THE TEXAS SENATE
 GUSTS GOVERNOR
James F.. Ferguson Convicted on Ten Articles of Impeachment--Lieu- tenant Governor Automatically
 Succeeds to the Office.

Austin, Tex, Sept 22-The senate high court of impeachment which has been trying Gov. James E. Fer guson for the last three weeks, this afternoon sustained ten of the twen- ty-one charges in the bill returned against him by the house committee of the whole.
 The vote on the first article that he used S5,60O of the state funds 10 settle a personal obligation-was sufficient to convict. A two-thirds vote was necessary The ballot was: Ayes 27; noes i.
 Next Tuesday at noon. the senate as high court will formally pro- nounce the judgment Conviction carries with it. it is understood, dis barment from future office, but this condition may possibly De amelior- ated.
 An Editor Become Governor.
 Tonight the governor is complete ly severed from the position 10 which he was twice elected by the people. Acting Gov. William r. Hob- by, an editor of Beaumont, assumes lthe full power of office. His tenure will extend to January, 1919. | Mir. Ferguson said he did not know what his future plans will be. It is probable he will go to his Bell Bosque ranch for rest. After that he will decide if he will return to his old home in Temple. where he founded the Temple State Bank and , formerly conducted his various ranch properties.
 The ex-governor received his de- feat eheerfully enough. After the first ballot which decided his fate, he left the chamber for moment He returned in time, however, to hear his old friend and supporter, Senator I. E. Clark, stubbornly an- lnOunce on the third ballot his inten- ton to vote mo" on each of the twenty-one charges. He joined in the laugh that followed and each ripple of merriment that greeted the succeeding ballots of Senator Clark.
 Ex- Governor Had No Comment.
 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 But on the votes that counted, those on the most serious charges against him they alone were with him. The rest of the court voted solidly to uphold the charges preferred by the house board of managers.
 Attorney General Looney tonight declined to give an opinion or dis cuss the question as to whether oI ! not it's is mandatory on the senate Ito remove Ferguson.
 "It is the senate's affair." Loones declared.

German Agents Making Trouble.

Buenos Aires, Sept. 25.--The gov ernment desires to postpone forma- ton of its German policy until it receives from Ambassador Naon, at Washington, translations of the 4t5 telegrams sent or received by the Swedish legation here.
 The entire republic is paralyzed today in a general strike, which has tied up all railroads, cut off tele- graphic communication, and threat ems famine in scores of cities. It is learned on high authority that Germans are paying expenses of many strikers to prevent their re- turn to work.
 One hundred and twenty thou sand men already are out. The gov ernment is attempting strenuously to settle strikes, while agitators equally earnest, are endeavoring to prolong the Buenos Aires local railway strike. The capital already is without milk, and electric lighI plants are operated by sailors anC soldiers. Food prices have scared tC unheard-of heights.
 The government has advised al hotels to barricade their windows with shutters, and to secure provis- ions enough to last fortnight, ofll- cially admitting that continuation O 1 tine strike for even a few days vii mean a shortage of food.
 During the night, strikers GU wires of the Central and Soul American Cable Company, severinl direct communication with Nev York. and also cut the wires of tn, Argentine National Telegraph line to Chilli, destroying all South Amer ican communication except via cabl to London, New York and down tn Pacific coast.
 A sinister connection is seen be tween the strike and German agents strenuous efforts to keep Argentin out of the war. Despite the effec of the strike. however, it is appar entity assured that President Fri goyen will announce very shortly diplomatic rupture with Germany, i not declaration of war

.l5 WERE KILLED IN
 GERMAN AIR RAID
Airplanes and Zeppclins Drop Bombs on London and British Coast 70 Injureti-Pr0perty Loss
 Was Small.

