Charles Swayne, United States Dis trict Judge, lyo.'i, tried and ac quitted. Robert W. Archbald. Judge of United States Commerce Court, 1012 l;t, tried, found guilty and removed from office. In a century and a quarter there have been only nine impeachment proceed ings agairmt a civil officer of he United States Government official in stituted in the United States Senate and, until the conviction of Judge Robert W. Archbald yesterday, only two of the trials had resulted in con viction. Both the others found guilty were judges of the Federal District Court. Of those who failed of convic tion, one was a Secretary of War, one a. Justice of the United States Supreme Court, one a President and two District Court judges. The first impeachment in the history of the country, that of William Blount, a United States Senator from Tennes see, resulted in "no trial." Blount in 1797 was concerned In what is known as "Blount's conspiracy," which pro vided for an attack by a force of Amer icans and British, aided by Indians, on Spanish settlements in Louisiana and Florida. ,The House of Representatives Impeached him, but the Senate decided it had no authority to act, inasmuch as the House had already expelled him as a member. Blount returned to Tennes see, where he retrained his popularity and subsequently served as President of the State Senate. JudKe PickrrtnK Convicted. The first actual impeachment trial of a Federal officer was that of Judge John Pickering of the United States District Court of New Hampshire, and resulted in conviction. Judge Picker ing was impeached in 180S for drunken ness, profanity from the bench, and with Imprisonment of an attorney for contempt of court. Evidence submitted showed that he was really insane and this later proved to be the. case. He was removed from office but the judg ment did not reach to a disqualification from holding office. The two greatest impeachment trials of American history, those of Justice Chase and President Johnson, were in reality political trials. Both originated in political differences. Samuel Chase, a sisner of the Dec laration of Independence, was tem peramentally better fitted to be proce cuting attorney than a judge. His intimate friendship with Washington and his .uncompromising adherence to Vederal principles aroused the wrath of the Republican, leaders In Congress and marked him for attack. He was impeached for showing partisanship but after a dramatic trial was acquitted in 1S05. James .Peck. Federal District Judge in Missouri, wrote and published in the newspapers In 1826 a decision he had rendered. A lawyer reviewed the decision in print and was imprisoned for contempt of court. The House impeached Judge Peck in 1829 but the Senate sustained the official 21 to 22. Civil M ar Leads lo Imneaehment. Impeachment proceedings were not aaln resorted to until 1862, when West H. Humphries. United States District Judge In Tennessee, was Impeached for having delivered a public speech of a treasonable nature and for having ac cepted office tinder the Confederate Government. The facts wero easily susceptible of proof and after a short trial Judge Humphries was convicted and forever precluded from holding Federal office. The impeachment trial of President Johnson was the most famous. It fol lowed a year and a half struggle be tween the Executive and Congress. In 1868 the House impeached the Presi dent on charges dealing wilh the re moval of Secretary of War Stanton. After a long and brilliant trial, a vote was 35 for conviction and 19 for ac quittal, one vote short of the required number to convict. The vote stood the same until the Senate adjourned. Secretary of War Belknap, in 1876, was impeached by the House on charges that he had made a corrupt bargain with an appointee to a post tradership and that his personal profits were $20,000. Secretary Belknap re signed at once. President Grant ac cepted the resignation and the Senate voted 37 for conviction and 25 for ac quittal. 23 of the 25 voting for ac quittal saying they did so only In the belief that the resignation had put Secretary Belknap beyond the jurisdic tion of the Senate. The last case, until Judge Archbald was impeached, was that of Charles Swayne, Federal Judge of the North District of Florida. He was charged with falsifying his expense accounts, impeached in December, 1904, and tried and acquitted by the Senate in 1905. Pardee to Carry California Vote. SACRAMENTO, Cal.. Jan. 13.

