AFTER A WEEK'S SEARCH
Scranton Man Had Said He Did
Not Wish to Testify
Here.
After a search of more than a week.'
subpoena servers of the Department of
Justice have located James R. Dainty,
of Scranton. and possibly will have him
present when the House Judiciary Com
mittee, which Is Investigating charges
of misconduct against Judge Robert W.
Archbald. of the United States Com
merce Court, resumes Its sessions Mon
day. Dainty, who Is a coal operator. Is al
leged to have been associated with Judge
Archbald In a number of deals for culm
properties which the committee Is prob
ing. . According, to William P. Boland.
Instigator of the charges against Judge
Archbald. Dainty told him that "he did
not want to come to Washington to
appear as a witness In the proceedings.
Color would seem to have been lent this
alleged remark by- the difficulty govern
ment subpoena servers have experienced
In finding the much deslded witness. In
quiries at his home In Scranton elicited
the Information that be had not been
home for several days. His wife said
she did not know where he was.
Judge Clayton, chairman of the Ju
diciary Comlttee. admitted yesterday
that Dainty had been located. He refused
to say where. It Is understood that gov
ernment agents have not yet been able
to serve him with the subpoena and are
fearful lest he may still escape them.
At the conclusion of the testimony
yesterday afternoon the committee de
cided to adjourn over jantll Monday. It is
thought Dainty will be called at that
Railroad Official Testify.
President Truesdell. Vice President
Loomls, and General Counsel Jenny, of
the Lackawanna, were among those who
appeared yesterday. James Archbald.
Jr., engineer of the Stephen Glrard es
tate, of Philadelphia, and George E.
Klrkpatrick, superintendent of the es
tate, also testified. Arcbbald is a
nephew of the Judge. The testimony
bearing on the Glrard estate excited In
terest among the committee. It was
brought out that Judge Archbald at
tempted to obtain leases on culm coal
piles near Shenandoah, Pa., in which the
Lehigh Valley Railroad was Interested.
Archbald's nephew and Mr. Klrkpatrick
told the committee that the Judge tried
to lease last December culm coal piles
near Shenandoah, Pa., from the Glrard
estate, and that be had told them he
had obtained the consent of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad officials, who had
" "blanket" leases of the Glrard coal
land.
"I considered it Improper for a Judge of
the Commerce Court to be engaged with
the railroad officials to secure conces
sions which might affect their cases
before him." said Mr. Klrkpatrick. Judge
Archbald failed to lease the culm piles,
Klrkpatrick added, because such a lease
might prevent renewal of the principal
leases with the railroad. James Arch
bald said his uncle first applied to him
for the lease and that he was referred
to Klrkpatrick. He said Judge Arch
bald, with J. F. Bell, a Scranton law
yer, and V. L. Peterson and Thomas
H. Jones, coal operators, signed a for
mal application to lease the lands.
Vice President Loomls i Emitted that
Judge Archbald had writ i him and
visited him In relation to oal property
that be sought to lease. V. P. Boland,
author of the charges against Judge
Archbald, prompted members of the com
mittee In their examination of the rail
road officials. Boland holds Loomls re
sponsible for the difficulties of the Mar
lon Coal Company, and characterized
Loomls as "his persecutor."
President Truesdell said he personally
had Utile to do with negotiations for the
sale of W. P. Boland's coal property to
the Lackawanna.
"Attorney George Watson last October
outlined a basis of settlement between
our company and Boland's Marion Coal
Company," said TruesdelL "At no time
was It suggested that we purchase the
stock of the Marlon Coal Company. Wat

than ever to-day the heavy hand of the
striking Hotel Workers' "Union. Dining
rooms have been deserted in nearly a

crippled by the unexpected desertion of
cooks and waiters. Fifteen hundred men
were added to the ranks of the strikers,
making nearly 4.000 now out.
In each case the men went out In an
orderly manner; in a few cases the strike
was anticipated and the men told to get
out by the managers. The nearest thing
to disorder occurred about 9 o'clock at
night, when 400 of the strikers and. their
sympathizers gathered in . front of the
Hotel Belmont and. forming In proces
sion, marched four abreast up Fifth Ave
nue. When they stopped In front of Del
raonlco's. at Forty-fourth Street, and
with cries of "Scab!" and "Come out!"
tried to get some of the omployes of that
place to Join their ranks, they were
forced by the police to move on. Turn
ing Into West Forty-fourth Street, they
created another demonstration in front
of the Iroquois Hotel, and again la front
of the Algonquin; but both times 'were
forced to .move on. Turning Into Broad

Hotels Fear Violence.
Hotel managers to-night openly ex
pressed fear of violence. They stated
that the union treasury Is very weak;
that the strikers are as a rule lacking In
habits of thrift, and that as soon as the
pinch of poverty Is felt violence can be
expei id.
"We are fearful that the foreign ele
ment among the strikers will become ex
cited." said one manager. "A large pro
portion of the strikers are foreigners,
and we are fearful that they will intro
duce European strike methods."

