HE MAY NOT TAKE THE STAND
Impeached Governor Still Has Control
of State Prison Department, While
Highways Bureau Remains Neu
tral Glynn Still For Peace.
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 25. It looks ns
If the efforts of the assembly Judlclnry
committee to trace to Governor Sulzer
responsibility lor the stories chnrgiii;;
that four assemblymen were bribed to
vote for his Impeachment will meet
with failure at Its session to be held
lu the city hall In New York.
Process servers hnve been diligently
searching here and everywhere for
Jamos C. Garrison, who Is to bo the
'important witness.
Garrison Is known as the governor's
"press agent" and In an interview
made the charge of bribery. However,
the committee wants to know his au
thority for the statement and Aaron
J. Levy, majority leader, believes that
Garrison got his information' from the
governor.
Garrison lias not boon seen In this
city since the assembly judiciary com
. mitteo in Now York announced he
would ho subpoenaed. lie. however,
stated he woujd disregard any sub
poena served upon him, but ho has not
permitted himself to be served.
To Hire More Lawyers.
The board of managers of the assem
bly conducting the impeachment pro
ceeding has retained Alton B. Parker,
formerly chief Judge of the court of
appeals, to aid it in the prosecution.
Additional counsel Is to bo retained
this week.
The close of the second week of
rival governorship camps at the capitol
finds Acting Governor Martin G. Glynn
In practical possession of most of the
machinery of state, so far as surface
indications go.
Mr. Glynn has adhered rigidly to his
program of quietly isolating Governor
Sulzer. He has made no spectacular
attack upon the Sulzer fortress, but nil
the while lias been entrenching him
self steadily behind the legal ramparts
furnished by the attorney general's of
fice, by means of which some of the
main state departments avowedly and
other tacitly have acknowledged their
fllleglnwc to his authority.
F Glynn Still Peacable.
1 According to the Glynn adherents,
the state prison department is the only
big wheel in the commonwealth's ma
chinery that is turning openly for Gov
ornor Sulzer. with the highway depart
ment preserving a strict armed neu
trality. So careful has Sir. Glynn been to
avoid anything savoring of a physical
contest, on which might precipitate an
appeal to the courts, that he has failed
to carry out his previously announced
intention of requistloning members of
the gubernatorial clerical staff who
continue in the service of Mr. Sulzer.
Ho also has declined to press to an
issue the contention over the delivery
of the mail addressed impersonally to
"the governor."
HOLDS IDLENESS A CRIME.
Delaware Judge Establishes Precedent
, When Wife Complains,
Wilmington, Del., Aug. 25. For the
first time in this state a man was held
in ball on a charge of idleness In the
municipal court hero. When Alphonsus
M. Acton was arraigned on n specific
charge of 'breach ' of tho peaco pre
ferred by his wife, Judge Churciiman
remarked that, according to tho de
fendant's wife, ho would not work.
'Xhu judge then said that having under
stood tlittt idleness is a crime accord
ing to Blackstone, ho would also place
that charge against tho accused. Acton
was held under a $300 peace bond and
ordered" to give $300 bail addition for
a hearing nest AVednesday on the idle
ness charge. He was unable to fur
nish ball.
"Every few days," the Judge said,
"men arp brought before the court on
complaint of their wives. The main
cause of the trouble is- that the hus
bands will not work. I hope to find a
remedy,"

