa- sions. All the trade of these unique eating places comes in the form of rush at the noon hour. We'll, the upshot of the matter is that for all that Congress makes all sorts of com sessions such as free rent, free light and free heat, these Capitol restau- rants are anything but a gold mine for
