Judge Is Stripped of Office
for "High Crimes and .
Misdemeanors"
IS FOREVER DISQUALIFIED
Guilty on Five of 13 Charges Sn
tence Imposed by Senator Bacon.
68 Vote "GulltyT -Oone no
Wrong,' Says Judge. " "
Washington, Jan. ; 13. Robert W.
Arc.hbald, of Scrantoh, Pa., for 2
years an occupant of judicial positions
upon the Pennsylvania bench,. the Fed
eral district bench and .the United
States Commerce Court," today was ad
judged guilty by the "United States
Senate of "high Crimea and misde
meanors"; was stripped of office and
forever disqualified from holding posi
tions of public honor qr public trust.
The conviction of, tlm jurist came as
the conclusion of , the V impeachment
trial that has been pending in the Sen
ate since last Summer, on charges
that Judge Archbald had been guilty
of misconduct and misbehavior . as a
judge and that he had corruptly used
his judicial power-to further the pri
vate interests - of himself - and; his
friends, in the acquisition of coal lanid
properties in Pennsylvania. .
Upon five of the 13 separate charges
brought against him by the House of
Representatives Judge Archbald was
found guilty. ' ' - -. -. v.' - . . ' .
Upon the other eight the Senate vot
ed him not guilty, the majority in some
cases being against him, but failing of
the two-thirds ; necessary for . convic
tion. Any one of the "five verdicts of
guilty was enough to bring about the
punishment imposed upon him. .
The end qf the 'long1 .fought struggle
in the Senate came pearly Jn the. after-,
noon, when the vote fras talten, jon the
first article of impeachment.,. .With
gallery doors loeked.fstc prevent the
movement Of spectators,, and an unac
customed hush " prevailing throughout
the chamber, 68 Senators rose in their
places as their, Barnes were called and
pronounced the word "guilty" in ' al
most inaudible tones. .The vote on the
first charge, that Judge Archbald had
corruptly influenced officials, of the
Erie Railroad to sell him the Katydid
culm dump at Scrahton, resulted in his
conviction by a vote of 68 to 5. Nine
teen Senators were absent or not vot
ing. "
In a little committee room off the
gallery floor behind a guarded door,
Judge Archbald, his wife" and his son
Hugh, sat throughout the afternoon as
the Senate voted , Upon the charges
against him. The news of , the first
vote of conviction was carried to him
by his son from the gallery. After
sentence had been imposed upon him
Judge Archbald and his family left the
Capitol, to go at once to the family
home at Scranton.
"I have always known that I have
done no wrong and the vote of no one
makes it otherwise," was his only com
ment pon the Senate's action. - '
Sentence was imposed by Senator
Bacon, of Georgia, the presiding offi
cer, after the Senate had, by a vote of
39 to 35 upheld a resolution offered
by Senator O'Gorman, of New York,
authorizing the full penalty provided
by the constitution.
"The Senate, therefore, does and de
crees," said Senator Bacon, "and it is
hereby adjudged that the respondent,
Robert W. Archbald, judge df the Cir
cuit 'Court of the United States for the
Third Judicial District and designated
to serve in the Commerce Court, be,
and he is hereby removed from office
and' that he be, and hereby is forever
qualified to hold, and enjoy any of
fife of honor, trust or profit under ttfe
United States." -
The sentence of the Senate became
operative at once and directions were
gven that the President and the
House of Representatives be notified
of the verdict and the punishment im
posed. 7 i
f the 10 men who have been im
peached before the' Senate since the
J"sanization of the government, Judge
Archbald is the third !to be convicted
and the only one convicted who ap
peared to make a personal defense
against charges. . : '' .
Noting on the Charges began as soon
as the impeachment court had been
organized at 1 o'clock. On each of
t-e articles, Senator Bacon, after the
ecretary had read the charge to the
-enate, put the formal question:
enators, how say, you, is this rei
j'ondent, Robert W. Archbald, guilty

