TRAITS OF JOE JEFFERSON

Jefferson looked at nm calmly and
said, "Well. will you kindly find some
other place to lean tomorrow night?'
And there the incident closed
There was another funny happening.
Everyone remembers the scene in the
Catskill mountains with Hudson and his
crew. This had to be rehearsed with
lot of "supers" every night. 1t was very
important scene for Mr.. Jefferson, ana
was rehearsed by young Joe, who was
young and easygoing. He used to sum-
mon these supers up about quarter be-
fore s, and a motley crew they were,
picked ub in the street. He would spend
about five minutes telling them where to
stand and what to do, as they. being all
ghosts, did not speak. Young Joe nim-
self played Hendrix Hudson, and made
the first movements, which the rest of
the crew followed.
On this night Jefferson came on with
the weird little figure that had lured hin
from the lower passes with the barrel
which he was carrying to Hudson and his !,
crew. In this scene RIP stands there for
a moment in awe and wonder, facing one
of these figures, reeois slightly and goes
around him, not at first realizing that
there are others like him. In the deadly
silence, for he has hynotized the audience
into the atmosphere necessary for the
scene he bumps into the second man
and turns with awe-struck face gazing
at him. Out of the silence came Jeiter-
sons wonderful tones, Are you that fell

called from the princes of a family VINO
long ruled districts of Albania, and which
has been generally accepted by the lead
ing men of other clans and flags, is. trans

court, against whom impeachment
charges we're brought several months
ago. on the charge that he was util-
izing the powers OF his office for
private gain, was found guilty today
on Eve of the thirteen counts EN-
braced in the indictment.
The vote on impeachment on each
OF the articles on which he was con-
yicted, was practically unanimous. On
the first, it was sixty-elght to FIVE,
and there was little variance In the
others
Three senator's asked to be excused
and were relieved from the task OF
voting on the impeachment charges
on the ground OF their not having
heard all the evidence. They were
Senator Kern Of Indiana, Senator
Dillingham; OF Vermont and Senator
Bradley OF Kentucky.
The verdict of the senate means
that Judge Archbold can never hold
another Office Of public trust and that
he shall be Immediately removed

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 1S.--In a re-

legislative members the indication is
that Judge William II. Thompson has
at no time had any serious oppose
tion in securing the legislative con-
firmation of his election. The Garden
City man believes that he will re-
ceiye the unanimous vote Of both
houses in the vote on United States
senator.
Responses were received by the
State Journal from 20 OF the 40
members of the senate. OF this NUM-
Der 10 were positive in their state
ment that they would support Thomp-
son. two responded in the negative
and three we're non-committal. Let
ters we're received from 6S Of the 125
members Of the House. Forty de-
clared they would vote for Thompson,
FIVE said mo" and % gave no indica-
tlon Of their position in the matter.
Judge Thompson claims he has re-
celved letters from 1870 members of
the house and senate who declare
they will support him first, last and
all the time. These letters are from
S6 members of the house and "a
members of the senate. This insures
him the confirmation Of his election