"Well, I faced tho electric chair
twice, so 1 suppose I should worry
If I have to, bo back to Matteawan.
I hnven't any fenr of anything.
"It might have been better If 1
hnd crono to the chair. Then all my
troubles would have been ended and
It wouldn't bo a case of flsht, fight,
fight. But I'll get free. I'll set my
liberty. I may bo an old man, but
get It I will."
SheibrooUe, yuo.. Aug. 25. Al
though the immigration ofilclals have
tolld Franklin Kennedy, deputy at
torney general of New York, and E. A
Conger, district attorney of Dutchess
county, N. Y., that Thaw will be turn
ed over to Vermont authorities, the
representatives of tho state of New
York have discovered what they be
lieve will be an attempt to smuggle
Thaw into Pennsylvania and there
have his sanity determined.
Thaw was downcast and spiritless
when ho awoke nnd said that it might
have been better had lie gono to the
electric chair, but when he heard that
he had been tho subject of many ser
mons in tho churches nnd several of
tho pastors hnd assorted he was tho
ictim of persecution ho brightened
ap nnd declared ho would go .free oven
If ho is an aged man before tho day
of liberty comes.
The Thaw family Is leaving nothing
.mdono to save Thaw from Matteawnn.
as reports received here state that
onts of the Thaw family are ac
tive at Newport. Vt.. and other Ver
mont towns. What they are doing has
not been maclcknown. save that pub-
lie opinion U being appealed to to save'
Thaw In the event of his being sent to
that state.
Another, Lawyer Arrives.
The arrival 'hero of W. A. Blakely,
formerly district attorney of Pitts
burgh, to aid Thaw in his fight for
freedom, following closely W. A. Stone,
once governor of Pennsylvania, has
given rise to tho belief that there is
something on foot to get Thaw into
Pennsylvania. Thaw expressed regret
that he had not proceeded to Penn
sylvania Instead of coming to Canada.
All of the Thaw family seem to feel
confident that once they get Stnnford
White's slayer in that state ho will
go free.
Tho Immigration agents reiterated
to the representatives of Now York
that they will turn Thaw over to Ver
mont as soon as they get possession
of him, which they believe will bo on
Wcdnesdny, but the additional coun
sel Thaw has enlisted has made
Messrs. Kennedy and Conger wnry of
any move that may bo made by
Thaw's attorneys. He has no less than
eleven legal representatives here, and
none has yet been able to compel him
to follow their Instructions, nowever.
they hope that Mr. Stone may Induce
him to see tho folly of talking.
Passed Sleepless Night,
Thaw- passed a sleepless night nnd
showed tho effects of It when ho mnde
his appearance at tho cell door. He
had been depressed by tho announce
ment that he was to be turned over
to Vermont and that state had promis
ed Acting Governor Glynn It would
Immediately extradite him to New
York.
So grave wns his condition that it
was necessary to send for Dr. G. L.
Hume, one of tho physicians employ
ed to see him by Dr. Britton G. Evans,
tho New Jersey alienist, before he left
hero last week.
"I feel rotten," he said. "Some
how I can't sleep." Casting himself
wearily Into a chnlr ho said with a
yawn, "Well, I faced the electric, chair
twice, so I supposo I should worry If
I have to go back to Matteawnn. I
haven't any fear of anything," he add
ed, rising Impatiently.
'It might have been bettor if I had
gone to tho chair. Then all my trou
bles would hnvo been ended, nnd It
wouldn't bo a caso of fight, fight fight
But I'll get free. I'll get my liberty.
I may bo an old man. but get It I
will.'
Talking Too Much
When Thaw's array of counsel read
tho statements Thaw had mado in
which ho declared that Stanford
White's friends wero persecuting
him, also that ho and his family had
forced D. Amos T. Baker out as tho
head of Matteawnn, they threw up
their hands and said that ho was tnlkv

tun minutes without realizing that he
Is anxious to tell every detail. In fact,
ho lias said that he may give out the
statement today or tomorrow. How
ever, It is thought Mr. Stone will pre
vent that. -'
The governor said that ho received
a message from Thaw Inst Friday
while lie was In his summer camp in
the mountains of Pennsylvania nnd
came hero ns soon as ho could. Ho ns.
sorted he know nothing ns yet lir re
gard to the legal question nt Issue
When nsked If a legal attempt would

vania, where the prisoner desires so
much to go, ho refused to answer.
Alienist Asserts Thaw Is Sane.
Sherbrooke. Quo.. Aug. 2.". That
Harry K. Thaw's attorneys nro pro
paring to prove him sane In either he
Cnnndinn or Pennsylvania courts Is
shown In the statement made by Dr.
G. S. Hume of this city, who was
designated ns a physician for Thaw
by Dr. Britton D. Evnns. tho Now Jer
sey alienist. 'Dr Hume declares that
Thaw is sane.
This was the third time he had ex
amined Thaw. He asserts that Thaw's
wonderful memory and his nccurate
knowledge of law and medicine sat
isfies him that Thnw is sane.
Thaw Drives Man Insane.

largor of Kerrtown. near Mondville.

