Washington, Jan. .6.

Friendship for his Scranton associates, with whom he had lived and worked for years, was the motive that led Judge Robert W. Archbald of the United States com- mer.ee court to, negotiate with officials' of the Erie and Lehigh Valley railroads over the settlement of land matters, and that induced him to indorse certain notes, according to the statements today of the accused jurist, when he took the stand before the impeachment court of the senate to testify in his own behalf. Judge Archbald followed his wife on the witness stand. He repeatedly denied that any improper motives influenced his actions or that he. had sought to use corruptly his power as a federal judge to intluce the railroads to do certain things.

Mrs. Archbald, telling of" the" trip to Europe, which Judge Archbald enjoyed at the expense of Henry W. director in the Great and other railroads, said Mr. Cannon was her cousin, that the two families had been intimate for years, and that the-invitation to the Archbalds to go to Europe in 1910 came to Mrs. Archbald personally.

Bursted water mains have covered several streets with thick sheets of ice, which has blocked street car traffic. In the business district none is to be hud except hat delivered in water wagons. The VJvcr Jordan is frozen ncarlv solid. Early tonight the mercury was six dcgives above and rapidly falling. Department officials announced tonight that the water situation in Lake, City was critical.

Every source of -the cityst -wnrer- solid and even with warmer weather tomorrow It. lie hours at least before1 the mains will carry the normal supply. The supply in two of the three storage reservoirs lias been exhausted and the third which supplies the Inislness section of the city, is held in reserve for fires. Guests in the laree hotels suffered night-and the resldcncisectlon-maLiu cally was without water. The sanitary refl ready has become a menace.

Gangs of workmen patrolled tho streams toil ay- and dynamited Ice gorges, succeeding in opening up a small Mow from Big Cottonwood canyon, but this wus used before it reached the reservoirs. This Is the first time such a condition has existed here. SNOW IN MOUNTAINS IS HOLDING UPALL TRAINS Seattle. Jan. 6.

Four inches of snow fell in Seattle today and tonight the snow is still falling thickly. In the Cascade mountains, where the northern transcontinental roads have been fighting blizzards for a week, a light snow fell all day and developed into a blizzard nightfall. The snow, which lay 14 feet deeo at the summit last night, is being piled higher hourly. As yet the Northern Pacific and the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul, the only lines which have been operating trains for the past three days, have experienced little trouble from the present storm anil officials are working extra rotaries and gangs of laborers to 'keep the tracks clear.

The Northern Pacific a short tleup of its mountain division as a result of a collision between an cast-bound passenger train and a freight in which the engineer of the passenger train was killed early today. The line was, cleared at noon and train movements were resumed. Incoming trains were from (i to 10 hours late. The Great Northern continues to operate its overland trains over the Northern Pacific tracks between Seattle and Spokane, the wreckage from the collapsed snowshed near Cascade Tunnel not yet having been cleared away. Great Northern officials hope-to have -their road open tomorrow but it is feared the present storm will delay the work of clearing the line.

The Milwaukee's mountain division is clear, but trains from Chicago are reported four" hours late. V. It. Smith, conductor of the rotary snow plow which exploded In the Cascade mountains last week, injuring five men. died in a hospital at Everett last night.

The outlook tonight was not encouraging.

The weather bureau predicted a calm, -windless night-, with temperatures as low or lower as those which shattered last night the record of 30 years. Within a rdius of 123 miles of Los Angeles, an area which embraces practically all of the important orange and lemon growing section, smudge pots by the thousands smoldered, emitting dense clouds of smoke which, It was heped, would raise the temperatures within the orchards and groves sufficiently to prevents any further frees-ing of fruit on the trees. These smudge operations w-ere in progress all of last night and today and will continue until the cold wave abates. When the cold wave passes it will be possible to estimate the damage not, only to the citrus crop, but to winter vegetable crops and the orchards of walnut and deciduous fruit trees, which also suffered severely, According to the sales managers of various growers' associations hardly (Continued on Page Three.) SITUATION CRITICA PENALIZING STOPPED States have no power, since passage of Hepburn law, to impose penalty for failure to furnish cars in interstate shipments. Laws now in force in Minnesota, Kentncky and Nebraska are annulled Contracts limiting liability are not prohibited.

