Charged with the murder of Robert
Hosey, in the southern section of this
city one night last July, Peter Brown,

where red liquor was much in evi-
dence. At the time he was shot Hosey
was walking between two negro wom-
en-, both of whom were arrested and
held for several days as material wit
nesses. 1t was known shortly after
the killing that Brown was the mur
derer, but he was not located by the
officers until his wife notified the po
lice of Mobile that he was wanted
here, when, as she alleged, he threat
ened to kill her.

INCREASE IN RATES

Washington Oct, l5.-Eastern and

Tuesday began fixing tens of thou
sands of tariff rates with the Inter
state Commerce Commission propos-
ing a fiat increase of 5 per cent on
all rates except in some instances
those on coal and grain. The proposed
advantages Immediately will be sus-
pended. In some instances the roads
themselves have enclosed slips with
the tariffs voluntarily suspending the
increases until the commission shall
have had opportunity to pass upon
the reasonableness.
1t is impossible that decision will
be reached before spring.
The roads proposing the increase
number fifty-two, and the changes in
the rates mount up into the tens of
thousands. The tariffs, representing
an expenditure on the part of the roads
of about 100000, have been forwarded
to the commission The commission
has largely increased its force in the
tariff division to meet the situation.

LITTLE PROSPECT Of
EARLY VOTE ON
SULzER
TWO FEATURES APPARENT IN
TRIAL BELIEVED WILL PRE-
cLUDE ACTION SOON.
ASStMBLYMEN ARE IN NO HURRY
Election Is only a Little Way OFF and
Members Of Assembly Are Not Anx-
ious To Co On Record Just Before

(Bu ASsOciated PrcssA

Albany, Oct. 1.-Two features be-
came apparent in the sulzer. trial
which, is is believed, will preclude an
early vote on the guilt or innocence of
the Governor. A maze Of technicali-
ties have been injected into the case
which have puzzled the judges as we'll
as laymen. 1t is feared that assembly,
men would not hurry a vote because
the election is only a short way of
and many might not want to go on
record just preceding the vote,
The possibility of an indefinitely long
delay in reaching verdict as to the
guilt or innocence of Governor VIII
liam Sulzer loomed up at his impeach-
ment trial Tuesday. This was suggest
ed when counsel for the impeachment
managers asked that the court recon-
mend to the assembly the bringing of
a new article of impeachment in the
event the testimony of Duncan w.
Peck, superintendent of public works,
and Henry L. Morgenthau, ambassa-
dor to Turkey. should be found not to
be relevant to any charge contained
in the present articles.
Whether this testimony was rele-
want to article w., which charges the
/ Governor with suppression of evidence
before the Frawley investigating com,
: mittee, was the subject of debate in
p executive session and undecided when
: adjournment was taken until today.
: The executive session will be con-
: tinued today. and on the result of the
courts deliberations will depend the
, question as to whether it will proceed
, to vote now or await the action of the
9 assembly in the question of bringing
the suggested new article Of impeach-
ment
Should the latter course be adopted
the future progress of the trial will be
a matter of speculation. The question
g would at once arise whether the nee.
essary two-thirds majority OF the AS.
S sembly to vote the new article could
be obtained. This question. 1t was sug.
gested, would likely be affected by the
fact that many assemblymen who vot
ed for the present impeachment arti
cles would be candidates at the com
ing election and the probability that
politics might be injected into the AS
sembly's action to an acute degree.

LIBRARY GROWS
IN PUBLIC FAVOR
OPPORTUNITY TO READ GOOD
BOOKS is BEING TAKEN AD-
VANTAGE OF BY MANY.

The Philathea Public Library, with
rooms on the sixth floor of the Carter
building, is growing in public favor,
though the ladies having it in charge
believe that many who do not visit the
rooms fail to do so because they are
not aware of the advantages offered
by the library. 1t is, they thenk, per-
haps not generally known THAT It's
privileges are free and open to the
general public. Any one desiring to
read good book or magazine should
visit the rooms of this library where
comfortable chairs and ample light are
available to the reader.
One feature of the association work
is the encouragement offered young
women working in stores and offices
to take advantage of the "rest" room
during the noon hour. A record is
kept each day of the number of young
women who do this, and the report for
September shows the total of SO.
AS the association is very limited
in funds, 1t invites donations of books
or even the loan of works which may
be spared from libraries. Those lend
ing books will be given receipts and
permitted to retain ownership of such
books.
