FENSE(
GOVERNOR
TORN To
SHRE[)S
Executives Stock Operations
Were Changed From "Spec-
uIative" to loan" Ac-
count, Says FnanCier

Albany. N Y. Sept 3O.-The
worst blew yet suffered by the de-
tense in the impeachment trial Of
Governor william Sulzer was sus-
tained today, when Melville Fuller
of the brokerage firm of Harris &
Fuller admitted under oath that the
governors margin account" was
changed on the books of the firm the
day after Mr.. Sulzer was inaugurated
so # would appear as loan account
and not as speculative transactions
This was designed to prevent the
odium of Wall street gambling from
attaching to the governors name
just at the time when he was advo-
eating stock exchange reforms.
Fuller's testimony was regarded by
attorneys for the managers as a
crushing blow to the defense. It vir-
tually took away Suffers main sup
ports, it was said
In November 1912, at the time of
the election. Sulzer. held 500 shares of
Big Four, and 200 shares of American
Smelling and 100 shares of Southern
Pacific, Fuller testified.
Fuller, who is Of the brokerage
firm Of Harris & Fuller. testified that
Mr.. Suffers dealings went back to
March. 1910. Mr.. Fuller had truck
load of books and papers to refresh
his memory
RECORD OF sPECULATIoNs
In a nutshell, these were the chief
points in the brokers' testimony:
In March. 1910. Mr.. Sulzer bought
100 shares of Big Four stock on mar
gins at 80. Three months later Harris
& Fuller lent Sulzer $1,000 on a certif-
cate for 100 shares of Big Four Mr..
Sulzer had bought the stock on a 10
point margin. but its decline continued
until It went to 40. Mr. Fuller's firm
advanced the governor s14.O12.50 on
the stock. and these adva2ces, coupled
with the decline, wiped out the ac-
count On July Is last the governor
had a debit account of $22, 664 with
the firm, while his holdings then had
a mean value of s2s.s0o.
Mr.. Fuller's testimony was inter-
rupted while Chester c. Platt, private
secretary to Mr.. Sulzer, was called to
the stand to identify letter written
BY the governor on September 5, 1913,
TO a Doctor Brown"
CUBAN CONTRACTOR CALLED
Just before Mr.. Platt took the stand
il was learned that summons had
been sent to former State Democratic
Chairman w. J. Connors in Buffalo.
n. Y, to appear before the court and
testify as to Suffers relations with
Hugh J. Reilly, the contractor who
did a great amount of work for the
Cuban government while Mr.. Sulzer
was in congress.
In November 1910. Mr.. Fuller said,
when his testimony was resumed, zoo
shares of American Smelling were
bought for Mr.. Sulzer.

Tonight the dance halls have their
last fling. the police commission hav-
ing refused any extension of time or
which abolishes their prosperity.
ANY effort to sell both soft drinks
and liquor will. meet with prompt
revocation of the liquor license" de-
clared President Roche of the police
commission after the executive session
last night. soft drinks and dancing
in one part of the house and hard
drinks and no dancing in another part
win not go. The board will be de-
cidedly against any attempt that Is
made to evade Its rulings by dance
halls that partition off their regular
bars and sell soft drinks where
dancing goes on
LICENSES MAY BE REVOKED
IF this is attempted the board will
revoke the liquor licenses imme-
diately. The board has no jurisdic-
tion over places where dancing is
held and no liquor sold"
Chief White said this morning that
as the commission had announced
dancing could continue where soft
drinks only were sold. he would raise
no objection himself. IT'S all right

to American industries.
NO DANGER, SAYS UNDERWOOD

of this bill working an injury to the
great producing interests of this
country" said Underwood. They
built their business on a scaffold.
They were surrounded by artificial

Earsiuhted Economy.

Mrs. Wipedunks-Jenkinson we ought to take one of the first class magazines. It's only $+ year, and the children are getting old enough now to have something good to read.
 Mir. Wipcdunks-Only $4 year! That's all, is it? If you begin on magazines you'll think you have to keep it up. At the end of every year you'll want to have 'em bound. There's two volumes in year. Costs $l volume for binding. That makes $G year. In ten years it's $60. Then you'll want book case to hold the twenty volumes. That'll cost about $25 because you'll think it ought to be big enough to hold the twenty more volumes. There's $s5 thrown away. Do you think Pm made of money?

RAPID EATING IS WRONG.
Reasons Why Even Soft Foods Should
 He We'll Masticated.

