Albany. N. Y., Sept 22.--Folio-wing the conclusion of the second session of the high court of impeachment con­ vened to determine the fitness of Wil­ liam Sulzer to continue as governor of New York two important points seem to be estabyshed. The first is that It Is the purpose of the 48 senators and nine appeals judges sitting In Judgment on the in­ dictment returned against Mr. Sulzer by the state assembly, to prevent eva­ sion of the main issue involved in the proceeding and that all legal techni­ calities, even when based upon the fundamental rights of the accused gov­ ernor to seek vindication, shall be swept aside in order to arrive at his guilt or Innocence. The second development of Friday bore only collateral relation to the undertakings of the high court. The suspended governor himself provided V It by recognizing Martin H-. "Glynn, the ?»\ > ' lieutenant governor, as the acting gov- . error of the state. i|| f Mr. Sulzer, who did not appear be- fore the high court or In the regular Office of the governor, delegated his secretary, Mr. Piatt, to advise Mr. Glynn of his decision to refrain from performing further the acts or the ,,,.(V executive until his fate shall have •:,Vfi • been determined by the high court of • Impeachment. $' In a letter to Mr."Glynn, who occu- ;-vV pled the temporary offices provided ^ - for him by the legislature following the refusal of Mr. Sulzer to abdicate |k on his Indictment by the assembly, 3,' : Mr. Piatt turned over to the acting . governor papers relating to pending ||£ • extradition proceedings and documents , concerning prteohers whose terms are IK y, about to* expire through commutation & sentence. • •||S.C' In his letter to Lieutenant Governor \jGlynn Mr. Sulzer explains that he ' V?:had taken such action because of re- . ."'.cent decisions of the supreme court .3.i'"'that the "executive functions should |>e performed by yourself as acting governor." The version furnished by Mr. Sul- - pcr'ts supporters is that in recognizing i " r*sbt of Mr. Glynn to exercise the i|iduties of governor pending the im- k . peachment trial he was actuated sole- ty by a desire to promote the business of the state government, which has been virtually at a standstill since Mr. Sulzer was indicted on August 15. ; Counsel for Sulzer lost the flrBt skirmish in a legal battle to prevent ^^'"the accused executive from coming |"> v *° trial. Their objections to permit- ^*4 .F11® *our senators to sit as members ^ court were overruled. ||f J William Sulzer, governor of New ft?1-' , York, charged by the assembly with tf:- .jglSp^hlgh crimes and misdemeanors, failed ;; ^ ' to appear in person before the high li'"J L i/ court °' impeachment when it cot- ' ^57^ vened Thursday to begin the trial ity - " which will determine his guilt or in- Ife ; ;nocence- Instead, his attorneys en- itered a "special appearance" In the E- 1 •"•'governor's behalf and challenged the 'organization of the court and its juris- [*?, - * diction over the accused. |;V.' * The assembly at night adopted a I'll • resolution offered by Majority Leader Levy calling for the arrest of James C.

Sept 24.--An "educational -fund" of $500,000 will be expended by the American Meat Packers' associa­ tion in an attempt to induce farmers to raise beef cattle and thus cut down the high cost of living and avert a threatened famine in beef. This was decided by the meat "pack­ ers. on Monday at their annual conven­ tion, on the motion of Gustav Blschoff. Sr., of the Independent Packing com­ pany, St Louis, president of tho or­ ganization. - In making his motion for the crea­ tion of an educational fund Mr. Bisch- off pointed out that the farmers are not raising beef cattle because they do not consider it profitable. . "What the farmer® of the country -need is education along the lines of bow to operate their farms," said Mr. BiBchoff. "They imagine that the only way they can make 'both ends meet' is to raise an abundance of grains and feed no beef cattle. "As a matter of fact, there is not a farmer in the land who could not raise a few beef cattle to good advan­ tage. What the farmers need is edu­ cation. With this in mind, I move that a fund of $100,000 a year be voted for a period of five years, to be ex­ pended among the farmers in a cam­ paign of education. 'Until the farmers raise cattle for beef, the price of meat cannot be lowered. As long as the sup­ ply is scant the price muBt of neces­ sity be high." ^ The motion to create the $500,000 educational fund was carried by unani­ mous vote, and President Blschoff will appoint a committee to devise ways and means for carrying on this work. Another packer who held the farmer responsible for the high coBt of meats was Charles F. Kamrath of Spokane, Wash. "If every farmer could be Induced to raise one or two beef steers, the high cost of meats would be almost solved," he said. M. A. Traylor, vice-president of the National Stock Yards National bank, East St. Louis, I1L, recommended that banks be empowered to loan money on future cattle shipments, the same as they now do on grain crops. James S. Agar, chairman of a spe­ cial committee appointed at the last session of the association to confer with government officials as to the cause of the high price of xheats, as­ serted that meats were sold at a high­ er figure because the government de­ mands frequent changing of labels. Fearsome forecasts of a possible famine pervaded the assembly. The more direct danger note was sounded on Sunday when James Craig, Jr., chairman of the association's execu­ tive committee, read the annual re­ port of that body to the- convention. He said the situation was critical. Alleged Madero 8layer Killed. Washington, Sept. 23.--Lieut. Fran­ cisco Cardenas, accused by the Mexi­ can constitutionalists of having killed Francisco I.

