MAY REACH DECISION TODAY Ail Future Deliberations Will be Held in Secret is the Prevailing Idea in Albany Public Will Get Result Only. Albany, N. Y., Oct. 13. The high court of impeachment which is to de cide the fate of Governor William Sul zer failed today to reach a verdict, i After a session of an hour and a hal-, virtually all of which was held in secret, the court unexpectedly ad journed until 11:30 tomorrow to per mit further argument by counsel rela tive to the testimony of Allan A. Ry an. Ambassador Henry Morgenthau and Duncan W. Peck, superintendent of public works. ' - This testimony had to do with al leged efforts of Governor' Sulzer to suppress evidence against him and to obtain political influence to stop the trial. The offenses alleged in this con nection were not specified in the arti cles of impeachment and upon the convening of court today, Judge Mil ler of the Court of Appeals raised the question, as to whether they fitted in. The executive session at once follow ed. - . '. " When the public again was admit ted, it was announced , by Presiding Judge Cullen that the court desired counsel to argue as to whether the acts and conversations of the Govern or testified to by Peck, Morgenthau and Ryan "can be considered as being casts of misconduct iior which the res pondent can be convicted under arti cle "4, or only as corroborative evi dence of the other allegations stated in the charges, and whether the court has the power to amend the articles if they are insufficient to include those acts so as to 4n.clude them.": ; ; Suppression of Evidence. Article 4. is the1 one. dealing with the supprog&iDs:!NDt&t3Ieaee alleging that the Governor tried to prevent Frederick L. Col well, Iuis A. Sar ecky and Melville B. Fuller from testifying before the Frawley- investigating com ii'Ktee. It mentions neither Ryan, .Morgenthau, nor Peck, but does in clude in its text the words "all other persons." - The testimony of none of these wit nesses was disputed by the defense as :ar as contradictory evidence was con cerned, and for that" reason is held to be considered by some of -the mem bers of the court the strongest adduc ed in proof of the Governor's alleged unfitness to hold office. In view of the fact that each of the eight articles is to be voted on separately, it was found that when the members of the court were ready to convene that there was much doubt as to under which article the testimony should be considered. - . It was said furthermore, that some or the members felt that-in the event that the court should grant the as yet undecided motion to strike out arti cles 1. 2 and 6, the "money articles" on the constitutional ground that they dealt with offenses committed before the Governor took office, practically little would be left of the case. They thought it was desirable, therefore, it was said, either to streng then article 4 by including the Ryan, Morgenthau, Peck charges or to set them apart as an additional article. , The opening of court was delayed more than half an hour on account of a conference of the nine judges of the ' o.irt of Appeals. It was said thatl the Ryan-Morganthau-Peek testimony vas the principal subject of their dis cussion. - " Debates Announced. It was announced by counsel that former Senator Brackett and John B. Stanchfield would argue the question for the impeachment managers and B. ('ady Herrick and Louis Marshall for ;h.e defense. The general belief to night seemed to be that all delibera tions of the court henceforth would be j n secret and that the public would only know the result. Tais was a rainy, gloomy day and; superstitious persons who recalled it j 'as the 13th day of the monthsawj all sorts of illusions -in its being the; conclusion of the evidence today. The hour of re-convening of the im-1 peachment court tomorrow was set an! i our and a1 half later than usual in order that the Senatorial members of the court might attend the session f-f the Legislature set for 11 o'clock.

"A GIRL WITH ONE STOCKING" The South Carolina "Pitchfork" Digs in Old Records and Finds Both : Art and Poetry With Which He Bedecks Record. Washington, Oct. 13.

The classic went on to tell that "where e'er the poor girl went, one leg was warmed with wool and . one with 56 per cent." "Now with free wool," said Senator Tillman, "Mary will have to let her women friends wear , stockings on both legs, instead of one something they have not been able to do in 20 years." '. CHANGE IN COMMISSION. Chas. A. Prouty, Republican, Resigns , to Take Other Work. Washington, Oct. 13. Charles A. Prouty will retire in the near future as a member of the Inter-State' Com merce Commission to become director-of the physical . valuation of rail ways. No formal announcement has been made, but arrangements for the chang es have been completed with the Inter-State C6mmerce Commission and with President Wilson, with whom Judge Prouty had a conference today. Commissioner routy nas . oeen a member of the commission since De cember, 1896. When legislation was enacted pro viding for the physical valuation of railways the commission , selected Judge Prouty to have general charge nf the work. It became evident that it would be practically impossible for him to continue his labors as a mem ber of the commission and give, at the same time adequate attention to the infinite details of the railway valu ation work. Commissioner Prouty s retirement nrnhahiv will be about November 1st. That will make two vacancies on the commission for President wnson to fill this year. The term of Commis sioner Judson C. Clements, of Georgia, will expire in December. Generally, it is expected that he will be re-appointed by President Wilson. He Is a 'Democrat. . , . Judge Prouty is a resident or xew- port, Vt., and a Republican. LIMIT TO CAMPAIGNING. Money for Political Purposes Cannot be secretty nanoiea. WaKhinemi. Oct. 13.