Washington. Jan. 6. Thefpower of the states over railroads and express companies suffered a hard blow today when the supreme court held that, since the passage of the Carmaek amendment to the interstate commerce law in 1906, the states had ceased to have the right to annul contracts between railroads and shippers limiting the liability for the loss for Interstate shipments. Another serious blow was delivered when tlie court held that the states, since the passage of the interstate commerce acts and particularly the Hepburn law in 1906, had no power to penalize railroads for failure.

furnish cars for interstate shipments. In this connection the court declared unconstitutional' the- Minnesota reciprocal demurrage law authorizing the recovery by shippers of a dollar a day for every day on which the railroad failed to furnish a car for the removal of freight. The court pointed out today that previous to the passage of the Car-mack amendment, the court had uphold an Iowa statute, under which a contract-limiting- of loss had been annulled and also had approved a Pennsylvania -case in which it was held that the public policy of the state was opposed to such contracts. As a result of the pas-sago of the amendment, however, the court, sbealung through Justice Lurton, held that congress had manifested its intention to deal with the subject of carrier liabilities for interstate shipments and, that being the case, 'the state laws must give way. Consequently its decision at once annulled the Kentucky and Nebraska laws holding such contracts void.

The court not only annulled state laws, which seek to regulate the liability, but it held that the federal law, as expressed in the Carmaek amendment, dealt with the damage of railroad shipments and that it did not prohibit contracts limiting liabilities in return on a low rate. Justice Lurton said it was just as reasonable to base rates on value as on the character of the shipments. Furthermore, he added, it was not conformable to plain principles of justice, that the shipper might understate the value of his property to reduce the rate and then recover a large value in. case of loss. As to the reciprocal demurrage law for interstate commerce, the court said that -the Hepburn rate law expressly fixed the duty on carriers to furnish cars, and that precluded the states from acting, further on that subject.

ROSE MAY TELL WHAT HE KNOWS TO GRAFT PROBERS New York, Jan. 6. "Bald Jack" Rose, whose evidence helped to send former Police Lieutenant Becker to the Sing Sing death house, may be a witness before the extraordinary grand jury investigating charges of police graft here.

.6. Joseph Lamb, chief-clerk of the government land office since last July, was arrested at the instance of County Attorney C. J. Marshall, charged with an assault in the first degree upon Clarence E. Mc-Keen, register of the land office.

County Attorney Marshall acted after he had seen Mr. McKeen, who is confined to his home under care of a phyiscian, with three or four cuts at the back of his skull, inflicted, it Is charged, by Lamb with a knife. As to the origin of the affair, it seems that the register and the clerk had some words regarding the change in the. position of a typewriting machine In the office and this led to the encounter. Lamb had some finger marks.

on his throat, but is not injured otherwise. His claim is that he was attacked. Mr. McKeen has held the position of register for nearly seven years and has been prominent as one of the republican leaders of the state. His friends were astounded over the affair and alarmed when the nature of his.

wounds were reported. He Is not, how. ever, seriously hurt. Mr. Lamb Is a southerner and Is not widely known here.

There was a big crowd, as always, to see the senate and the house launched on the fin-day session. In. both branches of the assembly the organizations agreed upon by the caucuses of last night naturally wore selected and Governor Stewart will start off with a senate and a house of ih ame polirtiiiil complexion to him up in his policies. His message will be read by himself In Joint assembly In the house at noon tomorrow. The disposition of the democrats is to do their utmost to carry out their pledges made in the democratic state platform.

The standing committees of the senate will be made up rfy a special committee of three, as already stated In the Standard. In the house, the speaker will name the committees. The progressives wanted a commlttep to do that in tho house but tho motion to that effect was voted rlown largi ly.

As the clerk was about to call the roll Martin Darkan. of Cascade suggested that some of the members mllit not have their certificates, and wanted that formality dispensed with.

