Washington, D. C. Jan. 13.—By a decision of the senate today, Judge Robert W. Archbald can no longer sit in the United States commerce court. He was found guilty by the over- whelming vote of 68 to 5 on the firat “lof the thirteen articles of impeach- ment. The vote on the ore article disqualifies the jurist even if he is found not guilty on the other twelve articles. The case has been before the sen- ate on impeachment proceeding from the house sisce congress opened. Archbald was accused of having act- ed for his own interests in several Pennsylvania coal cases and that he was otherwise involved in cases which had come before his court.

Postoffice officials also said Satur- day afternoon that a number of com- plaints that the new parcel post zone maps were in error were founded on a misapprehension by which the country was divided into districts. It was said patrons frequently overlook- ed the fact that some cities are not situated in the exact center of a unit Bemidji was awarded one point from a foul by a Grand Rapids player. The Grand Rapids players were fast. but showed lack of practise and were un- able to break up Bemidji’s- team work. _ They took their defeat in good spirit, however, admitting that Bemidji’ had the faster team. After ‘the game both teams and several young people from Grand Rapids and Bemidji, gathered in the 0dd Fellows’ hall where a dance was glven by local team. The game was some being done away with altogeth- er and others being consolidated. The number of employes is reduced by t{wenty-two and the pay of some cut down. SKRIVSETH SELLS GOOD BOAR J. N.
