bnld of the Commerce Court of misbe-
linvjor anil misdemeanors In office was

senilation of the witnesses for the de-
fense.
Today's witnesses included C. La Rue

Hudson Coal Company; C. H. VonStorch,
a Scranton lawyer; W. W. Itisinger, a coal

Federal Court in Middle Pennsylvania, and
T. F. Farrell of New York.
Most of the witnesses testified in regard
to Judge Arelibald's alleged activity iu re-
gard to the culm dump leases and the
discounting of notes bearing his name.
$500 FUR EUROPEAN TBIP.
Muuson and Searle were examined in re-
gard to the raising of $oU0 as a purge
towards defraying Judge Archbald's ex-
penses *n a trip to Europe in 11110.
Mr. Munst.n said he was asked to sub-
scribe to the purse, but that he declined
because of his high regard for the judge
and his desire not to embarrass him.
"I would like to say," added Hanson,
"that I always found Judge Archbald ab-
solutely fair and Impartial and that I never
tried a :<o before a more honorable and
upright juu^'e than h«."
Mr. Searle declared that since testifying
before the House Judiciary Committee he
had refreshed his memory in regard to
the purse. He said the plan to present It
originated In talk about giving the judge
a dinner before leaving for Europe. It
developed that only eight or nine could at-
tend the dinner and so those who had
planned the affair agreed to give the judge
the money raised. They feared the judge
would refuse it and so put the money
raised in an envelope marked "sailing
orders do not open until two days out."
Air. Searle said some lawyers complained
because they were not asked to contribute.
FEARED CRITICISM OF CREDITORS.
Mr. Searle said that Judge Archbald
came to him upon receiving a letter from
the Judge's wife's cousin, Henry VV. Can-
non, inviting him to be his guest on the
European trip. The witness explained that
Judge Archbald hesitated to accept be-
cause those he owed might feel he should
have used the money it would cost for
the trip in paying his debts.
Mr. Seurle was pressed as to the judge's
debts. He insisted there were debts, but
that the judge's credit was good.
"Judge Archbald has been held and is
now held in the highest respect by the
people of Scranton," said the witness.

JAMES J. HEATHCOCK.
—Smith Photo.
J. J. Heatheock, who seeks to be ap-
pointed United States Marshal of the
Western District of Texas, was born in
Wilson County thirty-eight years ago,
and lias lived in and about Floresville
all his life. As deputy and as Sheriff,
he served Ills home county six years
and made a record In that office of which
his friends are proud.
Mr. Heathcock's supporters are quite
sure no candidate for the marshalship
can present a better Democratic record
than he. When lie w as beaten for re-
election as Sheriff, it is said, he could
have won the place without opposition
had he consented to withhold his support
from his party organization and Its ticket,
lie preferred to stay with the old ship,
and defeat was the portion he'won for
his party loyalty and regularity,
When Congressman John N. Garner
was making his first great struggle for
the nomination, Mr. Heatheock rallied all
his friends to the Uvalde man's support.,
and Garner swept Wilson County with
ease. Men behind Mr. Heatheock in his
present aspirations say he never flick-
ered in a party duty during all the years
of his life.
Mr. Heatheock was one of the first men
In Wilson County, his friends declare,
to announce his support of Woodrow Wil-
son for the Democratic presidential nom-
ination. He has a receipt for $100 signed
by Ftolla Wells as treasurer of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, and which
tells the story of Mr. Heathcock's devo-
tion to his party, even after the Balti-
more convention had done its work.
Supporters of the Wilson County man
say his record as a peace officer and
in private life, his party devotion and
his general efficiency in every post he
has ever tried to fill guarantee the mak-
ing of a splendid United States Marshal
should he receive the appointment. They
are besieging Senators Culberson and
Sheppard, Congressman Garner and
others and are vory hopeful of getting
their endorsement.
Mr. Heatheock is moving with his ac-
customed energy and is leaving nothing
undone that will help along his cause.
It is probable that, at tlie proper time,
lie will be one of the Texas colony tem-
porarily sojourning In Washington, and
his friends expect him to render a splen-
did account of himsolf.

