A GOVERNOR IMPEACHED

By a vote of q to 4, the Senate
high court of impeachment found
Governor James E. Ferguson OF
Texas guilty of misconduct in office
and sustained ten of the twenty-one
charges brought against him by the
House Committee of the Whole. The
conviction came after a trial lasting
three weeks which has attracted ma
tion-wide attention.
The charges against Mr.. Ferguson
are of peculiar but serious nature,
practically all involving the misuse
of state money. In most counts the
governor was charged with using
money for his personal benefit by de-
posting it in the Temple State Bank,
which he organized, or by placing it
other places where it would bring in
terest to him.
What without doubt did most in
creating a strong sentiment against
the deposed governor over the entire
country, however, was his decided
stand against the state university
that led him finally to veto the entire
appropriation for the institution be-
cause he could not run things as he
wished. Count No. 10, which was up
held by vote of % to 9, was that
he sought to coerce and influence the
Board of Regents of the University of
Texas to do his autocratic will"

THE MISSOURI UNION

The annual membership campaign
of the Missouri Student Union was
begun yesterday. 1t is to last but one
week. By Saturday night the men
and women who are giving their
time to the interests of the institu-
tion, which is so essential for the CON-
bining of students, faculty and alum
nj, hope to reach every student in the
University and obtain his or her men-
bership.
The Red and Blue contest within the
various schools is expected to stimu-
late friendly rivalry and generate en-
thusiasm for the campaign, but it
should not be necessary for those
purposes. Every student and faculty
member of the University takes a
righteous pride in the Union. for it
is more accurately his own than any
other building connected with the
campus. There it is that students of
'94 and IA meet on common ground
and discuss things of the past, present
and future; there it is the records of
the students are kept as they make
progress through life; there it is that
the Missouri Alumnus is published
which keeps the students of all years
bound more closely together.
The faculty and alumni can be re-
lied upon to do their duty-they have
done it for many continuous years.
Students, it is up to you to do yours
in promoting the campaign by joining
for the benefit and good of your ''U''
and mine. Those who do not assist in
the maintenance of Missouri's student
institutions cannot conscientiously,
in years to come. claim any of the
honor which shall crown the efforts of |
those who are working for these
things from year to year. 1t is a part |
Of your patriotic college duty to sup
port the Union now. Will you be a !
Stacker?

By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-An ap-
peal for concerted action to produce
the maximum amount of coal from
every mine was made here today by
DR.. H. A. Garfield, coal administrator,
at a conference to discuss the pro-
posed wage increase.
Under no circumstances" said
Doctor Garfield, must we allow pro-
duction to stop. We must put aside
all questions that might separate men
under normal circumstances and
work in the fullest harmony. There
must be no suspension of work"
The conference was called by John
P. White. president of the Mine
Workers of America. The miners. it
is said, will ask from s5 to $3.50 for
day work and an increase of from 10
10 20 per cent on poduction wok. The
Genital fields will first regulate the
wage difficulties in Ohio, Illinois, In
diana and Western Pennsylvania
Wage scales in other fields are based
on the pay given in these sections.

WITH BRITISH FORCES II
SALONIKI, Sept 25.-This is the stor.
of how the geese of Kale-Zir gave tn,
warning and saved the British detach
ment:
When the Bulgars left their native
Businesses and came down into thu
plains, their advance was halted by g
certain famous river and a historic
lake. A British company was holding
the Upper Lake, for it was divided into
two parts connected by the river. The
company was charged with responsi,
bility for the upper lake and five
miles of the connecting stream as far
as Kale-Zir. They had absolute CON-
mand of the lake, thanks to the motor
boats, and a crossing there was in
conceivable, but the river flowed
through maze of reeds and swamps
and forests. most parts of which ap-
peared absolutely impenetrable from
the British side. a feeling of COM
parative safety pervaded the British
camp.
Then one evening the orderly officer
set out from the camp on his bicycle
to visit two outposts up the river near
ly two miles away. 1t was very dark.
As he neared the sentry, he heard the
movement of wings, and distinguished
flock after flock of geese flying from
their night rest among the reeds.
Looks odd" he remarked to the
sentry. Then to a sergeant, I'll take
one man, sereant, and we'll cycle down
the path and have look"
The path ran a quarter of a mile
anlong the marsh and then stopped
in a sitting fence of reeds. The Of
ficer and his orderly dismounted and
listened. They could discern over in
the swamp long line of men in single
file.
Back at the picket post, the orderly
sent man to warn the camp, while he
remained behind to keep the enemy
raiders under observation.
The raiders were two hundred
strong, under command of a German
officer. They kept to the path until
just before it came into a clearing.
Then they halted and prepared to at
tack. They got into a loose sort of
open order and came on quickly. At
that moment the British officer fired
four shots. Immediately a light over
The British camp appeared. The glare
was dazzling. There was moments
silence and then a roar of fire. 1t was
complete surprise The raiders were
punched close, and must have had
fifty casualties in the first fusillade. |
They made no attempt to resist, but
lung everything away and made for
he maize fields.
The first person picked up was the
German officer in charge of the enter
rise, who had been hit in the thigh. n
Altogether there were 25 dead and So 1
wounded, while SO more surrendered !

md more kept giving themselves up

FRENCH TRAFFIC IN COINS
Copper Money Is Collected by
Merchant and EXCHANGED at Premium.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
PARIS, Sept. 25.-Traffic in copper
coins which frequently has been de-
nounced during the past two years is
still going on in France. In a great
many stores, tobacco shops, groceries
bakeries, and meat markets, at ticket
offices of transportation lines and
places of amusements sous and double
sous are taken in all through the day
and evening, and none given out if it
can be avoided. Subway and tramway
employees have even refused to sell
tickets unless the passengers offer the
exact change. Theatre and moving
picture box offices are also collectors
of copper.
NJ. HudelO, the new prefect of police,
made round of Paris in the subway
the other day. He was required to
furnish coppers for his tickets after
offering franc silver piece. At one
station the ticket seller refused in his
presence to make change for a
wounded soldier who offered a two
franc piece. NJ. Hudelo passed in his
card and ordered that the ticket be
delivered, whereupon both the ticket
and the change were forthcoming.
The result of his investigation was a
circular to commissaires of police,
calling upon them to enforce the
regulations and prosecute every per-
son specializing in copper money, and
to send to police headquarters the
names of every employee of any public
service refusing to make change with
out plausible reason.
There has been regular market for
coppers at the Place Gambetta where
