ABQHBALD IS GUILTY COMMERQE COURT JUDO I BARRED BY 8ENATE FROM v HOLDING FEDERAL OFFICE. JURIST OUSTED FROM BENCH Convicted Man. in Anteroom of tht House, I* Utterly Crushed When He Learned the Extent of the Verdfct Against Him. Washington, Jan. 15.--Robert W. Arch bald, judge of the commerce court, one of the most important tri­ bunals in the land, was found guilty Monday on five of the thirteen counts brought against him in the United States senate. On the first count only five of the 73 senators voting supported Archbald. He was by the following resolution of the senate removed from his high office and forbidden evfer again to hold an office of profit or honor under the United States government: "The sen­ ate does, therefore, order and decree, and it is hereby adjudged that the re­ spondent, Robert W. Archbald. circuit Judge for the United States for the Third Judicial circuit and designated to serve in the commerce court, be and he is hereby removed from office and that he be and is hereby forever disqualified to hold and enjoy any of­ fice of honor, trust or profit under the United States." Judge Arch bald 's wife watched the voting on the thirteen counts from the senate gallery and remained tin the end although the first vote told her that her husband had been stripped of his judicial robes. His son. Robert W,^A.rchbald, Jr., who has acted as his counsel, sat on the floor of the senate apparently unmoved through the long session. Archbald himself fumed and fretted in a com­ mittee room on the gallery floor. He was utterly crushed when he learned the extent of the verdict against him and retiring to his home, refused to see or talk with anyone. The scene as the senatorial jury was delivering its verdict was as Im­ pressive as it was unusual. One by one the senators rose in their places as their names were called and an­ swered "guilty" or "not guilty.** Some of them spoke In very low tones. All were apparently affected by the solemnity of the occasion. The overwhelming vote against Archbald on the first count, which had to do with the coercion at the Erie railroad to enter into a contract with him for the purchase of a culm bank, was sufficient to establish the fate of the respondent. - A Conviction on any of the five counts meant re­ moval from the bench. On this count Senators Bnrnham, Penrose, Oliver, Paynter and Catron were the only members of the Benate who voted to support Archbald. All the rest, including Hoot, Crane and Smoot. the senate representatives of the president who placed Archbald on the commerce court, were constrained by the force of the evidence to vote against him. A difference of opinion as to the degree of culpability saved him from conviction on eight counts, but so profound was the belief of the sena­ tors in his unfitness that they visited on him the severest penalty in their Power, when, after a brief secret ses­ sion, thdy fixed punishment by resolu­ tion. The house prosecuting committee, led by Representatives Clayton of Alabama and Sterling of Illinois, whose energetic prosecution of the case resulted in the present humiliat­ ing conviction, sat without a change of expression through the afternoon. Senator O'Gorman of New York when ihe last vote was taken moved that it be ordered by the senate that Judge Archbald be removed from the bench and forbidden ever to hold of­ fice of profit or honor under the gov­ ernment. Oliver of Pennsylvania, who, with his colleague. Penrose, had voted to support Archbald, a Pennsyl­ vania man, moved that this resolution be divided. This motion prevailed. By viva voce vote and without dis­ sent the senate decided that Archbald must be removed A vote of 39 to S6 disqualified him from holding any future office. STIRS BUSINESS MEN •OVERNOR WIL80N APPEALS AND WARNS IN COMMERCIAL CLUB .. . 7£.jsv.'-g'-1-1' "VgB'"1 TREMENDOUS LOCK GATES AT GATUR» " v. SAYS MONOPOLY MUST END Declares Public Good Must, Be Put Above Private Aggrandizement-- Uses Plain Words Regarding Re­ cent Money Trust Revelations. Trenton, N. J., Jan. 14.--Arriving in Trenton Monday morning from Chi­ cago Governor Wilson was the guest at the banquet at the Hotel Sterling tendered to him by the presidential electors, members of the New Jersey legislature, members of the state com­ mute and others. Chicago. Jan. 14.--Speaking at a banquet given by the Commercial club of Chicago Saturday night, Wood- row Wilson. thev president-elect, de­ livered an earliest appeal and a warn­ ing to the btflltfeaa men of the coun­ try. To the three hundred bankers, mer­ chants. lawyers, railroad men and op­ erating officials of public utilities mho filled the Blackstone dining-room. Mi. Wilson spoke in an ordinary conver­ sational tone., There was not a man present who did not at some time feel that Gov­ ernor Wilson's remarks hit him per­ sonally. They applauded frequently and at the right periods--with one no­ table exception. That was when the president-elect declared that monop­ oly must end. He halted for a mo­ ment and then with a whimsical smile remarked: "I see you do not applaud that!" A scattering salvo of handclapping started, but It was not strong enough to drown Mr. Wilson's: "I am disappointed.*' The business men of the country were told bluntly that the peaceable success of the new administration de- , pended on their co-operation, and that I without it the president would fight i for victory. They also were told that no man who did not put the pub­ lic good above private aggrandize­ ment--be he politician, merchant, or persona] friend--could have influence with or part in the administration. Four lines of Mr. Wilson's coming endeavor were set forth. They may be summarised as follows: The country must husband and ad­ minister, not exploit, its common re­ sources for the common welfare, with the idea of conservation--not reser­ vation. The raw material of the country must be at the disposal of every one on equal terms, the government not determining the terms, but guarantee­ ing against discrimination. Credit must be at the disposal of all on equal terms. In no other way can dangerous class prejudice be re­ moved. The bankers must see it Is done. Every feature of monopoly must be removed. Governor Wilson spoke with the ut­ most frankness about the recent rev­ elations regarding the money trust. "1 am not indicting the banking methods," he said. "The banking sys­ tem does not need to be Indicted. It is already indicted. I have reason to believe from things which have been said under oath that there are inner and outer circles of credit, regions qf chilly exclusion, and regions of warm inclusion. This must be changed. Some of the men who 'run the game' attend to run it fairly, of course. But the country is not going to grow rich by the efforts of those who are 'in' now, but by those who are 'out' now." Mr. Wilson urged that all prejudice cease. He specified sectional preju­ dice and showed a hope that his elec­ tion. that of a man of southern birth, would show that the southerner is not of dlffierent breed from the northern­ er. And then he pleaded for the ef­ forts of the business men to dissolve the class prejudice. m •- i j i | <>o the visitor to the Panama canal m does ifce immense sue of iae toek gaies at Ga- tun.

