consecutive day William Sulzer, the

New York's two governors, after
the epistolary clash of yesterday con
tinued today with increased bitterness
their conflict for sole possession Of

and his rival lay their respective
claims before the courts for speedy
settlement, came to grief last night.
Lieutenant Governor Glynn, who
claims that he is acting governor by
virtue Of sulzer's Impeachment, noti-
fled Mr.. sulzer that he had no inten-
tion of asking any court save the
court for the trial Of impeachment to
decide the question.
Mr.. Glynn's refusal places the en-

Indications late yesterday were
that there would be an amicable ad-
iustment. Mr.. Sulzer's lawyers con
ferred with Mr.. Glynn's regarding pos
sible methods Of taking the issue into
court, and it was generally expected
that a way of doing this could be de-
vised. Mr.. Glynn's refusal to arbi'

SUFFERING CAUSED BY DRIED

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 16.-Heavy
showers last night and early today
relieved conditions in parts Of the
heat and drought stricken regions of
Missouri Kansas and Oklahoma, but
the rains we're far from general and
in most instances inadequate. In one
section it is said only 24-hour soak
ing rain can alleviate entirely hard
ships incident to drought. Where
wells and streams are dry, a heavy
precipitation is regarded as necessary
to replace the exhausted water sup
ply
Temperatures that for u days have
hoyered above the hundred mark fell
today in southern Kansas and north
ern Oklahoma because of showers and
clouds but, according to the United
States weather bureau here, there
were evidences of a thirteenth day of
extreme heat generally over the three
states.
Arkansas City, Kan, reported heavy
rain falling this morning over a wide
section of southern Kansas. Northern
Oklahoma has attained great relief
through showers that began yesterday
afternoon and continued today, Light
showers fell in this city yesterday in
the midst OF bright sunshine The
principal benefit furnished was the
cooling of the atmosphere and burn
ing pavements. Hundreds of children
and in many instances their parents
rushed into the street and stood in
the rain.
Drought in northern and eastern
Kansas and most of Missouri con
tinued unabated. Hand picked catfish
are being enjoyed by persons in east
! ern Jackson county. Most of the
streams have shrunk to standing pools
Experienced fishermen do not hesitate
to wade into these pools, feel under
the edges Of the rocks and capture
the fish in their hands.
/ This afternoon a refreshing rain
fell at st. Joseph, Mo, and there was
drop in temperature.
