ARCHIBALD MAY NOT
Be TAKEN TO TEXAS
Counsel May Demand That
Government Show Grounds
for Indictment.
BY International News Service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The federal
warrants for the arrest OF John D. Arch
bold OF the Standard on company and
two associates. all OF whom have been
indicted in Texas for alleged violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law, will be re-
ceived tomorrow by United States Dis
trict Attorney Henry A. Wise Arrange
ments for their surrender have been
completed and today the procedure to be
followed In their cases was made pub
lie.
In preparation for the impending trip
TO Texas and a possible lengthy sojourn
In the. south land, Mr.. Archbold has
been elevated In rank He is no longer
plain Mr.. Archbold. Now It is Colonel
Archbold, and he !s much pleased with
the new title.
ITO be indicted by a jury in a federal
court in Texas Is something that brings
immediate prominence said one of his
the common everyday citizen and. there
fore. some have seen fit to promote Mr..
Archbold to a colonelcy He is now OF
the elect FOR a certainty, being full
hedged indicted colonel, He can, there
fore. go south in peace II called upon to
do so.''
Today Archbold's attorney. John c.
Milburn. who Is one OF the principal legal
made arrangements with District Attor-
ney Wise for the acceptance of the war
rants. agreeing TO bring the three de-
fendants 70 the federal building when
ever their presence Is desired.
There are two main arguments that
can be raised to prevent the transfer OF
the three men to Texas, One is that
the indictments being handed up in an
other district than the one in which the
defendants reside gives them the legal
right to demand knowledge pertaining TO
the grounds for It. Counsel can con-
tend that there is no prima facie case
and therefore tho arrests are unjustl-
fable, The hand" OF the government
ne can demand. must be shown.
The second reason that can be raised
against the removal of the men is that
proper identity has not been established
Precedent In indictments. however. IS for
the immediate compliance by the federal
officers in one district with the request
sent from another.

that it will be shown that, besides

mainly Of mortgages on New York

LORDS REJECT THE
HOME RULE MEASURE
Earl of Halsbury Mourns Be-
cause the Bill IS Certain 10
Become a Law.
ULSTER BY-ELECT1ON
Nationalists Capture Seat
From the Conservatives in
Londonderry District.
ULSTER BY-ELECT1ON

LONDON, Jan. S0.--After four
days discussion the house of lords re
jected the home rule bill tonight, 32e
% 90. The result was forcgonc con
elnsion.
Tic speeches aroused little interest
because. as the earl of Halsbury pa
thetically observed. the position of tho
house was now that of an ordinary de-
hating club-the peers could express
their views and reject the bill, but they
could rot prevent 1t from becoming
law.
Nevertheless the largest muster Of
peers since the fsteful evening they
passed tho parliament bill, assembled In
the house and bejeweled peercsses
thronged the side galleries.
Lord L1nsdowre would up the de-
bate for the opposition; Lord Morley
Of Blackburn for the government.
The scene was lacking in the dra-
matte excitement which accompanied
the lords rejection OF Mr.. Gladstone S
bill in 1898 by far larger majority,
37s.
Lord Morley, in closing the debate,
remarked the absence OF the ferocity
which characterized the debates on the
Gladstonian measures, and, replying to
S0GsNbNhV NoIhihE AhhN ~
giving of homo rule TO Ireland would
DE menace TO England If England
ever were involved in serious interna-
tional tronble, reminded Lord Lans-
downe that his own land policy would
give Ireland cash or credit to the ey-
tent Of two hundred millions British
money and that Lord Lansdowne
scarcely would be likely TO do that if
he really believed that Ireland was
likely TO become England g enemy.
Lord Cursor OF Kedleston, in a speech
earlier in the evening, also referred TO
tho listlessness the PUBLIC had shown
over the bill and to "the deplorablc
and unutterable natness Of the debates

Issue in Campaign.

During the last campaign interest on
public funds became a political Issue. All
OF the political parties were pledged 10
tho enactment OF measures making IL
possible for the state TO secure interest
on the public funds. Methods Of dcpos-
Hing the funds and tho benefits accru-
ing TO the state as result were dis
cussed at length by campaign orators.
In the opening days OF the present
state legislature, Senator George j.
Kelly of Weber introduced a measure
authorizing the state treasurer TO de-
posit public funds at interest in depos-
itarles selected by the state board OF ex-
aminers, There is doubt as TO tho con-
stitutionallty OF the measure. however,
for the constitution specifically provides
that the state treasurer shall be the sole
custodian OF the public funds.
state Treasurer Jewkes believes ne has
solved the problem by the agreement no
has secured with the banks, whereby tho
state will receive upwards OF per cent
interest on the public funds, lie expects
10 complete his arrangements and secure
the interest for the state beginning with
in the next few days. He VIII ask the
