SUI zER'S LINE OF
DEFENSE At TRIAL
Attorneys Make Known How
They'll Fight Charges.
LOSE IN FIRST CONTENTION
Letter Is Sent by Sulzer's Secretary to
Acting Governor Glynn Recog-
nizing Latter's Authority
to Act as Executive.
RY James j. Montauue.

Albany, N. Y.-Gov. William Sui
zer's first line of defense in the
impeachment charges against him
was utterly splintered by unanimous
vote of the high court of impeachment
to admit as members of the court Sen
ators Wagner, Frawley, Sanner and
Ramsperger, whom his counsel had
challenged. The vote followed an
opinion from Presiding Judge Cullen
that the challenged judges must sit.
SuIzers Line of Defense.
The subsequent lines of defense by
the governor are: First, the contention
that the high court is without jurisdic-
tion because the assembly had no
right to impeach The fight on this
was begun with two hour argument
by Louis Marshall for the governor.
Second, that the acts of the gov
ernor cited in the articles do not con-
stitute cause for impeachment. This
contention, which will be argued for
Sulzer by Austen G. Fox, is based Oh
the assertion that whatever NAL and
corruption conduct Sulzer may have
committed was committed before he
became governor.
Third, that the articles of lmpeach-
ment are defective in form. Every
article will be attacked separately in
the legal skirmish over this allegation.
Fourth, a straight out and out fight
on the facts as charged in the indict-
ment, with scores of witnesses and
masses of evidence on both sides.
Will Fight to the End.
1t is certain that the governor and
his lawyers intend now to fight to the
end But their greatest hope is clear
ly based on their belief in their ability
by raising technical objections to have
the bill of impeachment dismissed and
to save the governor from the humilia-
tion of an actual trial.
While the laundering guns of ora
tory told everyone within block of
the Capitol that the battle for the gov
ernor's political life had begun, sew
eral other things with a marked bear
ing on the situation were happening.
First, James C. Garrison, Mr.. Sui
zers staunchest supporter, arrested
for contempt of the legislature, was
taken from easeful quarters and put in
solitary confinement in cell in the
Albany court penitentiary. This was
done at the instance of assembly lead
ers, who heard that Garrison was liv-
ing much as Banker Robin lived in the
Tombs.
The second event of moment was a
letter to Acting Governor Glynn from
Suffers secretary which recognized
Glynn's authority to act as governor
and submitted extradition matters for
the acting governors signature. This
is the first time that Sulzer by word
or intimation has intimated lack of
belief in his power to act as governor
of the state.

THREE KILLED IN
HEAD-ON CRASH
Sixty Others Hurt as Pas
senger Trains Collide.
CORONER BLAMES COMPANY
Says, After investigation Of Accident,
That Single Spur Track Was
Not Equipped With
Signal System.

New York City.-Blame for the
head.on collision Monday between
two passenger trains on the Long
Island railroad at College Point, l.. l.,
which resulted in the death of three
persons and the injury of 80 others,
has been placed squarely up to the
company by Coroner Amber of
Queens.
Holds Company Responsible.
"The wreck occurred on a single
track spur" he said after an investi-
cation. 1.-THE spur was not equipped
with signal system. | believe the
company is criminally responsible"
Walter Maize, tower man at White
stone Junction, was arrested soon
after the wreck and sent to Jail with
out the privilege of bail on a charge
of homicide. Testifying before the
coroner Maize admitted he had al
lowed one of the trains to enter the
single track zone because he sup
posed everything was all right"
Steel Cars Save Many Lives.
Railroad experts are practically
unanimous in their belief that the
fact that both trains were made up en-
tirely of steel cars prevented great
loss of life The two trains were run
ming at terrific speed, but despite this
only the vestibules of the motor cars
were wrecked Those who lost their
lives were standing in the vestibules
of the motor cars.
The dead are:
Charles Hoehlein, motorman.
Fred Loeder, motorman.
George Berkle, conductor of the
Whitestone train.

After a Plea-an. Evening.

Mr.. Sydney Buxton told an anus
ing story for the purpose of illustrat-

certain convivial soul, who had been
invited to dine with friend, whose
house was at the end of dark and
muddy lane, was advised to bring
big lantern. After very jovial eve
ming the convivial one left and strug.
gled home through the mud, firmly
gripping his heavy burden by the
handle. Next morning he received
this message from his host: Here

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most, Likely to Follow Proper Eating

AS old age advances we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true pourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
into a most digestible sugar
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the outer-coat of the wheat, a@
included in Grape-Nuts, but are lack
ing in white flour because the outer
coat of the wheat darkens the flour
and is left out by the miller, These
natural phosphates are necessary to
the well-balanced building of muscle.

