ALBANY, Sept. IS Governor Sui
ter was placed on trlul before the Im
peachment court of the mate legisla
ture, comprising &7 members not In
cluding two absentee, today when
JSenator Wagner called the court to
order In the senate chamber at 11:50
o'clock this morning.
At 12:55 o'clock, the court ad
journed haying transuded no busi
ness beyond swearing in the mem
bers. Governor Sulzer did not appear In
the chamber. He was represented by
un Imposing array of counsel.
Sulzcr'g attorneys announced they
were present to "object to the Jurls-
diction of the high court and it
membership" but It Is expected the
objection will not be sustained. Tho
Ocfense believe, however, that by forc
ing a vote, the supporters of Sulzer
will be able to form an Idea of the at
titude of the Justices of the court of
appeals who are included as members
of the Impeachment court. A ma
jority vote will decide every question
except that of Impeachment which
will require a two-thirds vote.
Members Arc- Hostile. .
' There Is no question but that the
majority of the members of the court
are hostile to Sulzcr. Friends of tho
governor, however, do not believo that
the hostile members will amount to
two-thirds.
Having registered their objections to
the court as a whole, K ulcer's attor
neys next objected to swearing In
Senators Wagner, Frawley, HamBh-
pcrger, and Sanner on the grounds
that they prepared tho impeachment
case and therefore are prejudiced.
Counsel for Sulzer hud a lengthy
brief ready to submit In support of
their contentions but Chief Justice
Cullen of the court of appeals cut
the discussion short by saying that
both objections would be considered
later.
The prooeedlngs of the court were
of 'tho most Impressive and solemn
nature.
The members were sworn In In
dividually. SCHOOL BOARD MAY
SELL TEXT BOOKS
AT COST PRICES
Ab a result of complaints thit hav
arisen this year In connection vith
the change of text books In the pub
lic schools it la possible that utter
tli lb j ear the text books for tiie In the
local schools may be supplied .o the
iuplls direct by the school hoard ct
cost prices. This provided it Is found
the board has power to engage In such
business.
Although It Is recognized that the
margin of profit on text books Is
small there has been much complaint
this year because of the necessity of
buying new books. In many cases the
cost has fallen heavily on people and
the school board has come In for Its
full share of criticism despite the fact
the board has nothing to do with the
question ns to what text books shall
be used here.
Another source of complaint Is tlifit
the local book store handling the text
looks does not secure a sufficient sup
ply. It is charged that often the store
, will not secure enough books to sup
ply a clnsft and that as a result some
of the students havo to go for weeks
without books to the disadvantage of
themselves, their teachers and to Iobs
of efficiency In the school work.
This difficulty In securing books
wanted Is causing much of the senti
ment In behalf of hav'ng the school
board handle the text book business.
. "I believe we should be able to get
the books sent us on consignment so
thut we could return tho books we
. do not need," said an Influential mem
ber of the board today. "If so we
would never have trouble supplying
--all the books needed and the margin
of profit, whatever It may be, could
he given to the pupils In lower
prices."
Thus far the subject has not been
taken up officially by the board but If
present complaints continue to roll In
, there Is a probability of steps being
taken in this direction before next
full.

. of the things in the new
bill which will redound to
neflt of the farmers in the
i fest. In the opinion of
Chamberlain, is the re-
"nuctlon in the duty on burlap
bags. '
This question was very ' care-
fully considered by the demo-
crau of the senate, and the sub-
Ject was studied In all of its
bearings. India has a monopoly
on the production of burlap, and
and It was decided that to re-
move entirely the duty on the
manufactured bags would give
India a monopoly also on the
bags. The decision reached
was to reduce the duty on bags
and to put the raw material on
the free list, giving our manu-
facturers the fullest advantage
in this respect but maintaining
sufficient duty on their finished
product to give them an advan-
tage in competition with manu-
facturers in India or other coun-
tries where labor Is cheap.
"This policy," said Senator
Chamberlain, in discussing this
Item in the tariff bill, 'w'ill help
the farmers, while Calcutta Is
deprived of the chance to main-
tain a mondpoly. and moreover,
It cannot raise the price to us.
At the same time, we have so
framed the tariff, we think, as
to avoid crushing out the Am-
erica n manufacturers of bags.
"The duty, as will be seen, is
really In the Interest of the far-
4 mers, for the natural result of 4
destroying our own Industry and
giving India a monopoly, would
he to allow India to fix its own 4
prices on bags we might need,
4 -Juit as soon as It had killed out
all competition. At the same
time the importations will
steady prices here, and ' there
will be enough bags Imported so
that the receipts from the tar-
iff will form a substantial reve-
nue."
