as a part of the court. Some attor
neys assert that they could not take
part, whereus others assert that while
they have every legal right to do so,
tt Is probable that the Justice appoint
ed by Sulzer will decline to take part
In the proceeding.
It is. of course, ridiculous to sup
pose that the political beliefs of the
members of the Court of Appeals
would have anything to do with the
outcome of the trial, but It la inter
esting. nevertheless, to note that, not
counting the designated Justices, only
one Judge of the august tribunal Is a
Republican. If the designated Jus
tices are conaldtred, it brings the Re
publican members of the Court of Ap
peals up to four, as against six Demo
crats.
Frederick Harris, of Binghamton,
court crier, will really get the court
under way whe nhis cry of “Hear ye,"
"Hear ye." is heard. The Clerk of
the Court of Appeals will not act as
clerk of the court of impeachment.
Patrick E. McCabe, clerk of the Sen
ate. will act in the capacity of clerk
to the court.
8ul*ar to File Answer.
Probably the first formal move be
fore the court will be the riling of an
answer by attorneys for Sulzer. Be
sides being a general denial of all of
the charges, this answer will probably
conclude with the prayer that the
Court of Impeachment dismiss the
charges on the ground that the Im
peachment was found when the As
sembly was in extraordinary session.
Governor Sulzer maintains that being
In such extraordinary session, called
by him for the purpose of considering
certain legislation, the Assembly
could not legally take up matters
ether than those for which the Chief
Executive summoned It into session.
Many technlealitiese will have to be
disposed of before the court can get
down to actual bueineee. There will
be much argument and oratorical fire
works on the plea of the Sulzer de
fense for the diamisral of the Im
peachment. Scores of other techni
calltles are certain to arise and It
may be some time before special
counsel can open the case for the As
sembly and the State of New York
It has not yet been decided wheth
er the Justices of the Court of Ap
peals will wear their Mack silk robes.
Also, nothing definite has ben an
nounced regarding the methods and
rules of procedure There are no
precedents In New York State for
the trial of a Governor, and the only
guide the court will have will be the
Constitution of the State and prece
dents established In other States and
the records of Federal impeachments
Therefore, one of the first duties of
the Court will be the promulgation
of a set of ru’es to guide the con
duct of the attorneys
Court Will Adjourn.
It has been feared that the session
** the Court of Appeals scheduled
t September 29 would Interfere
with the trial, which probably will
last for a considerable time. It Is
Raid now*, whoever, that If the Sulzer
trial ia still In progress on Septem
ber 29, that the Court of Appeal*
will go into session for a few min-
i utes, or just long enough to adjourn

1 STATE FARM
Hatched by Hens, They Will Be
Distributed to Oregon’s Game
Preserves.
PHILOMATH, ORBG., Sept. 13.—
Five thousand pheasants have been
raisied this season on the Oregon
Pheasant Farm of Benton County.
I Manager Gene Simpson, of the farm,
! states that a great number of these
‘ will soon be distributed over the
| State.
Large numbers were ready for
I sending out some time ago, but have
been awaiting orders from the State
I Game Warden. The birds will go to
I all sections of the State, but the
greater number to those partg where
the pheasant Is little known. None
will be given their liberty except on
designated preserves, so their protec
tion will be guaranteed.
In addition Jo the Chinese pheas
ants, a number of rarer birds, such as
the Silver and Reeves pheasants and
the Bob White quail, have been raised
this year on the farm.
About 800 pheasant hens have been
laying on the farm all the spring and
summer One hen lays from 60 to 80
eggs in a single season when confined
I In a pen. But in captivity the hens
I will not nest and will not hatch, “bo
the eggs are gathered and hatched
under common hens.
The birds are also raised with the
• hens, in ordinary coops, just as chick-
i ens are raised, with the exception of
feeding for a little pheasant must
have "live food”—bugs, worms and
insects. This is only for the first few
weeks. After that the young pheas
ants can eat grain, cracked corn,
wheat and ground oats. Houses are
not. needed for the birds, old or young.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 13.—Peter Al-
cox, of Akron. Ohio, told the city de
tectives to-day how he met Andrew
Carnegie and J. Pierpont Morgan in
a Liberty avenue hotel He lost $100
and his gold watch.
A stranger in Akron told of having
rich relatives in Pittsburg who had
bought him a gold mine in Califor
nia. But this man didn’t have enough
money to get to Pittsburg and he
persuaded Alcox to pay his way.
"We went to a hotel in Liberty
avenue,” said Alcox. “and there we
met a big follow whom my friends
introduced as Andrew Carnegie.
“Then Mr, Morgan came in and 1
was introduced. He was a very nice
man and bought several drinks."
Then, according to Alcox. the
friend took him to his hotel room.
Later in the night Alcox awakened
and his roll and gold watch were gone
and he hasn’t seen his friend since.

