WOULD lMPEACH JUDGE.
Arkansas House of Representatives
Act on Grand Jury Instruction.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, March TO-
Articles of impeachm against Cir
cult Judge John w. Wade were voted
by the Arkansas house of representa-
tives yesterday because of instruc-
tions the judge gave the grand jury
to investigate the morals of the leg
iSlature.
The articles did not refer specifical-
ly to Judge Wade's alleged references
to woman employees of the Legislature,
but were confined to charges of unbe-
coming conduct.
In the senate the house bill propos-
ing to abolish the first division of the
circuit court, over which Judge Wade
presides, met opposition, and final de-
cision was deferred until tomorrow.
Gov. McRae has refused to aocede to
the request of the Legislature that
he remove from office Judge Wade
holding that the grounds advanced
in a joint address submitted by the two
branches of the Legislature were not
sufficient to warrant action.
Gov McRae stated that while he
did not think Judge Wade's reference
to the legislature was proper or polite
it was his opinion that he meant no re-
Election on the woman employees and
was guilty only of indiscretion.
