BERRY PACKERS BUSY
 AS WEATHER CLEARS
THIRD CAR OF RAWBERRIES GOES OUT TONIGHT-GROW-
 FRS PLEASED.

Favored by clear skies after two days unfavorable weather, strawberry pickers resumed activities early this morning and hundreds of crates are being brought to the station for ship ment today. The third carload will go out tonight, and if the weather turns warm it is probable that two cars will be shipped tomorrow.
 The market continues good and up- wards of $2 a crate is expected to be received for today's car. The advan- tage of concentrating upon single variety, such as the Klondike, which is exclusively grown here, and of coop erating through one agent in the sales, has been strikingly shown in the ship ments here. The two cars already shipped have netted the growers $225 and S2.15 per crate, respectively, while a report from Van Buren, where mix ed varieties are grown, is to the effect that only from S1.35 to S1.65 per crate is being received for berries there.
 The growers are delighted with the success of strawberry culture and are making more money per acre than was ever produced on Faulkner coun- ty soil before L. E. Halter, one mile west of Conway, has already sold over S75 worth of berries off one and one fourth acres, and hardly one-third the crop has been gathered. In addition to this, Mir. Halter has canned and preserved a great quantity of berries too ripe for shipment. It goes without saying that the acreage will be greatly increased by another year, and the promoters of the enterprise are pre- dieting that Conway will eventually

MORGAN SCION LIVES
IN AN OLD DINGY ROOM

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 29.--Junius
s. Morgan, son Of J. p. Morgan, has
deserted his expensive quarters in
Peck Hall, one OF the most fashion,
able Harvard dormitories, for an old
fashioned, dingy room in Hollis hall,
which, with the exception of electric
lights and heat. is as primitive as 1t
was more than century ago. Al
though it is custom for students to
live in the old-fashioned yard dormi-
tories during senior year. Mr.. Morgan
is one of the first wealthy students to
observe the custom. In order to live
up to the tradition. young Morgan
has had to deny himself bath room,
and he has no elevator, nor valet. or
any provision in the dormitory that is
not enjoyed by any other occupant.

THAW and ATTORNEYS
AGAIN IN SQUABBLE
LAWYERS SAY CLIENT TALKS TOO
MUCH FOR PUBLICATION
FOR OWN GOOD.
Recent Statement May Defeat the
Chances OF Pending ExtraditiOn
Proceedings.

Concord, N. H., Sept. 29.-Relations
between Harry K. Thaw and his New
Hampshire attorneys are strained
perilously near to the breaking point.
The lawyers are displeased because of
Thaw's propensity for issuing state
ments to the newspapers. The latest
statement in which he declared his in
tention of returning to POughkeepsie
to stand trial if an indictment has
been returned against him by the
Duchess county grand jury, may seri-
ously imperil his chances of defeating
the present extradition proceedings,
according to the lawyers.
The Thaw lawyers are in confer
ence tonight over a plan to force
their client to leave the legal aspects
of the case in their hands. They de-
clare that the latest statement was
issued without their knowledge or
consent.
In his statement Thaw says an in
dictment against him for conspiracy
would not hold because he was under
commitment as a lunatic in New York
state.
William Travers Jerome will not
come here until the end of this week,
it is said.i

GAINS POINT IN I'M.
PARCHMENT COURT
Charge That Sulzer Used
Veto Power Corruptly
Ruled Out.
END OF CASE IN SIGHT
Many Witnesses Yet to BE Called.
UMacknOwledged Fund
Reaches $4,000.
END OF CASE IN SIGHT

Albany, n. Y, Sept 29-The
charge that William Sulzer used his
veto power corruptly to influence
legislation, was shot to pieces before
the impeachment court today in a
series of rulings by Chief Justice Gull
len. The result was the shattering of
the prosecutions case under the
seven articles of impeachment.
AS an offset to any comfort the
Governor might get out of these
rulings, J. A. Sorenson, of the coffee
importing firm of Crossman and
Sielcken testified that he had taken
$1,000 in cash to Mr.. SulZer, Octo-
Der 9, 1912. This brings the total of
the unacknowledged camjaiga fund
up to more than $4,000. Herman
Sielcken, of this firm, was quizzled
regarding his connection with the
coffee valorization scheme by Samuel
Untermeyer for the Pujo Committee
in Washington, while Mr. Sulzer was
congressman.
The Sorenson testimony was a
complete surprise to the defense,
being one of die many things the
governor has not confided to his
counsel
After a day spent in getting the
stories told by Mr. Suffers brokers
into the record, Mr.. Kresl for the
prosecution announced that he hoped
to conclude his case tomorrow. This
does not mean that the prosecution s
work is done, for many witnesses
are held to use in rebuttal after the
defense has been put in.
AS incident to the days proceed
ings it was learned that. Frederick
L. Colwell, the Governors alleged
Wall street agent, has been found,
and that John Boyd Gray. the broker
who handled the famous account
500" for Sulzer cannot be found.
The Governors chief councillors
were gratified by the course events
took today. Word came from the
executive mansion late tonight that
the Governor himself was elated and
is more than ever determined to 60
on the stand and to lay his case be-
fore what he calls the higher court
namely the people.
If present plans hold Louis Carecky
and a few other witnesses, including
Melville B. Fuller, will take the stand
tomorrow.
The Governors case, as now out
lined, will take three or four days II
the governor can tell his story in
one. The end Of the case ought te
come sometime next week.

SUPREME court
HAS REC0NVENED
With Full Membership Pres

Are Submitted.
LIQUOR ACT BOBS UP
Election Case OF Stephen Brundidge
is Submitted on Rehearing.- Other
Important Cases on Docket.

Little Rock, Sept. 29.-With the
full membership present the Arkan-
sas Supreme Court convened Monday
morning for the 1913-1914 term, and
over fifty cases were submitted 10
the justices for opinions.
Deputy Sheriff f. r. Allnutt open
ed the court. Chief Justice Edgar A..
McCulloch and Associate Justice Car
roll d. Wood, Jesse c. Hart, William
F.. Kirby and Frank S. Smith were on
the bench.
One of the important developments
of the session was the motion filed
by the attorneys of Roscoe Pipkin,
asking that his appeal be dismissed.
Pipkin was tried in the First Division
of the Pulaski County Circuit Court
on charge of having run over and
killed Gerhardt Morgner, a prominent
man, last year
The jury found Pipkin guilty of
manslaughter and fixed his punish
men at one year in the State pen;-
tertiary. Pipkin appealed from this
decision and it was generally believ-
ed that desperate effort would be
made to secure new trial for the
youth, and quite a great deal of sur
torneys asked that the appeal be dis
missed. so that he could begin serv-
ing his term in the State peniten-
tiary. u
Election Case Is Submitted.
The case of A. J. Walls, chairman
of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, against Stephen Brundidge,
involving the election in which Gov.
George w. Hays was elected, was
submitted to the court on rehearing.
1t is not believed that anything will
come of the case and that it will be
taken from the docket.
A case in which Abe Stiewel, the
dead banker, was interested was be-
fore the court for submission, but the
death of .Stiewel forced the lawyers
| to ask that the case be reviewed III

upon the court decided to pass the
case one week to get proof of death.
