Impeachment Vote
" "?
Baton Rouge, Lh., April 6.?Huey
P. Iiong, governor of^the State of
Louisiana, was impeached today by
the l/ouitiiana House of Representative#
amid a scene of great disorder.
The Senate was notified formally
and late today the upper body resolved
itself into a court of impeachment
to bring the governor to trial.
The governor was indicted by the
House on one of ID charge# in the
impeachment resolution and the
House planned to consider its consideration
next wt'ek into the other
charges.
By a vote of 58 to 40, the House
handed down an indictment charging
the governor with attempting to sup*
press the freedom of the press,
specifically by threatening Charles P. I
IManship, Baton Rouge publisher, with
public exposure of the fact that the
! publisher's brother was an inmate in
the insane asylum unless he stopped
an editorial uttqck upon-the governor's
proposed tax on oil.
The vote was taken during a storm
! on the floor where the governor's
supporters sought to push hack the
inevitable impeachment. They yelled
and pushed about the floor, resorted
to all forms'of legislative maneuvers
to cfiCtk the vote but advocates of
impeachment had the situation in
hand and forced over the roll call.
During the riotous session of the
House, Governor Long sat with a.few
close friends in his office directly
under the House chamber and to inquiry
sent hack the message:
"1 have nothing to say."
After the vote, one of the floor
leaders, Representative McClanahan,
of Caldwell, sought ty do his fighting
with his fists", and turned on Repre1
sentative Woods, of New Orleans.
! Members rushed in between them,
showing the Caldwell representative
hdck'as he shouted:
"I am tired of being insulted by
this little rat." ,
A few moments before the ? vote
was ordered, Representative Delesxlexnier,
of Plaquemines,,. ( a small,
excitable man, rushed before'the loud
speaker microphone in the front of
the chamber, and in a voice trefhbling
with passion began an address in
which he sought to compare the drive
against Governor Long with that on
the crucifixion upon the cross.
A member sought to stop him on
the point of sacriligious utterances,
and during the excitement, the
Plaquemines representative screamed:
I "Take my life but spare me my
privilege."
I He collapsed in a heap at the foot
of the microphone, and "* members
rushed to hi9 aid, throwing a glAgs of
water in his face and lifting him to
a chair, where hg was fanned. A
member physician examined him and
announced his pulse was normal. He
quickly revived and recorded his vote,
i At the afternoon session the Senate
and House succeeded in appropriating
$100,000 to defray the coat
of the impeachment trial.

Washington, April 8.?Enforcement

machinery under the treasury
department, made public statistics
showing that prohibition agents "had
killed a total of 135 persons in enforcing

I been slain in the line of duty,
i During the last 15 months five

Mills that in the last 15 months 16
persons had been killed, 11 by prohibition
agents and five by coast
guardsmen. In that time seven prohibition
agents and two customs inspectors
were slain while performing
their work.
George M. Pritchard, Republican,
representative from th?- 10th North

secretary in Washington, to the effect
that I.l does not propose to have his
office in the house office building assigned
to him next to Representative

Substitute For Cotton
Found in Old World
< vWashington,
March 28. ? Cotton
producers should give immediate and
careful consideration to a situation
that may mean the ri^in of this industry
and the consequent abandonment
of acres of land used now for
cotton growing. This is the odd an*
nt uncement from l>ondon that a
practical cotton substitute has been
found abroad. At least the . partial
significance of this information may
be' seen from the following editorials
in the Washington Post yesterday.v'
'Considerable interest attaches to
the announcement in London that
American buyers have entered the
market for artificial cotton manufactured
from a South American
plant, which is being developed by
Dr. C. J. Hedley-Thornton. Until now.
the American cotton interests have
been skeptical of the economic value
of the plant. The fuet that Americans
may have entered the artificial cotton
market may presage development
of this new filrer root in the United
States.
"The London dispatch says that
Doctor Hedley-Thornton's corporation
has orders for 1,000,000,000 pounds
of artificial cotton and that it ia
completing arrangements to Host subsidiary
companies to grow and market
the product in Holland, Switzerland,
Italy, Czecho-Slovakia and Romania.
The plant grows prolificdlly in all
of these countries in soil that is unsuitable
to most crops. It is reported
to be much hardier than the cotton
plant, is not subject to the boll
weevil, and costs less to grow and
harvest than cotton. It can be
handled by cotton-spinning machinery.
"England is expected to have a
commercial supply of the new fiber
this summer and if the advantages
of the substitute are as great as reported,
the prediction in other countries
which now import cotton will
develop rapidly. - It appears that- a
period of stiff competition against
American cotton lies just ahead.
"It may be found practical to grow
the substitute on much of the land
that is now devoted to cotton in the
South. 0And since the plant will
thrive in temperate climates, cotton
fields may develop in the northern
and Western states. Much land that
is now unproductive might be put to
work growing the substitute plant,
and valuable cotton land could be
used for more profitable crops."