Husband Says School Principal
Tried to Educate Too Many
Relatives at His Expense.
KANSAS CITY. KANS., Sept. 13.-—
James E. Ellis has filed rt petition for
divorce in the Wyandotte County Dis
trict Court, in which he charges that
his wife, Emma A. Ellis, principal of
public schools of Parsons, Kans., has,
since their marriage in Chicago in
1901, posed as a single woman under
the name of Emma A. Sackett.
They lived in Parsons until June 16
of this year, and during the time
they were together, he says, they
mov#d in the best society. Every
where, he alleges, his wife was known
as Miss Sackett and she introduced
him as her cousin.
He charges that she threatened him
with “dire calamity" if he told theii
secret. After he married her, he says,
he learned she had been married be
fore, her first husband’s name being
Sackett. He is dead, Ellis says.
Educates Relatives.
His wife, he charges, never gave
him the comforts of home, but In
sisted upon turning the house into a
home for poor children of Parsons
He alleges that she spent her salary
of $100 a month and part of his salary
in keeping children and sending them
to school.
Ellis says his wife is at present in
Michigan on her vacation.
Mrs. Ellis sent a niece to the Uni
versity of Michigan four years and to
a conservatory in Boston two years.
He says she sent a son by a former
husband to Harvard at his expense
and another to Yale.
Gave Stranger Tuition.
That item to educate is followed by
the admission of a youth to free board
at their home while he was being
schooled. When the son of a farm r
was boarded and tutored free three
months to get him interested in get
ting an education, although the
youth’s parents were ab’e to pay.
Then there was another youth who
was boarded free three years to help
him get an education. And there weie
two grandnieces «ent to the Univer
sity of Kansas as a part of Mrs. El
lis’ educational campaign.
And In the fall of 1911 Mrs. Elli3
demanded and received $100 from El
lis. the petition says, to send a strange
young man to the University of Mich
igan to study law.

BUTTE, MONT.. Sept. 13.—Miss
Della Clark, tripping down Wyoming
street in the bright glare of the noon
sun yesterday, shocked Chief of Po
lice Murphy and he arrested her. She
was kept overnight in jail.
Police Judge Booher fined her $5
in court to-day for wearing the

sufficient fuel for a two days’ run,
the craft will not have to descend to
replenish its supply on the long flight
from Savannah to New York, which
will be made directly after* the first
trial flight. Then, circumstances be
ing favorable, the trip across the At
lantic will be attempted.
It is announced that the perfected
Batson hydro-aeroplane will have a
speed of 100 miles an hour, with a
probability of making better time
even than that under favorable con
ditions. Its eleven-foot propellers
make 1.000 revolutions a minute. The
original machine, including the ex
pense of putting up the aerodrome,
will cost about $50,000. Captain Bat
son declares, however, that other ma-
chinep of the same type will cost
only $20,000.
Seeks Commercial Navigation.
Altogether, the intent of the man in
the Savannah shop is to render prac
tical the commercial navigation of
the air. He is a mechanical engi
neer, acquiring thus his scientific
knack. He is a daring soldier, the
organizer of the effective Filipino
Scouts, and comes thus honestly by
his fearlessness. For years he has
been at work in perfecting the ma
chine with which the bold experi
ments will be made, and in which he
hopes to conquer the air.
Plants for the construction of the
machines will be scattered over the
United States, according to the ar
rangements made by the company.
The completed machines, however,
will not be offered for indiscriminate
sale, but will be used for passenger
traffic under the auspices of the com
pany.
The Batson triple-motored aero
yacht, as the machine is technically
known, will carry about three tons
dead weight load. Instead of being
comprised of a single plane or a pair,
the buoying area is distributed over a
large number of wings of moderate
size. These are attached to the ma
chine chamber in a way so as to yield
to the extra stresses caused when the
machine encounters the great “boul
ders” in the air, just as the springs of
an automobile yield when an uneven
road is entered.
Single Pilot Governs.
The peculiar construction of the
wing is such that the air currents are
guided under the wings inwardly in
ward the body of the machine, where
they are banked under the base por
tion, thus bringing the greatest stress
on the part where the weight is car
ried. Such is the arrangement tha:
the essential "angle of incidence" ..t
all the wings can be governed by a
single pilot, even to such an extent
that should all the engines be stopped
the wings will be automatically set at
a safe gliding angle, the course of
which is easily controlled.
Captain Batson takes the success
of his invention as a matter of course.
‘Tt is far more wonderful.” he salJ.
“that men should literally take their
lives in their hands and go from Paris
to London through the air, over se*
and land in their unavoidably un
steady craft than that the Batson
aero yacht should, with so much great -
er carrying capacity and complete au
tomatic stability, be able to go longer
distances in perfect safety. A great
loss of life appears to be inevitable
with aeroplanes of the dangerous and
unstable type now in general use. and
though the recent Titanic disaster
shows that It is Impossible to foresee
every contingency, yet it !s a safe and
comforting prediction that because
of its automatic stability no such ac
cidents as those which hitherto have
happened can possibly occur to a Bal
lon multiplane."
Governor Feeds His 11 P
Guests Sparrow Pie U. u.
New Dish Tasting Like Squab and
Reed Bird Meets With Instant
Success.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Sept. 13.—
Governor Cox is introducing sparrow
pie to his guests, and the gastro
nomic offering is popular. Besides
being savory and satisfying, it tends
to the solution of the problem of the
high cost of living.
The dish waa Introduced in Co
lumbus by Paul Meeker, formerly in
politics, now a broker. He lives in
Bexley, a Columbus suburb. Recent
ly he made a self-operating trap, in
which he can obtain a supply for a
company dinner in a few hours.
Tiie pie was good and Governor
Cox decided to introduce it in the
Gubernatorial Mansion. His guests
thought it a pie of squabs and reed
birds until informed. Sparrow trap
making has become a serious busi
ness since the feast.

