M. C. A., captured the final of the 100-
metrefi dash, while James Thorp, of the
Carlisle Indian school, won the pen
tathlon. a series of five events.
The Stars and Stripes achieved a
triumph Sunday never before witnessed
on an Internationa athletic field. Three
flagstaffs are erected in the Stockholm
stadium, where the colors of the differ
ent nations scoring first, second and
third in the final contest of each event
are hoisted. When the l<M>-metres sprint
—the event most honored on athletic
fields everywhere—had .finished, the
American flag went up on the first staff,
on the second and on the third. Craig,
A. T. Meyer, Irish-American Athletic
club, and B F. Lippincott. University
of Pennsylvania, were the men they rep
resented. Craig's time. 10 4-5 seconds,
equals the Olympic record.
* AMERICANS IN LEAD.
Only one other number on the pro
gram was concluded Sunday. That was
the pdwtathlon. which waa intended to
be a teat of all-round prowess. When
this event was included in the Olympic
games, conservative old-timers, both
English and Americana, who heretofore
had dominated the field sports, regarded
ix with suspicion as a trick of the new
comers t* gain points which were not
contemplated In the original program.
The United States got the lion's
share of the glory from that also. At
its conclusion the first and third staffs
floated American flags and the second
Norway's.
A CARLISLE INDIAN.
The Indian. Thorp, by his victory,
won his position as the legitimate suc
cessor of Martin J. Sheridan as an all
round athlete. Os thoae who entered
this competition, the four Americans.
Thorp, Brundi ge. Donoghus and Monaul,
started in all the events and stayed to
the ead with the Norwegian. Bia. the
Canadian. Lukeman, and the Swede,

PORTUGUESE ROYALISTS
RESORTING TO OTNANIITE
hf They Can’t Set Up Throne,
They Can Blow Up
Bridges
(By Associated Brass.)
! LISBON. July B.—Sporadic royalist
attempts aiming at the restoration of
the Portuguese monarchy continue to
be made in various parts of northern
Portugal.
A number of royalists tried today to
dynamite a bridge over; the river Mln
ho. near the town of Caminha, but
I caused only slight damage.
I Although many of the royalists have
been subdued or arrested, two impor
tant detachments still maintain activ
ity. One of them is commanded by
I Captain Couceipo. with headquarters
near the town of Montelegre. The men
are well armed with rifles. revolvers
and knives.
A second force of monarchists, ac
cording to the last report received, waa
marching from Verin to Chaves, in the
province of Traz-Osi-Montes.
The government, which remains in
session night and day, is rushing troops
and war vessels to ti e north.
No royalist movement has broken out
yet either in Lisbon or Oporto, but the
government, fearing an outbreak at
Oporto, is concentrating a large force
there and is distributing other troops
along the frontier. >
The battleship Vasco da Gama, car
rying troops and machine guns and the
cruiser Republics and Almirante /Rei«
have arrived at Oporto.
WIRES ARE CUT.
The telegraph wires have been cut be
tween Brada and Vianna do Castello
and the Esp< nxende railroad has been
cut and blocked -with timber at Barrel
los, where martial law has been pro
claimed. i
At Moreira de Rey tne population has
raised royal standards on the houses
and joined the rebels in a fight with
the republican guard, during which
many of -each faction were killed or
wounded.
An attack on Valenea de Mlnho by a
force of royalists led by Captain Sepul
veda. formerly aide to Queen Maria Pia
was repulsed. The captain and forty of
the royalist troops retreated across the
international bridge over the Mmho,
where they fell into the arms of the
Spanish troops and were arrested. Oth
ers escaped by swimming the river.
It is altered here that the Carlist
leaders in Spain are secretly helping
the Portuguese royalists and that many
of them are now in Portugal endeavor
ing to spread the monarchist revolt.
VOTE ON LORIMER CASE
POSTPONED BY SPEECHES
The Final Test Will Not Come
Until Wednesday or-
Thursday
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. July 8.-Senator Dil
lingham was prepared to continue his
defense of Senator Lorimer when the
senate met today to resume consideration
of his election.
It is still the “legislative day of July
6,” in the senate and will be until the
final vote which unseats Mr. Lorimer or
vindicates him. is taken. Senator Dil
lingham expects to take up the entire
session today with a continued analysis
of the evidence and the plea that Mr.
Lorimer's election, having been stamped
valid once by the senate, cannot again
be questioned.
Senator Borah expects to speak at some
length, taking the other side of the argu
ment. Senator Lea. of Tennessee, an
other of Mr. Lorimer’s opponents, is yet
to speak. It is expected the vote may
not be taken before Wednesday or Thurs
day. Some of Mr. Lorimer’s friends in
the senate believe the vote will be
against him . " '
Continuing his defense of Senator Lori
mer's election in the senate today, Mr.
Dillingham, of Vermont, declared that
the only evidence against Lorimer had
been given by C. A. White, who he as
serted entered the Illinois legislature with
the purpose of taking bribes.
When Senator Reed asked it it were
true that Lorimer had loaned Lee O’Neil
Browne 81.000 for his defense of the legal
proceedings against him that grew out
of the legislative charges. Mr. Dilling
ham said: '1 would have done the same
thing.” snapped Dillingham “If I had
been in his place, and If I had been con
vinced there was a conspiracy to switch
charges from their original purpose. I
aould have done all in my power to
smash such a combination.”

