big league campaigns are being project
ed by Netlonal Leaguers. American
LeaSders are perfectly satisfied with the
present style. In four years the Ma
tonal League has been humbled by the
younger organization in the series that
attracts the attention of the fans all
over the world. The Cubs and the
Giants have been unable to stem the
tide. When the National Leaguers get a
team strong enough to oppose the
American League with some chance of
winning, the present system will look
good to them, and not till then. Mean
while, we Washington fans think We
may land in first place, and are per-
fectly satisfied with the system now in

VOTE TO DUST SULZER IS SAID TO BE 43 TO IA Informal Ballot Taken Early Today = Official Poll of Judges Due to Begin at
 3 O'clock. VOTE LOST TO FOREVER
 BAR HIM FROM OFFICE High Court of Impeachment May Complete Its Work Before Adjournment
 Today.

Albany, Oct 16-The high court of Impeachment which is trying William Sulzer adjourned shortIytafter o'clock today, to meet again at o'clock, this afternoon. at which time it was an- Houneed d start would be made on. the final vote to determine the guilt or innocence of, the governor.
 It was reported that the court voted Informally in it's secret session, this morning, to remove the governor from office by a ballot of 43 b 14. A vote to disqualify him from ever holding another office underline state was lost.. it Was said.
 There was not. a single vote favor able to disqualification, it was re- ported. Every article of Impeachment was voted upon separately, according to the news that leaked from the fcourtroo1n, and not all of them were sustained. Those on which the gov ernor was reported to have been held guilty were articles l, 2. 6 and of the Impeachment charges. The first three are the money articles hav- ing to do with the alleged faIsff1ca- ton of the governer's campaign state ment and the misuse of campaign contributions. Article 4 relates to suppression of evidence by the gover- nor before the Ffaw1ey committee.

SENATORS SAY UNJUST
 TO FORM CONCLUSIONS
 FROM INFORMAL VOTES

Albany, Oct 16-When a verdict will be reached in the Impeachment trial ok Gov. William sulzer now de- pends entirely on the length of the speeches of his Judges in explaining their votes ss5s@s
 This applies both to the remarks in secret sessions. one of which was be : gun with the opening of court, today. and the sessions which were to follow and in which the final votes were to be taken.
 Efforts to attach significance to the informal votes were denounced by many of the Senators, today, as un- just, both to the members of the court itself and to the governor. It was pointed out that not only questions of fact were being discussed and decided in the case of each article but also the legal adnissabf1ity of the article and while member might vote to admit the article from a legal point of view on his informal vote he might decide that the governor was guilty under the evidence when it came to his formal vote or vice versa
 All of the eight articles of impeach- ment wereto be discussed in the sec ret sessions and informal votes taken on them :. This was for the purpose of giving an opportunity for an ex- change of ideas regarding the law and the evidence. Then, having threshed out these problems it was be- Heved great deal of time would be saved when it came to take a final vote.
 The first article was under informal discussion when court adjourned, last night, and it was hoped that the other articles might be covered informally before court convened for the after noon session, today.
 There was no certainty, this morn ing. that all of the articles would be thrown into open court for vote. As the informal discussion proceeded, the court was to decide if any of the arti- c1es were not substantiated by enough evidence to warrant their being left to vote upon. Hence there is a pos torneys for Governor Su1zer to the various articles will be disposed of in the informal discussions.
 While it was possible discussion might end, tonight, it may not be com pleted before Friday, the last court day of the week. The trial began a month ago today.
 The eight articles were to be voted on. separately in the order in which they came. The names of Senators and judges were not to be called in the ordinary manner of taking a roll call. Not until after the eight articles had been voted on could a vote be taken on whether Governor Sulzer should be removed from office Con viction even one article would be sufficient ground on which to remove him but, on the other hand, convic- ton on all of the articles need not mean necessarily that he would be cast out. He might be found guilty and stiE be permitted to retain his office. The extreme penalty would be removal from office and prohibition from ever again holding a position of honor or trust under the state.

Isaac Hawes. owner and driver of the Stearns touring car in which Alma Best was killed at stepney a week ago Monday, and the three other occupants injured while attempting to reach Bridgeport from the Newtown Inn in record speed, has been held criminaIIy responsible for her death in an inquest finding filed today by Coroner John J.

MILLIONAIRE, ONCE
 POOR WESTPORT BOY DIES IN NEW YORK
Remains of Thomas Shertliff Expected in Town of His
 Birth Late Today.
Especial to The Farmer )

Westport Oct. 16-Thfs town was saddened today by news of the death in New York city. early today, of a Westport boy who had made his fame and fortune in the big city-Thomas Short1iff. His death occurred after a short illness. His active interest," in the affairs of the town of his birth where he spent his summers and where he was a. frequent uidwinter visitor, made him familiar to most of the residents of the town, and news of his demise came to many as a dis tinct personal loss. --zsz = s-s MT. Shortlin was born here 65 years ago in the house at Ming and Myrtle streets where he spent most of his summers. When he completed his schooling in Westport, he went to New York as poor boy to work as a aptitude for business that stood him in good. stead, he worked himself for ward steadily until when little more than a, boy he started a small banking business of his own which made him rich. He sold out his banking house, and some time afterward engaged in a large clothing business in 34th street, New York, which a few years ago he sold out for a big figure. He was rated as millionaire.
 MT. Shortlin was a widower. His wife died shortly after his marriage. His only relative IS a niece, +Who l1Ved with him in his home, 1896 Topping avenue, New York city.
 MT. ShortIin was one of the most active church workers in the Church of the Assumption, the Westport Catholic church. He was member of the Holy Name society of the par ish. and was generous donor to church and charity undertakings. He was member of the Knights of Co., lunbus and of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
 The remains were expected here late this afternoon. Funeral services will be held at the bereaved home at g O clock tomorrow morning, and at the Church of the Assumption an hour later, with solemn high mass of re- quienl. Father Duggan, the pastor, will be ce1ebrant, Father Carroll of South Norwa1k, deacon, and Dr. Dren- nan of South Norwa1k, sub deacon. Interment will be in the family plot in the Catholic cemetery.

witness it Approached ina curve as though it was shot from a gun" with it's left side wheels in the air" and the testimony of (other witnesses mentioned1 that they
 never saw a machine go faster fs also important in apDreciating the speed of the machine and force of fts impact.
 This testimony coming as 1t sdoes- from witnesses living on that much motor travelled highway with that of other witnesses mentioned showing that the car was running at a hieh rate of speed fairly convinced me. in view of the twelve minutes con sumed in the seven mile drive from the Inn to the place of the accident ous and unlawful rate Of speed
 Coroner Phelan further gives due consideration of the testimony given by witnesses in the car as to the slowing of the car and application of brakes, concluding: s1t is my be- lief in view of the evidence that the speed of the machine at the begin-s ming of the curve and at the time of collision was more than 25 miles per hour and much higher than prudence dictates in assuring safety
 T am therefore of the opinion that Alma. Best came to her death from a fractured skull at the time and place above set forth and that her death resulted rom the reckleSS orlVlnB ana management of said automobile by said Isaac Hawes at the place in ques- tion and that said death is to be at tributed to the criminal act of said Hawes."
 The trial of Hawes which was set for last week has been postponed uu- til Saturday morning, when it is. ex- pected the prisoner will appear with his counsel, Jacob Klein, of this city, before Justice Charles L. Smalley, of Monroe. The complaint drawn by Grand Juror George H. Lyons will be prosecuted by Albert J. Hull. resi- dent of Monroe, practicing law in this city.