RESCUED TELL OF BURNING VESSEL Carmania With One of Vol turno's Pas engers Aboard Reaches Port POURED OIL ON TROUBLED SEIW REVISE : PU BOOK Eleven Vessels Stood by Powerless to Help Distressed Slhip Until Nar ragansett Arrived and Spray- ed Waters With Oil. Fish Guard, Oct. 13. The Carmania, first to the aid of the doomed steamer Volturno, arrived here shortly after 2 o'clock this morning. Capt. Barr positively refused to say a word about the Volturno until he had delivered his report to the compa ny at Liverpool. He referred N would-be interviewers to the ship's bulletin for an accurate account of the tragedy: The greater part of the contents of this already had become history. The fire on the Volturno appears to have originated in her cargo hold. When it became - evident that the flames had gained the mastery, Capt Francis Inch devoted all his energy t6 the salvation of his passengers. : Balked in his attempts to establish communication between the Carmania and the Volturno, Capt. Barr sent out broadcast wireless signals which brought to the vicinity, an internation al fleet to the succor of the doomed ship. At1 about 7 o'clock in the evening, Capt. Inch succeeded in lowering a boat with a crew of .four men with the intention of taking a line-to the Gros ser Kurtuerst. The small boat, after a desperate struggle, reached the German liner's side only to be dashed to pieces. About half ,past nine at night, Capt. Inch sent a last despairing appeal and 20 minutes later there occurred a terrific explosion which it seemed would seal the doom pf those on' thev stricken ship. . -j -; - .' - .,... . .Sea Moderated. After, the. rescue , of Walter Trinte pohl, the only survivor taKen on board the i, Carmania, hope of saving any more of those in the VolturnoT had been almost abandoned when the sea suddenly moderated and the rescuing ships were able to get away a num ber f life boats and take off all the survivors. T. T. Watson, of Philadelphia, a passenger of the Carmania, said that the ..chief credit for saving those on the Volturno was undoubtedly due to the oil -ship Narragansett. "Only a few good swimmers," he declared, "would have survived from the ill-fated ship had not the Narragansett made free "use of oil to calm the terrible waves. "When the Cigrtnania arrived, Capt. Barr, with a daring amounting seem ingly to foolhardiness, instructed First Officer Gardiner to lower a small boat. This, after terrible buffeting, regained the Carmania with only three oars in tact. After this miraculous ' escape Capt.' Barr did not again attempt to launch a single boat. Hence our ship saved only one passenger, who swam to her. "Capt. Barr stood off and directed operations, acting in effect as com mander" of the fleet gathered about the Volturno. The Carmania tried both fore and aft oil sprays but with out effect. The captain sent out wire less calls in all directions ,for an oil ship and his efforts were rewarded by an answer from the Narragansett. "As soon as the Narragansett began to spray oil about the doomed ship the waves subsided as by magic. Soon (Continued on Page Two.Y C. A. Webb Slated For Marshalship (Special Star Telegram.) Washington, D. C, Oct. 13; Should Senator Overman appoint "Charles A Webb,- United States marshal for the Western district, he will offer Man ley McDowell, of Morganton, a posi tion in the government service paying him in the : neighborhood of $300 per month. This statement was made tonight by Senator Overman when questioned with reference to, the Western ap pointments. . Senator Overman did not say that he would not give Mr. Mc Dowell "the marshalship, but it is gen erally understood here that Chairman Webb will be offered this place, and in that event McDowlell will be taken care of in a. way which it is believed will be entirely, satisfactory to him. - Two -vacancies on the. Inter-State Commerce Commission within - : the next six months are in. prospect. The first occurs December 31st, when the term ; of Commissioner Clements.- of Georgia, j expires. The second place soon to be open is that held, by Chas. A. Pouty.of Vermont. The latter's term t does, not expire until 1914, but he desires to retire earlier. Commissioner Clements is 67 years old and has served upon the commis sion since 1892. He will be a candi date for re-appointment. But it will be argued that his age should pre vent his re-appointment to another seven-year term. A rumor is going about tonight that Charles A. Webb, of Asheville, is a candidate,, along with Former Gover nor Glenn, for one of the places.