IMPEACHMENT OF
JUDGE ARCHBALD IS
BEGUN IN CONGRESS
Judiciary Committee in Unani
mous Report Presents to the
House Thirteen Articles of
Impeachment
WASHINGTON. July 8.-Chalrman
Henry D. Clayton, of the committee on
. judiciary today presented to the house
13 articles of impeachment against Judge
Robert W. Archbald, of the United
States court of commerce. Mr. Clayton’s
report was unanimous from his commit
tee.
It constitutes the ninth impeachment
of a judicial or civil official of the
I United States since the foundation of the
government and is the first since the
impeachment trial of Judge Charles
Swayne, of'the northern district of Flor
ida, who was acquitted on February 27;
, IMS.
“The conduct of this judge has been
exceedingly reprehensible and in marked
[contrast with the high sense of judicial
ethics and principle probity that gener
ally characterize the federal judiciary,"
1 the committee said in summing up Its
findings of misbehavior in office against
Judge Archbald.
His business transactions while a judge
were held to unfit him for further serv
ice on the bench. A resolution was pre
sented impeaching him and haling him
for trial before tho United States.
“Your committee is of opinion that
Judge Archbald's sense of moral respon
sibility has become deadened,” said the
report.
PROSTITUTED OFFICE.
“He has prostituted his high office for
personal profit. He has attempted by
various transactions to commercialize his
potentiality as judge. He has shown
an overweening desire to make gainful
bargains with parties having cases be
fore him or likely to have cases before
him. To establish this purpose he has
not hesitated to use his official
and influence. He has degraded his
high office and has destroyed the con
fidence of the public in his J udl ‘ :,al lnteg ’
rity. He has forfeited the condition upon
which he holds his commission and should
be removed from office by
“A judge should be the personification
of integrity, of honor, and of u P ri
ness in his daily walk an V°?Thv l nv
He should be free and unaffected by any
bias born of avarice and unhampered
by pecuniary or other improper obllga-
With Chairman Clayton's report was
a resolution which designated Chairman
Clayton. Representatives Floyd of Ar
kansas; Davis, of West Virginia. and
Webb, of North Carolina. Democrats,
and Representatives Norris, Nebraska;
Sterling, Illinois, and Howland, Ohio, Re
publicans. managers to prosecute the
Archbald trial before the senate.
The impeachment charges against
Judge Archbald mage Jsorn M* buxi
nes transacted with actual and possi
ble litigants in his court to a trip to
Europe, which, it was charged, was giv
en the judge by Henry W. Cannon, a
railroad magnate of New York. Favor
itism to a railroad litigant was also in
cluded in the charges and in the 13th
count the committee found |hat Judge
Archbald “grossly abused the propriet
ties of his said office of judge, was guilty
of misbehavior and of misdemeanor in
office.”
An epitome of the articles of impeach
ment follows:
Negotiated with the Erie Railroad com
pany for the purpose of the Katydid coal
lump for Edward J. Williams, his busi
ness associate.
"In the opinion of ycur committee
Judge Archbald’S participation in this
transaction, under all the circumstances,
was reprehensible and prejudicial to the
confidence of the American people in the
federal judiciary.”
Joined with George M. Watson, of
Scranton. Pa., in an attempt to sell the
stock of the Marian Coal company to
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad. This company was owned by
the Boland Brothers, of Scranton, at that
time litigants against the railroad be
fore the interstate commerce commission.
The committee charged Judge Archbald
figured in the negotiations “for a valuable
consideration." '
That Jdge Archbald sought to lease
from the Lehigh Valley Railroad com
pany a culm bank on the Girard estate
coal property near Shenandoah, Pa.
At this time the railroad was a liti
gant before the commerce bourt and
before the interstate commerce commis
sion. The committee said:
"It is the conclusion of your commit
tee that the officers of the coal company
(subsidiary) relinquished the right to
operate the said culm bank because of
the influences exercised upon them
through Judge Archbald's position as
a member of the commerce court.”
“UNFAIR DECISIONS.”
That Judge Archbald sought addition
al evidence from ftelm Bruce, attorney
for the Louisville and Nashville rail
| road in a case before the commerce
court which had been closed and given
Ito the judges for decision. Later he
j considered a supplemental brief from
Mr. Bruce without the knowledge of the
attorneys for the interstate commerce
1 commission to meet a conclusion reach
ed by another member of the court
I Judge Archbald wrote the decision in
I favor of the railroad company. “In the
opinion of your committee this conduct
on the part of Judge Archbald • » •
was unfair and unjust to the parties
defendant in this case."
That Judge Archbald used his judicial
Influence to get a coal lease from the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal company
! for Frederick Warnke. It is charged
I that Warnke promised the judge |SOO
[ and later a note for 1500 was discount
! ed for the judge and has not yet ma
tured.
That Judge Archbald used his influ
ence to help James B, Daity, of Scran
ton. purchase ■ coal tract from the Le
high Valley railroad, while the Lehigh
had a suit before the commerce court.
“The persistency zyith which Judge
Archbald sought these business favors
or property concessions from railroad
companies having litigation, or likely
to have litigation, before the commerce
court indicates a well-defined plan to
use official position and influence as a
member of such court for financial gain
and profit," said the committee.
That Judge Archbald figured as a
signer and the payee of a note for 32,-
500 by W. W. Reisinger, of Scranton,
Pa., five days after he had adjudicated
an insurance lawsuit in which Reisin
ger was interested and a beneficiary.
That Judge Archbald sent Edward J.
Williams to William P. Boland to dis
count a note for 3500 signed by John
Henry Jones, while the Bolands were
interested in a lawsuit before him. Bo
land would not discount the note.

