fFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Oct S.-The resignation on
John Purroy Mitchell as Collector or te
Port of New York was not unexpecte0
here, as the understanding when he ao1

to carry forward his candidacy for Mayors
and that in the event Of his getting 'hs
nomination he could resign.
Friends of Mr.. Mitchell In Washington
say that he accepted the Collectorshlp lo'
two reasons. one to eXtricate the admin
istraton from a situation Threatening
row over the nomination OF some one eiso
and the other to add prestige TO his can

Admits Ono Auto Ride.

Questions about Sareckys use OF a
Highways Department automobile for a
trim from Albany to New York and a
Coney Island Joy ride around July were
dismissed by the witness with the remark
That he could not recall definitely, though
he remembered the automobile ride to

the admission that Sarecky had talked
with the Governor in the Executive Cham
Der just before that appearance.
The lawyer endeavored TO connect
the Frawley committee subpoena with
Sareckys request for better paying job,
but the witness insisted he had made that
request OF Sulzer early In June He said

Intellectual attempt to get the admission
that he had amended his answer because
he recalled that the Frawley committees

Incidentally, the lawyer brought out at
this point that the civil service rules had

that Stanchfield could accomplish was TO
draw out and emphasize the futility OF
some OF Sarecky's attempted explana-
lions, as he did. for instance. in going
over the omissions from the Sulzer sworn
campaign fund statement, which SarecKy
said he had made up and which Stanch-
field made Sarecky compare with the rec
ord of thousands OF dollars worth OF
checks and cash deposited In bank ana
stock market transactions.
When Il came to the Jacob n. Schih
check Of $500 probably the most widely
advertised accusation against the Gov
ernor, Stanchheld finally drove SarecKy
Into n position where all that remained
was the question:
"Now. will YOU tell us why from thal
statement you omitted the largest cum
trlbutIon that you had. s2,Joo?'
81 cannot think Of a single reason why
7 omitted IT," Sarecky answered, blandly
About this Schiff check, as about all
others that were admittedly received put

statement OF receipts, sarecky insisted
time and time after he had not talked 70

This exclamation debarred the witness
from saying anything about the claim
that some OF these contributions were
puroly personal In their nature. and not

beon TO admit that Sulzer was cosnlzaht
OF the fact that these checks were omitted
from tho sworn statement of receipts ana
! sareckv did not intend to put the GOV
ernor I'm any such position.
Co far as Stanchfeld and the prosecu-
ton were concerned, they had to be con-
+, tent with pounding away on the ihieI-
.nca that Sarecky had talked over with
s,iIzer the question Of emitting the money
received from the sworn statement De-
cause they could not break down the

on Sarecky's evidence by asking whether

for the single occasion, and he would not
permit the lawyer to get that evidence
into the record of the impeachment trial.

Horgan Had a Hand in II.
On the redirect examination Human
brought out that Mathew J. Horgan, sec
rotary to the F'rawiey committee, had
been in the Sulzer office and had assisted
him in making up the campaign fund
statement, Horgan's part, sarecky said,
consisting OF handling the adding machine,
which he brought down from his own Of
fee
Sarecky also testified that Sulzer had
never kept any books Of account in his
Office and that there was no method at
all in the way OF keeping the Office rec
ords in order.
Following Sarecky, the defence put on
the stand John y. Carlisle, Superintend-
ent of Highways, to identity a report
which he made to the Governor on the
Emerson-Prime highway appropriation
bills, which the prosecution tried to show
the Governor signed after he had been
led TO believe that Senator Emerson In
tended to vote for his direct primary blu
at the extra session Carlisle reported
that the bills were not half as vicious as
their opponents held them 20 be, and adj
yocated their approval by the Governor.
Next, and last OF the witnesses for the
defence. to give testimony. came Hugh ].
Reilly, - the contractor whose claim
against the Cuban government William
sulzer, then Congressman. helped In OBJ
tanning paymen. for by stirring up the
United States authorities. Reilly. who
said he was seventy years old. swore that
on August s OF last year he lent William
sulzer 81 ,5O0; on September 8. 5000: on
September u, another 5000: on September
IA. 5000; on October z. $1,000. and on
November s. 5000.
On cross-examinaticn by Mr.. Stanchneid
Reilly admitted that he was the Reilly
interested with Senator Frtas or Cubs.
IN the Cientuegos contract, but further
DISCRIMINATION about that matter was
ruled out by Judge Cullen, on the obtec-
ton OF the defence.
stanchfield made Reilly admit that he
had taken no note or written evidence OF
obligation from Sulzer for this s&50.
and had no collateral. although on pre-
vious loans, one of $4,000. in June. 1872
he took collateral.

Hennessy's Story Barred.

