rest Other arrests are expected to
follow in the rigid investigation begun
by DR.. Keib.
The shades were drawn in the dor
mitories and the inmates were asleep
when Thaw left his room. He was
fully dressed The milkman's cart
was rumbling on the road outside as
he walked through the storeroom and
into the outer courtyard of the
grounds.
Barnum, sole attendant at the road
gate, was pacing back and forth when
Thaw closed the stOreroom door be-
hind him and apparently did not
grasp the significance of Thaw's early
rising.
A siX-cylinder touring car of sixty
horse power, followed by limousine,
also black, loafed laZily along the road
as the milkman drew near the gate.
Thaw standing a few feet away ap-
parently unconcerned, waited till Bar
rum unlocked the gate and swung
it wide to let the milkman enter
At the same moment the two cars
drew up on the further side of the
road, opposite the gate and stood
still, their engines throbbing.
AS Barnum stepped aside for the
milkman to drive inside the grounds
he heard the gravel crunch beneath
Thaw's feet and, looking up, saw the
mailman flash past him for one of the
waiting cars
With a shout Barnum started in
pursuit but a flying leap landed Thaw
safe within the car. The wheels were
turning before the keeper had fairly
reached the roadway. They were
throwing up cloud of dust before he
had gone twenty-five feet.

Desperate Fighting Reported
at Canton.

Canton, China, Aug. 15.-Twelve
hundred were killed in the fighting in
Canton city. Pillage is in progress
everywhere.
Half of the government troops have
joined the rebels and together they
have looted the principal goldsmiths
and silversmiths' stores.
An attack on the foreign conces-
sions at Shameen is believed by for
eign residents to be in contemplation
and the detachment of Indian native
troops stationed there as a guard was
reinforced from Hongkong. The for
eign quarters serve as a buffer be-
tween the rival forces.
A huge fire broke out, destroying
thirty barracks, and as a result of the
accompanying rioting the exodus OF

UTILITIES RULES ARE REVISED
Railroad Commissions New Code Is
Framed After Hearing.

New standards for gas and electric
service in Wisconsin were ordered by
the Wisconsin railroad commission,
the revised set of rules superSeding
those established July "a, 1908. The
new standards are the issue of a pub
lie hearing given by the commission
at Milwaukee on April %, 1913, which
was we'll represented by the repre-
sentatives of municipalities, gas and
electric utilities, technical societies
and journals and of the bureau OF
standards at Washington.
The suggested rules were prepared
bv members of the engineering staff
of the railroad commission based on
a thorough study of the subject cover
ing the five years which have elapsed
since the issuing of the original or
der establishing standards of service.
Without materially changing the
standards to be furnished by the gas
and electric utilities of the state the
revised rules will define somewhat
differently the practices of the utili-
ties in order to maintain these stand
ards.
The companies are given two
months time to comply.

ACCUSES S0LON
or CORRUPTION
Former Chief Page Of House
Before Lobby Probars.

Washington, Aug. 16.-In a dramatic
statement |. H. McMichael, dismissed
chief page of the house of represen-
tatives, presented to the house lobby
investigating committee a sweeping
charge Of corruption against Repre-
sentative James E. McDermott OF ILL
nois, for years his sponsor
With intense earnestness McMi-
chael, in picturesque language, cor
roborated the allegations of M. M.
Mulhall against McDermott and made
additional charges, at times shocking
the committee and spectators with
outbursts of profanity and slang.
The witness protested that for years
he had exerted every effort to support
McDermott, had loaned him money,
had helped him in his campaign. Now,
he said, McDermott had thrown him
down and he felt that he must tell
the truth.
In addition to the charges already
made McMichael sWore that the Chi
cago representative told him that he
received $500 out of a fund Of $10,-
900 raised by the pawnbrOkers of
Washington to oppose a bill passed
in the last congress regulating inter
est rates in the District. Of Columbia.

Gov. Su|zer Of New
York ImpeaChed.
SENSATION NEAR END
Statement Is Made That Mrs,
SuIzer Assumed Response
bi|ity for Stock Deals.

Albany, n. Y, Aug. 14.-With three
votes more than the required ma
jority Governor William Sulzer was
impeached by the assembly for al
legged high crimes and misdemean-
ors'' in connection with the cam
paign fund.
After an all night session, spent by
the majority in filibustering until
Tammany absentees could arrive, the
vote was taken at 5:16 a. M, result
ing in 70 for impeachment to As against.
The first Impeachment of a gov
ernor of New York state came close
on the heels of the most sensational
feature in the Sulzer-Murphy war
when Mrs. Sulzer told certain sena-
tors that she was responsible for the
Sulzer stock market deals and that
the governor knew nothing about it.
She offered to shoulder all blame.
Throughout the long night, while
tired ,assemblymen nodded in their
seats, the Tammany men, knowing
that they still lacked few votes
of the 76 necessary to put through the
Levy impeachment resolution, kept
up a constant fire of speechmaking
and debate to prevent a recess.
Real Sensation Sprung.
1t was 2:30 a. M, after Aaron j..
Levy and other Tammany men had
talked for hours, ostensibly defending
the resolution, but in reality filibus-
tering to await the arrival of alb
sentees, that Minority Leader Hinman
sprang the real sensation.
He told the assembly that Mrs. Sui
ger had assumed the responsibility OF
the financial transactions and stock
market speculations charged against
Sulzer in the Frawley committees re-
port and was at that moment prepar-
ing a formal statement for submission
to the legislature.
Hinman said he was not certain
just what Mrs. Suffers statement
would be, explaining he had the facts
second hand from Senator A. J. Pal
mer of Kingston to whom "the gov
ernors lady" made her alleged con-
fession.
Humans announcement threw the
assembly into an uproar. Instantly a
dozen men were on their feet. The
sleepy ones woke up and those who
had gone to corridors and committee
rooms, hurried in, thinking that the

when the Tammany leaders were sat

Then Peter hoped off out of sight.
The two little Dummies sat just as he had
left them for what seemed to them
very long time. They didn't know where
Peter had gone or what he had gone for.
They could see their two little sisters
eating some tender young clover their
mother had brought them and they
wanted some, too. If they didn't get
over there soon it would all be gone. It
seemed to them that never. never had
they wanted anything so in all their
short lives, and probably they never
had.
At last Little Pete could stand it no

much like his father. He not only look

happy-go-lucky kind.

Something must have happened to ia
Their or else he's forgotten all about us.
I'm going to get some Of that clover"
Better mott" said Little Jed. you
know we are not to move so much as
one of our ears.
Little Pete sighed, but he sat perfectly
still few minutes longer. Then as he
saw that there were only two or three
clover leaves left his appetite got the
best of him and he started for the place
such feast. He hadn't taken two tiny
jumps before an angry thump on the
ground right behind him made him stop
and turn his head. There was his father.
Peter Rabbit, who had stolen back very
softly and had been watching AL the
time. Little Pete hung his head. And
then when he saw Peter give Little Jed
nice big bundle of sweet clover two
big tears ran down his cheeks, for he
knew that as a punishment he was to
have none, and it did look, OH so good!

Pete. And then he wondered what