All Efforts to Free the Steamer Ura

... 'v Safely Transferred
V'
Halifax, N. S., January IS. So
firm and fast is the steamer Uranium
lodged on the roeSs near Chebucto
head, where she ran aground in yes
terday's fog, that no amount of strain
ing by the fleet of nine tugs pulled
her a foot toward liberty this after
noon. After three ineffective attempts
to float her, one of which threatened
to land another vessel, the tug Scots
man, on the ledge beside here, Cap
tain Eusface decided he,. would have ttf
lighter the ship before she could be
extricated. '
Of the 880 passengers who were
trans-shipped to rescue r craft, many
left here for their destination1 during
the day. j Six hundred and forty-three,

tion inspectors during : the afternoon,

The Uranium lies tonight on an al
most even keel, with her forward bulk
head stove in and two more feet of
water in it than she had last night.
Captain Eustace believes she will; be
pulled off the rocks and will float
when she is freed, but some of-those
Working to extricate her are not so
certain of- this. : .Life preservers lie
heaped on her deck ready for instant
use, for should the wind shift and the
sea run strong there is danger that
she might "break in two. The cargo,
which. Captain Eustace ordered remov
ed, weighs about 1,400 tons.
It was while playing a good Samari
tan en the seas that the Uranium came
to grief, Captain Eustace said today.
Bound from Rotterdam to New York,
turned out of her course on January
9th to answer a wireless call for help.
The message was from the steamer
Carthagenian. It said that , fire was
raging aboard and that it. wag-beyond
control. .
'For three days the Uranium groped
through the fog trying to find and suc
cor the burning vessel, then the Car
thagenian sent word by wireless that
the fire was. subdued. The Uranium
retraced -her tracks, reaching' the en
trance to Halifax harbor in a dense
fog. The Egg Island buoy was sight
ed, but not the intervening buoy ana
without this to guide her the uranium
crashed into Chebucto head light.

S TO CHANGE
CUSTOMS SERVICE
Treasury Department Will
Shortly. Begih, Work of
Reorganization
ABOLISH SEVERAL OFFICERS
Naval Officers and Surveyors Will be
Done Away With Sub-ports Will
' - be Consolidated With
Ports of Entry.
Washington, Jan. 13. The Treasury
Department's tentative plan for the
reorganization cf the; customs ser
vice, it was . learned j today, contem
plates the abolition of all customs na
val officers and surveyors of customs,
qoifining: the port administration ; to
collectors and deputy collectors.
.It also is the department's intent ibn
to deprive the collectors at ports aloiig
the Great Lakes' and the Canadian bor
der of their present - perequisites for
the sale , of manifest Iblanks and to
turn this revenue into the treasury.
At Bome of ,-the smallest ports, where
the salary of the collector is only $2,
500, : fees from the sales of .manifests
are believed by officials to raise their
compensation to a large amount, even
15,00Q or ?20,000 in some instances.
At New.York and all actual seaports,
the collector, years ago, lost the re
turns from the. sale of ) manifests. ,
When former President Chester A.
Arthur was collector at New York, he
like others, was paid on a commission
and fee basis and his compensation is
said to have reacnea over 7 fiuu.uuo a
year. This situation drew tne atten
tion of Congress, and tall "seaports
were placed on a strictly salary basis.
The principle, however, has never been
extended , to some lake
border ports. , -
The abolition of the
Will mark the passing
and Canadian
naval officers
of one of the
most historic characters In the history
of the United States, t He is a relic of
thjeEoIbhiard
part of , the British Empire, a local man
was appointed as a collector of cus
toms at the various ports and the King
of England sent over a naval officer as
his personal representative to check
up the operations of the collector. The
position thus had its beginning and
the duties of the naval " officer . has
grown , until treasury officials claim
that he amounts to. a second collector.
These seven ports have naval officers :
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Chicago, New Orleans and San
Francisco. The salary at New York
is $8,000 and at the others $5,000.
In reducing the' existing 165 customs
districts ' to less than 50, the
Treasury Department's plan pro
vides for placing each district
in charge of a colector . and
each port in charge of a deputy col
lector. . No existing port will be abol
ished and many sub-ports will be
made ports. ' There is keen rivalry for
the headquarters of each district,
which will be the office of the collector,-
The treasury officials maintain
this location means little or nothing.
In.New York State the existing 10
districts will be reduced to four, with
headquarters at-New York' City, Buf
falo, Rochester and Ogdensburg. The
State of Ohio and Erie county, Pa.,
will constitute one district, with Cleve
land ; as headquarters. Cincinnati is
strongly clamoring for the location of
the collector.
Nothing is known about the details
of other ports. F. M. Halstead, chief
of . the customs divisions, returned to
Washington today from ' Norfolk and
Newport News, where he investigated
the claims of these cities to the head
quarters of the Virginia customs dis
trict. . Both cities will submit briefs
before Mr. Halstead makes his report
to Secretary MacVeagh. j The Treasu
ry; Department had intended making
Newport News the office of the col
lector 'because more1 merchandise is
impprted there than at Norfolk.
SURVEY THE SITUATION.
important Year in Suffrage Movement,
V Says President Shaw.
New York, Jan. 13. A general sur
vey of the woman suffrage situation
throughout the United S States, with
fresh reports from all of the States, is
planned by suffrage organizations 'of
New York at a mass meeting in Car
negie Hall February 17th. Dr. : Anna
Howard Shaw president of the Nation
al organization, declares that this is
going to" be one of the most important
years in the history of the movement.
"We -expect ..the 'Legislatures of sev
eral States , to pass on the suffrage
amendment in the next few weeks,"
she said, "It is sure to pass in Michi
gan, for; the men are very indignant
over, the ; treatment the women there
received last year when the amend
ment was said to be defeated by. a close
vote. We might have demanded a re
count, but we decided to let the mat
ter come Up at the April election when
the country vote is -also strong.: The
country.vote has carried suffrage
against the city vote in j every State
except Kansas and there they have
municipal suffrage for Jaany years,
which! proves that women do use the
suffrage when they have it." .
Dr. Shaw- said South Dakota; Tennessee,-
Maine, Missouri and Montana
were among the .most , hopeful States
this year, and hat Kentucky-and Vir
ginia both were enthusiastic.

