MAY TAKE YEARS.
Possibility of Long Delay if Case Goes
 to Supreme Court.

Washington. Sept. F. - Weeks. months, or possibly years. might roll by before the supreme court would act finally should Harry K Thaw ap- peal from the habeas corpus proceed ings now pending in New Hampshire. Of late, however, the court has dis posed of such important cases quick ly.
 Whether an appeal to the supreme court from the action of Judge Aldrich federal district judge in New Hamp- shire, before whom the ha'beas corpus proceedings were brought. may be granted, will rest entirely, 1t is said, with Judge Aldrich himself.
 few years ago an appeal from the denial of the writ of ha:beas corpus was grantaIble as a matter of right Practices grew up, however, which courts regarded as travesties on jus tice and the law was changed to give the judge passing on the case the power to say whether there was suf- ficient doubt as to the points raised to justify an appeal.
 An immediate appeal could not be acted upon by the supreme court be- fore October 13 at the very earliest because the court will not convene, under law. before that date. There are now more than seven hundred cases awaiting disposition there and 1t will take the court more than two years to pass upon them.

Tokio. Sept. 17.-China's acceptance of Japan's demands in connection with the killing of several Japanese at Nan king is confined thus far to minor points No answer has been received to the demand for an apology for in- suits directed against the Japanese flag and uniform or to the demand for the dismissal oE General Chang Hsun from the governorship of Kiang -Su province.
 Before presenting the demands the Japanese foreign office sounded Great Britain regarding her attitude in the event of military action being taken. and learned that Great Britain would view it with apprehension. as such &C., tion would be likely to encourage the partition of China among the powers.

IMPEACHMENT COURT
 WILL CONVENE TODAY.
Friends of Sulzer Confident of a Fa- Vorabe Verdict.

Albany, N. Y, Sept 1.-The stage is set for the opening tomorrow noon of the trial of the impeachment of Will liam 'Sulzer, governor of the state Of New York. Everything is in readiness flor the fall of the gaVel which will as semble the first high court of impeach- ment ever convened in this state to pass upon charges filed against her chief executive,
 Governor Sulzer had one of his final conferences with his counsel tonight. The assembly board of managers. the members of which act as prosecutors in the trial. and their legal assistants discussed the method of procedure on the morrow. Members of the court of appeals and the senators who jointly compose the high court mapped out their plan of action. Meanwhile official Albany, and in fact the entire state, waited in anxious expectancy.
 Friends of the impeached executive renewed their assertions that he was in good spirits, confident of a verdict which would clear his name of the stigma cast upon him by the adoption of the articles of impeachment by the state assembly, They were no less certain that he had no thought of re- signing and thus escape the ordeal of what promises to be a lengthy trial. On the other hand. his opponents were free in expressing the opinion that after the legal preliminaries had been swept away and the taking of testi- nony had begun the governor would surrender his office rather than face a grilling cross examination which prob ably would search out the innermost secrets of his life.
 Tonight a mass meeting of sympa- thizers of the governor was held

MOSAIC TEMPLARS HOLD MASS
MEETING.

The Mosaic Templars Of this city
are planning to start campaign for
members. Tonight q mass-meeting
will be held at Mt. Olive Baptist
Church, and Friday night Of next
week a meeting will be held at Scovel
Street A. NJ. f. Church.
The Mosaic Templars is one OF the
strongest orders in the country. The
membership is not very large in this
city, owing to the fact that the merits
of the order are not known. They
pay an Endowment Of $500 and a
burial fund of $50. They pay both of
these Immediately, or as soon as proof
of death is filed. The payments are
in full both for burial and endow-
ment.
Another good thing about the Mosa-
ic they have a state burial fund, and
the lodges with few members are
enabled to have as nice funerals as
the lodges with large memberships.
When the people of this city learn Of
this order they will flock to It in
droves, because of It's simple business
methods but at the same time Is strict
and prompt in all transactions. At
these mass-meetings these things will
be told by able speakers,
