The second charge was not sus- tained, the vote against Judge Arcge bald, 46 to 25, belng two short of t necessary two-thirds. On the third charge, involving the use of influence with the Lehigh Valley railrond to force it to relinquish a lease on “pack- er No. 3,” a coal property which Judge Archbald wanted to secure, the ac- cused jurist was convicted by a vote of 60 to 11. Senators Brandegree, Clark of Wyoming, Crane, Smoot, Ste- phenson and Thornton, who had voted “guilty” on the first article, voted “not guilty” on this charge, Fourth Charge.

RAILROAD CLERKS STILL DISSATISFIED New Haven Company Issues Statement Regarding Concessions. New Haven, Conn, Jan. 13.—The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company tonight issued the following statement relative -to the differences between the clerks and the road: “In the asreement between the clerks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company and the management each man was to receive an increase of fifteen cents per day, all holidays, and vacations during the summer season without 10ss of time, provided this could be granted without additional expense to the company. It carried with it the promotion of men i cordance with their seniority, de- pending upon fitness and ability; over- time to be paid extra after & stipu- lated number of hours; a_minimum rate of pay of $2.00 per day to all men performing all clerical work and §1.90 per day to all others and the sranting of equal consideration to clerks for positions as agents, chief clerks, cashiers, foremen, etc. “The negotiations were concluded on Jantary 11 and the agreement was to become effective on that date. Ac- cording to articles appearing in some of the newspapers, the agreement was to _the clerks. However, the clerks came back today, demanding that the agreement be made retroactive, which the com- pany has not agreed to, so the mat- ter at this time seems to be in an unsettled state.

TESTIMONY BY CHENEY South Manchester Manufacturer De- clares to Committee That Workmen Reap All Benefit of the Tariff. Washington, Jan. 138.—Free rough and dressed lumber, hewn and squar- ed timber, shingles laths and fence posts, retention of approximately the present high tariff on the higher grades of silks and reductions in the cheaper silks used by the common people, and a penalizing, drastic bar to shut out “dynamited” silks, were indicated to- day as parts of the expected democrat- ic revision programme. Free Meats May Be Included. The house committee on ways and means deveted the day to hearings on the wood and silk schedules of the tariff law, and when the testimony and examinations were closed the senti- ment favored the inclusion of these provisions, possibly together with free meats in the tentative tariff plan the committee will frame to submit to the extra session of congress. Women Will Buy, Regardless of Price. The burden of testimony on the wooden schedule was a plea for the preservation of the present tariff rates. Silk, involving immense interests, pre- sent a complexity of technicalities per- haps greater than in any of the other thirteen schedules of the tariff. “Silks,” according to Horace B. Cheney of South Manchester, Conn,, as spokes- man for the silk manufacturers of the country, ,“depend upon fashion; if women want them they’ll pay the amount they have to get it.” “Silks a Luxury,” Says Underwood. ‘Women always want something that looks fancy, sald C. A. Streuli of New York, while joining with Samuel Kri- del, another importer,in protest against the present tariff on velvets. ribbons and other things. “Silks are a luxury, that is most silks,” commented Chairman Under- wood of the committee. - French Velvet Trust F. E. Kip of Bridgeport testified that he knew there was a syndicate of vel- vet manufacturers in France that im- pose contracts binding buyers from them for @ three vear period and al- lowing rebates of 10 per cent. denied where a buyer deals with anyone out- side of the trust, and that this com- bination stretches out so as to com- _promise 90 per cent. of the silk velvet manufacturers of France, Germany and England. Duty Goes to Workmen. Representative Palmer of Pennsyl- vanal, democrat, made a persistent ex- amination of Witness Cheney, designed to bring out that the silk manufactur- ers wanted to keep as high as possible the rates of the cheaper silks that ap- peal to the mechanic and workman class, asked if the duty on these cheaper silks did not actually go to the manufacturer. “No,” replied Mr. Cheney. “Tt gaes to the workmen. For every dollar vou might get by reducing the tariff yvou would take two dollars away from the workmen through decreased wages.” High Duty on Cheap Siiks. Mr. Cheney agreed that if the com- mittee should rewrite the silk sched- ule it would be practicable to make some changes to equalize points of minor i{mportance. Mr. Palmer ob- served that the present rates on the cheaper silk goods were practically prohibitive. some articles are very nearly prohibi- tive. “The cheapest velvets and plushes,” insisted Mr. Balmer, “do not come in at all?” “Not to any large extent,” the witness. MOTION PICTURE FILMS DESTROYED BY FIRE. replied Plant of Thanhouser Company at New Rochelle Burned. New Rochelle, N. Y., Jan. 13—Many motion picture films, some of them procured at great cost, went up in a burst of flame that swept over the plant of the Thanhauser Moving Pic- ture company here today. The plant covered more than an acre in area and the blaze seemed to break out in a dozen places at once. A bevy of act- resses at rehearsal had scant time for escape. The loss is estimated at near- 1y $250,000, mostly in films that can- not be replaced. - LAUNDRYMAN ACCUSES BARBER OF SLASHING HIM. Bridgeoort Chinaman Has Three Long Wounds in Back.

OF WAR WILL BE DISAPPROVED / MODERATION ADYISED Ambassadors Have Interviews With Heads of Bulgarian and Turkish Del- egatfons in Effort to Bring Peace. London, Jan. 13.—Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, and the ambassadors of the powers, are mak- ing valiant efforts to bring about a settlement between “Turkey and the Balkan alllies in the direction of peace. They have had additional interviews with Dr. Daneff and Rechad Pasha, the heads of the Bulgarian and Turkish delegations respectively, advising mod- eration on beth sides and warning that either party, if through obstinacy it *should plungé Europe into war again, would incur a heavy weight®f disapproval. = It is Up to Constantinople. The meeting of the ambassadors to- day was the lengthiest yet held. They discussed the note to be presented to the porte passage by passage, aiming to meet every possible argument likely to be raised by the Turks. The general impression among the plenipotentiaries is that. the definite decision on war or peace must come trom Constantinople. Whatever con- cessions and compromises the Balkan league may make the allies will never consent to the renunclation of Adri- anople, which the Tuks make the sine qua non of peace. Strong Faith in Grand Vizier. Much is hoped from Kiamil Pasha, the grand vizier, a man of great abil- ity and extraordinary influence. He is perhaps the most powerful among the Ottoman statesmen. He has succeed- ed in restoring the good relations be- tween Turkev and the triple entente, and thus far has been able to prevent the powers from taking an active anti- Turkish attitude. Making Use of Their Relatives. While progress towards peace is at a standstill here, the Balkan delega- tions are endeavoring to obtain ad- vantages for themselves in the parti- tion ‘of the conquered country. The kings of Bulgaria, Greece and Monte- negro are working actively among their relatives and friends on the ihrones of Furope to influence the powers in fav- of of the claims of their countries. As the moment for a decision ap- proaches their efforts become more Strenuous. It is known that they have sent special envoys to some of the cap- itals to support the work of their res- ular diplomats. ' Greeks Still Fighting. The Greeks, unhampered by the arm- istice which binds the other allies, are continuing the fighting in Epirus, where even today sharp encounters took place with the Turks.
