ture May Start Impeachment

May Be Done
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DEAD
Senate Today Killed That Measure
Mine Inspection and Calumet
Treasurer Bills are Passed -
by the Senate. II

Lansing. Mich, April 1S.-Governor
Osborn has no power TO remove either
Warden Russell or the board of control
at this time, but since they have
adopted the minority report against
the Marquette prison officials the
members of the house (and other enc
mics of the warden)' are doing their
best to put it in the minds of the peo-
pie that, since the house has gone so
far. the whole proposition is now up
to the governor. Making the situation
still more peculiar the house of rep
resentatives. which now is trying to
shift responsibility for the prison
charges, is the branch Of the state
government, and the only branch. that
has power to institute removal pro-
ceedings at this time.
The law requires that. while the
legislature is I'm session, the only move
the governor can make toward the re-
moval of an official is to prefer
charges to the house of representa-
tives. The house. by a majority vote.
can impeach any state official. even
to the governor himself. 'Tmpeach-
ment" is synonymous with 'indict-
ment" by a grand jury. After the
official is impeached his trial occurs
before the senate. sitting as Judge OF
the evidence. The house appoints
three prosecutors to conduct the case
and the accused official is permitted
counsel and to subpoena witnesses.

YEARS AND HALF INSTEAD OF
TWO YEARS. DELAY
SENDING MORE.

Washington, d c., April 1s.-The
departure of all troops now under or
ders for duty i'm the Philippines will be
delayed six months. This is generally
attributed to the serious situation in
Mexico, the president being unwilling
to disturb the forces on duty in the

At the war department it is ex-
planned the postponement is due to a

instead Of two. as at present. This
proposition has long been under con-
sideration and the acute Mexican sit
uation seems to have presented the op-

"The Rosary

Can one evil Minis olson whole
household? Is the human brain ca
pable OF producing disastrous effects
upon household by adverse sugges-
tive thoughts?
Do we realize adequately how our
mental attitudes influence our lives
and the lives Of those about us?
All these questions are asked in
"The Rosary" new play by Edward
E. Rose, and produced by Messrs,
Rowland & Clifford.
And the answer? Well, the play
is the answer.
For one-half it's course 1t builds up
a condition Of affairs in a typical
American family of today. The inner
life of each member is shown, and
there is the subtle feeling that all
is not right, that one mind is not In
full accord with the peace and happi-
ness of that household
There are no words spoken directly
that tells this, but it is in the air.
Nor can anyone point to the one who
is working against the general har-
mony.
Then suddenly the crash comes and
the house is in chaos The husband
doubts his wife, drives her out and
faces absolute ruin Then comes the
power of the mind that seeks only
truth and goodness; the mind that has
harbored only good thoughts. 1t is
that of Father Kelly, the priest who
solves the mystery and brings each
member of the little family circle
back to peace and happiness. AT the
