2 D ITEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA., SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1013. GOV. SULZER READY TO FACE AUGUST TRIBUNAL GOVERNORS WHO HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED AND ACCUSED EXECUTIVE OF EMPIRE STATE WHO NOW FACES CHARGES BROUGHT BY TAMMANY OF HIGH CRIME AND MISDEMEANORS _A.T/©ejst: tfXlSS'JWXfSKL -vrii/LXA-r-t, vr jr©jeT>c OAjGbx^u^A. ag^o dll ELIEIBILITf OF APPOINTEES Justice of Court of Appeals Named by Accused Governor May Withdraw From Case, Continued from Page 1. 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 ' to a later date.

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.

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. POSED IS SINGLE: FDR DIODE Captain Batson of Savannah Will Organize Company to Promote Passenger Multiplane. 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. Police Chief Shocked; Nabs Vision in X-Ray Wearer of Gauzy Dress Spends Night in Jail; Pays Fine, and Hears Lecture. Continued from Page 1. 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 diaphanous costume. "You women have got to dress de cently in Butte," said the court. 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. In the Wichita Park of 70,000 Acres Great Care Is Taken to Perpetuate Them. 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. GIRL DREAMS COMBINATION AND OPENS COUNTY VAULT NR\ ADA, MO., Sept. 13.—A dream aided Miss Blanch Richardson, Deputy Treasurer of Vernon County, and. as a results the door of the vault in the Treasurer’s office is open again. 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 tried it and the lock opened.

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_ o pening of th« Seml-MontMy an c e s In the Ball Room of the Kim It a 11 House Sept. 18. 1913 Tickets now on Cable Piano Company and M. & M.
