GOVERNOR FERGUSON
GUILTY ON 10 COUNTS
impeachment Judgment Will
Be Pronounced Tuesday;
Hobby Successor.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept 22.-The sem
has been trying Governor James H.
Ferguson for the last three weeks
this afternoon sustained ten of the 81
charges in the bill returned against
him by the house committee of the
whole.
The vote on the first article-That
he used 5000 Of state funds to settle
q personal obligation-was sufficient
to convict. A two-thirds vote was
necessary. The ballot was: Ayes 27;
noes. four.
Next Tuesday at noon. the senate
as high court gill formally pro-
nounce its judgment. Conviction car
ries with 1t. it Is understood, disbar-
ment from office, but this condition
may possibly be ameliorated.
Tonight the governor Is completely
severed from the position TO which he
was twice elected by the people. Act
ing Governor William =. Hobby, an
editor OF Beaumont, assumes the full
power of office. His tenure will ex-
tend to January, 1919.
Mr.. Ferguson said he did not know
what his future plans will be. 1t is
probable he will go to his Bell -Bosque
ranch for rest. After that he will
decide II he will return to his old
home in Temple. where he founded
the Temple state bank and formerly
conducted his various ranch proper
ties.
The ex-governor received his defeat
cheerfully enough. After the first
ballot. which decided his fate, he left
the chamber for moment. He re-
turned in time. however, to hear his
old friend and supporter. Senator +
e. Clark. stubbornly announce on the
third ballot his intention to vote mo-
on each of the 81 charges. He Joined
in the laugh that followed and in each
ripple of merriment that greeted the
succeeding ballots of Senator Clark.
To friends who surrounded him
when the last article had been dis.
posed of he said:
Everything will be all right
More than that he would not talk.
Senators Clark, Hall, Parr and
Woodward stuck with the governor
from start to finish. Bur on the
votes that counted, those of the mos
I serious charges against him, they
alcne were with him.
The rest of the court voted solidk
to uphold the charges preferred by
the house board of managers.

Jacobstadt and Bridgehead
Fall; Lines Are Penetrated
for Six Miles.
FLANDERS BATTLE is RAGING
Germans Refuse to Give Up
Hope of Recovering Ground
Lost to British.
By Associated Press

In the midst of Russia's internal
troubles has come another German
stroke on the Russian northern front
resulting in the capture Of the bridge
head and town Of Jacobstadt on the
Dvina and the enforced retirement oil
the Russians in this region to the
eastern bank of the river.
The fall Of the bridgehead gave the
Germans possession of new territory
on a front of approximately 20 miles
and six miles in depth, enabling them
to push their lines to the west bank
of the Dvina in this area. They took
only four hundred prisoners from the
retreating Russians. but gathered in
fifty gurs from the abandoned posi-
tions.
Yet dramatic as this suddenly de-
veloped operation was it seems un-
likely to develop anything comparing
in importance In its effect upon the
general military situation with the
desperate battle still in progress on
. the Flanders front.
Hard Losers I'm Flanders.
Loath to give up the valuable
ridges the British wrested from them
on Thursday the Germans continue to
launch desperate counterattacks from

has been very costly to the Germans

statement lays stress on the exceed

Trench Knife Replaces Bay
onet; Rifles Thrown Aside
for Hand Grenades.
Foot Soldiers Fight Shoulder
to Shoulder Supported
by Artillery.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The
hand to- hand character OF modern
trench warfare is sharply illustrated
in detailed tables of orgari2ation for
American overseas infantry units
made public today by the war depart
ment.
The complete reorganization OF the
whole infantry service outlined IN the
new tables Is based on the proven
fact that the battle will be decided
by the foot soldiers fighting breast-to,,
breast with bombs, bayonets ana
knives.
Included in the equipment of Amer
lean regiments which enter the
trenches are "trench knives" one of
the most up-to-date developments of
European battlefields. In addition
each infantry division will have 4l6
machine guns. Less than two years
ago the American army had not more
than 1900 OF these weapons for Its
entire active and reserve stock.
Equipped TO Perfection
American troops will enter the
trenches equipped and organized in a
way that no other army engaged in
the war has been able to provide.
Every lesson learned by the allies has
been adopted promptly and the over
seas units will be supplied with every
weapon found useful.
The tables published today fix an
infantry platoon as the operating unit
II will be composed of 5S enlisted men
under a lieutenant.
In each platoon there will be a sec
tion OF % bombers and rifle grena-
diers, two sections of "a riflemen--all
of them trained marksmen-and the
only survival of the old infantryman
and one section of eleven auto-rlflc-
men. who will handle the light ma
chine-guns or the automatic shoulder
rifles that may be developed.
This means there will be four light
machlne-guns on the line for every
sixty men. backed by the regimental