(Continued From First Page. ) the full penalty provided by the Con stitution. "The Senate therefore do order and decree." said Senator Bacon, "and it is hereby adjudged, that the respondent, 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 hereby is removed from office, and that he be and hereby is, forever disqualified to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States. Sentence Operative at Once. . The sentence of the Senate became operative at once, and directions were given that the President and the House of Representatives be notified of the verdict and the punishment Imposed. Of the 10 nen who have been im poached before the Senate since the or ganization 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 the, charges brought by the House of Representatives. Voting .on the charges began as soon as the impeachment court had been re organized at 1 o'clock. On each of the articles. Senator Bacon, after the sec retary had read the charges to the Sen ate, put the formal question: "Senators, how say you, is the re spondent, Robert W. Archbald, guilty or not guilty as charged in this article?" Each Senator, under the rule, rose in his seat and gave his verdict. Corrupt Influence Charged. The first article charged that Judge Archbald had gone to officials of the Krle Railroad, while that road had a suit pending in the Commerce Court, and had corruptly influenced them to agree to g(ve him a favorable option on the Katydid culm dump. The senators who voted to acquit on the first article were: Burnham of New Hampshire, Catron of New Mexico, Oliver and Penrose of Pennsylvania and Paynter of Kentuckv. the first article: Ashurst. Bankhead, Borah. Bourke, Brandegee. Bristow, Brown, Bryan, Burton, Chamberlain, Clapp. Clarke of Wyoming, Crane, Craw ford, Culberson, Culiom, Cummins, Cur tis, Dixon, Dupont. Fletcher. Foster, Gallinger, Gqre, Gronna. Hitchcock, Johnson, Jones. Kenyon, La Follette, Llppitt, Lodge, McCumber, McLean, Martin, Martlne, Myers. Nelson, New lands. O'Gorman, Owen, Perkins. Perky, Poindexter, Pomerene, Reed, Richard son, Root, Sanders, Shively. Simmons, Smith of Maryland. Smith of Georgia, Smith of Arizona. Smith of Georgia, Smith of Maryland, Smoot, Stephenson, Stone. Swanson, Thornton. Townsend, Warren. Wetmore. Williams, Works, Page and Sutherland. Senators Helskell of Arkansas and Johnston of Texas were excused from voting because they did not hear the. evidence. Ten Senators Absent. Senators Overman, Johnston of Ala bama. Briggs, Fall and Smith of Michl tran, Kern, Diljingham. Tillman, Jack son of Maryland and Clarke of Arkan sas were absent. The second charge was not sustained. the vote against Judge Archbald, 46 to 2o. being two short of the necessary two-thirds. On the third charge, in volving the use of his influence with the Lehigh Valley Railroad to force it to relinquish a lease on "Packer No. 3," a coal property which Judge Arch bald wished to secure, the accused jurist was convicted by a vote of 60 to 11. .Senators Brandegee, Clark of Wy oming. Crane. Smoot. Stephenson and Thornton, who had voted "guilty" on the first article, voted "not guilty" on this charge. Another verdict of guilty came on the fourth charge that Judge Archbald wrongfully had written to Helm Bruce, an attorney for the Louisville & Nash ville Railroad, to secure his assistance in preparing a decision in a case then before the Commerce Court. The vote on this charge was 52 to 20. Additional Senators who voted "not guilty" on this charge were: Burton. Culiom. Dupont, Gallinger, Lippitt, McCumber, Root, Sutherland, Swanson, Warren and Wet- more, whiV Senator Thornton voted "guilty." All but Six Desert Archbald. ' On the fifth charge, that he corruptly influenced officials of the Reading Railroad to grant a coal land lease to Frederick Warnke. and had received compensation for this service. Judge Archbald received the support of but six Senators: Burnham, Catron, Clark of Wyoming, Oliver, Paynter and Pen rose. He was convicted 66 to 6 on this article. On the last article of impeachment, alleging that Judge Archbald had sought credit from attorneys and liti gants before him and had carried on a general business in coal land speculations,- many Senators asked to be ex cused from voting, declaring the charges were so general they could not conscientiously vote either way. The final vote resulted in conviction on this article also, 42 to 20. Judge Archbald received majorities in his favor on seven of the charges against him, besides the acquittal on the second article of which the two thirds vote against him was not ob tained. On the charge that he had wrongfully accepted a purse of $500 raised among Scranton attorneys, the vote was 65 (not guilty) and 1 (guilty), the single vote being cast by Senator Ashurst, of Arizona. Debate Hot Permitted. Although no debate was permitted during the progress of the voting, many Senators asked to be