in negotiations for the Katydid re-
fuse coal dump, owned jointly by
subsidiary of. the Erie Railroad. and
by the firm of Robertson & Law. He
admitted that he had talked with Sec
ond Vice President Richardson and
General Counsel Brownell of the Erie,
in an effort to expedite a decision as
to whether the Erie would grant an
option on its part of the dump, but
he denied that nc had tried or intend
ed to influence them to act in his
favor.
Judge Archibald declared he had
no intesest whatever in the set
tlenent of the case of the Ma
rian Coal Co. of Scranton against the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Railroad. He went to officials of the
railroad in that case he said, as the
friend of George NJ. Watson, the at
torney for the coal company, and c..
d. Roland, one of the owners of the
coal company. He had no thought of
reward for his efforts, he said, and no
purpose to influence the railroad to
make a favorable settlement. He de-
MED that he had tried to get credit
from litigants or possible litigants in
his course either while judge of the
middle district of Pennsylvania, or
While a member of the United States
commerce court. He declared that he
had never attempted to conceal his in
terest in the Katydid culm dump deal
or in the settlement of the Marian Coal
Co case and that on the contrary, his
action in these cases was we'll known
before the Impeachment proceedings
against him.
Upon one point only was the jurist
subjected to much questioning from
members of the Senate. This was in
reference to the charge that. as a mem
Der Of the commerce court he had
written to Helm Bruce, an attorney
for the Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road, as to the evidence that had been
presented in the case of that road
against the Interstate Commerce Com
mission tried before the commerce

Judge Archibald declared certain
points in the evidence were not clear
ard that he had written to Mr.. Bruce
to clear them up. The correspondence
amounted to nothing. he said, because

Washington, Jan. 6.--The plan pro-
posed by Union Pacific Railroad at

merger by allowing the Union Pacific
privilege of buying the Southern
Pacific stock now owned by the Union
Pacific Railroad Cooperation, was
CURLY but positively rejected. today,
by the supreme court Of the United
states.
Justice Day announced the conclu-
sions of the court in regard to the
plan proposed by the railroad attor-
neys, and opposed by the government.
as he delivered the opinion, Dec. 2,
holding that the ownership of stock
by the Union Pacific Co, was a viola
ton of the Sherman antitrust law.
Government officials, who heard Jus
tice Day were convinced that a COM
plete end of the merger must be
agreed upon, and that any Paper"
dissolution would be rejected by the
court.
The court took the position that a
corporation is only another name for
the stockholders and to allow the Union
Pacific stockholders to buy the stock
now held by the Union Pacific Rail
road Co., the corporation of which
they are the stockholders, would
amount to nothing effeetual. This ac-
ton is regarded as a highly important
precedent in anti-turnst litigation.

London, Jan. 6.-The first stage Of
the peace negotiations, which is re-
garded by diplomats largely as one
of pretense on Turkeys part TO avoid
the appearance of yielding to the de-
mands of the allies without pressure
from the Powers, is over now. It is
expected that the second stage will
soon begin, with the Powers acting be-
hind the scenes and pulling the strings
which will compel Turkey to concedr
the bulk of the allies demands.

At todaYs sitting of the conference
Turkey renounced in favor of the al
lies her rights in the island of Crete
and promised further rectihcation Of
the Thraeean frontier, but insisted up
on the retention of Adrianople. The al
lies declared that this was not salts

That does not mean a rupture OF tile
negotiations. The conference may DC
resumed, either by Turkey giving no.
tiffca ton that she has fresh proposals
to submit, or by the allies. on the
ground that they have communications

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 26- While detectives W CT e aiding Steve Demeti ao of East St. Louis in search for his seven year old child, Annie, who he says vas stolen by a band ot gypsies in August, 1912, Deme' trao found brother he had not seen in 10 years. He is John De- metrao, ruler over a band of gypsies camped at the north end of town, and will use every effort in locating his niece.
 Ifgypsies have her, he told the police. We will find her and res- tore her to her parents. Deme- trao doubts his brothers belief that his people would abduct a enid. There has been a belief of long standing, he said. that gypsies take children, but l have never seen it. If we find such the case We will rule this band as outlaws and aid the police in bringing them to justice.
 John Demetrao came from Canada. Ten years ago he left home and has been mourned as dead. His brother had not heard from him and he declared he wrote, but received no reply.