In-
Trenton, N., J; Jah. 13. -CoVernor
Wijson, for whom th? majority of the
States in the Uhiou today H officially
cast their electoral-votes fdr the Presi
dency, proclafmed ina speech to the
New Jersey Presidential electors that
he interpreted' bis election as the dis
tinct expression 7.of the " progressive
impulses of the country. .
"I shall not; be acting as a partisan
when I pick out progressives, and-only
progressives, to aid nie," the Governor
said in, : analyzing, th spirit ; that he
said had produced his election. The
Governor predicted division .in the
counsels of the Democratic-party; but
foresaw solidarity. , ' ., '
"These Democrats,- he said, "who
hitherto have been slow to align them
selves with the progressive banner of
the party are everywhere yielding.
The business men of .the country, too,,
are swinging around' to an unselfish
and broader view . of their - duties to
the people." ' .
The speech was delivered at-a lunch
eon given the electors by ' the Demo
cratic State Executive. Committee, just
before the official ballot was cast... It
was the last- public speech Governor
Wilson will make before . his inaugu
ration. '; I I .
"I feel that it woul4 be unbecoming

today in any other tone than that of a

seen that the people of the-United
States have taken a definite Choice.
I happen , to be one of the instruments
through whom that choice, is express
ed, -but I am for the time, and that
choice is for the long future. The
people of the United States have turn
ed their faces In a definite direction,
and any party, any man who does not
go ; with them in thate (direction ' they,
will reject, and they ought to reject.
"Therefore, in looking forward to
the responsibilities that I am about to
assume,' I feel first, last and all the
time that l am acting in a representa

pret as well as I can the purposes of
the people of the United States and to
act, so far as my choice determines
the action, only through the instru
mentality of persons who also repre
sent that choice. I have no liberty in
the matter. I have given bonds, my
sacred honor is involved, and nothing
more could be involved. Therefore, I
shall not .be acting as a partisan when
I pick out progressives and, only pro
gressives: I shall be acting- asa rep
resentative of-the people of this great
country and therefore, it is a matter
of supreme pleasure to me to find in
every direction as I turn about from
one group of men to another, that
men's minds and men's consciences
