Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. ia
corps of outside detectives arrived
here, today, to assist the local po-
lice department in it's efforts to cap
tare the robbers Who late yesterday,
held up three clerks in the John j.
Thomson Jewelry Store here, killed
two of them and perhaps fatally in
1ured the third and escaped with
about $4,000 worth of jeweIry.
Though the wounded clerk recover
ell consciousness, last night, long
enough to give the officers i fairly
coed description of the robbers, the
rolice. this forenoon, had failed to
get any definite clues as to their
whereabouts.
After the shooting, the robbers stop

Huret's body, had exploded, accounted
for the escape of the other members
of the family.
But little is known of the tragedy
beyond the results. Mrs. Hurst who
escaped injury, how she says she does
not know, stated that her husband
awoke the family and told them to
go into his bedroom. After they had
all entered he closed and locked the
door and said:
I'VE will all die together
Then he picked up a stick of dyna-
mite from the floor and threw it un-
der the bed. There was deafening
roar and Mrs. Hurst remembered
nothing more until she came to con-
scfousness at the home of a neigh b or
nearly an hour later. The noise. of the
explosion awake the whole city.
Police and firemen hastened to the
scene and began search of the ruins.

other two daughters were in another
part of the ruins. Both were uncon-
scious and it was some time before
they were revived. Neither was able
to tell anything of the occurrence.
Every pane of glass for a block
around was broken and other minor
damage done homes in the innm ediat tie
vicinity. Hurst, who had not been
working for some time, had been act
ing strangely of late and an inquisi-
torial body had declared him insane.
It was not thought, however, that his
insanity was of a violent kind and
preparations for his custody had not
been made.

There is not a, single house on either
street.
''On the other hand and many
other citizens of Bridgeport have built
good houses, laid curb and cutters and
are trying to build up a good COM

develop the tract which F'a11on and
Greenstein control but we do think
some money should be voted for street

have built our homes

petitions for different Improvements
in that section but nothing has come
of any of them. believe the Com

sewer in East Eaton street but the
natural outlet Of that street is into
Park avenue and there is no sewer

Nothing has ever been done to i'm

Especial to the F,armer)
Albany, Sept. 19-The high court of
Impeachment convened for the trial of
Gov. William Sulzer on charges of
high crimes and misdemeanor, and was
called to order at 1880 O'Clock, this
morning, by Chief Justice Cullen, of
the court Of appeals. The roll call
showed a quorum present.
Senator Wagner, chairman of the
committee on rules, submitted the re-
Qor< of the committee which was
adopted without objection. The rules
provide for two sessions daily except
Satu: day. The hours may be changed
from time to time by the court for
lack of witnesses or other cause. The
ed by the supreme court rules of the
state and final judgment of the court
shall lie certified by the president of
the court and the clerk of the court.
D-Cady Herrick, leading counsel for
Gov. SuIzer, argued in behalf of the
challenge of yesterday. Judge Her
rick stated that the objection to Sen
ator Wagner was based upon the fact
that 'as acting lieutenant governor
he is Interested in the result of the
ton of the defendant ne would sue
ceed to dignity, profits and emclu-
ments of the Office of lieutenant gov
ernor.''
Judge Herr1ck read the articles or
impeachment as adopted by the assem-
bly, and said the defense's challenge is
founded on 1.-The right to seek trial by
an impartial tribunal-one that is not
prejudiced in advance"
Every member of this high court, -
he said, SHOULD be free from even
suspicion of bias in order that the
trial of the governor might be given
"such treatment as is accorded the
meanest criminal accused of the
smallest crime
Judge Herrick held also that the
F'raw1ey committee members were pre-
c1uded from sitting because the rules
adopted governing the conduct of the
court provided that no person could,
in effect, act both as prosecutor and
judge.
At the completion of his arguments.
he formally challenged the right OF
the four Senators to sit. AS Judge
Herrick closed, Judge Alton B. Park

managers, rose to speak without no

Vaughan Registers Vigorous Kick
Against Administrations Methods
Of Doing Business Of Citizens