excused from vot ing on centain charges because they did not believe the Senate had author ity to take up acts committed by Judge Archbald before he was appointed to the Commerce Court; or because they believed the acts that might be charac terized as "misbehavior" were not such as to constitute "high crimes and mis demeanors," Involving the extreme penalty of the Constitution. At the conclusion of the case today Representative Clayton, one of the seven members of the House who con ducted the prosecution of the case, gave out the following statement: "This Is the third successful impeach ment in the history of rtie United States. In the other cases. Judge Pick ering, who was insane, did not appear at all, and Judge Humphreys had cast his lot with the Confederacy and was within the Confederate lines. "Today's result proves the efficiency of the process provided by the Consti tution for the removal of unfaithful of Icers and gives life and vitality to the orderly method of impeachment. It also establishes beyond successul fu ture dispute that the scope of impeach ment is not limited to criminal acts merely but that the clause fixing the tenure of Federal Judges to 'during good behavior," has a broader signifi cance, and, in fact, means just what it says. The appointment of Federal judges by the President and their con firmation by the Senate is the. exercise of a 'political' power and the unseating of a judge is the exercise of a 'politi cal' power by the Senate representing the states and the people."

Mr. Schiff and Mr. Vanderltp are James N. Wallace, Robert Goelet and E. P. Swenson. Julius Kruttschnltt resigned as vice president of the Union Pacific and was elected chairman of the executive com mittee of the board of directors of the Southern Pacific ' to succeed Judge Lovett. Alexander Millar resigned as secretary of the Southern Pacific. His successor will be elected later. Selection of Mr. Kruttschnltt as chairman of the Southern Pacific board excited no surprise, as he has devoted the greater part of his atten tion to that property and has under way a comprehensive plan for its further upbuilding. No Objection Expected. It is acknowledged frankly that the plan to separate the Southern and Union Pacific systems now centers around the ownership of the Central Pacific Railroad. Union Pacific of ficials make no secret that every step now taken has for its object the ac quiring of Central Pacific They de clare that the result hinges largely on the price to be paid for the property. With the reorganization of the board of the Southern Pacific it is under stood that Attorney-General Wicker sham will plan to take up with the members of both directorates the scheme of separation of the two com panies. The sale of the Central Pacific by the Southern to the Union Pacific will be the center of the plan. It Is intimated in authoritative quar ters that Mr. 'Wicket-sham will offer no objection to the acquisition of the Central Pacific by the Unien Pacific if It can be accomplished without the aid of the Southern Pacific stock now owned by the Union Pacific insiders. Wall street, however, believes that a very considerable part of the Southern Pacific majority will refuse to re linquish control of the Central Pacific except by legal decree. Suit Not Deemed Siecessary. TheVttorney-General mad lt p!ai to the members of the Southern Pacific stockholders' committee, who visited him Saturday, that he did not consider that any new suit to compel the South ern Pacific to sell the Central Pacific was necessary, as under the suit which resulted in the dissolution decree, the Southern Pacific was a party, and the necessary measures to restore a com petitive condition could therefore,' in his opinion, be taken under the present order of the Supreme Court. The whole of the Central Pacific sys tem of course will not necessarily be come a part of the Union Pacific sys- tem, notably that division extending from Sacramento to Portland, Or. The Attorney-General has expressed him self as believing that such part of the Central as will complete the Union's line to San Francisco must necessarily be sold in order to bring about truly competitive conditions. As for the feeder lines of the Central, which are as essential to the Southern as the coast line, the Attorney-General ex pressed himself as not opposed to the Southern's continued possession. The disposition of the remainder of the Southern Pacific stock, held by the Union Pacific after payment for the Central Pacific is still largely an open Question. James N. Wallace, chairman of the Southern Pacific protective committee declared today that some of the more serious obstacles to the severance of the Harriman lines fast were being overcome. This opinion was shared by attorneys representing the Union Pa cific road BED AFIRE AS THEY AWAKE Father and Threes Children Knsh From Flames at Jfight. OREGON CITY, Or- Jan. 13. (Spe cial.)