Migratory BiFace
Many Per Us in Flight
(Kleanor Duvies in Our Dumb
Animals)
-The passing of a bill by the
American Government for the protection
of migratory birds, under'
which eight million dollar^ js to be
spent during the next ten years, is
indeed welcome news to every bird
lover, on account of its sentimental
and practical value.
Few people Realise the grave perils
to which migratory birds expose
themselves during their (lights from
summer to" winter quarters or vice
versa. At no other period of their
existence do they run greater risks.
If caught by wind or thunder storm,
while crossing the sea, whole (lights
m^y be driven off their course,
beaten down and drownwi.
It is one of the wonders of nuture,
how tiny birds are able to stand the
strain of .migration. Small birds,
like the tiny gold-crest, weighing
barely half an ounce, manage to cross
at one flight the whole breadth of the
North Sea, which is 350 miles across.
It is evident, therefore, if the weather
conditions are not perfect, that such
tiny wing-power takes grave risk.
Mother nature is no respecter of
persons, and is not one scrap more
lenient toward bird flyers than human
flyers. Both cast a main with fate.
Bird land has its. murderers like all
other lands. Migratory birds have
to contend with enemies in their own
household. Birds of prey" destroy
imm numbers of them, when
they are tired by long Mights.
(.lulls are savage enemies to
migrant birds. That tact is not
generally known though natural; Th
gull is a maritime bird and instinctively
protects its domain. When migrants
are hindered by winds, they
are pursued and attacked by seagulls
who stnk?* them down, then devoui
tiiem at leisure.
Migratory birds have their pre.
cautionary measures. Those whh a
cfcnnot out My t heir enemies by day
outwit them by (lying at. night.
--Blackbirds,?larks and other*?^rird?
migrate at night. And, if condition*
are favorable, usually complete theii
whole llight before dawn.
The greatest perils of the migrant
birds come from civilized man, whe
often takes unfair advantage of them
In many countries a remunerative
business is made of trapping 01
shooting them, when they arrive worr
out by their long journey.
In addition to this, aviation with its
airplane beacons has added anothei
source of peril. The installation oJ
41 r beacons like that of the Hote
Beacoh, Broadway, New York City,
with its twelve hundred millions!
candle-power, and that of Mont,
Africque in Central France, with its
one thousand millions candle-power,
is welcomed gladly by airmen, yet|
Is looked upon with horror by bird
lovers. These fieac-ons and others
which will he installed*- will make
aviation safer but are bound to work;
havoc among the great. Mights ofi
migrant birds. The Mont Africque
Ix'Heon stands in the very path of the
Mights that cross France in tho
autumn.
It is a proved fact that the deathroll
from this cause is very serious.
In a hook on the migration of birds
in Ireland, by Mr. K. M. Burlington,'
, there is a note inserted by the keepers
of the Cp pel and lighthouse, relating
to the spring migration of
birds. "The air," states the report,
"was tilled with birds. The balcony
i
outside and light was completely
covered with dead birds. They were
five and syc deep all round, so that
one walked upon a eathery carpet of
, dead bodies."
With the increased protection for
airmen Lhere_ comes to migratory
, birds increased danger. The birds,
. are attructed to the air beacon as the
j moth to the flame to perish. As one
t type of Myer increases ^another decreases.
Must it be so; is there no
way of protecting both?

Twenty-seven baseball players of
i Cornell university, were more or less
I injured last Thursday night when the
' bus they were riding in plunged over
an embankment between Richmond,
ljVa., and Wasnington.
Owning u Home
Ownership of a home is u highly
desirable thing. Countless thousands
of Americans have felt that they
could not begin to feel really contented
until theg were living in a
place of their ownT
In planning on a home of your
own, however, it. might be well to pay
a little heed to a bit of advice issued
by the National. Lumber Manufacturer's
association. Emphasizing the
importance of using good materials
in building a house, the association
points out that contentment is hard
to attain in a house where the roof
leaks, Hours -creak, plaster crumbles
j and cracks on walls and ceiling, windows
stick and refuse to open and
doors lit so poorly that there are always
draughts of cold air in the living
quarters
Those are the things one gets in a
shoddily constructed house. When
you plan a home, make sure that the
materials used are the best. Trying
to save money in that matter is false
economy. Cl
