“Ordered: that the respondent, Rob-

judicial court and designated to sit in
the commerce court, be removed from
office and be disqualified from holding
and enjoying any office of honor, trust
or profit under the United States.”
On motion of Senator Oliver, of
Pennsylvania, the question was divid-
ed. The first half, removing Judge
Archbald from the bench, was unani-
mously adopted, and the adoption of
the second part disqualifying Arch-
bald from holding any office followed
by a vote of 39 to 35.
The conviction on the first count,
which charged that Archbald had used
his position as a judge to persuade
the Erie Railroad company to give to
him and E. J. Williams, of Scranton,
Pa., an option on a coal dump at a
price probably $80,000 less than its
real value, came with an unexpec.e:!

Titanic Survivors Ask $10,000,000.
Fifty lawyers who hope to obtain for
their clients more than $10,000,000 in
damages for loss of life and property
on the steamship Titanic were arrayed
against attorneys for the White Star
line in the United States district court
in New York at the expiration of the
time limit set by the court for bringing
suits. The limit was extended to
Feb. 1.
The White Star line contends that
its entire liability is limited under the
United States statutes to less than
$100,000—the value of recovered
wreckage and passage money.

the contention of A. L. Brougham, rep-
resenting two hundred claimants, is
that the White Star line's liability can
be limited only by the provisions of
the British law, which would compel
the company to pay total damages of
about $3,000,000.
Mr. Brougham has instituted an ap-
peal in the court of appeals, where he
hopes to determine fully the rights of
the death claimants to bring suit for
full damages. Because of this appeal
the lower court granted the postpone-

The discovery was made by Dr.
Westcott, who used the X-ray. Mrs.
Roberts, with tears pouring down her
cheeks, ordered the dog chloroformed

would scarcely succeed. The dog was
valued at $500 and was a prize winner