Amateur Fisherman Had Nar* fdw Escape From Death In Lake Pontchartrain. Now Orleans, La.--William Klein, an upholsterer, of No. 1514 feuterpe Street, an amateur angler, experienced a narrow escape from fieath just as he had finished preparations for a day's fcporl in fishing off the northeastern bridge over Lake Pontchartrain, about 500 fsst from North Shore. • The presence of mind of Johft Lan­ dry, a negro living at No. 119 North Liberty street, saved Mr. Klein from drowning. Landry cast a line and hooked Mr. Klein as ,tha latter was sinking. Mr. Klein, accompanied by bis son, arrived at North.Shore about 7 a. m. and began walking the "long bridge/' When about 500 feet from the shore the crowd gathered on a small plat­ form to permit an incoming local train to pass. Mr. Klein carried his gshing pole strapped across his shoul- 1 The Hook Caught, ders. This was hit by the tenllnHof the incoming train. The upholsterer was thrown In the lake on the Mandevllle side of the bVidge, landing in the water some­ what dazed. A swift tide running at the time carried Mr. Klein under the bridge land out into the lake. Ropes were thrown to him, but lie ^as helpless and was rapidly floating from the bridge. John Landry, the negro fisherman, th?ew his fishing line in the direction of Mr. Klein, fortunately striking him on the leg. The hodk caught and the almost lifeless body was brought up and held at the surface. Several men who witnessed the sen­ sational rescue climbed down posts and fastened a rope to the fisherman's b^dy. He was held there until a small fishing craft was brought to Mr. Klein's aide and later he was taken ashore. It was not until some time after his son and several, of the amateur rod- men worked on the prostrate form that the man was revived. Mr. Klein suffered pain as a result of the fish hook which caught In his leg when Landry threw the lucky line. The hook was deeply Imbedded in the fleshy part of the leg and had to be cut out BIS RATTLER CHARMS CHILD Utile Girl Wriggled and Squirmed Like Snake Until the Reptile Waa Killed. Poughkeepsle, N. Y.--Charmed by a big rattlesnake thMe feet long with nine rattles, Helen, the three-year-old daughter of Andrew Lahey of Amenla, near here, who was snatched from the reptile by her mother the other day, has caused much astonishment to the residents of that section by her strange actions. The little child wrig­ gled and squirmed about like a snake and it was not until the reptile was put to death by the father of the child that the little girl stopped squirming and returned to her normal condition. She was not bitten by the snake. For several days the mother of the little girl noticed that the youngster played around a stone door step in front of the house and disliked being taken away from the spot. Finally the mother noticed the baby playing in the same place and talking to some one. Creeping up behind the baby Mrs. Lahey was astonished to find that her little girl was bent over talk- in* to an object under the step. Se­ curing an iron bar Mrs. Lahey lifted up the stone to ascertain the attrac­ tion of the baby and much to her hor­ ror she discovered a huge rattler colled up under the step. Snatching the child and screaming for help Mrs. Lahey attracted the attention of her husband and he killed the snake. "Im­ mediately after the reptile was put to death the little girl recovered her nor­ mal condition.

HAPPY OLD AGE Moat Likely to Follow Proper Eating. ^ As old age advances we require less food to replace waste, and food that will not overtax the digestive organs* while supplying true nourishment. Such an ideal food is found in Grape- Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley by long baking and action of diastase in the barley which changes the starch into a most digestible sugar. The phosphates also, placed up un­ der the outer-coat of "the wheat, are included in Grape-Nuts, but are lack? ing in white flour because the outers- coat of the wheat darkens the flour - and is left out by the miller. These natural phosphates are necessary to •the well-balanced building of muscle, brain and nerve cells.
