Wages have not entered into the
dispute between the trades council
and the contractors. It is merely a
matter of recognition. The trades
council has demanded that every en-
ploye. whether a union or non-union
man, bear card of the building

the demand and yesterday refused to
meet with officials of the trades
council

Strange Spectacle Presented in En-

IMPEACHMENT TRIAL SET

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 13.-All eyes
are turned upon this, the capital OF
the Great Empire state, and the
mighty battle in which are arrayed
against each other, Charles +. Muir
ply. boss of Tammany, fighting for
his political life and for the con-
troll of the Empire States Democ-
racy. Pitted against him is Cover
nor Sulzer lighting for his reputa-
ton and his seat in the Peoples
House." but-of far more concern
to Murphy and his Machiayellian
cohorts backed up by all OF the
enemies of the Tammany Tiger,
whether or not they approve of Sui
zer.
With the date of trial before the
Senate and the Court of Appeals
fixed for Thursday, September is,
the spectacle is presented of two
men claiming to be the governor OF
the Empire State.
As soon as the articles of i'm
peachment, drawn up early this
morning, were presented to the sem
ate this afternoon. Lieutenant Gov
ernor NJ. NJ. Glynn announced his in
tention of occupying the executive
chamber.
Friends OF Sulzer declared that
the governor intended to continue
in office and would use oyery
weapon at his command claiming
that the assembly had no constitu
tional right to consider the i'm
peachment in extraordinary session.
Some asserted that the governor
would so so far as to summon mill
tary protection if necessary to pre-
vent the lieutenant governor from
occupying the executive chamber.
judge D. c. Herrick, who will be
Governor Suffers chief counsel at
the trial said that talk OF resorting
armed resistance was all rot,
"He will bear the charges against
him in an orderly, dignified way.
There will be nothing unbecoming
the dignity of the state He will
engage in no physical scramble to
assert his rights in discharging his
duties as governor, said Judge Her
rick.
The governor himself was silent
When at o'clock he left his offices
in the capitol where he had been
closeted all day, he was asked if he
intended to return tomorrow.
"Yes stree" he said in angry
tones.
Lieutenant Governor Glyun would
not hint at the course he intends
taking towards occupying the exccu-
tive chair.
SThere will be no circus or mill
tary maneuyers executed in the ex-
ecutive chamber. The law is su-
preme" he said.
The vote to impeach the governor
was passed in the assembly shortly
after an all night session by 70 to
AS. A committee of nine managers
headed by Assembylman Levy, ma
iority leader, was appointed to pre-
sent them to the senate.
The senate met at O'Clock and
l ; minutes later the house commit
tee of nine were soIemnly ushered

All chicks are orphans in the respec t
that they are not aware Of either of
their parents, but those that you get by
express from commercial hatchery
are especially orphaned. and it is abou.
these ] write in this article.
Tho business In orphan chicks has
grown tremendously within the last
year or two, and there will be literally
millions Of babv chicks shipped all over
this country this spring, Except in the
case Of very fancy show stock. this
plan seems destined TO largely supplant
the old practice Of buying eggs for

Tho great advantage Of buying ready
hatched day-old chicks instead of egg:
lies primarily in the fact that you buy
an actual. living, hoalthy chicken, in
stead of an egg that has only nine
chances in ten 20 be fertile, aud one
chance in two 70 hatch n healthy chick
You can well afford TO pay twice a.
much for bye chick as for the egl