GUILT ADMITTED BY OFFICIALS
AtlanUo Cltft NT J.. May JL Co'rruiv
tlon. official, political, and civic. Is to
be torn up by the roots In this city, and,
despite the exposures of the past year,
culminating in the uncovering of "the
concrete boardwalk" bribery graft, the
arrest of one councilman and the con
fessions of four more, taxpayers of the
city haven't the faintest Idea how deep
these roots go.
They are going to find out. however.
The results of a year's work by opera
tives employed under the personal di
rection of William J. Burns, are to be
disclosed In the form of grand Jury pro
ceedings and arrests, and the develop
ments will throw the shadow on the
"boardwalk" case.
Election bribery and other offenses
against the ballot, protection of gam
bling, both "straight" and crooked,
traffic In saloon licenses, bribe charges
in connection with garbage contracts,
and a, dozen other Instances of bow At
lantic City has been misgoverned and
exploited, will be dragged to the light.
Born Leaves for West.
Burns left for the West this afternoon
after Councilman Harry Dougherty, the
only one of the five councllmen accused
of accepting a bribe of SoOO each to vote
for the "boardwalk" ordinance, who re
fused to admit his guilt, had been held
for the grand Jury In ROOD bail Before
leaving the city. Burns, In an interview,
named three other members of the city
council In connection with the bribery
charges. He said that Councilman Sam
uel S. Phoebus, one of Uose who con
fessed, will testify that b paid money
to each of the three In the "boardwalk"
case. Those who have confessed are
Councilman Phoebus, Gustav Kessfer,
James .W. Lane, and William Malta.
Dougherty was stubborn, so he was ar
rested. The Dougherty hearing, at which Burns
was the star witness, and at which one
of the operatives told the story of the
famous dictagraph, was Intensely dra
matic. Dougherty was not placed on the stand.
He listened In silence to the evidence
against him. Three councllmen whose
confessions Burns holds were witnesses
against their colleague. They merely told
of their presence at the Burns interview
with Dougherty, when the latter declined
to admit his guilt. Phoebus told of his
advice to Dougherty to "do as the rest
ot us have done." The most direct evi
dence against Dougherty was that given
by F. S. Smiley, the Burns operative, who
turned up the Ohio legislative scandal.
Smiley identified Dougherty as the man
to whom he said he had given-ten marked
ISO bills.
It Is asserted that evidence has been
obtained against every gambling Joint In
the city. It will be placed before the
grand Jury at the proper time. .Two well
known, politicians will. It Is said, be in
volved In the gambling disclosures.
In the election of last fall the reform
forces fighting for the reign ot decency
formed a fusion of the reformers and
the Democrats and gave battle to the
organization, only to be defeated by the
Kuehlen machine. The coming dis
closures will show how this was done, at
least in part.
There Is In the pos.e.ston of. the Investigators-evidence
of vote buying and
bribe giving and taking, upon which
warrants for the arrest of forty-seven
game workers are to be Issued at the
proper time. In the meantime, these
election manipulators are being watched.
and' there It no fear that .they will get
away.

tracted the greater Interest, and Dr. W.
E. Tuekberry. superintendent ot the
T,vv.mMiin,t iTnnitnI and Dr. George
M. Kober. dean of the Georgetown Unl-
erslty medical racuity, ana we araisner
of the Tuberculosis Hospital, testified as
to the facilities offered for the care ot
tubercular patients at the Washington
Asylum Hospital.
Must Take Patients.
According to Dr. Hlckllng, jUMuWasn
lrtgtbn Asylum Is not permitted to refuse
pini. whatever their affliction. Sub
sequent testimony developed' the fact
that the Tuberculosis Hospital has failed
through lack of sufficient accommoda
tions to take from the Washngton Asy
lum all tubercular patients. According
to all the witnesses, the presence of this
class of patients is a menace to the other
patients, as no separate wards are avail
able for them.
Telling of the overcrowded conditions.
Dr. Hlckllng said that at one time there
were rit patients at the Washington Asy
lum, with only three nurses to attend
to their wants during the night. Dr.
Hlckllng testified that other hospitals
which take .-harity patients and charge
them against the quota allowed the city
refuse whom they choose.
"In other words." questioned Repre
sentative Dyer, "the private hospitals .
use the Washington Asylum Hospital
as i a dumping ground for such patients
as they do not want to get."
"I could not say that of my own
knowledge." replied the witness, "but
that Is my Impression."
"What is your recommendation for the
care of indigent tubercular patients?"
asked Mr. Dyer.
Cnr- of Tubercular Cases.
"They should be cared for at the Tu
berculosis Hospital."
"Do you think the Washington Asylum
Is a fit place for any of them?"
"No. sir: 1 do not. I think that special
provision should be made In any hos
pital that takes tubercular patients for
their treatment. I do not think they
should be treated In the same wards or
In the same way as .the other patients.'
Referring to conditions there. Dr.
Hlckllng said:
"The doctors' quarters are not flt for
men of their calling to occupy. The
(crowded condition of the wards means
tnat uie .nurses trn c&jieu upun iu hj.3
care of more patients than they can
care for adequately, and the patients
are Justly dissatisfied.
"If the appropriation for the hospital
this year goes- through In the form now
carried in the District appropriation bill
the condition will continue as It now Is;
you will not have helped us. If you
do not give us a new hospital, at least
do something toward Improving condi
tions at the old."
"Don't you favor a new municipal nos
pltair' asked Mr. Dyer.
"Of course." replied Dr. Hlckllng.
"that U what we have been favoring for
twelve years as strongly as human voice
could urge It"
