MANY CHANGES IN THE METHODS
Question Whether aa Indictable Of
lease la Htrmarr-Swtrie Likely
In Appear la Prio aad Go
oa the fHaad,
Crowded with Interesting pictures of the
historic past are the precedent that gov
em in Impeachment trial, auch aa that
tiow apparently under way In congress. It
would have been an Impressive scene In tha
renate today had the gentlemen from the
hojse rehearsed their parts, when the clerk
read the message transmitted to the senate,
older In lta phrases than our constitution,
4 ad when Mr. Palmer of Pennsylvania,
B wayne's chief prosecutor, advanced to the
bar of the senate and said, after suitable
Introduction: "In obedience to the order of
"the house of representatives we appear be
fore you, and In the name of the house of
representatives and of all the people of the
United States we do Impeach Charles
Swayne, Jude of the district court of the
United States for the northern district of
Florida, of high crimes and misdemeanors
In office, and we further Inform the senate
that . the house of representatives will, In
due time, exhibit particular articles of Im
' peachment against him and make good the
same, and In their name we demand that
the senate take order for the appearance
of the said Charles Swayne to answer said
Impeachment."
Mr. Frye, the president pro tempore of
the senate, announced that order would be
taken and a committee appointed to man
age the affair on the part of the aenate.
This form of announcement and reply goes
back in substance to the great trials in
England, of which the most noted was that
of Warren Hastings. The English parlia
ment, however. Is so different from our con
gress. It being a law unto Itself, while c in
gress Is restrained by a written constitu
tion, that preoedents do not follow at all
points, but in the custom and ceremonial
of the Impeachment procedure our system
comes directly from the British.
Chances In House Methods.
Everybody takes it for granted that
Speaker Cannon will appoint the managers
on tha part of the house, and yet this . is
not the old historic practice, but is rather
a development of house methods, which has
come from the Increasing slse and the
growing subordination of the Individual
members. In the Humphreys Impeachment
the speaker appointed the managers; In the
Belknap impeachment they were chosen by
a resolution offered from the floor, and In
the Andrew Johnson trial they were chosen
by ballot. That was also true of the earlier
trials of Peek, Chose and Blount. It is
assumed that If we were to have a great
case, with conflicting passions and high
feelings, the managers on the part of the
house, would be chosen In this way, as one
Of the high prerogatives of its members.
But the house rarely resorts to this method
and If it did so at all It wbuld be by a
resolution naming the men, and their se
lection would be the result of some sort of
caticua action. - This was poetically what
- happened in-ttwiSeTHrmp li'lai. The minor
Ity party also Is given representation, al
' though the managers, seven In number,
must all be men In favor of Impeachment.
Whether they must be in favor, the ground
which the house accepts, raises an Interest
ing question in this case. Practically It cen
ters about the personality of Mr. Little
field. He would be an especially strong
and useful man In this service, although It
Is now assumed that the house will adopt
a wider bill of particulars than he has
given adhesion to. He would thus have
to argue before the senate that certain
offences warranted Impeachment, while on
the floor of the house hs argued that they
did not But In the attitude of an attorney,
representing the house, he might serve, and
probably will.
The second attempt to Impeach Andrew
Johnson came after the removal of Stan
ton. The house then Insisted on putting in
Other articles besides this alleged Illegal
act; ha was charged with lowering the dig
nity of his office with Intemperate speech,
which was certainly not an Indictable of
fense. Mr. Wilson called attention to that
fact on the floor of the house, but he was
overruled, and was then made one of the
managers. It would be very exceptional for
the house to waive Its prerogative In that
way. A Judge might be utterly unfit with
out committing an Indictable offense under
the United States law. The case of Judge
Mark H. Delahay of the United States dis
trict court of the state of Kansas, Is a
case In point. The house started to Im
peach him on account of his personal hab
its and a resolution was prepared, when he
resigned to get out of the way. This was
in 1872. Judge Durell of Louisiana, who
gave the famous midnight order which sent
the United States troops Into the capital of
that state, overthrowing the government
which Warmouth was trying to set up and
establishing the Kellogg, government, also
resigned under fire. He had clearly ex
ceeded his Jurisdiction and the house or
dered an Investigation. Other charges be
sides that came out. One of these was the
opinion of the majority of the committee
m was negligent In his duties; but
the main grievance was In eon nactlnn with
.is mgn-iianded course growing out of the
lection of 1872. The Judiciary commute
reported In favor of Impeaching him. but
congress adjourned before action was taken
and Durell resigned.
Incidents of tha Johnson Trial.
Certain things happened In the Andrew
Johnson trial which ore not usual. The
(touts of representatives resolved Itself into
a committee of the whole, with Henry L.
Eawes aa chairman, and accompanied Its
managers to the aenate, with olerka and
djrrktepers. They were formally received
by the senate, and aeata were providea.
The speaker of the house was given a
ii.ee beside the president of the senate.
rve bouse will not go over there this
and, on the other hand, house lead-
r-Ject the view, that the senate can
r this testimony throug-i a committee.
Inquiry which Senator Hoar aet on foot
the last session, for the government ef
ure Impeachment trials. John A.
r.Rharn of Ohio read the articlea of lm-
t ichment In the Johnson trial. We w
brilliant lawyer, but waa not many !
Trs sgo pensioned by private act of con-
!ess because of his falling fortune He
d seen a little service as paymaster, and
)ith that as a pretext congress was very
ajad to help him out.
In that tru.1 the chief justice of the su
preme court necessarily presided. In ac
cordance with the provision of tno consti
tution. The presiding officer of the senatt.
If he la the vice president, la next In line
In the succession, an.1 :.o would be Inter
ested In tha result. At that time, before
the passage of the pi evidential succession
act, tha president pro tern, of the senate
had an equal Interest In the case, where
there wss no vice president. This waa tha
first Um that a chief Justice ted presided.
Christmas
There may n6t be snow on the ground
to make the typical old-time Christmas,
but there will be elaborate holiday praise
services in the churches. From the great
est tmong all the houses of worship to the
smallest flowers are being placed about the
char.cel rail and the pulpit and the Christ
mas green draped over the windows and
doorways. The old Christmas music that
has shouted "Hallelujah! Christ Is bom,"
for so many, many years, and the newest
gems from the pen of the modern-day
writer of church music will share equally
In the service.
The "gift day falling on the Sabbath, the
services will be more uniform In the vari
ous denominations snd sects than would
otherwise be the case. The churches are
about equally divided as to whether their
principal services comes In the morning at
the regular service hour or In the evening.
There Is a considerable divergence In tho
hour of the little people's service. Some
of these will have their celebrations this
evening and a larger number will wait un
til the evening of the legal holiday, Mon
day. But far the greater number will take
the hour of the regular Sunday evening
church service, snd the little people will
take the pulpit from the head of the con
gregation and sing songs and falter
"pieces" from the platform, while the can
dles are sparkling on the wondrous tree.
In the charity homes, the hospitals, the
Jails and the county Institutions there are
also to be the customary celebrations of the
day. Turkey Is the greater part of It.
There are also Christmas trees and Christ
mas services.

