.LEPERS KILLED IN
ATR0C|OUS MANNER
Thirty-Nine Put to Death in
Cold Blood by Chinese
Authorities

Shanghai, January 10.-Thirty- lep-
ers recently were put to death in an afro
cious manner by order of the provin-
cial authorities of Manning, province of
Kwang-Si. The sufferers were shot and
their bodies were burned in a huge
trench.
These advices were received here to-
day in letters from the Catholic mission
at Manning, dated December IA. They
said the lepers lived in the woods few
miles outside of Manning. The mission
sought permission to build at its own ex-
pense a lazaretto for them, and the pro-
vincial authorities, pretending to consent,
dug a pit in which was placed wood
sooked with kerosene.
At the point of the bayonet the lepers
were driven into the pit and shot and the
pyre was lighted and their bodies burned
in the presence of a large crowd. The au-
thorities offered rewards for the discov-
cry of other lepers, and this resulted in
the shooting of one more man afflicted
with the disease.
The governor after the massacre issued
a proclamation in which he accused the
lepers of having committed outrages. The
letters from the mission say there is no
foundation for this charge.

Archibald Arguments Over

Washington, January Jo.-Impeaehment
of Judge Robert w. Archibald of the cont
merce court tonight became the subject
of consideration for the Senate sitting as
a jury. The trial that has engrossed the
attention of the Senate for more than four
hours a day since December came to an
end when Representative Clayton OF Ala
bama concluded the final argument of the
House managers with another appeal for
the removal of Judge Archibald because
OF alleged misconduct.
Just as the Senate was about to adj
iourn Senator Reed OF 1soTri asked. per-
mission TO submit one more question to
Judge Archibald as to whether or not he
had altered the record Of testimony In the
Louisville and Nashville railroad rate
case before the commerce court. His cor
respondence with Attorney Helm Bruce
in this case furnished the foundation for
one OF the articles of impeachment.
Judge Archbald's attorneys declared
if the question was submitted they
would require an opportunity to make
further arguments. secret session
was at once ordered and at the end

The Senate will resume its consider

slider the case in secret it will vote in
open session. As soon as the time for
voting has been set the House will be
notified. and the House managers and
Judge Archbald's attorneys will have
the opportunity to witness expression
of the final decision.
The full penalty that may be imposed
by the Senate includes not only re-
moval from office but disbarment of
Judge Archibald from ever holding any
position of public trust in the future.
Separate votes will have to be taken
on each of the 13 articles of impeach-

WEEKS BUSINESS
OF PARCEL POST
Fifty Leading Cities Handled
Nearly Two Million
Packages

Washington, January 10.-Nearly two
million parcel post packages were sent
through the postoffice of the 50 leading
cities. of the country during the first
week of the operation of the new service
according to telegraphic reports received
today by Postmaster General Hitch
cock.
AS these cities handle about one half
of the postal business of the country,
postal officials estimate that between
three and four million parcel post pack
ages were mailed from January / to the T.
New York city led with record OF
l4s.000, Chicago follows with $4,000 and
Boston was third with 154.000.
Although the volume Of parcel post
business was greater during the first
week of the service than -officials lad
expected, the packages were handled
without confusion or delay. TO provide
the necessary equipment and personnel
to accomplish this. the Postmaster Gen
era1 utilized nearly all of the $4,000
originally appropriated by Congress, and
ne has asked for another appropriation
of the same amount for expenditure dur
ing the remainder of the current fiscal
year
Representative Anderson OF Minnesota
today introduced a bill as an amend
ment to the parcel post act so that in no
instance would rates on parcel post rat
ter be greater than the old rates on
fourth class matter. He claims that the
rates on packages weighing from one
ounce To g ounces now are too high.

south pole, told of his remarkable feat
here tonight in a lecture before the
National Geographic society. which. at
its annual banquet tomorrow night
will present the intrepid explorer with
a special gold medal in appreciation of
his achievement. Captain Amundsen
arrived in the United States at noon
today and hurried from New York TO
Washington to tell an American audi
ence for the first time of his antarctic
trip.
"I was walking ahead of the little
caravan" said Captain Amundsen, in
telling of reaching the south pole. "All
of a sudden l heard all the sledge
drivers cry out in unison. knew what
it meant. 1t meant that the last prob
lem in polar discovery had been
solved"
This he related in the same quiet
tone which characterized the other
parts of his lecture. It was greeted,
however. with salvos of applause.

Captain Amundsen paid honor in his
address to other explorers, among
them Rear Admiral Peary, Sir Ernest
Shackleton, Captain Scott and others
"On December 13, 1911. we had
reached SO degrees, 81 minutes south"
said Captain Amundsen, "and / figured
that on the next day we would reach
the goal. | think we slept less than
usual that night, arose earlier and
break tasted more rapidly than on other
days. 1t was beautiful day; the sun
was shining brightly. and there was a
gentle breeze.
81 instructed the men that morning
to examine the sledge meters with ex-
treme care and to watch the distance
as we went along. 1t was a moment of
solemnity when the five of US who
made the final stage of the trip stood
with our hands on the Norwegian flag,
the first planted at the south pole"
He then described how the members
of the little party went In various d.
rections around the pole, making OBJ
servations hourly, and how they crossed
several times over the small square
Of territory they marked Off SO as
to be sure that they had come very
close to the exact pole. They remained
at this point three days before starting
on their return toward the sturdy
Fran, which had carried them as far
toward the pole as navigation would
allow. ts
After his lecture Captain Amundsen
visited the National Press club, where
he spoke briefly and was introduced to
the members. Tomorrow he will repeat
his lecture before the Geographic So
ciety.
