COMMITTEE DROPS CHARGES AGAINST
 ALSTON t. DAYTON

Washington. March s-Impeachment proceedings against Aston c. Dayton, federal judge in the northern district of West Virginia, were dropped by the House judiciary committee today A ma- jority report drafted by the subcommit- tee which investigated charges against Judge. Dayton, held that while his con duct in some instances had been ''repre- hensble," there was little possibility of maintaining them to a conclusion of guilt" A majority report recommending impeachment was rejected.
 The House authorized the investigation early in February, and a subcommittee went to West Virginia to conduct the inquiry which was concluded in Wash ington. The House directed that the sub committee inquire among other things whether Judge Dayton conspired with certain interpretations and individuals to obtain the removal of Judge Jackson, his predecessor; whether he had showed marked favoritism to certain corpora tions; whether he had lent his services as judge to coal operators by improp- erly issuing injunctions; whether he had showed hatred and bitterness toward miners on trial in his court, end whether he had openly stated he would not per init the United Mine Workers of America to exist within the jurisdiction of his court.
 The findings on specific charges de. clared the judge had not conspired tc remove Judge Jackson and had not shown favoritism to corporations. The report stated that as to charges of prej- udice against labor organizations. Judge Dayton's conduct in cases involving then generally was that of one who hat prejulged the case before him.

DELIGHTFUL PARTY
 OUT AT LAKE PURDY
Water Company Officials Provide Fine Fish Fry"
OUTING ON THE LAKE
Guests Yesterday Shown Various Units of Big Plant and Encour- aged to Enjoy the Day
 Thoroughly

Officials of the Birmingham Water works company yesterday entertained ! party of congenial spirits and amateurs in piscatorial art with an outing and 2 barbecue.
 The object of the company was to cele- hrate the first fair day Of gentle spring and, incidentally, the burying of the hatchet which has done long service ir legal warfare against the municipal gov ernment.
 The result of the day in the wood and on the lake was all that the hosts and the guests could have desired. The lat ter returned to town with a rich, calm content in that the innerman had been sumptuously fed on meats excellently barbecued, and the physical man exer- cised and renewed in strength And the guests, too, realized, many of them for the first time that President Bert Lynn of the company, was justified in strug- gling for the preservation of his spien- did property, and that the city, in it's present financial condition. could not op- crate the plant and maintain it for long in it's high state of efficiency.
 Officials as Guides
 
 It was just as the sun had partially warmed the world that the party set out with Major Dan O'Connell. H. H. Horner, superintendent of the company, and Chief A. V. Bennett in the role of guides. As guests of the company were executives of corporations representatives of the bal and press and the municipal govern ment.
 The dash over the hills was made ir record time. At the filter station was the first stop made. There the party was given a demonstration of how the com- rany furnishes the city of Birmingham with an abundance of water, chemically prre Several miles beyond, at the pumping station the second stop was made. There the guests were shown the giant machinery employed in pumping each day millions of gallons of water \ from nearby streams and lakes. And there too, was given evidence of the fact that the company operates a coal

 The third and final stop was at Lake Purdy- There Caretaker Billups had pre- pared his barbecue-the essence of which
 from afar the guests had caught.
 Nothing Left Undone for Pleasure
 NIT. Horner, who was superintendent of service, had left nothing undone There was, first of all, an abundance of meat
 of many varieties, excelently prepared Secondly, there was every brand of ciga- rette and cigar Third, there was liouid refreshments, the latter having been rem dered necessary on account of the fact that many of the guests were "prohibi- tionists."
 As soon as the guests were invited to
 Hay to-" they responded quite nobly and for the space of an hour, silence relgned. Following the dinner, the vis- itors were put in boats and showed upon the "mysterious deep" which, at that mcment, under the full sun of a glorious spring day, was bright as glass and
 as alluring as woman. Live bait in plenty had been prepared as we'll as poles tackle and hooks. All that remained for the guests to do was to row distance from shore and sink their snares of steel. It was not necessary that they make a haul for MT. Billups had already pre- pared the trout.
 Return Among Wonderful Scenery
 And finally. the day slipped away. Late in the afternoon, the guests tired from eating. fishing, rowing and indulgence in many games, returned along the 16- milo route to Birmingham, returned amid scenery as attractive as that or the sky country" and on roads which in the main, were credit to the Board of Rev erue and its system of working convicts on the highways. And finally, from the advantage of the hills, Birmingham, with its innumerable lights a-tw1nnie m a clcud of smoke, was thrust into view, ly- inc supinely, and from that distance, si- lertly, as if awaiting in patience the return of prodigals.
 In the party were MT. Horner MT. O'Connell and MT Bennett of the water works company; MT. Knox and MT. Sted- | man of the Southern Bell Telephone com psny, MT. Wilcox of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company, Mir Ross of the Tidewater company, Mir. DeWindt of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, Mir Ward.

TWO MORE GERMAN
SUBMARINES SUNK
Crew of One of Them Captured and

London, March 8.-The extent tt
which Great Britain has been waging
it's campaign against German subma

mel and the North sea against mer
chant shipping was demonstrated by

GERS of the submarine US, sunk by

If this is true the British admiralty

of all the undersea craft, as so far
only four have been reported sunk,
the fourth on Thursday.

RECORD-BREAKING
CONGRESS ENDS
Body Was in Almost Continuous ses-
sion Since April I, 1913-Many
New Laws Enacted.

Washington, March 6.-The fall Of
gavels in the senate and house brought
to an end the remarkable Sixty-third
congress, which has been in almost
continuous session since April Z, 1913,
and will be historic for the amount OF
major legislation enacted.
The appropriations of this congress
are the highest on record, while the
vast amount of important legislation
enacted chronicles the high mark for
congressional labor.
Appropriations at the first session
Of the congress reached the enormous
total of $1,116, 100000 and the sums
appropriated in the closing days Of the
second session probably will be as
great. 1t is estimated that the Sixty
third congress has levied tribute of
nearly two billion and quarter dol.
lars upon the federal treasury.
President Wilson called the. new
congress into session within a few
days after he assumed Office, the big
tasks Of the extra session began with
repeal of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law and the enactment of currency
legislation. This extra session merged
into the regular session which began
December /, 1913, and the regular ses-
sion continued throughout another
summer, expiring on October "a, 1914.
The tired legislators were given
brief respite from October "a to De-
cember T. 1914, on which latter day
they reassembled for the final session
of the Sixty-third congress.

MiIIionaire's Counsel Makes Charge
at TriaI-Jury Is Selected.
New York, March 10.-John4 B.
Stanchfield sprung his surprise de-
tense in the Thaw case at the close
of the first day of the conspiracy
trial which ended in the selection of
a jury in record time. 1t is this:
"Thaw's commitment to Matteawan
was illegal in that it did not provide
for his discharge from the state hos
pital as soon as he had recovered his
reason. Having been restored to san
ity--as we will show-before August
IL, 1913, the day of his escape-and
being then still held in restraint, he
cannot be guilty of conspiracy in es-
Gaping from an institution where he
was illegally detained"
In the first brief skirmish Thaw
seemed to gain temporary advan-
tage.
