GLYNN RECOGNIZED
AS THE GOVERNOR
sta'e Board Assigns Him Rooms In
the capitol--Eie Outlines His
Policy.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. Martin
H. Glynn was officially recognized as
acting governor OF New York state
by the board Of trustees Of public
buildings late yesterday when new
rooms in the capitol were designated
as the executive chamber" for his
use. The assembly parlor and a
committee room were set aside as
the acting governors quarters
They are situated on the third floor.
while the executive Offices, to which
Governor Sulzer still cliDgs, are on
the floor below
AS his first act after moving into
the new Offices Mr. Glynn issued a
statement outlining his policy. In part
the statement says;
Il do not intend to employ tenn
porary occupancy Of the goyernorship
for the purpose Of partisan warfare.
Under me, as acting governor,
there will be no political earthquakes
and no factional reprisals
I have no intention of removing de-
partmental heads for mere political
reasons.
"a propose to discharge my sworn
obligations for the best interests of
the public.
Il ask the hearty cooperation Of all
State officials and all good citizens to
help bring order out of chaos in the
State vernment until the court Of
impeachment shall have rendered a
verdict.
mo act of mine will compound the
present confusion. Official chaos must
end and the affairs of the State pro
coed as IL no impeachment proceed

of impeachment renders it's decision

may be necessary for the smooth run

tween the rival governors may follow.
Mr.. Glynn's action. He announced
that he win call upon the executive
clerical staff which so far has remain
ed loyal to Governor Sulzer for any
service which may be needed. As ar
attempt at dismissal will follow the
refusal of any employe to obey either
claimant of the governorship, it is
predicted that a conflict which offers
possibilities of bringing the s'nation
to head may be precpltated at any
time.

Maria Mayer of Stettln Wore Cos
tune That Almost Caused
Panic At the Dock.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 21.-As she
stood for moment silhouetted
against bright midday sun wearing
an 'Xray" gown. the appearance of
Miss Maria Mayer of Stettip, Ger
many caused a near panic among the
passengers. immigration officials and
Interpreters who met the steamship
Cassel which arrived here from Bre-
men.
Then came the run down the gang
plank. She seemed not to care for
the bullying eyes nor to realize that
her himsy costume was in any way
unusual until it came her turn to pass
the immigration officials.
The inspectors took one look and
Miss Mayer was ordered to be detain-
ed. The reasons were not given out.
But Inspector Hughes of the Glouces'
ter Detention Station would not af
firm or deny the statement that 1t
was because she was not properly
clothed.
Hers was no ordinary every day y
ray costume seen every warm day on
Chestnut street. 1t was more, or
rather less, than that. 1t was the real
thing in transparent flimsiness and 1t
might have been made Of mosquito
netting.
Just why she selected this gown
for her first appearance in America
she would not say. Other passen-
gers on the ship vouchsafed the in
formation that Miss Mayer possessed
an extensive wardrobe. She made
the long voyage unaccompanied and
told the inspectors she was on her
way to visit a married sister in PITTS
burg. whose name she would not d.
vuige. She will have hearing be
fore a special board of inquiry.

MADISON, Wis. Aug 21.-It begins
to look as if unmarried men, as well
as those who have acquired wives
and discretion, will soon have to ad-
nit that man is the superior crea-
ture Science has become a suffra
gette, and her word is final.
DR.. Paul 5. Hunter formerly of the
Wisconsin State board Of health, is
authority for the assertion that man
does not know what he is talking
about when he assumes priority in
the scheme Of creation. Not only did
Eve appear on earth before Adam.
says DR.. Hunter but for centuries
and centuries women did not know
there was such a thing as man. And
there was not, if Dr. Hunter is right
Eve came ages and ages before
ADAM SAID DR. Hunter. Hers was
the only sex for ages. Biology proves
this Adam, in fact, was creature
of Eve, although man viii not admit
that.
Ewes sex at first ruled the uni
verse. Then man came and finally
developed the stronger body and the
brute force which enabled him to
take control Consequently it was
easy for him TO begin bossing and
taking credit for what he had not
done including the creation of wom-
en-. In this science disputes him"
Dr. Harvey w. Wiley recently said
me could not accept the story Of Ewes
creation from one Of Adams ribs. Dr.
Hunter goes him one better and thus
the prospect of the endless leap year
becomes more imminent.
