"A Pleasure


Imagine, if you please, your own discom-
tort IN trying to work in an i'll fitting pair
OF shoes. Your children exert themselves
very strenuously, especially at school, AS a
rule boys and girls don't growl about foot
trouble. Their fancy begins and ends with
exterior appearance of shoes. Therein lies
the danger A shoe salesman bent on SELL
ing, regardless, might do permanent in
jury to child's feet.

FIND Hulk LOST l25 YEARS
Wreckage Believed to Be That of
French Exploring Vessel.

Paris, Sept. 26.-Wreckage which is
supposed to be the remains of the
Boussole, the vessel of the French ex.
plorer Laperouse, which sailed on a
voyage of discovery in the Pacific in
1888 and never returned, has been
found buried with sand on the island
OF Vanikoro In the Pacific.
Admiral d'Entrecasteaux headed an

Sulzer Attorneys Lose An
other Point in Dispute.
Attempt TO Bar Evidence Of Con-
tributions Not Mentioned in the Ar.
tlcies of impeachment, but Are
turned Down When Court Passes
on Point

Albany, n. Y. Sept 26.-The cour.
of impeachment for the trial OF Gov
ernor Sulzer unanimously voted in
favor of admitting all testimony in
reference TO alleged campaign con
tributions received by the governor
whether specified in the articIs of i'm.
peachment or not.
The point arose on the testimony
OF Morris TekuIsky, a New York
liquor dealer and former president
OF the New York City Liquor Dealers
association. He had known William
SulZer for twenty-three years. he said.
and considered himself an intimate &C.
quaintance.
When he started to tell about the
organization contributions to SuIzer
Attorney Marshall objected, support.
ing his objection by a lengthy argu.
ment. He maintained that there was
nothing in the articles of impeach-
ment regarding this witness. The
purpose of the articles of impeach-
ment, he contended, was to give
notice to respondent OF the nature
OF the accusations against him and
to afford him time to prepare to
answer.
I'VE are now in the position" Mr..
Marshall continued, more than thir
ty days after the filing of the articles.
of being confronted with a charge
which We have not been notified TO de-
fend- This is merely an attempt to
Tecast the articles of impeachment
at the very moment of trial"
The Prosecutions Side.
Mr.. Stanchfield, in reply. declared
that the managers "have secured and
are prepared to prove that SuIzer re-
ceived a large number of contribu-
tions. vastly in excess of those which
appear on the face of the charges.
The managers charge that William
Sulzer filed a false statement of cam
paign expenditures Intentionally. He
studiously concealed contributions
from all sources where he thought
their public acknowledgment might in
jure his political future. The amounts
were deliberately omitted by design
and intent. Therefore we claim that
Ii Is proper that We should show all
Instances wherein he acted in a man
ner that renders him unfit to occupy
the high place he now fills
"One of the governors defenses is
that the omissions were the result
of mistake. We charge that he de-
hberately set out to falsify his state
ment and that he accomplished his
purpose"
