3 A - ITEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA., SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1013. SULZER AND TAMMANY ARRAYED FOR BATTLE | GOVERNORS WHO HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED AND ACCUSED EXECUTIVE OF EMPIRE STATE WHO NOW FACES CHARGES BROUGHT BY TAMMANY OF HIGH CRIME AND MISDEMEANORS ON STATE FARM Hatched by Hens, They Will Be Distributed to Oregon’s Game Preserves. PHILOMATH, ORm., S*pt. 18.— Five thousand pheasants have been raided this season on the Oregon Pheasant Farm of Benton County. 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 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 Is little known. None will be given their liberty except on designated pre.serves 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 form all the «*pr!ng 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 alw 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.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 12.—Peter Al cox, of Akron, Ohio, told the city de tectives to-day how he met Andrew C’arnegio and J. Picrpont Morgan in a Liberty avenue hotel. He lost $100 and his gold watoh. 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 o 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 Ah ox, the friend took httn to his hotel room. Later in the night Alcox awakened and hi* 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., Pert. 13.— James E. Ellis has filed a petition for divorce In the Wyandotte County Dis trict Court, in which he charges that his wife, Emma A. Elll#, 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. Faokett. 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 theli 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 pays. 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 udiool. 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 saye 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 hmno 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 able to pay. Then there was another youth who was boarded free three year» to help him get ari education. And there were two grandnieces sent to the Univer sity of Kansas as a part of Mrs. El lis’ 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*. SAYS MOUSE WAS IN STEW.

Wife Beater Cured by Whipping Post Scare Judge Sabath Frighten* Prisoner Into Promise To Be Good In the Future. CITTCAGO, Sept. 13—The threat of a whipping post for wife beaters by Municipal Judge Sabath In the Hyde Park Court yesterday was enough to make John Firber, No. 1161 South Park avenue, plead for mercy. "I think I will let the policeman who arrested you take you downstairs to the whipping post,” said Judge Sab ath to him. "You know w r e have one for wife beaters now.” "Fine me, Judge,” pleaded Firber with his arms extended, "but don’t do that.” After he had made a promise never to hit his wife against the court dh- charged him. i FRECKLES Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Re* move Them With the Othlne Proscription.

HGLDCK jrojaTx, CAxai/ lnov asvQ SM IS SET FOB mi OF Accused N. Y. Executive Appears Confident of Exoneration on Eve of Facing High Tribunal. ALBANY, Sept. 13.—For the first time in the history of New York State a chief executive will go to trial for "high crimes and misdemeanors" when Governor William Sulzer faces, on Thursdav next, a majority of the Senate and a majority of the Court cf Appeals sitting as a high court of impeachme* . Special counsel for the State of New York to prosecute the impeach ment will summon Sulzer to the bar. Aaron J. Levy, majority leader of the Assembly and chairman of the Assembly Board of Managers, will have direct charge of the prosecution, for it was the Assembly that im peached Sulzer, as prescribed by the Constitution. Sulzer. who still main tains his right to the Governorship, will be defended by a brilliant array Of counsel. With Sulzer on trial the battle be tween New Y'ork’s "People's Govern or,” and Tammany Hall, the political organization that made him and Is now setting out to break him, will near its end. It Is a political quarrel that will go down in history. It will be a dramatic moment when Sulzer steps before the court of im peachment, with Chief Justice Cullen, of the Court of Appeals, presiding. There have been many rumors of what Sulzer’s defense will be, but no definite statement of what course it will take could be obtained from any of his counsel to-day. 6ulzer Appears Confident. On the eve of his trial Sulzer ap pears confident. So, for that matter, do his enemies. They say that the court of impeachment will not be af fected in any way by the feeling of popular sympathy for Sulzer. It will be a cold, calm proposition of wheth er Sulzer was or was not guilty of malfeasance in office—a question of whether, as charged by the Assem bly, he did or did not speculate in Wall street with campaign funds and of whether he did or did not fail ') give a true and correct list of his cam paign contributions in his sworn statement of campaign receipts and expenditures. Tt is possible that a dramatic, per haps pathetic, touch will be given the proceedings by the introduction of the name of Mrs. Sulzer. It is said to be likely that Mrs. Snl/er will stand bv tbe statement credited to her In which a,"is alleged to have said that it was she who speculated In Wa.1 itreet with campaign funds, without the Governor’s knowledge. If this is to be the Sulzer line of defense. Mrs. Fulzer will be forced to make verv humiliating admissions upo\i the wit ness stand, an ordtal that would be verv trying to her and a proceeding which even Sulzer’«■ worst enemies jvould prefer to avoid. Refore the Court of Impeachment can commence to hear the charges drawn by the Assembly, there must be at least four of the judges of the Pourt. of Appeals present and at least 6 members of the Renat*. Justices Who Try Case. Edgar M. Pullen Is Phief Ju* Ice nf the Pouft of Appeals. \sPoda Vd with him are Justices .Tohi Clint Gray. William E. Werner Wlllai Rartlett. Frederick Collins William H Cuddeback and John W. Hogan. There are three other associate Justices, not elected, as were all nf the foregoing, but designated by Governor* at d'fPer- pnt times because of the press of liti gation before the court. Emory A. ri’9<v* was designated an assoelate justice in 1906. Frank H Hlscock U also an associate juBtlce. designated hv Governor Sulzer. Justice Nathan Miller was designated by Sulzer him self in January last. There is much difference ef opin NOTED CASES OF IMPEACHMENT 1797—William Blount, Senator from Tennessee, im peached by the United States Senate for treason.