"Now Is The Time For All Good Men To Come To The Aid of Their Party"
WILSON WILL NOT GO
TO CHICAGO MEETING
It Is Not Customary for Party
Nominee to in
Person
(By AMoetated Pre»«.)
SEAGIRT, N. J., July B.—Governor Wil
son today definitely declared he would
not go to the meeting of the Democratic
national committee at Chicago because
it was not customary for party nominees
to attend such functions and said Robert
Hudspeth, committeeman from New Jer
sey, would be his representative.
The governor today had an appointment
with Senator Gore, of Oklahoma. The
nominee expressed the intention to see
as many leaders as possible, befofe de
termining upon his choice for national
chairman. The New Jersey delegation to
Baltimore is to visit the governor today.
It said that former Senator James Smith
would not be among the visitors. The
governor was told that Mr. Smith had
said he had not received an Invitation
and that he knew nothing more of the
matter than he had read in the newspa
pers.
To this the governor replied that he
had asked the chairman of the delegation
to invite every delegate, and he was
under the impression that the chairman
had told him he had done so.
Mr. Smith and the governor clashed
over one of the New Jersey senatorshlps
but it has been reported peace was in
sight.
When Senator Goe arrived, the gov
ernor rushed out to meet him, saying:
"I feared you could not get here to
day because you might feel you were
needed m Washington on the Lorimer
situation.”
"Never fear,” returned Senator Gore,
“I’ll be back there in time to cast one
vote.”
A conference followed.
ESSEX DELEGATION.
The Essex delegation, headed by James
R. Nugent, arrived at 1:35 p. m. They
were ushered into the reception room
where they passed in line before the
governor and Mrs. Wilson.
As Nugent approached the man whom
a year ago h edenounced as "an in
grate and a liar,” he held out his big
hand and said good naturedly: “I'm glad
to see you, governor.”
”1 am glad to see you, Mr. Nugent,”
returned the governor.
Former Senator Smith was not present.
O’Neal Thinks Wilson
Will Be Next President
MONTGOMERY, Ala., July B—Governor
O’Neal believes Woodrow Wilson will be
the next president of the United States.
The executive returned to Montgomery
Saturday. The first words the governor
said to newspaper men were: “I am
pleased with the nomination of Wood
row Wilson for president. I have never
seen the Democrats of the country so
harmonious. AH elements are positively
united.”
Governor O’Neal declined to say wheth
er or. not he would order an investiga
tion of the trouble between Thomas Long,
of Jasper, and James G. Oakley, presi
dent of the state convict board. “I can’t
tell yet,” he said, “until I have time to
look into the matter.”
During his address at- the Tammany
hall celebration in New York. July 4.
Governor O'Neal said his hearers were
wild with delight when he mentioned the
name of Wilson. “They are going to
work hard for Wilson In the empire
state,’ stated the Alabama executive,
“and the feeling everywhere is that
Wilson is a winner.”
In his address before members of
Tammany, Governor O’Neal declared that
one of the strongest points in favor of
Democracy was that while the Repub
lican motto is: “Shall the people rule,"
the man who was selected to carry
the Republican standard was not the
choice of a majority of Republicans in
the United States. This was contrasted
to the Democratic convention, where
Wilson was nominated without factional
feeling.

! others like this, and I was told that’
there are thirty.

in this city what they call clubs, where
they sell whiskies of all kinds. Think 1
not you can suffer these things with
, out bloody reprisals.
DEFIANCE OF LAW.
“This issue that is joined here today,
i is an issue between law and the defiance
: of law.
“Among these clubs are those who call
themselves legitimate. Others where
and prostltues revel in drunken orgies
are termed illegitimate.
“The legitimate clubs gain respect
through membership composed of men.
high in office. But no distinction can be
made between them.” ; .
He urged that if our members of th*
house are unwilling to overrule the gov
ernor's veto, in the event the Tippins,
bill is vetoed, that they shall oppose th*
bill from the first.
“If the bill is right.” he said, “it is
right. If it is wrong, it is wrong.”
“Every drop of the stuff manufac
tured by the Atlanta Brewing and Icei
company,” he continued, “is manufac
tured and is sold in defiance of law.
“Even’ club selling whiskies, front
the rich and powerful to criminal 1*
operated in violation of la#.
”1 want to say this, that th* legis
lature has done its duty. It has writ
ten a law so plain that a wayfaring
man might read.”