Young Lady Makes Unique Offer of Self to Go as Mrssidnary-'-Aux-iliary Vote to Accept Her Offer Debate;- New York. Oct. 13. The suggestion that the corporate name-of the Protes tant Episcopal church be changed to the Americaa; Catholic church precipi tated a long; debate' today-at the gen eral convention of the, church. At the instance of the high church delegates it was voted fey the House of Deputies to appoint a, commission ts revise the Prayer Bo okbut before-this decision was reached the low: church delegates had succeeded in having restricting amendments made' to the resolution that authorized appointfent of the commission. The resolution to "revise and en rich" the boog of common prayer was offered by the diocese .of California, and the missionary district of Arizona. Dr. Randolph H. McKim, of Washing ton, a low church leader, offered an amendment reading, "provided that no proposals to change the title page of the prayer book or the name of the church shall be referred to said com mission. By a vote of 257 to 197 the amendment was defeated. "- Dr. Edward L. Goodwin of Virginia, offered an amendment: . ; "Provided ' that no proposition in volving the faith and doctrine of the church shall be considered or reported UDon by the commission." ... Dr. Leighton Parks, of -New York, while speaking of the apparent effort being made to change the jiame or tne church was hissed "well some of us believe,": he said, "that if you take away tjie" protestantcuaracter of this church, yotr roD icroi agreat treas ure." Dr. Goodwin's amendment was car ried by acclamation. Amendment Too Broad.. Judge James McConnelL of New-Orleans, declared that Dr. Goodwin's amendment was so broad in scope that it still left the way open for the com mission to make a decision on the change of name that would stand for the whole house. The house then re considered the MeKim resolution it has voted down, and proceeded to pass the resolution with both amendments. The women's auxiliary of the board of mission at a "meeting tonight- de cided how to apportion the $307,000 it has collected. All but $20,000 will be devoted to home and foreikn missions. The auxiliary voted to accept the offer, made in a unique manner, of Miss Virginia Taylor Singleton, of South Carolina, to devote herself to ther cause of forelKn missions. Last Thursday when this year's united of fering for the women's auxiliary was being taken, Miss Singleton- left a plain envelope among the checks.gold and bills in the alms basin. A mes sage in the envelope read: -Silver and .gold have I none, in the words of St. Peter; "such as 1 have I give ueto thee" followed by Miss Singleton's offer to work In the mission field. A sweeniner denunciation: of the present system of divorce reached the House of Deputies today in a resolu tion introduced by Kev. c. b J.:wrig- ley, of the diocese of Long Island. The resolution asked the convention, to express its . sympathy, with the effort of the international committee on marriage and divorce which is trying to. have the constitution of the United States amended, to enable Congress to enact; uniform marriage and divorce laws. After a long -debate the House of Bishops this afternoon decided by a narrow margin not to open its ses sions to the public. The vote against the proposition was 54 to 49. San Antonio.

NATIONAL BANKS WILL HOI HOLD OUT So Declared Secretary McfV doo to Delegation of Country Bankers WANTS CURRENCY BILL RUSHED Denounced as Traitorous Report That Government Two Per cent Bonds Had Reached a Danger ous Point. Washington, Oct. 13. "I have no more idea that any considerable num ber of National banks will refuse to go into the new Federal Reserve System than I have that I shall fly over the Washington, monument," said Secre tary McAdoo today in discussing the Administration Currency bill with :a delegation of country bankers from the American Bankers' Association here today in conference with the Sen ate Finance committee. " The committee of callers plied Mr.1 McAdoo with questions about the cir culating privilege, the re-discounting provisions and other parts of the pending bill. The Secretary said that while he had - been giving bankers las a class right-of-way in his office with a view to learning their views and getting information, the bill had been framed with a view to benefitting all classes of people. : "If we wait until every body gets together on a measure," he added, "we never will have a begin ning on -currency legislation." . : Denouncing as traitorous reports that the government .2 per cent bonds had reached a danger point when at 94, Mr. McAdoo said that while the government could not guarantee pric es of its bonds there was nothing to impair their value and the govern ment's faith was back of them. He added that he regarded the bonds a good investment. "Ledger the Currency Bill." ' The Secretary advised the bankers to "ledger the currency bill" and add-: ed that in thus figuring out both, sides tbey would find the -balance in- fa,vpr of the bill. - a- : ; - The bankers wanted some provision"; tor retiring tne z per cent Donas-an which the present currency is cased. They suggested refunding- by higher interest-paying bonds or retirement at not less than par. The provision to force National banks maintaining savings' depart ments to segregate a portion of their assets for that purpose and Invest sav ings deposits in. special kinds of se curities was attacked. The bankers also declared that the function given the Federal reserve banks under the bill of acting free of charge as a clear ing house for checks of. member banks would deprive them of an im portant part of their profits, now de rived irom the collection irom out-oi-town checks. They also , urged that the bill be amended to allow them to carry a portion of their reserves pn the reserve city banks with which they now do business. S. D. Scudder, of Richmond, Va., who described himself as, an "insurg ent banker," endorsed the bill general ly, but recommended a-number of amendments. He thought there was no conspiracy against the bill at the Boston conference, but that support ers of the administration bill did not have an opportunity to prlsent their views. f ; - "There was no lack of good faith, he said.

Rival Candidates In Heated Debate Washington, Oct 13. -Representa tive Richmond Pearson Hobson and ins colleague, Majority Leader Under wood, engaged in va bitter , debate on the floor of the House today over the Senatorial contest . in their State, in which they are rival candidates. The oratorical duel was precipitated by Mr. Hobson reiterating utterances he made last week in a speech in Ala bama, intimating that Mr. Underwood was, the "tool of Wall Street and the liquor interests," and charging that he had sained Alabama's -support in the last Presidential campaign under false pretenses.- .