Removed from office and disqualified from again holding public office under the Government of the United States. JtA. IZfGcAJJ , 6VL2.E/^ ion as to whether these designated justices will be legally;entitled to sit as a part of the court. Some attor neys asFiert that they could not take part, whereas others assert that while they have every legal right to do so, it is probable that the justice appoint ed by Sulzer will decline to take part in the proceeding. It la, 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 19 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 considered, it brings the Re* publican member* of the Court of Ap peals up to four, as against six Demo crats. Frederick Harris, of Ringha'mton, 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. Sulzer to File Answer. Probably the first formal move be fore the court will be the filing of an answer by attorneys for Sulzer. Be sides being a general denial of all of the charge*, 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 thRn those for which the Chief Executive summoned It into session. Many teohnlcalitiese will have to be 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 dismisMal 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 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 record* 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 of the Court of Appeals scheduled for September 29 would interfere with the trial, which probably will last for a considerable time. It is said nov\ r , whoever, that if the Sulzer trial is still in progress on Septem ber 29, that the Court of Appeals will go Into session fo^ a few min utes, or Just long enough to adjourn to a later date. Richard Barber, Clerk of the Court of Appeals, Is go ing Ahead with his work of making up an order calendar of cases for the Court on September 29. Each Senator is entitled to com pensation of $10 a day during his service on the Court of Impeachment. Senators get $16 a day as Legisla tors, which would bring their incomes up to $25 a day during the trial had not they already drawn their sala ries. This scale of compensation is pro vided by the Constitution of the State. The Code of Criminal Pro cedure, however, says that Senatori are entitled to receive the same com pensation as Asociate Justices of the Court of Appeals while sitting in a court of impeachment, which is $10,000 a year with expense* ot $3,700. It is contended by some that the Legislature had no authority to enact a law which clashed with the Constitution, and probably the Sena tors will look at it in the same way and be satisfied with their $10 a day. The Assembly board of managers, which will have charge of the As sembly's end of the case, is composed of Aaron J. Levy, of New York, chairman; Patrick J. McMahon, Thirty-fourth District; Abraham Greenberg, Twenty-sixth District; William J. Clllen, Second District; Theodore H. Ward, Fifteenth Dis trict; J. V. Fitzgerald, Seventh Dis trict; Tracy P. Madden, First Dis trict; Thorrnu* K. Smith. Third Dis trict, and Herman F. Schnlrel, of On tario County. Smith and Schnirel are Republicans. CASKET AND RING ARE STOLEN FROM A GRAVE ALBANY. N. Y., Sept. 18 —An Inves- tigation of the grave of Mrs. Pauline Blum revealed her body reposing in the rough box. The casket hud been stolen. Her wedding ring finger had been sev ered and the ring was missing.