"I regret." said Speaker MacDonald. "that you will find your speaker Is not a speaker. It has been usual on tnese occasions to announce a programme for the session. I have no programme. So far as is consistent with the dignity of the chair and the rules of the house, the speaker will see that every plank of the democratic platform adopted at Great Falls is enacted Into law.

All the parties are pledged the same way so we ought to get along harmnoiously. While elected by the democrats and believing that to the victors belong the RECALL OF AS MAYOR Special hispateh to tiie Standard. 'Missoula, Jan. 6. Petitions are being circulated for the recall of James M.

Rhoades. mayor of elected to his office last spring. The originator of the petition Is unknown, but a number have been sent out and one Vas received by the mayor himself this afternoon. A special cltizens'vcom-mittee was appointed some time ago to assist in figuring out ways and means t' reduce the city's expenses and put it well within the municipal income. The investigation thus far shows the city to be in as good condition this year as for several years past, while there has been a great deal of efficient work, especially street Improvement, carried on to completion.

The petition' for the mayor's recall charges extravagance. It reads as follows: "We. the undersigned, qualified electors of the city of Missoula, petition you to submit to the electors the question of recalling and removing he mayor, James M. Rhoades, and the election of a successor. Removal of the mayor Is sought on the following grounds: He has recklessly plunged the city in debt.

The minority held that the circuit court found the-indictment did not $0 charge and that for that reason the indictment was faulty.

According to all the justices the correctness fthe holding of circuit court as to the indictment charging a "withholding" and, as to the sufficiency of the indictment on other technical grounds, had to be accepted at this time without question by the supreme court. The, points thus left undecided today may be made the basis for bringing the case to the court again, if the defendants are convicted.

HALL Special Dispatch to the Standard. Helena, Jan. 6. For the first time in the history of Montana a straight democratic state administration was inaugurated today. The only department of the state government, which is not democratic, is the judicial, the supreme court consisting, of republicans and one democrat, the clerk of the court, John T.

Athey, being also a republican. The induction of the democratic state officials this morning was an interesting event and despite the severe cold there were many people at the state house when Governor Stewart took the oath of office. It was administered by Chief Justice Brantly. The ceremony was a simple one and was witnessed by many personal friends of the governor and some relatives. In the supreme court.

Justice Vaiulevcnter replied to the argument that running a corner stimulates Instead of restrains interstate trade, by saying that this might be true for a time, but that the corner was forbidden by the act because it thwart-eel the usual operation of the laws of supply and demand, withdrew the commodity' from the normal current of trade, enhanced prices and produced practically the same evils as the suppression-of-competition. He said that the statute did not apply to corners of purely interstate trade, nor where the effect upon interstate trade was indirect, and added, in tho present case, the trade was not intrastate and the effect was not indirect. The court said that it made no difference that there was no allegation of a specific intent to restrain interstate trade. "The conspirators must be held to'have intended the necessary and direct consequences of their acts and cannot be heard to say to the contrary," Justice Vandeventer explained.

Judge Archbald declared he had had no interest whatever in the settlement of thecase of the Marion Coal company of Scranton against the Delaware, Lackawanna Western railroad. He went to officials of the railroad in that case, he said, as a friend of George M.

Watson, attorney for the coal company, and C. G. Boland. one of the owners of the coal company. He had no thought of reward his efforts, said, and no purpose to influence the railroad to make a favorable settlement.

Upon one point only was the jurist subjected to much questioning by members of tire senate. This was in refer-enee to the charge that, as a member of the commerce court, he had written to Helm Bruce, an attorney for the Louisville Nashville railroad, as to the evidence presented in the case of that railroad against the interestate commerce commission, tried before the commerce court. Judge Archbald declared certain points in the evidence were not clear and that he had written to Mr. Bruce to clear them. The points at issue, he said, had no part in the settlement of the case.

Members of the senate asked whether he had shown the correspondence to other members of the commerce court or' had informed them of it. Judge Archbald said he had not. Senator Reed asked whether he thought it proper for adjudge, in passing on doubtful points in evidence, to ask the opinion of the only attorney likely to coincide with his own views.
