Henry A. House of 705 Wood ave

-ias already been subscribed for the

plans were only in a tentative shape.
He declined to discuss the invention
and the plans for putting it on the
market. Friends of Mr. House, how
ever, are authority for the statement
that a company of no small size and
capital will be established very short
ly and that work on the steel belting
will be started at once. The claim is
made that Mr. House has devised a
metbod of making a steel belt which
can be built in any length desired and
is far superior to the leather belting
because it is more durable and has a
staying quality that cannot be ob
tained in any other belt.

ARCHBALD AFFAIR THOUGHT
TO BE ANOTHER NAIL IN
COFFIN OF COMMERCE COURT
Committee Decides to Probe Thoroughly Re
lations of Judge Archbald to
Culm Pile Deals ; '
If His Impeachment is Decided Upon His Suspension Will be
Ordered Disclosures Being Used For Argument in Favor of
Recall One Deal Claimed to Have Been Made While Brief
on Railroad Decision Lay on Judge's Desk
Washington, May 9. Satisfied from
the disclosures so far, that ' a most
thorough investigation should be
made of Judge Robert W. Archbald's
entire judicial career, the House Judi
ciary Committee which is to deter
mine whether or not' impeachment
proceedings will lie against the Com
merce Court judge, recessed today in
order to go over all the papers and
evidence submitted by President Taft.
The committee will meet tomorrow
with the expectation of continuing its
sessions daily until" all evidence is In.
Meanwhile Edward , J. ("Option")
Williams, . Archbald's ' alleged partner
In the culm coal deals, is detained,
practically under arrest, in care of
the sergtant-at-arms. Only a part of
Archbald's business deals with Wil
liams have been bared, it was under
stood. Tomorrow the committee ex
pects to sound them all out. Several
undisclosed transactions, said toi ln-
; volve Archbald. will be nrobed. A f-
( terward Archbald's attorney, A. S.
, Worthington, promises a grilling
cross-examination of Williams.
It was learned today that Judge
Archbald will probably take the wit
ness stand himself, later in the in
quiry. He will not be forced to testi
fy, but is said to Intend a personal
defense. Several witnesses will also
be summoned by Archbald.
That the Department of Justice is
not aiding Archbald became evident
when Ridgley Brown, a special agent
of the Attorney General, was called
to 1 assist the committee. Brown is
acting' apparently, as advisory 'Coun
sel for the "prosecution." .He made
the investigation . at Scranton and
other cities in Pennsylvania, securing
photographic copies of important let
ters, ' coal contracts and other docu
ments, upon: which the inquiry Is
. .Today, It waa explained that if lm
pyaebment ofv. Judge Archbald Is the
decision ot. the committee, his "sus
pension'' from th Commerce Court
bench .pending trial before the Senate
would probably follow. It is predicted,-if
he' Is impeached, Judge -Archbald
will voluntarily offer his own
"suspension." . ,
The Committee has now before it
Archbald's own confession written on:
Commerce" Court stationery that he
was. interested with "Option'.' Wil-;

Erie railroad at ' Moosic, Pa., to the

Reply To Charge
Of Methodists
Cteorgetown Profess o r
States Position of Catho
lics in Regard to Paro
chial Schools. .
: Washington, May 9. Prof. Rev.
John Conway of Georgetown Univer
sity, - a ' prominent Catholic educator,
declared utterly without foundation
tftdav the charere made . by the gen
eral conference of the Methodist
Church at Minneapolis that Catholics
were trvine "to cram an ever Increas
ing influence over the public schools
of the country." He said tnai uam
olics. had no such intention.
"I am surprised that such a . cap
able bodv of men should put out any
aurh misleading statement, of this
kind," he said. "The resolutions
nrfm-it'orl . lw thft Methodists are. I
think, lntemnerate in tone and ill-ad
vised. If the principle that the. state
shall not teach religion is to be re-e-ardfid
as forever settled. Catholics
are willing to abide by it. But Cath
olics take the position that the state
should allot the sectarian schools of
whatever denomination a fair propor
tion of the public funds which are
used for education and not impose
double taxation on those persons who
desire their children to receive relig
ious instruction. In the case of our
parochial schools we are perfectly
willing that secular education in them
should be under the supervision of
state or government inspectors in the
vnt that they receive state aid. This
system is now in vogue in many prov
inces in Canada and in England."
Father Conway said that the
charge that "the teachings of Roman
ism pervert many of the doctrines of
Christianity" was "too absurd to
merit any discussion" on his part.
The resolutions adopted by the
Methodists are as follows:
"Whereas in all lands which form
a large part of the missionary field
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
the teachings and practices . of Ro
manism deprive the people of the
Bible, pervert many of the funda
mental doctrines of Christianity and
foster superstitions which alienate
the thinking classes and bind heavy
burdens upon the poor; therefore
"Be it resolved that the Methodist
Episcopal Church recognizes its plain
duty to prosecute its missionary en
terprises In Greek and Roman Catho
lic countries with increasing zeal, and,
"Be It resolved, that we will most
vigorously protest against any future
exclusion of missions in Greek or Ro
man Catholic countries from mission
ary gatherings, and,
"Be it resolved, that it is our duty
to oppose the machinations of Roman
ism and to counteract its attempts to
?ain an ever increasing control of our
public schools to use the public funds
for sectarian schools, and finally,
"Be it resolved, that we feel deep
Father Conway's
liams says, while Archbald had on hi
desk briefs of the Erie In the New
York "lighterage cases" insolving
validity of rate rebates to various
railroads for "lightering", cargoes
across New York harbor. Williams
also says Archbald went to New York
and asked Vice President Brownell of
the "Erie railroad to authorize the sale
to Williams and Archbald of the coal
property, when Captain May, manager
of the Erie's coal deposits, held up
the deal.
Williams also declares that William
P. Boland, a . Scranton . coal .operator,
was also a party . to the culm cod
deal, while Boland was vitally Inter
ested as a defendant In a suit before
Archbald's court.
That Boland refused to discount a
note for $500 given by. Judge Arch
bald for a one third interest In a mil
lion acre timber transaction In Vene
zuela and that later Archbald decided
the case against Boland are other
serious charges by Williams,
Repudiation by Williams of options .
and contracts, in one of wMh Arch
bald was named as the "silent "party"
has astonished the committee. Wil
liams admits his signature is append
ed to the photographed documents,
but says he signed them without read
ing their text. When the committee
convenes tomorrow a new tack wiH
be taken, regarding another coal deaL
in which Judge Archbald and a Mr.
Dainty are said to have negotiated for
coal property of the Lehigh Valley
railroad at Hillsdale, Pa.
That the Archbald affair 1 "an
other nail In the coffin of the Com
merce Court,' Is freely expressed t
the capltol. , : The politics of . the al
leged scandal is not. overshadowing
the Impeachment Inquiry but Is deep