St. Matthias' Episcopal church has an
early celebration of the holy communion
Christmas at 7:80 o'clock, and a high cele
bration at il o'clock. Following Is the mu
sical program:
Processional Hark, The Herald; Angela
and the aeiiators were naturally very Jeal
ous of the precedent which it might fur
nish They seemed much afraid that ha
would want to vote, and might vote in
Johnson's favor. This would require two
offsetting senators, and so was a dangerous
suggestion. Mr. Chase waa accordingly
not Invited to preside until after tha arti
cles had been read, and throughout thu
trial tha dominant senators used every ef
fort to strike down .the Idea that the
aenata waa sitting aa a court, or that It
ahould be spoken of as "a high court of
Impeachment." It waa apparent that if
they were to sit aa a court, with the chief
Justice the presiding officer, under the con
stitution, and a member of ths court, he
would naturally want to participate in its
procedlngs. Senators Conkllng and Oliver
P. Morton csst out all evidence which
would lead to that construction, even
striking the word "court" out of every
thing, and declaring that they were sitting
as a senate for the trial; they thus re
strained tha power of Mr. Chase In the
admission of evidence so far aa poaalble.
In point of fact, ha did vote where thera
waa a tie on minor questions like that of
the daily adjournment, but not without
protest. Cliirlea Sumner made soma re
marks on this question, and put In a reso
lution designed to prevent the chief Jus
tice from voting on even ths most minor
questions, and as It turned out, Mr. Chass
ptade no attempt to vote on tho final issue.

Another Interesting feature of that trial
was tha challenging of the vote of Ben
Wade of Ohio, the president pro tem of the
senate, and the man who would have be
come president had Johnson's Impeachment
bean consummated. When Wade took the
oath the point was raised that hla salary
would become $25,000 a year, besides receiv
ing the emoluments of the presidency, and
that he could not, from tho well known
maxims of the law, serve as a Judge In the
case. This was thrashed out somewhat,
but without a definitely adverse decision.
Wade refrained frpm voting all the way
through on subsidiary questions, until Just
before tha clora of the trial, when ha began
to vote, and voted on the final Issue. It has
always been believed that It waa hla Inten
tion not to vote on the case, but aa It be
came apparent how close tha Issue was
going to be, with tha result, perhaps, de
pending on this disputed vote, this consid
eration of propriety was waived.
Challenging- tho Vote.
Another vote on that cass which was sub
ject to challenge was that of Senator Pat
terson of Tennessee, a son-in-law of Andrew
Johnson. For obvious reasons ha was not
formally challenged, and ha votd through
out the cate for acquittal, of course. Ben
jamin F. Butler brought out an Interest
ing point In alluding to this relationship
when hs recalled that one of tho Judges

