LITTLE ROCK, ARK.. Dee. 17.—Be cause he considered the convict lease system in Arkansas inhuman and sen tences imposed by magistrates a mis carriage of justice. Governor George W. Donaghey in effect abolished the lease system when he issued pardons to 316 state and 14 county convicts. Prisoners engaged in building roads will continue to serve their sentences. Only those being worked under lease contracts will be set free. Their sen tences range from one io fifteen years. The wholesale pardoning wipes out the three largest convict camps in the state. Governor Donaghey, who retires from office in January, will send a special mes sage to the Arkansas legislature, when it convenes, calling attention to this extra ordinary use of the pardon pow-er and de manding that laws be enacted to legally abolish the lease system, reorganize the state penal system and restrict authority of magistrates to Impose sentences for trivial offenses. It is declared that in many instances magistrates have im posed sentences for misdemeanor of fenses that in other states would have been considered excessive for felony charges. For months Governor Donaghey has been making a careful study of the con vict system in Arkansas and in view of developments that have been made pub lic from time to time, his action in or dering the hundreds of convicts liber ated is not a surprise in this state. He lias hail special agents and detectives in vestigating conditions and he has acted upon information furnished by them, as well as from personal inspections of the camps.

BALDING | ARCHBALD WILL” BEOWNWITNLSS Jurist to Testify at His Im peachment, Lawyers Decide After Long Consultation. WASHINGTON. Dec. 17,-Judg. Robert W. Archbald will take the stand in his own defense when the senate convenes after the Christmas holidays. The exact date has not been deter mined, but it is said that Judge Arch bald will be the last witness before the government begins its rebuttal. IH cling that there are many matters in connection with the articles of im peachment which can best be explained by the Jurist, his counsel, after a lengthy consultation, however, reached this decision. It is not expected that the trial will be concluded before January 8. In de elding the fate of Judge Archbald the senate' in all probability will go into executive session. No arguments by senators will be permitted during the trial. The second count in the articles of impeachment against the judge was to be refuted by the defense in the senate Impeachment proceedings today with nine witnesses to prove that the jurist’s effort to settle the differences between the Marian Coal Company and the Lackawanna railroad was put forth purely out of friendship. John W. Peale, who brought suit against the Boland Brothers just before Judge Archbald endeavored to sell the Marian Coal Company to the railroad, was scheduled to be the star witness. The defense relied upon him to prove that no mercenary motive actuated the judge. ■'OPERA GLASSES” The gift that will please any one. Jno. L.
