Helena, Jan. 10.--lhe principal item
in the work of the house today, at
least so far as time expended went,
was the settlement of the machine
leaders, who, opposed to the taking of
a verbatim report of proceedings, went
down to defeat. The victory of the
"platform" democrats, however, was
only made possible by reason of. the
progressive vote. The margin for the
victors was very small, the vote stand
ing 41 to 38. The significance of it is
that the platform democrats are help
lessly in the hands of their opponents.
Nothing but the solid support of the
progressives will suffice to get sound
legislation through the house. But
that support is a certainty and for the
session.
How they voted:

Governor's Estimates.
The report submitted by Governor
Stewart on the estimated income and
outgo of the state for the next two
years placed the 1913 income at
$1,466,500 and the outgo at $1,900,860;
for 1914, income $1,509,250 and outgo
$1,626,625. This estimate shows a
probable shortage of several hundred
thousand dollars.

FATE OF ARCHBALD
RESTS WITH SENATE
Washington, Jan. 10.-The impeach
ment of Judge Robert W. Archbald
of the United States commerce court
passed tonight out of the hands of
the house managers and Judge Arch
bald's attorneys and became the sub
ject of consideration of the senate,
hitting as a jury. The trial, which
has engrossed the attention of the
senate more than four hours a day
since December 3, came to an end
when Rlepresentative Henry D. Clay
ton of Alabama concluded the final
atgument of the house managers with
another appeal for the removal of
Judge Atcmlbald because of alleged
misconductf
As the senate was about to adjourn,
senator Reed of Missouri asked per
mission to submit one more question
to Judge Archbald-as to whether he
had altered the record of testimony
in the Louisville & Nashville rate
Case before the commerce court. His
oriesspondence with Attorney Helm
grin6 in his case furnished the foun.
dation for one of the articles of im.
cgehment.
Judge Archbald's attorneys declared
if the question were submitted they
would request an opportunity to malu
uritier" iituments.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Charles L.
Hyde of Pierre, S. D., was granted

Taft today to give. Attorney Gen

gate his claim to a pardon. He
was convicted of fraudulent use of
the mails in selling town lots in
South Dakota.
NEWS IS DISTORITE
BY DEMOCRATIC
PAPERS
ORGANS OF BIG BUSINESS FAIL
TO TELL TRUTH REGARDING
LEGISLATURE.
(Staff Correspondence.)
Helena, Jan. 10.-The democratic
papers that came into Helena today
were a unit in one thing, to say the
least, and that was in a deliberate
campaign of misrepresentation on the
contest for the appointment of a com
mittee on committees in the house.
Without exception these newspapers
pretend to describe the event, and the
various items that led up to it, as a
mere scheme of the progressives to
create division in the democratic
ranks, and as conceived by the Bull
Moosers for that sole purpose.
To inaugurate, a campaign of the
sort referred to it was necessary at
the very outset to ignore many of the
important facts having a bearing, and
distort others of equal importance and
relevancy. In the interest of a fair
understanding of the whole matter it
will be necessary to go back to the
beginning.
On the first day of the session Nor
tan, democrat, of Silver Bow, made
the customary motion that the rules
of the preceding assembly be adopted
until such time as the present house
should have adopted rules of its own.
T'o this Annin, progressive of Yellow
stone, offered an amendment that rule
31 be amended so as ,to read "that the
speaker shall appoint a committee of
five on committees for this house, of
whom three shall be democrats, one a
progressive and one a republican. Al
though the speaker had but a few
minutes previously entertained a mo
tion, and put it to a vote of the house
to amend rule 8 of -the same body of
rules, he declared the Annin motion
out of order. This was clearly in
violation of every known canon of
parlimentary law.
Up Again.
The matter was allowed to rest
there until Wednesday, when Annin
again presented ,the matter in the
shape of a written motion which read,
"that it is the will of this house that
the speaker shall within the present
legislative day, appoint the committee
on rules heretofore provided for, and
that the said committee, when ap
pointed, be and the same is hereby in
structed to report forthwith to this
house a rule providing for the selection
by the house of a committee of five
on committees of the house, to consist
of three democrats, one progressive
and one republican." The motion was
declared out of order by the speaker,
and an appeal to the house was taken.
The progressives voted solidly, with
one exception, to overrule 'the, speaker,
and were joined in this by two re
publicans, Crull of Musselshell, and
(Continued on Page Five.)
At the end of one hour of debate,
it was announced that the senate had
declined to allow the question to be
submitted to Judge Archbald. Sen
ator Reed then formally withdrew it.
The senate will resume considera
tion of the case tomorrow behind
closed doors. No vote upon any of
the 13 separate charges against Judge
Archbald is expected until Monday.
While the senate will consider the
case in secret, it will vote in the open.
The full penalty that may be im
posed by the senate includes not only
removal from office but disbarment of
Judge Archbald from holding any po
siton of public trust In the future.
Separate votes will have to be
taken on each of the 13 articles of im
peachment.
A two-thirds' vote would be neces
sary to convict Judge Archbald upon
any of the counts against him. Twc
new senators, J. N. Heiskell ol
Arkansas and R. M. Johnston ol
Texas, who have not heard the ar
guments in the case, will not votel
and two vacancies exist, one from
Illinois and one from Colorado. A
successful two-thirds' vote upon -
single article of impeachment woulh
be sufficient to cause Judge Arch.

CIPRIANO CASTRO
YET REMAINS
COURT HOLDS DECISION IN HA
BEAS CORPUS HEARING PEND
'ING INVESTIGATION.
New York, Jan. 10.-Cipriano Castro,
formerly president of Venezuela, who
declares he is prevented unlawfully
from entering the United States, had
his day in court today, but was de
feated, temporarily at least, in his at
tempt to land, and is back at Ellis is
land tonight.
Judge Holt announced his intention
of dismissing the writ of habeas cor
pus issued to Castro, but held his de
cision in abeyance until he could de
termine whether he had authority to
release Castro on ball until the immi
gration authorities fix upon the right of
the Venezuelan to remain in this coun
try. Judge Holt probably will render a
decision tomorrow.
The court upheld the contention of
District Attorney Wise that Castro's
examination by the immigration au
thorities had not been completed and
for that reason the court had no au
thorty to interfere. Castro's counsel
held that the examination had been
completed. George G. Battle, attorney
for Castro, declared his client had been
denied the right to confer with counsel
except in the presence of an immigra
gration officer.
"No law in this country says that
counsel shall not have access to his
client without a government officer
standing over him," commented Judge
Holt. "Under these circumstances, a
man's detention certainly would be il
legal."
Mr. Battle, commenting tonight upon
the ruling of the court, declared that
Castro has accomplished the objects
for which the writ was asked.
"Judge Iolt has raled distinctly," he
said, "that General Castro shall be en
titled to consult freely with his coun
sel and that the immigration authori
ties must proceed promptly and in a
legal manner by a special board' of
inquiry to determine whether just
cause exists for excluding him from
this country."