of Henry VIII, was her own father, and
that he decided against her, on a roost
shameful charge. In a striking passage
General Butler voiced his expectation that
the connections of the president would
measure out even-handed Justice.
President Johnaon, of course, did not ap
pear in person at his trial. Belknap ap
peared, as did Judge Chase and Judge Peck.
It is assumed that Swayne will appear in
person aa well aa by counsel, and he Is
quite likely to go on the stand In hla own
defense if the senate permits him to do so,
although no cmch case has ever arisen. The
answer to the charges which Is first for
mally presented is supposed to be prepared
by the respondent's attorney, although the
library of congress today contains In lta
archives Andrew Johnson's answer, written
in bis own crabbed handwriting. This does
not appear to the Transcript correspondent
to be in tha soma phraseology as tha final
draft, but la Indicative of the cloae per
sonal relation which Johnaon bora to tha
trial. Judge Swayne will probably have a
large hand In drawing his own answer. Ths
hours managers make a formal re Joiner, or
replication.

The Christmas program of the Hanscom
Park Sunday school will be given In the
auditorium of the church Monday evening.
The program this year is a unique one and
consists in the verlous classes making
gifts to the Methodist hospital In this city
Instead of receiving gifts from the school,
as has been the usual custom. The plans'
of the various classes have been kept
secret and no one will know what part
each class has arranged to take In the pro
gram of the evening until they appear. It
Is certain the hospital is going to be well
remembered. No collection will be taken
that evening or admission charged, but
there will be several barrels conveniently
located in the church to receive such pro
visions or other gifts those other than
members of the several classes may see fit
to bring.

tried the old ball was hung in appropriate
color and the old ceremonial was adhered
to. Today the senate will handle this case
as a matter of routine business, and Judge
Swayne will probably have as much diffi
culty In keeping a full house as does the
president with his annual message. The
examinations and the cross-examinations
are conducted as In court, and there Is al
ways much sparring over the admission of
evidence. In the trial of Judge Peck an at
tempt was made by William Wirt to obtain
a more liberal construction of the law of
evidence. He cited the masterly protest
uttered by Burks In the Warren Hastings
case, against the application of the rigid
rules that govern ordinary practice, V and
argued that the law and custom of Parlia
ment should prevail. James j Buchanan re
plied, arguing for tha strict connection, In
which be referred to the almost forgotten
fact that in the Hastings case it waa de
cided to hold the evidence down to tha rec
ognised rules. As tha trial of Judge Chase
had proceeded upon ths same principle, ths
senate, by a vota of 7 to 85, rejected Wirt's
proposal. The question came up again in
Andrew Johnson's trial, when Charles
Sumner made an effort to get a change In
the. rules of evidence, arguing that It waa
an Impeachment trial before the aenate of
the United States and not a proceeding by
indictment in a federal court; and that tho
senators were from beginning to end Judges

Judges from whom there Is no appeal. He
argued that all evidence, except that which
was trivial and obviously Irrelevant, should
be received without objection, to be sifted
by the senators themselves In their final
Judgment, By a vote of 33 to 11 this pro
posal was rejected. The great argument
against it waa that in' a body composing so
many business men not acquainted with the
practice of law the rulta of evidence which
had come down the centuries would be of
the utmoat guiding value. Hence it Is
certain that these will be strictly adhered
to in the Swayne caae.
It U a peculiar fact that the right of un
limited debate In the aenata Is limited in
an Impeachment trial and apparently no
where else. All questions of evidence must
be decided by the senate without debate.
This was limited very strictly in the John
son trial, because his opponents did not
want to leave any loopholes open for delay.
Managers and counsel may. have an hour
each to discuss questions of evidence, but
the senator can only do It In secret ses
sion, sfter the arguments are closed, and
then he Is limited to fifteen minutes. Then
the senate usually passes an order permit
ting members to file written onlnlon. Tk.