Standstill During Time Procession

Reaches Cemetery.

New York City.-The people of the

persons stood in line in Broadway for
hours in drizzling rain waiting an
opportunity to pass through the
fower-banked rotunda of the city hall,
where the body of the late mayor lay
in state.
The line at times was fully half
mile in length. All classes were rep
resented in the line. A list of the
public officials who joined the process
sion would include every member of
the mayors official family and nearly
all the members of the local judi
ciary.
One of the touching features of the
silent procession was the number of
little children who carried floral offer
ings to place upon the fiag-draped bier.
The city hall was kept open until
o'clock Monday morning for the ac-
commodation of all those who wished
to take their last look at the face of
the mayor.
At 10:30 a. m. the body was removed
to Trinity church, whre the funeral
services were held. At noon the fu-
neral procession started for Green
wood cemetery.
From the time the procession start
ed from the city hall till the hour of
the interment Il Greenwood business
in the city was practically at stand
still.

THERE WAS WAR
Mexicans and Negroes Terror
ize Section of East Side.
Bullets Flew, but 1t Was Blood
less Battle.

War between Mexicans and negroes
| terrorized a large portion of eastern
, Topeka this morning. Revolvers and
| shot guns were used and twice this
morning there was a fuslilade of shots.
No one was hurt. 1t is said that the
trouble started because Mexican ac-
cused a neighbor, a negro, of stealing
| a pair of trousers. The negro objected
to the accusation and brought a big re-
volver into play. He fired a shot at the
Mexican and the bullet went through
his hat. At the first shot every Mexi-
can in the vicinity hurried to a little
house where they defied the negro.
The colored man, said to be Al
Hickey, collected several of his black
friends and laid siege to the house of
the Mexican. Several shots were fired
by both parties, although no one was
injured, according to a statement made
by one of the Mexicans. The trouble
occurred at First and Adams street in
a cluster Of small "shacks' belonging
to negroes and Mexicans. At the sound
of the first shot the women and chill
dren ran into their houses and it was
some hours later that they could be in
duced to leave their shelter. The black
men stationed themselves in the alley
and behind buildings and peppered the
side of the besieged house whenever a
Mexican showed his head out of a win
dow or door.
The police were notified Immediately
and Officers Morgan, Hill and Cook
went there. The negroes saw them
coming and made good their escape.
When the police arrived everything
was quiet except a half dozen Mexi-
cans who were in the little house. Aft
er investigation the officers returned to
their beats.
Shortly afterward a call was sent to
the station that there was more trouble
in that vicinity. A negro came up the
alley after the police left and he carried
a large repeating shotgun. The wo-
men and children had just started to
quiet down when the negro fired upon
the house of the frightened Mexicans.
The bullet hit the side of the wall not
far from a mans head. The lone negro
kept peppering the small fort of Mex
leo and the crowd that had gathered at
the arrival of the officers quickly dis
appeared.
Police Officer Cook was the first Of
fetal on the scene after the second
bloodless battle. The negro had again
heard of the approach of the police by
some unknown manner and ran down
an alley. Cook found the small court
yard deserted when he arrived and the
lone combatant, was not to be seen.
Soon after this Sergeant Sauls and Of
ficer Hill arrived in the police auto and
made careful search for the Offend
ers. 1t took some time to get the
frightened -colored women to crawl, out
of corners and tell them what had hap
pened. The Mexicans stuck to their
first statement that the negro had
started the fray because he had been
accused of stealing trousers No ar
rests We're made; ;'t

of Goods Worth 500.

The tailor shop belonging to William
Klinge & Son, 10 West Fifth street,
was broken into last night by burglars
and goods to the value of S100 were
stolen. The burglar entered by the
back door, smashing some glass to

were stolen, no full suits being TAX

experienced hands because the glass
was cut. Mr.. Klinge said this morn

that there is a gang of thieves in To-

en-. At other houses articles of value
were taken including one diamond

MUST Be VACCINATED
Hogs Imported Will Be Held in Quar-
antine 21 Days.

A vaccination order on all hogs
shipped into or through Kansas was
issued today by Sam S. Graybill, state
live stock inspector. The new rule
provides that a hog must be vac
cinated and held under quarantine 21
days before being allowed to be taken
in transportation. Following the in
lection of the serum the cars and
yards must be cleaned.
1t is the opinion of the state live
stock inspector that very little hog
cholera is to be found in Kansas this
year. In series of 10000 doses of
serum the fatalities have been a little
less than 2 per cent.
The vaccination order, although not
as stringent as the famous anti
cholera movement in Iowa, where 80
days is required for quarantine, will
be a great benefit and protection to
