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 er the Justices of the Court of Ap peals will wear their black .silk robes. Also, nothing definite has ben an- j 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 I guide the court will have will be the Constitution of the State and prece- | dent? 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 rules to guide the con duct of the attorneys Court Will Adjourn. It has been feared that the session | *** the Court of Appeals scheduled er>r <5^l»temher 29 would interfere , with the trial, which probably will last for a considerable time. It is ! said now. whoever, that If the Sulzer j trial Ls still in progress on Septem- | her 25*. that the Court of Appeals j will go Into session for a few min- j utes, or Just long enough to adjourn to a later date.

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.

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 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.

Captain Batson of Savannah Will Organize Company to Promote Passenger Multiplane. —t Continued from Page 1. 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. 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 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. FRECKLES Don't Hide Them With a Ve!l» Re move Them With the Othlne Prescription.
