Senators Interested in Judge's Con

NO FAVOR SOUGHT FROM ROAD

WASHINGTON. .Ian. 8. The Impro
priety of a federal judge writlnp to an
attorney on otic side or n. case that Iiail
been argrued beforo him, for Information
or argument to clear up doubtful points,
became tlio point around which members
of the senato yeateday fired numerous
'lUestlons at Judge Robert W Archbald of
the United States commerce court, now
under trial by Impeachment for alleged
violation of his federal oath.
Cross-examination of the nccused Jurist,
begun by Representative Sterling, one of
the house managers who are conducting
the prosecution, was virtually taken out
"f his hands when that charge was
reached Involving Judge At-chbalrt's cor
respondence with Attorney Iielm Bruce
"f the Louisville & Nashville railroad.
Members of the senate demanded of
Judge Archbald repeatedly whether lie
did not think It ltnptopfr and unfair to
the other parties In a sult to request of
one attorney an explanation or correction
of evidence without giving like privileges
to the other side. He Insisted he thought
there was nothing Improper In his con
duct. Knit of Cnr Approm-tien. I
Judge Archbald held the witness stand
for nearly four hours. The end of all
testimony in the case camo before the
close of the day's proceedings. There re
main now only the closing nrgumcnts and
the vote of the senate as to whether
Judge Archbald Is guilty of any of the
charges against him. The senate deter
mined to give three days to the argu
pgers will participate, opening nt 1 o'clock
tomorrow.
The Louisville & Nashville charge cen
tered about Judge Archibald's request of
Atorney Bruce for Information as to a
rertaln point in the so-called Montgomery
late cases, which had been n,rgued be
fore the commerce court. Judge Arch
bald said ho had differed with the others
of the court, and In writing a dissenting
opinion ho asked Mr. Bruce to clear up
a controverted question about whether
certain rato changes violated tho old
"Cooley arbitration" agreement that had
long operated over the southwestern
:Ues.
He declared the correspondence beenme
of no consequence because later the other
members of tho court, except Judge Mack,
took n view blmilar to his own and Pre
siding Judge Knapp finally wrote an
opinion favorable to the railroad.
Judge Archbald continued to testify to
day in his defense that none of tho acts
charged against him was wrongufl or Im
proper. The Judge swore that when B. J. Will
iams of Scranton flrBt asked him to com
municate with Cuptaln May, manager of
the Brie railroad coat properties, about
the Katydid culm dump, around which
t-ome of the impeachment charges centsi',
Williams merely asked for a letter of
introduction to May' and had not asked
for the judge's Influence, as is charged.
Representative Sterling asked Judge
Archbald If ho had not declined to write
any letter to Captalfi May until Williams
agreed ,to give him part of the profits
In the deal. Judge Archbald dcnlaU. It.
lie said ho had understood from Williams
from the outset that he was to slia:,
with him in the profits, but ho said ho
had not exacted that as the prlco for tho
taking up of the question with' the Hill
'ide Coal company officials.
MnkcN nil Admission.
Judge ArchbaJd admitted he hail toM
Vice President Urownell of the Erie, ho
wanted to buy the Katydid dump and
that Mr. Brownell introduced him to
Second Vice President Richardson. jId
'lid not remember over having discussed
the Erie lighterage caso with Williams.
Senator Culberson asked how Williams
might have known tho "lighterage" cases
were pending before tho judge.
Judge Archbald said he thoucht Win.
mm P. Roland might havo told him, or'
that Williams might havo overheard him '
talking about tho cases to others. :
Wcnator Works asked Judge Archbald
if it ever had occurred to him "during
the negotiations" that his Judicial posi
tion might Influence the Urle officials'
In his favor.
"I had no Idea of that," said Jucjge
Archbald. "I was dealing with Captain
May and I knew him to well that 1 knew
iiiy official position would hnve no In
fluence with him. J did not e.icct it to
have,"
Senator Culberson aked: "Did It ever
occur to you that In asking favors of
railroads you put yourself under obliga
tion to possible litigants lu your court?" '
"I never consciously asked a favor of "
any railroad." replied Judge Archbald.
I dd not understand that In endeavoring '
to make this deal I was asking n favor
I looked upon It simply as a business
proposition and I believe It was so re
tarded by the company."

WASHINGTON, Jan. S. There Is some
thing radically wrong with tho American
monetary system In the opinion of nil the
witnesses who appeared today beforo the
OInss subcommittee of tho house banking
and currency committee, which began a
series of hearings with tho purpose of

All tho witnesses told the committee that

these ends could bo accomplished were
varied.
Chairman Glass nnnounced Rt the outset
that Inasmuch as tho democratic platform
declnred spcclflcnlly ngnlnst the monetary
commission's central bank, the majority
members of tho committee felt It their
duty to seek a substituto for this plan.

WASHINGTON, Jnn. 8. The chemical

as embodied In the separato bill that '

It is possible that there may be some

several members of the committee fuvor,