London, Sept. 25.-Fifteen persons were killed, and more than 70 were injured, when German airplanes and Zeppelins carried out simultaneous raids in England last night. The airplanes invaded the southeastern coast district of England, while the airships struck north of London, off the coast of Lincolnshire and York shire.
 The majority of the raiders who approached London were driven off by anti-aircraft guns.
 In the Zeppelin raid, the airships crossed the Yorkshire and Lincoln shire coasts between midnight and |3 a. m. They were driven off by anti-aircraft gun fire from various defended localities which they at tempted to approach. Bombs were dropped on one coast town, three women being slightly injured.
 Little damage / to property was done during the raid.
 Perfect weather prevailing during the evening, Londoners expected a visit from German fliers. Shortly after 8 o'clock, guns were heard fir ing in the suburbs. and the metrop- olis had @ recurrence of the raid te which it has become almost accus- toned.
 The Germans did not attack any points of military importance, but confined their attacks to dropping bombs on the residential quarter principally in those sections occu- pied by the poorer classes.
 Paris, Sept. 25.-Liquid fire wa! used by the Germans in an attack or the French lines north of VerduI last night. The French, however repulsed the assault with heav, losses to the Germans, the war office announced today.
 The bombardment that has beer in progress on the east bank O Chaume Wood was kept up by thu German guns during the night.
 London. Sept. 25.-The Daily Mai in an editorial commenting on las nights air raid, calls for reprisal: saying:
 The British people would viev these attacks with entire indiffer ence if they knew that everyone o them was followed by an attack il which twice the weight of bomb dropped was showered on German towns. Let's hit the Germans; hi | them hard"

Rome, Sept 24.-The Lorriete d'Ttalia, the Vatican organ, this aft ernoon says.
 Tt may be said that the Central empires, particularly Germany, has resources to conceivable diplomatic precaution which is common to con- tracting parties before the conclus- ion of agreements.
 Nevertheless, such precautions do not prevent the thought that the retieense of the German and Austri- an reply is irreeoncilable with the cause of peace, since the entente na- lions long ago made known their war aims"

4 PROCLAMATION
To Four Polk County Boys and
 Their Relatives:

To Four Polk County Boys and
 Their Relatives:
 I have just returned from a con- sultation with the District Exemp- tion Board at Fort Smith, and was much grieved to learn that thru the action of four young men in not re- spending to the call for service, Polk county is being discredited in the eyes of the state and nation. This is made to appear all the worse by the fact that in LeFlore county, Ok adjoining Polk on the west, the 2i3 men called answered "here" to the last man.
 feel that these young men are laboring under misapprehension that they do not understand the sacred duty before them, and the penalties and disgrace that will fall upon them and their relatives and children thru the future years if they persist.
 Because of this belief, as chairman of the local board. I wish to assure each one of these young men that if they will promptly come in as men should, l will go with them to the district board and do all in my power to put them in right stand ing. If they do not the long arm of the government will in the end reach out and take them, and they then will be severely punished.
 As a friend-as one who sympa- thizes with these boys in their pre- dicament, I urge them to take the only right course open to them.

SAYS AMERICAN GOLD CAN
END THE EUROPEAN WAR

New York, Mar 27.-The United
States is amply able to carry on a
war so far as funds are concerned
The United States is able to loan the
allies $4,000. 100000 without affecting
the financial conditions OF this coun
try. according to an official OF one of
Americas largest banks. He believes
American gold can end the war.
This gold is sufficient to pay the
entire cost of the war for France and
England in 100 days. This would
also buy 1913 OF the largest dread
noughts ever made. or more than all
OF the combined navies OF the world

Having a certain amount of expert
ence with automobiles, it is only nat
ural that / should look to his industry
for a place to apply this inventive
turn of mind.
The high cost of gasoline was max
ing it nearly impossible for the ordi-
nary automobilist to run his car to
any extent. l had long conceived the
idea that gasoline, or any of the by
products of coal were not the only
substances that would form suitable
combustible material for internal
combustion engines. 1t was while
working with a certain inexpensive
solid substance in my home work shop
that i noticed, that with the addition
of water, it produced very high ex-
plosive gas. The next thing to be
made was generator with simple
needle valve to reguate the flow OF
water and thus control the amount
of gas admitted to the combustion
chamber.
Now came the most important ex-
pertinent. I had the good fortune to
procure an old discarded gasoline en-
gine, which I connected up with my
generator. The inward excitement it
had created in me was intense. Now
I was to see if my work was to be a
failure. You can little imagine the
thrill of exaltation that made me quiv-
er from head to foot when it started
and ran to perfection. 1t was then
that I received my first conception OF
success in life. ROLAND Nuttlng.
