Washington, Jan. l3.-The Treasury De

learned to-day. contemplates the abolition
Of all customs naval officers and sur
veyors Of customs. combining the port ad-

instances. At New York and at all other
actual seaports the collector. years ago,

When President Chester \. Arthur was

the attention Of Congress, and all sea

basis. The principle. however never mas

border ports.
The abolition Of the Naval Ohicer VIII
mark the passing Of one of the most MS
toric characters in the service OF the
United States. He IS a relic OF Colonlal
days When America was part oil the
British Empire local man was appointed
as a collector Of customs at the various
ports and the King OF England sent over
naval officer as his personal representa-
tive 10 check up the operations OF the COL
lector.
The position thus had its beginning end
the duties Of the Naval officer has grown

The salary AT New York is $500. ann
AT the others $500.
In reducing the existing 16j customs
district to less than fifty the Treas
ury Departments plan provides for plac-
ing each district I'm charge OF collector
and each port in charge Of deputy col
Iector. No existing port will be abolished
and many supports will be mGde ports
There is keen rivalry for the headquar-
ters Of each district. which will be the
Office Of the collector. Treasury officials
maintain that this location means little
ar nothing. In New York State the eX-
listing ten districts will be- reduced 10

The state of Ohio and Erie County.
Penn, will constitute one district with
Cleveland as headquarters.

Washington, January i&.
The Archibald impeachment.


The Impeachment of Judge Robert W.
Archibald by the Senate to-day not only
demonstrates tho effectiveness Of the con-
sttutional provision FOR dealing with
judges deserving OF removal. but consti-
tutcs another evidence OF tho courage and
upriChtness Of President Taft, to whose
determination to purge the bench, ire
spcCtye Of the effect on his own political
fortunes, this verdict is largely due. The
first intimaton of malfeasanCc of Judge
Archibald came practically a year ago, at
a time when the Commerce Court was
under heavy fire and when President Taft
was being wofully misroprcsonted and
lampooned I'm connection with certain I'M
popular decisions that tribunal had made.
So OppOrtunc, from the standpoint Of Mr..
Taft's political enemies. was the rumor Of
Judge Archbald's irregularities that
many believed it to be part and parcel
of the political warfare then being waged
on the President. President Taft. how
ever, always Jealous for the good name
Of the judiciary, Immediately caused the
Attorney General to undertake an invCs-
tGation. When. on April %. the House
passed a resolution calling for facts and
papers, the President was able to reply
that he had ordered an investigation on
February l3, and to submit 10 the House
Committee on judiciary the results there
TO, together with a report stating that, in
the opinion OF the Attorney General, the
matter was of such gravity as to demand
action by the House as the only body
possessed of the power TO bring articles
Of impeachment. Judge Archibald had
been originally appointed to the bench by
President Mckinley, had been reappointed
by President Roosevelt and had been
promoted TO the Commerce Court by
President Taft. The Senatc's decision in
this case is generally regarded as likely
10 give pause to the historic demand for
the recall Of judges. On the other hand,
it is likely TO give impetus to the step al
ready recommended by President Taft,
the simplifcation Of the method Of i'm
parchment, TO the end that greater eXpe-
dition and material saving Of the time
Of the Senate may be effected.