HUERTAT0 DECIDE HIS OWN FATE
Little Hope Expressed That Mexican
President Will Yield.
Washington, Aug. 25. The Mexican
situation, as viewed by United States
plTiclnls, wll be af Its crisis today or
tomorrow. They believe that unless
President Huerta accepts the Ameri
can mediation proposals Involving his
retirement from office tho negotiations
to all practical effects will be terminat
ed! A high official of the administra
tion put It this way:
Provisional President Huerta has until
Tuesday to accept our plan.
Unless Huerta does give In to the
American demands before President
Wilson begins his address to congress
at noon on Tuesday there is now little
hope amgjiKofllcInls that he will yield
at all or that the present revolution in
tho southern republic will bo settled
peaceably through the good offices of
the United States.
Should Huerta maintain until Tues
day noon his policy of flatly demand
ing recognition by tho United Stntes
nnd flatly refusing any suggestions
not predicted upon this, President Wil
son will give to tho joint session of tho
house and the senate all the Informa
tion on the situation and his own
views as to the duties which devolve
upon the United States.
President Wilson has completed and
discussed with Secretary of State
Bryan the first draft of this address.
Tho president and Secretary Bryan
have, however, kept to themselves the
character of the views to be expressed
In congress.

"HILLY, THE KID."
Of the many successes in dramatic
plays which have been produced the
past six years, those with, their
scenes laid In tho western country
have appeared to have appealed more
strongly to tho fancy of theatre
goers. One of the best of theso is
"Billy, The Kid," with its ) scenes
placed In the great Southwest, near
the Mexican border, and It Is said
to tell a story that appeals to all
classes of amusement lovers. The
plot Is well conceived, there aro
Innumerable strong dramatic situa
tions and there Is plenty of comedy.
Some of the scenes are said to be
especially realistic and the produc
tion on a very elaborate scale.

"A NO. 1," THE FAMOUS ROVER.
Now Claimed the Fellow is ISeing
Sought for by "Uncle Sam."
The Susquehanna (Pa.) Transcript
has the following regarding "A. No.
1," the famous tramp, who visited
this city on several occasions and 'has
acquaintances here among some of
the best people:
Tramp "A. No. 1," known to fame
for his life work of sending home
boys who start on tha road, has, It Is
claimed, offended the law. It isn't
usual for "A. No. 1" to transgress
the law. He never did when he was
in Susquehanna, and he has been
here, often in his peregrinations of
500,000 miles or more during his
unique career.
Perhaps he really didn't know that
he was offending the law when he
placed his "moniker" on the Hart
ford, Conn., post office building, but
Uncle Sam is strict about such things
and the federal authorities at Hart
ford are looking for him.
"A No. 1" is a tramp, but he has
always kept within the law. He has
respect of police, railroad detectives,
town constables, and what William
Allen White calls "the authorities
everywhere."
Sitting in the shade of water
tanks along the steel ways or beside
bridges and fences, "A No. 1" has
perused literature. He has read and
he has written. Ho has written at
least one book a year, giving Inti
mate pictures of tramp life.
The proceeds of theso books the
tramp puts to good use. Many a boy
with the wanderlust strong within
him has been turned back from the
road by "A No. 1." That is the life
work that "A No. lhas chosen. He
watches for lads that leave home
and he tells them the real truth
about the road that seemed so fair
to them. And if they have no money
he shares his own with them and
sends them back to their mothers.
Ho has traveled half a million
miles at an expense of ?7.G1, it is
said. Not long ago he was In Sus
quehanna and railroad men here
treated him well.
Everywhere he goes he puts his
cabalistic 1'moniker." This is a cus
tom with him, a sacred rite, but
when It comes to putting such a
mark on Uncle Sam's official build
ing It Is an offense. So "A No. 1"
has. committed tho first crime that
he has been known to commit.
That snlittinrr Headache will
get almost instant relief if you
take a Neura Powder, io and
25 cts. Sold everywhere.
