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.

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 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.

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.” Dental Thieves Busy (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) THOMASVILLE. Ga..

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.

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.

The enforcement of this law, he add ed. should be made an issue in the next election of judges. “The superior court of Fulton coun ty,” he said, “has chartered a saloon under the name of the Owls' club that' is located in the very building occupied by the court." The Tippins bill wns read in the house Monday morning, two substi ’tutes and a number of amendments were submitted, and Mr. Alexander ar-; gued for its passage.

Mr. Hall of Bibb submitted a suo stitute for package houses governed! by local option. The amendments exempted b«tent| medicines from the provisions of the Tippins bill, provided for a popular; vote on the bill, and specifically pro hibited locker clubs from selling liq uors. Mr. Brown, of Fulton, submitted an, amendment to confine the provisions' otf the Tippins bill to towns of 5,0081 or less population. Mr. Alexander of DeKalb asserted, that locker clubs of all degrees are a* violation of law, and that they are an evidence of red anarchy. During his debate the galleries were, well filled. A large number of the! visitors were women that are members of temperance associations. At a re ply by Mr. Alexander to Mr. Hall ot Bibb they burst into such applause! that the speaker rapped for order and had the clerk read the rule prohibiting spectators from applauding or hissing.

It provides that in towns of 5,000 or more population, 10 per cent of the citi zens may secure an election on the sale of whisky by petitioning to the municipal authorities. A majority vote shall de termine the result of such election. Mr. Adams' amendment refers the Tip pins bill to a popular vote. It follows: “By adding the following words, to be< known as section No. 8, the remainder of the sections of house bill No. 2 to be numbered consecutively. “Section 6. Be it further enacted by ( the authority aforesaid. That thia act shall be submitted to the registered vo ters of the state of Georgia at the next general election on the first Wednesday, in October, 1912, for approval or disap proval by the people. If a majority efi the votes cast at said election approve' this act, it shall become operative. If a majority of the votes cast disapprove the act. it shall not become operative. The form of the ballot shall be in sub stance, 'for the Tippins bill' and ‘against the Tippins bill' and the voter shall strike! the word ‘for’ or 'against' as he may desire.” Mr. Brown's amendment provides that the Tippins bill shall not apply in» any city of over 5,800 population.

OPEN SALOONS. "When I came into the city this morning,” he said, “I passed by an open saloon, known as a near-beer saloon. It was owned and operated by negroes,i and 'existed in open violation of the laws of Georgia. I asked if there are| ! others like this, and I was told that’ there are thirty. CONDITION OF ANARCHY. “My friends, this condition is an archy pure and simple, red anarchy. It raises its ugly head among th«se con servative peoptle and defies laws. CLUBS ARE SCORED. "Men greedy for gold have organized! 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.” NO. 84.