IF THEY HAD DONE THEIR DUTY,
SAYS JUDGE AN DERSOX, THERE
WOULD BE NO TRIAL.
STCDY Of RIOTS IS H
INDIANAPOLIS, lad.. D. , 14-Kiots
and assaults in labor dispute in Cleve- j
land, Ohio, out of which, the (.:overnm?nt
charges, grew explosions against the em-
ployers of nonunion men, were inquired
into at the "dynamite conspiracy" trial
today.
Iu hearing the testimony of Petsr J.
Smith, former president ami business
agent of a local iron workers' uuion in
Cleveland, Federal Judge Anderson, who
Is hearing the trial of the forty-one union
officials, said in reference to local as-
saults in labor disputes that had the lo-
cal authorities "done their duty there
would not have been any need of a trial
here."
District Attorney Charles Miller had
stated that there were explosions, for
which 110 one hail been prosecuted, which
were the basis of the present prosecutions
by the Government for Illegal transporta-
tion of explosives. The District Attorney
said "a reign of terror" had existed in
Cleveland "second only to that in Los
Angeles."
IMPLICATED IN ASSAULTS.
Smith denied he had caused any ex-
plosions, but he admitted In- was impli-
S * assaults "when called upon to
defend himself."
As typical of the assaults the Govern-
ment stated that one nonunion workman
had had his teeth knocked out by anoth-
er man's heel.
"With fights going 011 there in Cleve-
land week after week and no one arrest-
ed for causing explosions, I would liko
to ask what kind of a government have
you In Cleveland?" asked Mr. Miller.
"We have as good a government as
anywhere in the country," replied Smith.
"But they never prosecute anyone, do
they."'
"Yes, some."
Smith was charged with complicity In
causing explosions at North Randall and
Akron, Ohio, near Cleveland.
"Sixteen witnesses have appeared
against you," sail Mr. Miller. "Among
them were two little girls, who said they
saw you and George Anderson carrying
a box near North Randall the night of
the explosion. Do you say all those wit-
nesses did not tell the truth?"
"SOME TOLD THE TRUTH."
"Some of them told the truth, but I
didn't know anything about the explo-
sion until the next day."
Another witness testified Smith was at
the union hall the night of tlie explosion
at Akron. «
Smith admitted when he returned to
Cleveland for a visit a month alter the
trial began here ho gave a newspaper
Interview in which he said, in reference
to the defendants, "you never would think
they were there on serious business. To
see them you would think they were
there attending a ball game."
All sessions of the second annual older
Christian boys' conference, now in pro-
gress at the Travis Park Methodist Epis-
copal Church, were well attended yes-
terday, and the Interest displayed showed
that a good work is being accomplished.

and no part of the printed programme
was omitted.
Following the early morning watch
service there was an hour of song at
9 o'clock. The devotional period was
presided over by Rev. Brooks I. Dickey.
Yale Hicks made an excellent address
on the subject "Bible Study, the Why and
the How." He mentioned the Importance
of Bible study from a literary stand-
point, urged that ignorance of the Scrip-
tures costs Christian service dearly, and
contended that it is man's greatest help.
"A man who poses as a statesman and
does not know the Bible," said he, "Is
like a man who claims to be a great
mathematician and doesn't know the mul-
tiplication table."
"The Older Christian Boy as a Teacher
of Bible Classes for Younger Boys" was
Ihe title of a paper read by Francis G.
Ragsdale, the discussion oi which was
led by .1. L. Hunter of Dallas.

World-wide movement," was the eheme

ter. Milton Arnold read a paper dealing
with "The Opportunity for Work in Our
Own Community."
Rev. Phillip Cook discussed "The Older
Christian Boy and His Relation to the
Community," and Sbelton Crane read a
paper on "Opportunities for Service in
Our Own City." Blake W. Godfrey of
Houston led the interesting discussion.

prised the following: Song service, de-
votional period, led by Rev. Brooks 1
Dickey; paper by Frank A. Huck Jr.,

by Cole Kelley, paper on "The Organ-
ized Sunday School Class" by Harold
Cather, paper on "The Knights of King
Arthur and Similar Organizations" by
Bruno Prassel. AH the papers were dis-
cussed.
In delivering an address on the "A 11-
round Boy," Blake W. Godfrey said
such a boy Is fair, even on the baseball
field; he Is not a slave to habits that
are vicious; ho is fearless enough to
stand up for the right; he is faithful ttt
Jesus Christ.
In the evening the adult conference and
lunch was well attended. J, L. Hunter
led In the discussions. This was followed
by a song service and devotional period.

Companions" was the theme of'an in-

cruelties.
The full report sheets submitted to tho
directors showed every form of cruelty
and privation suffered by the society's
