years ago tne nana that guided the light became affected. Medical skill availed nothing and the. hand was amputated. Butthe ailment had one further, and a few years ago it was found necessary to remove his entire arm. Then it was believed that the disease was Dr.

Leonard arranged to resume his practice, but before the wounds had healed the disease spread over his body. At last he decided to go with his family to Atlantic City, in the hope, that sea air would restore him, but soon he became bedfast. Dr. Leonard's father. M.

Although his hand and arm were amputated, he died. Dr.

HIP RESEARCH MODER SCIENCE MARTY On Decision of Court on Present Legal Objections Depends Future ATTORNEYS WAIT STARTING SIGNAL Without Impeachment Articles Prosecution's Case is Weakened ALBANY, N.Y., Kept. 24. The Crucial mark in the Sulvier impeachment trial was reached today.

Attorney for both sides entered the court with knowledge that in the decision of tho court, on the legal objections now he-fore it, that of permitting the articles of impeachment 1 elating to the governor's deals entered into the testimony, depended the whole future of the prosecution. Without these articles of impeachment the first, the second and tho sixth, it was realized that the caso of the prosecution would be weakened immeasureably. Such a condition was not calculated to cause the assembly managers to abandon the prosecution, but was to prompt them to use every effort to obtain the passage of additional charges by the assembly to brace up their case. At all events the governor must go to trial. The attorneys await only the start'ng signal -the ruling on the cour' on the disputed articles.

Final decision on the defence's objections to including the "money article" of impeachment in the consider ation of the Hulzer case, will not be given until all testimony has been taken. The court voted 49 to 7 to follow this proceedure. Those voting were all Democrats. Governor Hulzer, in answer to the eight articles of impeachment filed with the court today, entered a general denial to each and every one of them. First Witness Called ALBANY, Sept.

24. At 2: IS o'clock today secretary of state Mitchell May was called to the stand and sworn as the first witness in the impeachment trial of Governor William Sulzer.

There are those in the legislature who declare that that speech delivered In the late hours last night marks a stage on the road of the Liberal government of Alberta which will have an eventual bearing upon that government's existence, which cannot be realized fully today. Speech by A. F. Ewing. Mr.

Ewing supposed he should commence his speech by tendering his thanks to the seconder of the motion before the house, which was in form and substance as well as in taste and judgment measured up to the best tradition of the office the duties of which he was fulfilling. But he regretted that he could not tender the same congratulations to the mover of that motion, whilst in form it was unexceptionable, its contents indicated that he was movi ig an address which would necessarily be opposed, and, therefore, considered it his duty not only to defend the address against anticipated criticisms, but indulged gratuitously in certain attacks upon the members of the opposition which they could not In justice to themselves pass without comment. Mr. Ewing was not surprisetLJp hear the member for Beaver River pay high tributes to the great Liberal party, but was surprised to hear him declare that the truth, the honor, the integrity and the purity of the Liberal party had always bound him to that party by indissoluble bonds.

Ewing remembered the election of 1S09, when thf member for Beaver River was a candidate in the constituency of St. Albert, in opposition to the recognized Liberal candidate, tho present member tor St. Albert.

'The statement was made in the house last night by Wilfrid Gar-iepy, member for Beaver River, that Dominion government officials appointed by the late Liberal administration at Ottawa and now employed in the provincial electoral riding of Peace River had been notified that unless they came out and worked for the Conservative candidate in the recent election they would be dismissed. "Challenged by members of the opposition, Mr. Gariepy offered to y-ive proof of his assertion. lie Said that his own brother, employed as assistant land office agent at Grande Prairie, had been approached, prior to the recent election, by emissaries of the department of interior at Ottawa and Informed that he must support the Conservative candidate in the Peace River election or he would lose his position.

"Suspension 3ridge" is Latest Type of Dance Hall Floor Spokane Hotel Boasts Novel Base for Freak Terpsi-chorean Effects SPOKANE, Sept. 23. A ballroom floor set on springs, effecting a "live" looting for terpsichorean effects, is being installed in the I 000 Davenport hotel being built by Spokane capitalists.

The ballroom on springs is the last word in building construction, and is said to lend a buoyancy and exhilaration to dancing that is impossible on the ordinary "dead" floor. The floor is suspended on resilient steel cables made of a special steel, and the general principle is along the line of the suspension bridge.

Though he is doing as well as can be expected, the doctors hold out little or no hope for his ultimate rceovery. I kutlthe Edmonton, delivered his first speech in ths legislature last night.

It is singular that a new member otherwise so unobtrusive in the house could have aroused such expectation as to what he might or might not have to say. But when he rose at a comparatively late hour in the evening, after the minister of agriculture had been one of the speakers in the debate adjourned over the dinner hour, barely a member was missing from his seat on the floor of the house, and the galleries eie crowded. Ths speech proved profoundly inter-thisi enting. Some of the oldest and mosj experienced legislators declared ii to be the best that has been delivered in this legislature others, criterion3 of Its parliamentary aspect, declared it to have been replete with the form and lTnnnnpi nf a finished parliamentary style. Although the speech included ineri-tion and discussion of various matters which had arisen in the course of the debate or are incidental to affairs in the province today, its power focuses in its sTilcnilid enunciation of the problem of of thu natural resources by this province.
