victed by Senate.
STRONG AGAINST JURIST

Vote on First Count Is sixty-eight to
Five for Conviction of "Hiuh
Crimes and Misdemeanors"-
dict Of Acquitta on Several Accu-
sations.
Washington, Jan. 14.--Judge Rob-
ert w. Archibald of the commerce
court was found guilty by the senate,
sitting as a court of impeachment, of
having misused his office and power
as a Judge for his personal gain The
penalty is removal from his high
office.
Archibald was convicted on the first
count Of thirteen which the house of
representatives brought against him
1t charged that he had used his posi-
tion as a judge to persuade the Erie
railroad company to give to him and
u. j. Williams of Scranton an option
on coal dump at a price probably
$4,000 less than it's real value.
On this, the first charge, the senate
voted 6S to for his conviction OF
high crimes and misdemeanors :"
Although the verdict insured Judge
Archbald's removal from the bench
and the service of the United States
courts the senate then proceeded to
vote on the other twelve counts of
the articles Of impeachment which
charged various other acts where
Archibald had improperly used his in
fluence as a Judge.
The conviction upon the first count
came with an unexpected majority
against Judge Archibald, but two.
thirds being necessary for a convic-
tion.
AS the roll call proceeded sixty
eight senators rose slowly In their
places and pronounced the word
guilty" in low tones.
AS the vote on the first article was
announced Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia moved that the senate go
into executive session. He said that
he believed a vote on the other
SOuhlb DIl6hL BS dlbDtloCu Win vi
abridged by secret deliberation.
Motion Is withdrawn.
Senator Culberson and Senator
Poindexter objected that the senate
could not vote on the articles in ex-
ecutiye session. After some discus
sion Senator Smith withdrew his mo-
tion and the clerk proceeded to read
the second article.
Not guilty was the verdict on the
second article of impeachment, which
charged Judge Archibald with having
attempted to secure a fee by settling
a case between the Marion Coal COM
pany and the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad. The vote was
46 to % In the judges favor.
On the third charge the senate
found Judge Archibald guilty. This
charge embodied alleged undue influ-
ence on Lehigh Valley railroad off,
cials in coal dump deal.
The vote was 60 to IL. The vote
on the fourth article Of impeachment
again resulted in conviction by
vote of So to 20.
The fifth vote resulted in another
verdict of guilty. The vote was &C
to 6.
Judge Archibald was acquitted on
the sixth charge, the vote for convic-
tion being "a to As. This recited that
he tried to influence officials of the
Lehigh road to buy an interest In the
SO called "Everhard coal lands"

WILL PUT ISSUE
UP TO TURKEY
Powers to Send Note to
Ottoman Government.
HOPEFUL sign IS SEEN

summonlng of Grand Council at Con.
stantinople Believed to Indicate
That the Porte Is Not Ready to Re.
sumo Fighting.
London. Jan. 14-The issue of
peace or war will rest with Constan.
tnople after the final drafting of the
note to the Ottoman government
which will be settled at the days
meeting of the ambassadors at the
British foreign office.
The convocation of the Turkish
grand council is considered a sign in
favor of peace. If Turkey were ready
for war the calling together of the
council would be unnecessary. Like
that of 1878, at the time of the Rus
so-Turkish war, the present grand
council appears destined to share
with the Turkish cabinet the respon-
sibility of making peace on this oc-
casion by yielding the fortress of
Adrianople
This, however, is not the view held
by the Ottoman peace delegates here,
who persist in the opinion that moth
ing can possibly induce the porte to
renOunce the historic Mohammedan
capital.

Suggest Collective Note.

The ENJOYS of the Balkan allies ex-
press the opinion that the note draft.
ed by the European powers would ac-
quire greater weight If presented to
the Ottoman government collectively
by all the European ambassadors in
Constantinopfe. They think that If
1t should be presented by the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador in his capac-
ity as dean of the diplomatic corps
1t might lose Importance owing to
the Austrian bitterness against some
of the Balkan states.
The negotiations continue between
M. Jonescu, minister Of the interior
of Roumania, and DR.. s. Daneff, lead
er of the Bulgarian peace delegation.
1t seems that Bulgaria questions Rou-
mania's neutrality and ii is declared
she is able to prove that Bucharest
allowed 500 trucks of war material
from Germany to pass through Rou-
manian territory on the way to Tur-
key.