The sudden end Of the defence came
just after President Cullen had barred
out testimony which the Sulzer law
yers had sought to obtain from John
a. Hennessy. the Sulzer department
investigator. Louis A. Sarecky had
gone through his cross examina ton to
The end without fiinching, although the
prosecution got from him testimony
seeming contradictory in places and
had made him admit that he had de-
stroyed evidence of expenditures. His
testimony at best did not go to show

Secret Session Probable.

Thus the summing up will not be
completed until the time on Friday
when the court takes its weekend re-
cess under the rules. 1t is the wish OF
many Of the Senators to continue in
session until the final vote be taken.
even if that be late on Friday night or
early on Saturday morning. 1t is the
opinion of others that there should be
day being a holiday, to permit the
members Of the court to digest the
testimony and closing arguments and
prepare write opinions. IL they desire.
that following the close OF the argu-
ments the court will go into executive
session and discuss the subject pre-
paratory to public vote on the ar
ticles of impeachment. though some of
the lawyers believe all the final pro-
ceedings ought to be public.
All procedure after the arguments.
though. is a matter OF speculation, and
speculation only. The one thing GER
tain is that the Court OF Appeals ad-
journed last week to Monday. and has
a calendar pending on which are many
important cases; so the judicial men,
bers Of the Court Of Impeachment will
not want any more time to be spent in
ending the sulzer trial than Is neces-
sary.

for farm hands, but young,man should
seek a place as tenant instead of as a
laborer, for in the former there are
chances that the country is just waking
up to all over the land.
Hundreds of middle-aged men in
every county in the older part of the
farming community are wanting to re-
tire from active work either by moving
off the farm or taking young man into
partnership with them. These men feel
that they have earned a rest, yet there
is no one to whom they can safely en-
trust their business.
"Their own sons have gone to the
cities or are settled on farms of their
own, and the hired men they are able
to get are a vexation to the spirit in
most instances. In despair the farmer
sells out and invests the money in bonds
or something else, to be rid of the care
of the farm, and then moves to town.
And right here is where the ambitious
young man finds his chance"

Guide TO Mount Rainier National
Park

Full directions regarding the best
method of climbing Mount Rainier,
which is surrounded by one of the
largest glacial systems in the United
States radiating from any single peak,
are given in a circular entitled General
Information Regarding Mount Rainier
National Park, Season Of 1913" just
issued by the Department of the In
terror.
Mount Rainier National park is situa-
ted in western Washington about 81
miles southeast of the city of Tacoma.
1t has an area of POI, 800 acres and in
cludes Mount Rainier and all its APP
proaches. Surrounding the mountain
are beautiful forests of fir and cedar
and in the natural parks below the
snow line are luxuriant fields of wild
flowers of all colors and descriptions.
The park is under the control and
supervision of the secretary of the
interior, who is represented in the actual
administration of the park by the super
intendent, assisted by number of park
rangers who patrol the reservation.
Between and below the glaciers are
numerous open slopes and valleys which
are covered with luxuriant growths of
grasses, sedge, and Towering plants.
These parks are diversified by growths
of alpine fir and hemlock and by many
small lakes and running streams. They
present pleasing contrast to the snow
fields and rugged peaks by which they
are surrounded, and are greatly ad-
mired by visitors. Paradise Valley is
the most frequented of the many parks.
The government road running through
this park and for some distance beyond
the Camp Of the Clouds makes is easily
accessible for tourists. Near Paradise
Valley and at the headwaters of the
Tahoma Fork is Indian Henry's Hunt
ing Ground, so named from the circum-
stances that it was formerly the favor
lite resort of small band of Kickitat
Indians. Grand park, between the
main and west forks of White River
is one of the largest and most beautiful
of the open tracts. At the altitude OF
5000 feet it is an almost level grassy
plateau, the greater part of which is
entirely without timber. Moraint
park, between the Sluiskin Range anC
the Carbon Glacier, is small and very
attractive mountain valley.

The mbitious Young Man S
Chance
Chance.

In an article entitled THE Penniless
Farmers Chance" in the current issue
of Farm and Fireside, appears the fol-
lowing:
'In spite of the cry that the high
price of land is driving young farmers
to some other occupation, there never
was a time when an ambitious young
country man had better chance than
right now. 1t is true that farm lands,
implements, the cost of living and cloth
ing are high, but there are some other
things high on the other side of the
sheet. Farm products are selling at a
very high rate, and farm labor is very
scarce, and farm opportunities are mul-
tiplying every year.
with his bare hand any young man
can lay the foundation of modest for
tune in a short time, and do it under
the most healthful and invigorating
conditions. In other words, there never
was such demand for good tenants as
there is at present-tenants, not farm
hands. of course there is . steady cry