cannot understand why the Com
mon Council should vote $1,000 for the
grading of Lorraine and Herlimer
streets when not one cent is voted or
no effort is made to improve Park ave-
nue. north of North avenue or any of
the streets in that section on which
houses are built said Leslie E.
Vaughan today. Mr. Vaughan, who is
widely known throughout the Eastern
states as a teacher of the violin, was
a caller at the City Hall this morning
with a kick.
He wanted to see Mayor Wilson, but
the mayor had not put in an appear
ance at his office up to 1885, although
the sign on his door reads that his Of
fee hours are from IL until O'Clock
daily. After waiting for more than
half an hour to see the mayor, Mr..
Vaughan said:
'I cannot understand why city Off
cials do not keep their Office hours.
Every time I have had occasion to
come to the City Hall to see some Off
cia1 my mission has been unsuccessful
because I have never been able to find
that particular official at the time he
was supposed to be in his Office
Mr.. Vaughan owns a, home in East
Eaton street, one of the new streets
in the section that is being rapidly
built up by home builders, just north
west Of Park and North avenues.
There IS no sewer in North Park ave-
nue. and no improvements have been
made by the city on any of the streets
where costly homes have been built in
that section The Common Council,
however, voted $1,000 this spring to
grade Lorraine and Herkimer streets
on which no houses have as yet been
built. Mr. Vaughan was anxious to
see Mayor Wilson this morning be-
cause he wants something done in the
section where houses have been built.

New York, Sept 19.-The body OF
William j. Gaynor, mayor of New

lay today in his Brooklyn home. In a
drizzling rain it was lowered at four
o'clock this morning from the decks

squad of 100 mounted police formed
its escort to Brooklyn
The rout lay through Lower Broad
way and the financial section to Park
Row past the City Hall and across
Brooklyn bridge. AOver this bridge,
which the mayor had so often trod OH
his way between his home and his Of
fee, the funeral party went with
measured tread. 1t was after o'clock
when they reached the mayors home.

bor aboard the Correction were Nor
man Gaynor, the mayors son, and
Harry Vingut, his son-in-law, repre-
senting the family. No other MEM

that as little publicity as possible be
attached to the landing of the body.
To facilitate this. the slip at which

made public in advance

police, less than 100 persons Witnessed

oe appeals and the Senate and you are
without power to say to any mem
Der, whether Judge or Senator. You
shall not sit in this COURT
Judge Parker declared that the franz
ers OF. the state constitution made no
provision for the right either of judge
Senator or council to challenge any
member of the high court.
Citing precedents established in the
trial of the impeachment of President
and judicial officers Judge Parker ar
gued that the people of each Sena te
district in the state were entitled to
the vote Of their representative. Hi1
precedents ranged in time from the
18th century, in England, to 1909, when
during the impeachment of John H.
Shiveley, of the state of Washington,
16 of the AZ members of the Sen ate
were challenged and all 'fwere over
whelming1y overruled."
In the Sh1veIey case Judge Parker
pointed out, it had been held that a
senator's vote belonged to his con-
stttuents and to him" The only prece-
dent in support of the challenges, he
said, was one in which a senator had
been excluded because he was a broth
er of the accused. He did not specif1-
cally mention the case referred to.
with all the preponderance Of prec-
dent overwhelmingly against the right
Of challenge clearly IN nlnd, he con-
tinued, "the trainers of our constitu-
ton did not see fit to include in it a
provision which would permit mem
bers of the highest court of the state
to be challenged merely because they
had served on committee or commits
sions primarily responsible for the i'm
parchment"
Touching particularly on the con-
tentton that Senator Wagner should
not sit, Judge Parker insisted that the
eenat tor was not in reality the lieuten-
ant governor, but merely acting as
president protein. of the Senate. He
added that if Senator Wagner were to
become lieutenant governor he would
not be directly affected by this pro-
ceeding because it was the governor
ship and not the lieutenant governor
ship that was at stake.
