Frank A. Abbott ef Buffalo.

80 Nb08st " y atV
ALBANY. July 27.-Gov. Hughes with his
son left for a two weeks Adirondack rest
near Saranao Inn. Late this afternoon
charges were fled with the Governor asking
for the removsl from Office Of District At
torney Frank A. Abbott of Erie county
OF the ground that he had failed to prose-
cute the men responsible for the failure Of
the German Bank Of Buffalo during the
Kilburn administration of the State Bank
ing Department. In last falls campaign
Gov. Hughes promised Buffalo audiences
that he would reorRanize the State Banking
Department. but the Governors campaign
pledge remains unfulhiied. although he
purposes giving this subject special atten-
ton on his return from his vacation. As
a matter OF fact Gov. Hughes has been
too busy to take up this question before.
Former Superintendent Of Banks Fred
erick ID. Kilburn resigned when Gov. Hughes
assumed Office and the Governor. on the
recommendation of President Roosevelt,
appointed Charles HailaIn Keep Of Buffalo
TO succeed Mr.. Kilburn. Mr.. Keeps ad-
ministration Of the banking department
was disappointing to Gov Hughes and he
was appointed a member Of the upstate
utilities commission.
Now Gov. Hughes proposes to appoint
a man OF his wi selection as State Super
intendent OF Banks and the Governor will
take up the question Of ,reorganizing the
State Banking Department on his return
from his vacation. High officials in the
State Banking Department have for some
years bean spending most Of their time
dealing In Wall Street and Gov. Hughes
thinks that such practices are not condu-
Give to an impartial and safe administration
Of the State Banking Department in view
Of the loan, department connections be-
tween tho banks and Wall Street.
The charges fled with the Governor
to-day against District Attorney Abbott
are signed by a number Of citizens Of Buff
falo. headed by Alfred b. Farthing n

RIGHT USES or ALCOHOL.
SIR James CrichtOn-BrOwne's Investigation
Of Drinking by Men OF Science.
Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN

~
Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON. July 27.-The battle goes on
over the question Of the value OF alcohol.
Sir James Crichton- Browne raised il on
Thursday night at the annual dinner of
the Medical Psychological Association. He
o the company present as an object
lesson in support Of his views as a friend
OF alcohol.
With the friendly assistance Of the man.
ager Of the dining room where the dinner
was held Sir James made a careful record
OF what they individually and collectively
drank. Then when he proposed a toast
to science he sprung the result Of his OBJ
servation with the following remarks:
I'VE ave at this table many OF the highest
authorities in the country on the alcohol
question. The medical superintendents Of
lunatic .Rsylums, who see much Of the evils
OF alcohol. are strenuous advocates Of
Temperance and have supplied teetotalers
with some Of their strongest arguments.
l thought therefore that it would be in
teresting to ascertain how far they rave
adopted the extreme views on the alcohol
question which are now being promul-
gated.
There are now at this table e~ighty-four
members of the association. OF them Q
per cent. nave declined alcohol. although
all tho rest, % per cent. have partaken
Of alcohol in some form and a large
majority in several different forms. I
dined a fortnight ago at Sir Andrew Mobiles
table with eighteen Of the leading men
OF science of the day. from the venerable
Lord Kelvin down, and not one Of them
declined alcohol
These are facts" added Sir James,
and in view Of such facts il would he q
farce or obseseion or gross hyperbole to
speak Of alcohol as a deadly poison. Those
who declared alcohol to be a deadly poison
should also state that we constantly carry
about in u bodies more deadly poisons
or toxins, but these human poisons are
harmless and may be beneficial 40 long as
they are kept in their right places. and
our great aim should be to keep alcohol
in it's right place"

BAD WHEAT CROP REPORTS.
Estimates Put Northwest's Yield Fsr Below
Last Years.

ST. PAUL. July 27.-The wheat crop Of
the crop is saved il will be a surprise. The
season is three weeks late and where the
grain is thin it ia not worth cutting. Where
it is heavy it is overgrown with weeds.
The wheat Of Minnesota and the Dakotas
is short at this date 50 per cent. in acreage
and yield and il likely to show a shortage
Of rs per cent. In production from lastSyear.
Other grains will show good returns-
Western Canadian crops indicate a yield
Of eight bushels per acre should frost hold
of till September 20. which it has never
done.
Clark Dalerymple Of the Dalerymple
Farms. North Dakota, who Is here to-day,
says that North Dakota will not raise over
10000 600 bushels this year, against no. 900. 600
bushels in 1909.
Mr.. D~alerymple says neither Minnesota
nor South Dakota will get the crop generally
expected. He puts Minnesota at 90 per
cent. Of last year and South Dakota at rs
per cent. This would mean only 10000. 900
bushels for Minnesota and IS. OOO, 900 for
South Dakota and a total for he three
States Of 1875 900. 600 bushels, against 49,
OoO. 900 last year.
F.G. Barrows returned from a trip through
Manitoba and Assiniboia to-day. He re-
ports the Canadian crop spotted, some
portions being good and others poor. but
all very late. 1t seems to he the general
opinion there that harvest can hardly begin
there before September I. II the frost
keeps of until that time there will be some
very fair yields Of grain.

EACH JAPANESE GAVE UP ses.
Consul At Vancouver Collected IT at the
Dock Canadians Had II stopped.

