 WILL TESTIFY
Those Behind Charges 0f Impeachment
 Seem Satisfied

 Temporary Quart2l.

Albany, Sept. 2O-PracticaIIy allie < the principal figures in the Sulzer frn-' peachment trial were out of town, to- day, the court of impeachment having adjourned until Monday and both. Houses of the Legislature Thurs day.
 It is probable that the board of- managers will present the a>dditionaP impeachment charges which already. have beend rawn up if enough votesi can be mustered.
 No more clashes between Gov. suI- ger and acting Gov. Glynn are autici- pated after the governors letter of yesterday acknowledging that he no has not been at his offices in ths3 Capitol for two days.
 Acting Gov. Glynn will make no at-5 tempt to move into the governors quarters but will continue to direct the States business from his tempor- ary headquarters.
 Gov Sulzer is maintaining absolute silence. Counsel for James c. Garrf- son, the newspapermen and former State emp1oye jailed, Thursday. when T he refused to answer questions pro- pounded by the Speaker of the as- sernbly, were expected to start a legal fight in their clients behalf, today. In the meantime, Garrison remains in z jail.
 The news that Louis A. sarecIry. Z Gov Sulzer's former confidential sec retary, had appeared in Buffalo and said he would return here and testi- fy, caused general satisfaction among those behind the impeachment charges.

NEW HAVEN ROAD STOCK RECOVERS
 AT OPENING TODAY

New York, Sept. 2O-Opening-Th 8 faiIure which has attended recent eff Iforts to bid up stocks led traders to take the short side at the opening, to- Eday, and the decline in progress in the last hour. yesterday, was carried further. Union Pacific, which opened shade higher, was the only active ketock to show a gain. On subsequent transactions it made an1y a, feeble re- sistance to bear pressure and before
 trading was well under way was
 forced a point under yesterdays close. Reading, Southern Pacific and Steel were pushed down 15 to A and Cana l<1ian Pacific lost 1 B. Rock Island tonce more showed pronounced heavi- iness, falling a point to a new low breccrd- New Haven, whose weakness khas been a feature of the first hour l.of itself, opening unchanged at ST.
 Closing-The market closed firm. Speculation Ianquished during today s Ebrief session. The holiday in London icut off the chance of leadership from tthat source and at home traders saw nothing in the situation to provide a sfresh impulse. Bears were not in Eclined to follow up the advantage zained at the opening when they forced down Rock Island to a new how price for the movement and un-
 settIed the Pacifics. Attempts to get back stocks revealed the character of fthe selling, the market apparently be- ling bare of actual stock. The only features of financial importance was the sharp recoveries in Sterling eX- change rates. Demand bills jumped t25 points to near 4.86. Scarcity of pcotton and grain bills and preparation Ifor remitting funds to meet the in kerest and Acknowledgements due abroad caused the rise. Bonds were
 easy.

Stewart, who is as sociated with Attorney Merva and act ed for him.

She went to him. asked him to charge a reasonable fee for his services and give her the remainder of the $40. He refused and even claimed she owed him the balance of the $z5o he had or iginally demanded.

SOFT WORDS OF TEACHERS END
 SCHOOL STRIKE
Score of Upper Grade Young sters Walk Out On the
 Board of Education.
Boys, You've Hurt Mel" Said Their Principal, Heart Brok- en-Like and the Strike Was Over.

The great strike at Longfel1ow school is over. The walking delegates and pickets have been called in and are once more grappling with the Fourth Reader. There was dramat- ic end to the big labor movement, too.
 Yesterday afternoon Miss Mary Sta pleton, principal of Longfellow school. was walking back to her duties w1sr she saw a crowd of 20 pupils in the street gathered about a young cheer motions approved in. the best varsity circles They were yelling in unison
 LongfeIIow, LongfelloW,
 Ice cream cones.
 whittier @Whr:t-er
 Boneheads, bcnes!"
 Miss Stap1eton paused to ask the meaning of the outburst. After some questioning she learned that the boys were on strike. It seemed that when the upper grades at Longfel1ow school had been changed to Whittier almost 20 boys didn't like it because the new school was far from their old haunts and the Black Rock kids were a bunch of sissies anyway.
 Why, boys, Pm surprised,'' she said. '"To think you would do any thing like that. You were all such model pupils and I always thought you would act like little gentlemen D
 During this lecture there was much squirming, shuffling of feet and sheepish grinning by the audience. Roxey Rocco, the faithful cheer lead CT, held up his hand and said, @Fellers, I always fall for dis soft stuff. De strike is off, Miss Grace Anderson, principal of Whittier, contributed to the soft stuff.
 A little later a small delegation ar rived late at LongfeIlow school and the teacher asked them the reason.
 we was out he1pin' the Wh1ttiers on strike,'' was the reply. 'FWe ain't no scabs."

PARK AVENUE DIRT NOT BEING USED FOR PRIVATE INTERESTS
Temporarily Stored On Prop erty Of Barnum Estate For Use In Park Improvements.

The dirt which is being taken from Park avenue to make room for the permanent pavement will be used to improve Seaside park. The dirt is be- ing stored in a huge heap on property of the Barnun- estate near Ingleefde avenue. For more than ten years the Park Commissioners have had the use of this plot which comprises abOuS two acress, to store manure and street. sweepings which were later used in. improving the park.
 When the teams of the Burns Co., began carting the dirt from Park ave nue to this spot a story Immediately became current in the South End that the dirt was being used to improve property of the Barnum estate and especially that of c. Barnum Seeley- MT. Seeley is one of the Barnum heirr and member of the Park Commis- sion.
 Today Commissioner SeeIey laugh ed when told of the runor which haS become current.
 ''Whhy,'' said he, "the Park Board has had the use of this Barnum estate| property for a sort of store place fOri street sweepings and the like. for years. It has been understood that' all the manure and street sweepingsl within a mile haul of Seaside park isi carried to this place and stored there for use about the park.
 '"The Park Board has been trying toi raise and improve that portion of thsf park along the dyke at the foot of Iranistan avenue. There is a long trt-i angular stretch there that has given us much trouble. We cannot get trees to grow there. After the trees wei plant there reach any size at all tho. roots get down so far that they strike salt water and then the trees dles. TVo have got to raise this portion of tho park and so Commissioner Garfield Gr-. ranged with Mayor wilson and Direc- tor of Public Works Courtade that we might have the dirt taken from Par tzi 
 '4The broken stone is taken out ana used over again by the city and the. Park Boar gets the use of the dirt thatI is left For years we have been UGinsl this dirt and sweepings to fllI unsisht~l ly places about the park. This mafer' rial is being stored temporarily oui land of the Barnum estate"
 Hundreds of loads from Park avenue have already been dumped fin this store place and from the excavation ! in Park avenue alone it is estimated that the Park Board will have mate rial enough to fill in all the low places at the foot of Iranistan avenue
