HIS COURT BECAUSE IT HAD TWO CASES IIP FOn TRIAL BEFORE IIIM HE CLEANED UP A TIDY SUM Testimony Shows Conclusively That Archibald used His Posi tion to Compel Railroad Company to sell Coal Worth $40, 000 to a Friend of His for $4500, and He Was in for a Cut of One-Half on the Profits- -Witness Was the Man Inter ested With Archbaid, and Says Archibald Manipulated the Scheme.. Il'NITHD FRESH 1JBASHD WIM. Washington, May 10. Investiga tion of the charges against Judge "Robert Archbaid of commerce court was continued today before the house Judiciary committee, with the recall ing of Edward Williams, who was cross-examined In regard to Arch buld's alleged negotiations to buy a ' Culm coal pile from the Erie railroad at Moosic, Pa., for $8,000 and sell It for J20.000. Williams testified that when he opened negotiations with Captain May, manager of the Erie railroad's coal properties, he thought a letter from Judge Archbaid would help push the deal along. He declared that May was aware that Archbaid was a Vnlted States Judge, as the Erie railroad had considerable litigation In Ills court. He admitted that he thought the fact that Archbaid was a United States Judge would help hhn to close the deal. When asked If he thought the Erie refused to close the deal' because they heard the department of Justice was Investigating, Williams said he did not know. He admitted that he and Archbaid had discussed the writ ing of a letter by the Judge, while the deal was not yet consummmated, and said that Archbaid told him to see Drownell, the vice-president and general counsel for the Erie railroad. CAMPAIGN ENDING IN HOT FINISH unit-id frrss leaked wins Santa Kosa, Cal., May 10. With speeches today In seven towns In the Napa and Sonoma valleys, and a night meeting at Oakland, Senator Robert M. La Follette practically completed his California campaign. Tomorrow he goes to San Diego, but will return to San Francisco for a monster meeting in Dreamland rink -Monday night, which will mark the end of the pri mary campaign In California. La Follete told his hearers in nil the towns today practically what he' has told voters In other sections of the state throughout his tour. 'Whenever a man votes agahiBt his convictions, because he wants to be on t lie winning side, and because he thinks his choice for office cannot win," he said, "he Is prostituting his political right. No free people will submit to Industrial slavery. We are facing a problem that must be solved soon, or we will hand down to our chll dreii a problem that will be Bnlved God only knows how. With one sweep of the weapon forged In the mighty Intel lect of John Sherman, that law thnt made conspiracy to throttle competi tion a crime, Theodore Roosevelt, when he was president, could have solved it for all time. Though the power of 90.000,000 people was behind lilm, he failed to perform what he had sworn to do his Blmple duty. Vet It Is not too late. Tint to cut nway the cancer from legitimate busi ness Is a delicate operation now. It Is work that will require ability, pa tience and a Bteady hand. I think I mn do It. While Senator La Follette was com pleting his tour, making speeches at Callstofta, Yonntvllle, Napa, Vallejo and Denlcla, Mrs. La Folette was ad dressing women In Oakland, Berkeley nd Alameda. JUDGE lilt OPTIOII Oil GOAL "Did ypu ever say that the Judge declared' he would see Brownell, and 'that he might hurt htm If he refused to do such a small thing?" asked , Congressman Clayton, the Judiciary committee chairman. I "I said that the Judge had two cases before him involving the Erie railroad," replied Williams. "They had not been tried yet. Archbaid said he was well acquainted with Captain May. He might do hhn some harm not-that he could do Brownell any harm." Wllllums testified that Judge Arch bald sent him again to see May, with the result that the witness final ly secured the desired option on the Culm pile, although paying $2000 more than was previously asked.

Reitman, manager for Emma Goldman, the anarchlBt lecturer, today sent from Los Angeles letters to Mayor Wadham and Secretary Choate, of the local chamber of commerce, saying that Miss Goldman had engaged a hall and would speak here on the nights of May 14 and 15. He asked Mayor Wad. had to see that there was no Inter, ference with her. adding that she would lecture on the drama, and that on previous appearances there had been no disturbances.
