It's style that changes the seasons. Take time by the forelock and fatten your turkey. Our old friend CIpriano Castro has not revolted for three weeks. Less than a potentate than ever is Iteai.jl now that he Ii married. Tho next thing to claim attention will be the winter's supply of coal. They gave a tea party-aboard a Zeppelin airship the other day. No fatalities. Forest fires generally come when they are not needed for heating purposes. Who, looking upon the season's hats Hot 4nen, can doubt the fulness of per lonal liberty? Occasionally you meet a foreigner or a college professor who calls it "pumpkin" pie. "Germs can get into fresh eggs," declares a scientist. And they can also get into scientists. Wonder if the St. Louis debutante who sold wall paper knows how it seems to be a wallflower. Another thing to worry about! In 200,000 years the Big Dipper will be no more, so astronomers say. Possibly you are thinking of the feasibility of raising potatoes instead of grass on your lawns next year. Devotees of golf should frown upon those explosive balls. The language of the game is sufficiently explosive. Real language, boys, real language! Hearken to the sporting writer who refers to right field as "right plaisance." Twenty cen dinners caused the suicide of a Chicago girl. And the average man may say It was just cause. The nude in art is to be barred from the mails, but there is no indication that it will be barred fronf public discussion. Kansas City has been consuming a ton of bad eggs a day. That's enough to make any town wear a pained expression. One of these days medical science, in iti hunt for fads, will market a virus to Immunize the hungry against the ill effects of perfectly good oysters. ' Philadelphia designs to set wife deserters to crushing stone. The only objection the public is likely to make is that the work will not be hard enough. Since the golf championship has been wrested from England, poor old John Bull will probably recall that he really never did care for anything but cricket Gold output in the United States decreased $3,439,000 last year. This might bring prices down a little if the Rand did not keep on turning out a big production. Fame Is gained in many odd ways, but one of the queerest bids is that of an English coachman whose claim to have his name go thundering down the ages is based on the fact that this year ho has killed over 50,000 wasps. Although umbrellas were Invented In 1777, no one has found a corner where they might be placed in safety on a rainy day. The Pennsylvania telephone girl when told that she was heir to a large sum of money probably said, ''number, please." In seven years the Unit -id States government has inspected 377,000,000 .animals, not one of which appreciated the honor conferred. Again are the farmers in that smiling attitude, "you city guys can kid ui all ycu want to, but look at that 1913 crop's money bag." In time to come maybe a man with his family in his automobile will take the trouble to get out of the car at a railroad crossing and see whether a train is coming. According to a fashion note, women's dresses will be trimmed in fur this winter. And father's pocketbook will, however, continue to be trimmed in the same old style. Persons who travel In some coaches these days should not think too seriously about the good luck accompanying "touching wood." Still, that college professor who abandoned teaching to peddle popcora and hot dogs may be an exceptionally learned and humane person. A scientist predicts that the child of 2013 A.