Youths Confess They
Invented Meteor
Celestial Visitor Is Found to Have
Been Composed of Dynamite
and Slag.
TIVERTON, R. I. Sept. 13.—The
Tiverton meteor of August 27 was
to-day removed from the realm ot
natural phenomena by two young
men who confessed to the police that
the supposed celestial visitor was
composed of 60 pounds of dynamite
and a quantity of copper slag. The
“meteor,” which was reported to have
fallen in the Seaconnet River, was
accompanied by a blinding light and
a deafening crash. Two fishermen
later found in their nets a heavy
piece of metal which was declared
to be the fallen “meteor.” The fish
ermen put their find on exhibition,
and did a profitable business.
The police began an Investigation,
which resulted in the confession of
two young men that they had taken
the dynamite and exploded it behind
Gould’s Island in order to cause a
sensation.
FORT SILL, OKLA., Sept. 13.—In
the Wichita National Game Preserve,
ten to fifteen miles west of Fort Sill,
the United States Government has
undertaken to restore and perpetuate
the useful wild game animals and the
wild game birds that abounded in the
Southwest in frontier days.
This was the natural range of the
buffalo, the elk, the deer and the
antelope. All have been brought back
to the preserve, w’hich contains near
ly 70,000 acres. Frank Rush, an ex
perienced plainsman, is warden of the
preserve.
In March, 1905, the New York Zoo-
| logical Society sent a herd of six
male and nine female buffalo to the
preserve. The herd has increased to
forty fine full-blooded spclmens.
Dr. William T. Rornaday, the noted
naturalist, predicts that by 1918 the
herd will number a hundred.
Eleven prong-horned antelope ar
rived from Yellowstone Park In 1911.
The antelope is wild and timid, and
four died from the long railroad Jour
ney. Later five more died. A fine
buck and a fine doe survived, and
Warden Rush Is confident that they
will grow into a herd.
A herd of twelve elk Is thriving.
The native white-tailed deer is rapid
ly increasing and now numbers pos
sibly 200.

A little girl visiting Miss Richard
son saw the shiny knob on the vault
door and turned the lock. The office
force was new and no one knew the
combination. Arrangements were made
to drill into the door.
Miss Richardson dreamed of a com
bination that would open the lock. She

(From The Family Physician.)
Everyone has a beautiful skin tihder- j
neath the one exposed to view. Bear
that in mind and it will be easier to
understand the correct principle in ac
quiring a lovely complexion. Nature is
constantly shedding the top skin in flaky
particles like dandruff, only much small
er in size In abnormal conditions, or in
advancing age, these particles are not
shed as rapidly as in robust youth. The
longer they remain the more soiled or*
faded they become—that’s the imme
diate cause of a "bad complexion."
It has been discovered that ordinary
mercolizrd wax. to be had of any drug
store, will absorb these worn-out parti
cles. The absorption, while hastening
Nature’s work, goes on gradually enough
to cause no inconvenience. In a week
or two the transformation is complete
The fresh, healthy-hued, youthful under
skin Is then wholly in evidence. You
who are not satisfied with your ^om
plexions should get an ounce of merco-
uzed wax and try this treatment. Use
the wax nightly, like cold cream, wash
ing It off mornings.—Ad.vt_
