HookER REMAINS ON BENCH.
End u Impeachment TrfaI Of New
York Jurist.

Albany, N. Y, July 21.-The assem-
bly,, by a vote of rs to 81, saved JUS
tice Warren B. Hooker from removal
from the supreme court bench on the
charges concerning his connection
with appointments in the Fredonia
postoffice and with the ''Wirtner judg-
ment," affecting property of the city
of Dunkirk, adjoining the Dunkirk
postoftice building, owned jointly by
him and State Tax Commissioner Les
ter +. Stearns. Forty-one Republicans
and thirty-fve Democrats voted for re-
mova4; ffty-eight Republicans and
nine Democrats against removal.
The final vote was taken on a formal
resolution providing for Justice Hook
ers removal. Under the constitution
it would have required 100 votes to
pass the resolution. The action of the
assembly on the removal resolution
obviated the necessity of a vote in the
senate.

GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK RECON-.
MENDS LEGISLATIVE INSUR.
ANCE INQUIRY.
PRESENT LAWS ARE INADEQUATE
DECLARES EXISTING EVILS AND
ABUSES ARE A DlSCREDIT
TO THE STATE.

Albany, N. Y, July Ex-Governor
Higgins during the afternoon sent to
the legislature a message recommend
ing for It's consideration the appoint
ment of a Joint commission to investi-
gate the business of life insurance as
carried on in this state.
In calling the attention of the leg1s-
lature to the insurance matter the
governor says:
THE unfortunate scandals recently
made public by the internal dissen-
sions in the Equitable Life Assurance
society and by the comprehensive in
vestigation of it's affairs by the super
intendent of insurance have caused
feeling Of intense alarm in the breasts
of the thousands of our citizens who
have invested their money in policies
of life insurance and of the thousands
of non-residents who have been taught
to respect the New York companies as
safe and secure. While the business
of life insurance as at present con-
Quoted is subject to state supervision
and regulation for the purpose OF
guaranteeing solvency and the fulfill
ment of contracts On the part of the
companies it is evident that evils and
T,buses may exist under our law, that
earnings which should go credited TO
the poIicyholders may be diverted to
other purposes, that expenses OF oper-
alton may be eXtravagant and waste
full, that unwise investments may be
legally made and that trustees may
deal indirectly with the trust funds
for their personal advantage. That
such a condition Of affairs can exist
reflects discredit on the state"
In the senate Senator Armstrong
Immediately introduced a concurrent,
resolution providing for the appoint
ment OF a special joint committee OF
three senator's and five assemblymen
to undertake the investigation.
Later both houses adopted the Arm
strong insurance investigation resolu-
ton. It appropriates $4,000 for the
of the investigation.

The Evolution of Thanksgiving.

To the Editor of The Star:
The great American holiday dedicated to
Thanksgiving has undergone a wonderful
change since. in 1921. Gov. Bradford sent
out four fowlers in search OF game that
the little colony might after more spe-
cial manner rejoice together" The Puri-
tans devoted much more time to deploring
their miseries than they did to rejoicing
over their blessings. Traditions lead up to
the conclusion that the origin of an annual
thanksgiving day was due to hard-head-
ed pioneer-whose name. unfortunately, has
not been preserved-whO bluntly informed
his compeers, in their assembly, that he
had a strong idea that God was weary OF
their complaints. in view of the fact that
He was causing the earth to reward their
labors; that He had filed the seas and
streams with fish, had made the air sweet
and the climate healthful, and that the col
onies were in the full enjoyment of religious
and civil liberty. 1t was, therefore at the
farmers suggestion, unanimously agreed
that thereafter day of thanksgiving should
be annually proclaimed. Whether this was
the origin or not, II Is an evidentiaI fact
that by the year 1880 the custom had be-
come fixed. for the governors of Plymouth
and Massachusetts, Bay appointed day of
thanksgiving late In the autumn of every
year. and the other New England colonies
adopted the plan
The custom was of slow growth outside

AS AN OFFICIAL CRITIC
THE PRESIDENT WILL VIEW SAT
URDAY's GAME.
Future of Foot Ball in the Government
Academies Will Be on Trial
Secretary Taft's Party.

More than ordinary Importance attaches
to the foot bail game between the Military
and Naval Academy teams at Princeton
next Saturday, for the reason that 1t may
determine the question whether such con-
tests shall be continued between the gov
eminent military schools. 1t Is known that
while the President takes deep personal
interest in all forms of athletics, espec al
ly foot bail. he is strongly opposed to the
Introduction OF brutality or rowdyism into
the games. II Is therefore expected that
he Will watch the performances of the
players in Saturdays game as an Official
critic rather than as a simple spectator. IL
the battle on the gridiron should be attend
ed by any serious casualty or there should
be unfair or brutal tactics. 1t Is mo1e than
probable that he would direct a disconttn-
uance of the annual foot ball games be-
tween the two academic.
Secretary Taft of the War Department
and Assistant Secretary Newberry of the
Navy Department, who will be present at
Saturdays game, will also be in u pos
ton to assist the President in passing judS-
ment for or against foot ball as a suitable
pastime for the students at the military
and naval academies. The games between
the academic teams have always been fair
and clean. and there is no reason to expect
anything different in Siturdly's contest
Secretary Taft has invited thitty-sevea
LadleS ana gentlemen 10 accompany MIN ~
the game at Princeton. They will leave
here in a special train over the Pennsyi-
vania road at 8 O'Clock Saturday morning
