Washington. August ."1?The trial
of Judge Robert w Archbald; of the
Commt rep Court, on Impeachment pro?
ceedings brought by the House of
Representatives to-day was Bot I y the
P'na'.f :o op. n Tuesday, December 3,
the second rtriy of the next regular ses?
sion of Congress.
The postponement of thr case rame
after a long flirht by a number of Sen?
ators to have an Immediate trial, as
desired by the House of Representa?
tives.
Tl.e House mRr.ticeTB who brought
charges of misconduct against Judse
Ahchbald demanded that tho trial open
next Wednesday, August. 7 Judge
Archbald. through his attorney. A. S.
Worthlngton, presented to the Sen?
ate a formal request that it tie de?
ferred untlT October 15 on the ground
that his case could not be pic;>arcd
before that time.
After two hours In secret session,
the Senate, by a vote of \t to 10. de?
termined upon the postponement.
The Influence a postponement might
have upon the arguments for the "re?
call of Judges'" in tno approaching
campaign figured prominently In the
argument In the Senate. Chairman
Clayton, of the House managers, in ad?
vancing his demand for un immediate
hearing, declared that "tho remedy of
Impeachment Itself Is n<rw on trial."
"Shall we accentuate the charge that
Is often made,'' he said, " thnt tho
remedy of impeachment Is alow, cum?
bersome and Inefficient?"
The majority Of tho Senate voted for
the postponement because of th? de?
claration by Judge Archbald and his
attorneys that he could not prepar?
for a trln! In August. Two of Iiis
attorneys nre 111 rind have been un?
able to aid In pre;.a ring the defense.
Members of the Senate were convinced
It would be impossible to secure a full
attendance of the Snato Just before
or Just after the elections.
Judge Archbald has taken no part in
tho proceedings of the Commerco
Court since the House Jtsrttelary Com?
mittee first began the preparation of
the impeachment case against him, ac?
cording to a statement made to the
Senate by his attorney. Wortblng
ton added that tho accused Jurist
would not participate In any of the
work of the court until the charges
against him have been disposed of.

a political entity, nevertheless there
were a seore or more of colored delo
Igates hero from the South, who were"
[sorrowfully discussing just outside of
the door of the national provisional
committee room the latest phase of
this political situation. They were In?
sisting that Colonel Roosevelt had
been misled into his enunciation that
the political recognition eceordod a

else, would depend on the man him?
self rnther than hin color, and thej

lieved that the sentiments expressed

In tho South, and that only through

Roosevelt was Justified In taking hin
stand against tho Southern negro.
"I 1 ihr,red with tho Southern ne?
gro delegates to thn Republican Na?

1 told thom that If thoy did. not do
so they noiild not expect to bo reeog

I Roosevelt expects to loose much of
j the negro vote on account of his stand
against the negro In tho South. Ho
intimate.I to-day that the statement In
which he read southern negro Republi?
cans out of the party would hurt him
considerably in the States below the
Mason and Idxon line.
The Colonel was silent as to tho most
likely candidates for Vlce-Presldent.
Luke Wright, It is believed wMI by
suggested for tho latter position. Al?
though Roosevelt Is known to be fav?
orable to tho selection of a Southern
Democratic as candidate for the Vlce
Presldency, It Is likely tho honor will
go to Klr.im Johnson If ho wants It,
1 p to Convention.
The Colon.l wished to give the I in
pression that these are mattors for the
convention to settle, and he would not
have It appear that he has any inten?

