«s a part of the court. Some attor
neys asmert that they could not take
part, whereas others assert that while
they have every legal right to do so, 5
It Is probable that the Justice appoint- j
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 Is Inter- j
sstlng. nevertheless, to note that, not j
counting the designated Justices, only |
one judge of the august tribunal Is a !
Republican. If the designated Jus
tices are Considered. 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 nhls 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 K. McCabe, clerk of the Sen
ale, will act in tlie capacity of clerk
to tha court.
Sulzer to Fils Answer.
Probably the first formal move be
fore the court will be the tiling 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
other than those for which the Chief
Executive summoned It Into session.
Many technicalities will have to he
disposed of before the court can get
down to actual business. There will
be much argument and oratorical fire
works on the plea of the Sulzer de
fense for the dismissal of the im
peachment. Scores of other techni
calities 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

peals will wear their black .silk robes.
Also, nothing definite has ben an- j
nounced regarding the methods and

precedents in New York State for.
the trial of a Governor, and the only I
guide the court will have will be the
Constitution of the State and prece- |

Therefore, one of the first duties of

ON STATE EARM SUED FOR DIVORCE
Hatched by Hens, They Will Be
Distributed to Oregon's Game
Preserves.
PHILOMATH, OREO., Sept. 13.—
Five thousand pheasants have been
raised this season on the Oregon
Pheasant Farm of Benton County.
I Manager Gene Simpson, of the farm,
i states that a great number of these
will soon be distributed over the
State.
I>arge numbers were ready lor
sending out some time ago, but have
been awaiting orders from the State
Game Warden. The birds will go to
all sections of the State, but the
greater number to those parts where
the pheasant ls little known. None
will be given their liberty except on
designated preserves, so their protec
tion will be guaranteed.
In addition to 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
in a pen. But in captivity the hens
will not nest and will not hatch, so
the eggs are gathered and hatched
under common hens.
The birds are alro raised with the
hens, in ordinary coops, Just as chick
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.

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 fellow whom my friends
Introduced as Andrew Carnegie.
“Then Mr. Morgan came in and I
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, KAN'S., Sept. 13.—
Jambs E. Hills has filed a 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
moved 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 ls 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 montli 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 farmer
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 we/e
two grandnieces *ent to the Univer
sity of Kansas as a part of Mrs. El-
11r‘ educational campaign.
And in the fall of 1911 Mrs. Ellis
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.

sufficient fuel for a two day's’ 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
probabllltv 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
chines 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 ls 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
Ms fearlessness. For y'ears 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 w'ill be scattered over the
United Spates, according to the ar
rangements made by the company’.
The completed machines, however,
w’ill 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 ls technically
known, will carry about three tons
dead weight load. Instead of being
comprised of a single piano 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 13-
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 that
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 b*» stopped
the wings will be automatically set at
a 5>afe gliding angle, the course of
which is easily controlled.
Captain Batson takes the success
of his invention as a matter of course.
“It Is far more wonderful.” he said,
“that men should lJterallv take their
lives in their hands and go from Paris
to London through the air, over sea
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 ls impossible to foresee
every contingency, yet It Is a safe and
comforting prediction that because
of itfc automatic stability’ no such ac
cidents as those which hitherto have
happened can possibly occijr to a Bat-
*on multiplane."
Governor Feeds His |j P
Guests Sparrow Pie U. u
New Dish Tasting Like Squab and
Reed Bird Meets With Instant
Success. j
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 tpnds
to the solution of the problem of the
high cost of living.
The dish was 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.
The pie was good and Governor
Cox decided to Introduce it in the i
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 takeh
the dynamite and exploded it behind
Gould's Island in order to cause a
sensation.
GIRL DREAMS COMBINATION
AND OPENS COUNTY VAULT
NEVADA, 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.
Lesson in Scientific
Complexion Renewing
(From The Family Physician.)
Everyone has a beautiful skin under
neath the one exposed to view. Bear
that in mind and it will be easier io
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
mercolizod 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, hoalthy-hued, y’outhful under-
skin ls then wholly in evidence. You
who are not satisfied with your ^om
plexions should get an ounce*of merco-
llzod wax and try this treatment. Use
the wax nightly, like cold cream, wash
ing it off morn ing». —-Ad-vL
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, which contains near
ly 70,000 acres. Frank Rush, an ex
perienced plainsman, ls 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-homed 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.