COURT

OUSTS SULZER

EX-GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK BLAMES TAMMANY CHIEFDENIES ALL CHARGES. SAYS MURPHY WROTE VERDICT High Court of Impeachment by Vote of 43 to 12 Removes Executive Refusei to Bar Him From Holding Future Offices. Albany, N. Y., Oct. 18. William Sulzer, by a vote of 43 to 12, was removed from the office of governor of New York. Twenty minutes after he had been served with notice of his removal, he gave to the public a statement in which he denounced his trial as a lynching and declared that Charles F. Murphy was judge, jury and bailiff, and had written the verdict of the court. "Had I but served the 'boss with the zeal I did the state, William Sulzer would never have been impeached," was the keynote of- the statement. Sulzer asserts: That Murphy began war on him when he refused to call off tho investigation of graft by which the state had lost millions of dollars. That he did not appropriate campaign contributions to his own use. That he paid to campaign committees all of the money he collected. That he is poorer today than he ever was in his life. That he was in debt $70,000 when he became a candidate for governor. That Duncan W. Peck and Allen A. Ryan falsely testified against him. That the proceedings of the "court fere held in secret That he was lynched by an assembly and a senate controlled by Charles F. Mumhv. whom he charged with writing the ultimate verdict The former governor also declares his purpose to go on the lecture platform. At the time of the actual judgment Martin H. Glynn became governor by virtue of succession from the office of lieutenant-governor and Robert G. Wagner, president of the senate, became lieutenant-governor. Speculation as to what revelations. if any, William Sulzer will make when out of office took the place of the impeachment in the minds of the political workers. Will Take No Further Action. The indication was that no further action would be taken against the former governor unless he made such charges against Tammany workers as demanded a war of extermination. The conviction on the charge of perjury left an indictable offense fully sustained by the court of last resort and made the way easy for indictment if one were to be pressed. The court voted unanimously not to disqualify the governor from future offices of trust. "The respondent having been convicted," said Chief Judge Cullen, "of the first, second and fourth articles of the Impeachment, it now becomes necessary that the court should determine what the judgment that should be passed upon such conviction. Under the rules the first question is: "Shall the respondent be removed from office? "If there is no objection made the vote on that proposition will be taken in the same manner as the preceding votes, but, gentlemen, instead of say ing yes or no, you win please say whether you vote for removal from office or not. Not Guilty on-Article 5. The court voted Governor Sulzer unanimously not guilty on article 5. The article charged him with having prevented Frederick L. Colwell from testifying. Then article 6 was read and "Not guilty" voted in short order. The larceny charge had received its first blow at the very beginning of the court's work when Chief Judge Cullen stopped evidence bearing upon the question of larceny long enough to point out the legal shortcomings of the article. Articles 7 and S, charging that the governor used the authority and influence, of his office to effect legislation on his direct primary bill and other bills and with attempting to influence the prices of stocks on the New York stock exchange, were put through the same rapid-fire system of dismissal. The senators voted "Not guilty" just as fast as they could be called. "The respondent under the vote as announced by the clerk is acquitted as charged in the article," was the formal announcement of , Chief Judge Cullen, after the 57 votes were at each roll call reported by Clerk Patrick E. McCabe as "Not guilty." Governor William Sulzer was convicted by the high court of impeachment on three counts. The final, vote was 39 to IS. The court consisting of the state senate and the judges of the court of appeals, found the New York execu tive guilty of making a false campaign statement to the secretary of state, of converting campaign funds to his own use and of using his office to prevent the truth being brought out at the investigation. The governor was found not guilty of stock speculation. Rob Postoffice of $2,000. Memphis, Tenn., Oct 18. Yeggs blew the safe in a branch postoffice at Buntyn, a suburb of Memphis, and In G.

ENTIRE GERMAN ADMIRALTY TRIAL BOARD AMONG THOSE SLAIN BY AIRSHIP BLAST. THREE OTHERS DIE IN FALLS i t Baron Von Bleul, the Only Survivor, With Both Eyes Burned1 Out, Begs to Be Shot by Rescuers Official Witness Disaster. Berlin, Oct IS. Twenty-six aerial sailors and officers of the imperial ministry of marine were killed and four other men were fatally wounded when the new admiralty dirigible balloon L-2, the biggest airship in the world, exploded 3,000 feet above the Johannisthal aerodrome. The tragedy, following so closely after the loss of a sister airship, the L-1, which was wrecked over the North Sea in September with the loss o 13 lives, created consternation throughout Germany. Among the 30 persons on board tho dirigible were the admiralty trial board, headed by Commander Berniscbe, Commander Freye and Captain Gluten. The destruction of the L-2 leaves Germany without a naval aerial fleet. Being Tested by Admiralty Board. The airship was being tested preparatory to being taken over by the admiralty from her builders. An investigation showed the explosion was due to an electric spark igniting the benzine which was carried on board The victims were either burned to death or suffocated. So terrible were the injuries of the four wounded men that they begged to be shot. The commander of the airship. Captain Freye, was a former aide de camp to Prince Adalbert, son of Emperor William. The L-2 was equipped for war, carrying guns on board. Officials Witness Disaster. A number of government officials witnessed the disaster. Those who were watching the great cigar-shaped bag through long range field glasses saw a sudden puff of smoke, then the great frame of the balloon crumpled up. For a minute the wreckage buns suspended in midair, then began to fall. Gaining momentum every second, the wrecked dirigible fell like a shot and struck the earth with a crash that echoed throughout the big aero drome. While dropping pieces of wreckage and the bodies of some of the victims could be seen falling from the motors. The commander and members of the admiralty trial board were seated in the officers gondola. After the fire started they were caged inside a network of red-hot girders. Two of the crew still were alive when rescuers reached the wreckage. One of them, however, died before he was extricated. The other, Baron van Bleul, was fatally injured. Both his eyes were burned out. He urged the rescuers to kill him. Besides the officers men tioned Lieutenant Trenk, who was second in command, Chief Engineer Haussmann and three engineer secre taries from the admiralty board were killed. The tragic destruction of the dirigible L 2 had an echo in two aeroplane accidents in which three army men were killed and a fourth fatally hurt. At Genman, Ba varia, Lieutenant Koch's biplane was wrecked and the aviator and his pas senger were killed. At Schweintz. Prussia, Captain Haesseler was killed In an aeroplane crash and Lieutenant Von Freiburg mortally wounded. HUERTA REFUSES TO RESIGN Asserts "I Quit at Death or to Bear Gun to Exterminate the Rebels."