Decision Regarded as Limiting In Lsrge Measure the Power of the Middlemen. New York. Jan. 11.--The govern­ ment's petition for a permanent in­ junction against the Eastern States Retail Lumber Dealers' association, al­ leged to be a combination in restraint of trade, was granted by the federal district court here Thursday. The defendants include also the New York Lumber Trade association, the Building Material Men's associa­ tion, the New Jersey Lumbermen's protective association, the Retail Lumbermen's association of Baltimore, the Lumber Exchange of the District of Columbia and others. Washington, Jan. 11.--The govern­ ment's victory at New York against the so-called lumber trust is regarded by officials of the department of jus­ tice as one of the most important ac­ complishments under the Sherman an­ ti-trust law, because it limits in large measure the power and privileges of the much-discussed "middleman." The decision is construed here as meaning that the consumer of lumber, untramftieled by the retailer, may pur­ chase direct from the wholesaler or manufacturer, and the latter may sell direct to the public without interfer­ ence by a combination of retailers. There rtill are pending lumber trust cases constituting In the aggregate a nation-wide move. TRUST QUIZ Hie GEORGE F. BAKER DECLINE8 TO GIVE STATEMENT REGARDING DEALS IN S^cCHMTIES.

Washington, Jan. 13.--While exam­ ining George Baker Friday the house money trust investigating com­ mittee struck a snag when it tried to trace the joint operation of Mr. Ba­ ker with J. P. M or gall in the handling of Issues of securities by railroads and industrial corporations, as well as the joint interest of the two men in banks and trust companies in New York and throughout the country. Mr. Untermyer asked Mr. Baker if he could supply a statement of the acounts by which the First National bank jointly with other institutions handled through syndicates issues of securities. The witness said his coun­ sel had advised him that to demand this information was beyond the pow­ ers of the committee. The facts were not known ID detail by the comptrol­ ler of the currency and he believed the committee had no right to demand them to be exposed to the public. A long conference between Mr. Ba­ ker. Fisher A. Baker and former Sen-> ator John C. Spooner. his counsel, end­ ed with a request that the question be passed to allow counsel to consid er the legal phases. A statement of the deposits of the First National bank was placed on record. Mr. Baker said he believed the average deposits were about $100,000.- 000. On November 1 the bank had 149 accounts with balances of $29,676,- 227.44. Mr. Untermyer went back to Mr. Ba­ ker's opposition to the publicity of banlc assets, but he was unable to shake the financier's attitude. Mr. Baker testified that the securi­ ties turned over by the First National bank to the First Securities company were largely of companies in which he was a director or a voting trustee. Mr. Untermyer tried in vain to have him testify that the First Securities com­ pany and the First National bank were operated practically as a single con­ cern. Mr. Baker. In concluding his testi­ mony before the committee, dented the existence of a money trust, but admitted that the safety of the pres­ ent financial situation depended on the personnel of a few men. He said he thought further combination would be dangerous. He regards Morgan as a great general.

How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hungry nearly all the time! Nature never intended this should be so, for we are given a thing called appetite that should guide us as to what the system needs at any time and can digest. But we get in a hurry, swallow our food very much as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and perverted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you are-- indigestion and its accompanying mis­ eries. A Phila. lady said: "My husband and I hare been rick and nervous for 16 or 20 years from drinking coffee--feverish, indigestion, totally unfit, a good part of the time, for work or pleasure. W/a actually dreaded to eat our meals. (Tea is just as injurious, because it contains caffeine, the same drag found In oof- fee.) "We tried doctors and patent medi­ cines that counted up into hundreds of dollars, with little if any benefit "Accidentally, a small package of Poetum came into my hands. I made some according to directions, with surprising results. We both liked it and have not used any coffee since. "The dull feeling after meals has left us and we feel better every way. We are so well satisfied with Postum that we recommend it to our friends who have been made sick and nervous and miserable by coffee." Name giv­ en upon request. Read the little book, "The .