OTTAWA, Ont. July 27.-An unusual scene
occurred at Vancouver yesterday afternoon
during the landing n i,3O Japanese from
the tramp steamer Kumeric. Japanese
Consul General NJ. Morikawa of Vancouver,
who superintendent the d~ebarkation, re-
quired each Japanese to drop his passport
and SIS in a bag as he passed down the
gangway.
The Vancouver Trades and Labor Council
telephoned to Mr.. MACPHERSON, NJ. p, who
went to the dock and protested against
the proceeding as an infringement Of
British Justice and liberty. Mayor Bethune
supported the protest and as a result
| Consul Morikawa had to stop collecting
and was told to return the money already
collected.
The impression is gaining ground at
Vancouver that there ia something about
the collection of the money which requires
EXPLANATION. The captain of the Kumeric
had in his possession a sum of money total
ling exactly s25 per head, which he dis
tributed TO the men before they came
ashore. Consul Morikawa explains the
collection of the SIS by saying he was afraid
that1f the money was left to them the new
Corners would be cheated out of il. II was
placed with him in trust. he says. until
they can get employment. IL il said that
1900 more Japanese are to come under
the same condition, with more to follow.
In Ottawa also the situation il interest
ing, because rumor says several thousand
more Japanese are coming to Canada.
British Columbia interests are bitterly OPP
posed to this. The Dominion Government
has neither the legal right nor the desire
TO stop the immigration.
Japanese Consul-Genera Nosse here.
who is the most important Japanese repre-
sentative in Canada. has had nothing off,
cial on this question either ron the Domin-
ion Government or ron Japan.

~ NVNrturs hs
One person was killed and six were over
come last evening in a cottage on Alexander
avenue, Arverne, l.. l., by gases caused by
q fumigation process that was being used
In n Of the rooms.
Tn cottage was rented for the season
by jacob F1eischman to Robert j. Gsrstle.
q contractor. Of Manhattan. and was oc-
cupied by Mr.. Gerstle and his wife. Bertha.
their son Ralph M Miss Louise Doyle,
Miss Lander and Miss Harriet Weaver.
Kate Soyrka was employed as cook, and
II. Grandelo was the butler. IL was Miss
Soyrka who was killed.
Yesterday afternoon James J. Hogg
cane from New York and f~umigated two
OF the rooms in the cottage. One Of these
was the bathroom and the other a bed
room in which il is said n person died
recently. According to the police the sub
stance used for fumigating was sulphur.
Last evening Miss Soyrka went up to the
bathroom. When she opened the door
she was Immediately overcome by the
fumes that poured out of the room. She
wa heard to give a faint scream al she fell
and the other members OF the household
went to her aid.
Miss Doyle. Miss Lander and Miss Weaver
were the first to reach the servant and all
were overcome. Robert Gerstle and his
father and mother, fearing that something
was wrong when the girls did not come
downstairs again, went up h investigate.
The last to go to the rescue was the butler.
who found the others unconscious on the
floor.
Grandelo was somewhat stupefied, but
he got downstairs and when he reached the
outer door he revived. He told Policeman
Adrinbe what had happened and a call was
sent to st. Joseph's Hospital at Far Rocka-
way. Drs. Cook and Hill responded.
When they went upstairs in the cottage
they saw that Miss Soyrka was dead. II Is
believed that the woman. who was 20 years
old. must have expired almost Immediately
after her cry was heard.
Miss Weaver and Miss G.. Doyle were
taken to the hospital. where they were soon
revived, and it is said that all are out Of
danger.
IL is said TO have been understood by the
members Of the family that the rooms
which were being fumigated were not to be
entered for at least twenty-four hours
and that then caution was to be used when
the doors we're opened. The cook, now
ever, appears not to have understood.

Police Polite But Not Helpful.
Miss Cholmeley-Jones, a, niece Of Richard
Watson Glider, chaperOned by her aunt,
Jeanette l.. Glider, was a passenger by
the American liner st. Paul, in last evening
from Southampton and C~herbourg. The
young woman is grieving over the loss Of
thirty pieces of iewelry. including a coral
necklace presented to her by Clara Louise
Kellogg. She left her trunk containing
the jewelry in a railroad station at Milan
with orders that It should be forwarded to
her at Venice. She found the cases that
had contained the jewelry arranged just
as she had left them, but there was nothing
in the cases. The thief apparently had
plenty Of time to rsnsack the trunka and put
everything back in order so that a super
fetal glance Of the owner would not arouse
suspicion.
The police Of Venice were notified and
they behaved with excessive p~olitcness,
taking the pedigree of Miss Cholmeley-
Jones's family on both sides, but accom-
plishing nothing. The police OF Milan
were also very nice. The American Vice
Consul at Milan said the quest would be
fruitless, as robberies of the same kind
occurred frequently and nothing ever came
back to the person who was robbed. The
money value OF the missing jewelry was
about 5000.

The eyes OF all downtown New York
smarted last evening because there wal a
fire In h tobacco warehouse of the II. A.

Smoke from burning snuff poured out Of
the building and dsrkened the sky. The
light westerly breeze gave Park row the
full benefit Of il and many a tear was shed
over copy that was not worth a tear.
The FIRE was in an old fashioned four
story brick building. The three upper
floors were occupied by the tobacco COM
pany In them were large quantities Of
tobacco and snuf n a preparation OF
tobacco dust made for killing vermin.
The f1remen followed the usual plan OF
breaking into he building. The crew Of
Engine o in Liberty street. the first to get
in. came out again weeping. Deputy
Chief Guerin decided that he would keep
his men outside.
He sent them up the fire escapes but the
smoke was so fierce that they worked in
relays. relieved at two or three minute
intervals. After the fire had been going
for some time a second alarm was bounded
on the theory that at any moment moro
men might ne needed.
The old Glen Island Hotel at the corner
OF West and Cortlandt streets abuts on the
tobacco warehouse. The fire broke through
on the third floor and did a little damage TO
the hotel. Everybody was ordered out.
A hose burst at the corner Of Cortlandt
street and drenched about fifty persons.
but didn't drive them away.
Ambulances from the Hudson street and

after it had been smoking for an hour.