When we do not chew our food properly the evil consequences are many and often serious in their ef- feet upon health and even life. In the first place, a person who does not chew his food sufficiently is sure to eat too much. That is especially true in the case of soft foods, which are sometimes literally shoveled into the stomach. Food that needs mastication will generally get lit tie, even from the worst sinner, al though sometimes it gets only enough to make the act of swallow ing possible.
 Thorough mastication acts in two ways to diminish the amount of food you take. If a proper propor- ton of the time spent at the table is occupied by the work of mastica- ton, the amount of food taken is naturally less. Furthermore, those who chew properly do not crave food as others do, for they digest what they. swallow, and are free from the unnatural hunger that torments the rapid eater. Mir. Fletcher, the dietician, has proved that he can maintain d high degree of health and vigor on much smaller amount of food than most people think they need.
 Another real danger to the health of the rapid eater. arises from the unbroken Jumps of food that pass into the stomach. In some cases the digestive juice struggles with them in vain, and they cause much discomfort, and often serious disorders-pcrhaps even appendi- citis.
 Children should be taught to chew their food well, for the healthy condition of the mouth and teeth in after life depends upon their doing so. If the jaw does not grow properly there is not enough room for the teeth. Now, the growth of the jaw depends in large measure on the mastication it is called upon to do. The teeth them selves suffer also. They miss the active circulation of the blood, the stimulation of the gums, and the cleansing of the mouth by the sali- vary glands that follow upon the act of chewing.-Youth's Compan- ion.

ResourcefuI Livingstone.

David Livingstone, explorer and missionary, was man of varied ac- complishmcnts. Besides getting himself taught on board ship, and later by Sir Thomas Maclear, to take with great accuracy astronoml- cal observations for fixing latitude and longitude, besides acquainting himself with botany and geology, with patristic Literature and Egyp- tology, Livingstone was an excel lent mechanic, a steersman and a mariner. His resourccfulness was at all times remarkable. When he was hard up for fuel on his first steamer journey up the river Shire, he landed in the elephant marsh. Here no trees existed and no fuel was obtainable, but his men found many bones of slaughtered ele- plants. Livingstone at once took the bones on board, burned them in the furnaces of the Ma-robert and so continued his journey.

A Standino Invitation.

A Chicago stenographer. is so per feet in her own opinion that the boss could never tell her anything that did not bring forth an answer in her own defense. One day the president of the concern came into the office and as the boss was away down at the other end he did not see him for several minutes. The president stood at the gateway look ing around silently until the boss came up and greeted him, taking him into the private office to sit down. When the president had gone the boss said:
 "Miss Steno, why didn't you ask the president to sit down?"
 "Why," retorted the stenogra- phcr, "he has a standing invitation, hasn't he ?''-Chicago Tribune.

WEIGHT OF THE EARTH.
And tho Method by Which Scientists
 Arc Able to Measure 1t.

Over a century ago, after the ancients, medievals and other modern astronomers and physicists had failed to agree about the weight of the earth, the celebrated scien- tist Henry Cavendish measured the attractive power that two Jumps of globular lead, which weighed re- spectively about 400 pounds, had over two similar but very much smaller objects. The plainly evil dent attractive power was estimat- ed by a dainty instrument which consisted of a thin wire, six and one-quarter. feet long, which held a little trapeze from which two tiny balls hung. As the two great glob- ules of lead approach these balls from opposite sides there occurs a twist or "torsion" of the wire. which is the index of the effect.
 Francis Baily, another physicist, repeated this work more recently. In order to secure extreme accu- racy, he made more than 2,000 separate rcpetitions of this experi- | ment.
 It is no difficult matter to com- pute the pull which the large balls must have given the small ones to produce the effect. If lead balls l twelve inches in diameter exert such Il force, what would be their force or their dead pull were they as large as the earth?
 The attractive force of the earth 1 is known. It is the weight of such balls-that is to say, their ten l dency to fall. The attractive power of the earth therefore may now be compared with the influence or drawing power" of lead.
 The mass and density of lead and similar metals is known, there fore it is merely matter of multi plying a few figures to find the EFdrawing power" or attraction of the earth and its weight. The lat ter is, according to this plan, 5.6 times heavier than a globe of water. The pendulum method consists in the comparison of two pendu- lums, one swinging on the surface of the earth and the other beneath the surface. The differences be- tween these show that at given distance below there is difference in the time of the swing. Thus the pendulums differ in a definite frac- ton of second for each number of feet below the sea level.
 This calculation has shown that l the earth is really over six times as heavy as water, and the weight Of the whole globe is 132, ,O00, ,00O, ,OO0,- 0oo,ooo,oo0,ooo pounds. = New l York Journal.

Two Kinds of Truth.

The custom of resorting to an oath in extreme cases, sanctificd as it is by all religious antiquity, is apt to introduce into the laxer sort of minds the notion of two kinds of truth; the one applicable to the solemn affairs of justice and the other to the common proceedings of daily intercourse. As truth bound upon the conscience by an oath can be but truth, so in the common af- frmations of the shop and the mar ket place latitude is expected and conceded upon questions wanting this solemn covenant. Something less than truth satisfies.-Charles Lamb.