CHARITY PROMPT TO ACT
Good Feeple with Metis QuicU- Keipoid
to Worthy Onei in Biitreu,
GIRL ENABLED TO PROPERLY BURY MOTHER
Mttle Widow with Five Children la
Relieved of Dire Want by
Generous Women Who
Look Her I p.
Thoro waa a happy mingling of Joy and
sorrow today at 1S11 Lake street, where
Mm, Bello Russell died Wednesday night
on the sixteenth anniversary of her only
child. Miss Nona Bowker. Borrow was de
picted on the face of the bereaved daughter,
yet beneath that sorrow the girl's heart
was besting with Joy at the thought that
so many kind friends had responded snd
made it possible for her to bury her mother
in a manner In keeping with tha years of
love and devotion the mother and daughter
had felt for each other.
Rev. George A. Beechor, dean at Trinity
cathedral, conducted the service at tha
abovo number and spoke a few words of
comfort. The Interment was msde at For
est Lawn cemetery.
The story of Miss Bowker'a grief and lack
of funds to bury the mother she had been
supporting for several years had scarcely
been published In the local papers Friday
afternoon until the telephone of Bralley 4k
Dorrance, undertakers, began to resound
with offers of asrtstnnce.
"There were doxens of people who called
up and offered to assist Miss Bowker In her
hour of need and trial," said Mr. Dorrance.
"We will have a list of the donors on file
at our office."
Response Prompt In Another Caae.
The case of Mra James Nelson (this
name being substituted for the real one), a
widow 27 years of sge, with five smalt chil
dren and all In destitute circumstances, aa
published in The Bee Friday evening, has
brought generous responses from many
noble hearts. One woman In particular
called up The Bee by telephone only a few
hours after the paper waa off the presa and
said she would see tho mother and children
should not want for anything. Her name
was asked, but she said she shunnsd any
publicity in such a matter. She was re
ferred to Superintendent Morris of the As
sociated Charities, through which recog
nized medium she might make glad tha
hearts of the family. Another woman
called up The Bee on the same mission.
Superintendent Morris has quarters In
rooms 1 and 2 of the Capitol avenue market
house, to which place donations of any
kind may be sent Lists of worthy cases
may be seen there and parcels marked for
any particular case will be delivered as
marked.
SAUCE FOR ALL OCCASIONS
Farts About the Delirious Tart Con.
feetlon that Cornea from
Cape Cod.
Eleven million bowls of cranberry ssurel
Such Is Boston's annual consumption of
the delicious tart confection that has mada
Cape Cod famous.
Last year there were sold in Boston
65,494 barrols of cranberries. There are 100
quarts in a barrel, and that would be, In
round numbers 6,600,000 quarts of berries, or
11,000,000 pints. If a pint of berries make
a pint bowl of sauce, aa It Is reasonably
expected to do, Boston bandied the mi.
terials last year for 11,000,000 bowls of
sauce.
While the surply of 1S03 was far In sx
cess of that of 1902, this year's crop la such
that It Is probable the figures for cranber
ries received will equal. If not exceed, those
of last year.
November Is the best month for cran
berries. October is also a goodi month,
but November sees the height of the de
mand. That Is partly on account of people
eating more fowl, on an average, than
earlier In the fall and also on account of
Thanksgiving.
Cranberries are ' eaten by Americans
everywhere at Thanksgiving time, however,
when they are to be had. The consump
tion of the berry is no greater per capita
In New England than elsewhere, though
the prodf.ctlon of the berry Is. Massachu
setts produces' more than 60 per cent of
the cranberries grown In the United States,
and these come chiefly from two counties,
Plymouth and Barnstable.
New Jersey Is the second state in tha
production of cranberries, yielding 25 per
cent of the total crop. Wisconsin Is. third
with about 12 per cent. Maine, Minnesota
and a few other states also raise cranber
ries, chiefly In native bogs, but their total
eutput Is small.
The heart of the cranberry business Is
Cape Cod, and Boston Is the , marketing
depot for the greater part of the product
of the cape bogs. On the cape, a bog will
yield, averaging all of the bogs, 117 bushels
to the acre. In New Jersey the yield le
but twenty-nine bushels to theacre, and In
Wisconsin nineteen.
Practically all the cranberries shipped to
Boston are sold by commission houses, the
berries remaining the property of the
grower until disposed of by ths man to
whom they aye consigned. There are six
large produce houses making a specialty of
cranberries, and several smaller commission
concerns handle them.
The larger houses do not deal with the
public In handling cranberries, but sell
to market men and grocers. They carry a
amall stock, aa the cranberry ia quickly
perishable after once bruised sij packing
and shipment. Carload lots generally rep
resent, the largest shipments from the
cape.
Prices have been known to soar at In
dications of a shortage In the supply or of
a sudden demand. The highest pries In
Boston remembered by old dealers Is 119 a
barrel. Fortunes have been made by grow
ers having a fair stock on hand when
prices began to go up to fancy figures.
With prime , cranberries at 86 a barrel,
the consumer gets them at retail for 10
cents a quart. This price in theory would
give the retail dealer a profit of 100 per
oent. but owing to various causes hs does
well to get a return of 60 per cent. Boston

"I aay, mister," hs began, as he walked
Into a barber shop one market day, while

tell you ths pries I had to take for my

"Mebbe," returned the barber, "but fnct
