The third charged English with des-

fusal to appoint receivers suggested
by counsel for interested parties in
the Alton, Grant ard st. Louis traction
company case, unless appointment of

posting them exclusively in the First
State Bank Of Couterville, of which J.

was a director.
The fifth said that English repeat

Attic no crimes were charged
against English, the committee report
said that impeachment is not confined
alone to acts forbidden by the consti-
tuition or federal statutes.
"The better sustained and modern
view," said the report, sis that the
provision for impeachment in the con-
stitution applies not only to high
crimes and. misdemeanors as these
words are understood at common law,
but also facts which are not defined
as criminal and made subject to in
dictment and those which affect the

mitted jointly by Weaver, democrat of

ment. The other, prepared by Yates,
republican of Illinois, holds the evil
dence insufficient.

fused to sign the majority report, but

port the minority recommendations.