[Special to The Times-Dispatch,]
Chicago, ill., August 3.?There Is
much talk of candidates for Vice-pres?
ident on the ticket t.. bo headed by.
Roosevelt. The Colonel's intimates
would like lo b, com.d that he
desires tho convention to select the
candidate to run with him. but after
tho arrival ,.r th, Callfornlans this
morning, headed by Governor .lohnson
and Francis ,1. Iletioj and tiielr thlr
ty-n!n? aisoclat. Roosevelt delegates
from the Uolden State, th< 11 v.msphere
became dense, who ;, report to the
effect that tiovernor Johnson Is to
by Roosev. m s : ittlitngmntc; this de?
spite the. unformly .,. ?. pto(j state?
ment that the Colonel favors a South?
ern Democrat for second place on th?
ticket. The .lohnson report cama about
as follows:
About the time of ihe California
primaries lust spring the report was
prevalent In Callfornl i that tho wo?
men of Oovumoi Johnson's family
urge-1 tho women of th., st no who
wero to oast their IIrat vote to fa?
vor Roosevelt at tho p Imarlcs a year
, ago. Johnson's friends believed If
l Roosevelt carried the State the Oys?
ter Bay statesman would to.-iprocate
by placing Johnson on the ticket for
\ Ice-Presidcht
opponent of I learnt.
Johnson Is forty-five years old.
His father, Grove U .lohnson. Is still
active. At one time us a representa?
tive la Congress ho was a bitter op?
ponent of William It. Hearst. John?
son and Honey were tho llvo wires
of the graft proa.-.sittons In San Fran?
cisco, which sent Abo Ruof to Jail.
Roth .lohnson and Hein y are lighters
from "Flghtvllle." They'd rather
light than breathe. Thoy are very In
KenBO Individuals. Both Snid to-day
that Roosovelt would carry C llfornla
by a tremendous plurality, rind both
believe Roosevelt t; to be elected
President. That Is the iie?U and abid?
ing conviction of the two men.
j Not a few who ere in close com?
munication with Colonel Roosevelt
have the COhv'ction that the real can?
didate for Vice-President is Luke B.
Wright, of Tennessee, who was Gov
I ernor-General of the Philippines and
Secretary of War in Roosevelt's cabl
nt. Mr. Wright was a famous Con?
federate general li< Is very popular
In the Southern States With the ad?
vent of President Tuft, Mr. Wright
save place in the Cabinet to Jacob M.
Dickinson, who succeeded Wright as
Secretary of War, Mr. Dickinson also
was a Tennessee Democrat. Dickinson,
In turn, gave place to Henry 1.. SUm
son, of New York, who was Colonel
Roosevelt's candidate for Governor la
tho campaign of 1010. The inoi'o inti?
mate advisors of president Tuft bollov*
that Mr Dickinson was more respon?
sible than any single man in tho coun?
try for the rlnal break between Taft
and Roosevelt.
Mr. Dickinson, as a special represen?
tative of Attorney-General Wicker
sham, prepared the legal papera for
tho dissolution of the rolled States
'st.,! i .pany filed at Trenton. Thoao
) papers. eminent lawyers havo re
I marked, read more llko a political
j slump speech than a legal document of
great weight add moment. They speak
,,, Roosevelt when President consont
! Ing to the taking over of the Tennej
s,,. Coal and Iron Company by tha
' United States Steel company arid th?
I Intimation Is broadly given tent Roosc
v. It na President was not fully aware
of the Importance of his act.
Itooaevelt llesponslble.
Roosevelt has replied and said he
was wholly responsible, that tn a simi?
lar emergency he would take similar
steps, and was greatly annoyed If not
desporatcly angry over th* Intimation
of his executive Ihcompotohcei
President Taft, shortly af'.or the
st'-el papers wore (lied at Trenton,
! became aware of Roosevelt's attitude
; and slated to his advisers in Wash
I Ington that he was in Chicago at
(the time the papers were-olid 'n tho
! steel suit, that he war. unaware of
, tho'r coo tents and especially had "o
! knowb-dge of the reflections on Rooso
: \ elt's act.
j Some of the advisers of tho Preal
I'don't havo remarked Hint I as tho
duty of Attorney-General Wi.kersham,
I to see to it thai President Taft had
I been made fully ncqtlilltttnd ?elth the
Contents of thoso papers, and others
, have Insisted that it W?S ihr duty of
the president noi to permit Attorney
General Wlckshani to file papers of
j that Importance without knowing their
1 contents. Oh the other hand, thero
I are advisers of President Taft whj
have remarked that steel papers or
no steel papers. Robsevoll would have.
I been a candidate against President
1 Taft Just the same, thai In reality he
I hoped that the national convention of
IOCS could b, stamped for hint, and
i during the Intervening years between
1?04 and tOOS Roosovelt did not ceaao
: to regret this impulsiv? utte an e made
In the White lioiisi on the tight "f
his election In 1001 that he would not
J again be candidate for the presidency.
The T.ift argument, In essence and In
? effect. Is that Roosevelt's an it udo to
I ward'' Taft w'thln the last two years
I has been duo enlrely to the refusal
of President Taft to permit Roij.seveil
to run til's admln'stratlon. n^w York
State Republicans protested to Pred

Mr. StlrriSon to bo Secretary of War.

and would conciliate In a m- amiro the
