RESUME INVESTIGATION OF IMPEACHMENT CHARGES AGAINST

UNITED STATES JUDGE COOPER Congressman LaGuardia, Complainant^ Must Stay Within Limits of His Resolu­tion, House Committee Rules-Liquor Purchased By Prohibition Agents Sold in This City, Administrator Testifies.

Resuming investigation of im­peachment charges against Federal Judge Frank Cooper of the North­ern New York District, the House Judiciary Committee at Washington today heard R. Q. Merrick of the prohibition unit explain under­cover operations in New York.

Impeachment of Cooper is being sought by Representative La-Guardla, Republican, New Tork. who alleges that ths Judge broke the law by conspiring with prohibi­tion agents to entrap law violators.

Chairman Graham, according to The Associated Press, said the com­mittee bad decided to require La-Guardla to stay strictly within the limits of his Impeaching resolution. LaGuardla said he was ready to show misconduct on Judge Cooper's part "entirely outside of prohibi­tion matters. I am prepared to show great abuse of power," he said, " and manifest unfitness for this of­fice."

Graham said the procedure would be decided when the situation arose.

Merrick's Testimony. Merrick testified while prohibi­

tion administrator for New York in 1924, he discussed prohibition mat­ters with Judge Cooper, who sug­gested Merrick attempt to get "hlgherups" in a bootleg ring flour­ishing in Northern New York.

Early in 1924 Judge Cooper told Msjrrlck, the witness testified, he was tired of imposing fines without apparent letup in violations and wanted to know why the "higher-ups" could not be arrested.

"I told him," Merrick said, "that I had had trouble with my agents, one of whom sold out to the boot­leggers. I said we could get funds from Washington, buy automobiles and buy and sell liquor as if osten­sibly bootleggers.

"X suggested ws go a step further and sell liquor to wholesalers and get them in that' way for conspir­acy."'

Judge Cooper approved this plan, Merrick testified, and be then went to Washington to get the approval of Prohibition Commissioner Haynes and other officers. They said the plan could be worked if Judge Coo­per would back them up.

Sold l a Troy.

The witness testified the plan then was set in motion and Merrick's agents, posing as bootleggers pur­chased Canadian ale a nd liquor and sold it "at a profit" in Troy and Al­bany.

Through these officers, Merrick said, nearly every large bootlegger was arrested and brought before Judge Cooper for trial.

Upon inquiry from Representative Dyer, Republican of Missouri. Mer­rick testified the plan was entirely his, own suggestion and was made to Judge Cooper because the jurist was anxious to get the "key men" in the bootleg ring.

Under cross examination by Ros-coe Irwin, counsel for Judge Cooper, Merrick testified that the only pur­pose of the undercover plan as agreed to between himself and the Judge, was "to meet a bad crime situation in northern New York."

He said he never discussed with Judge Cooper any details of the ar-irests resulting from the under-cover plan, before the cases were brought to trial.

NARROW ESCAPES AS FIRE DESTROYS

THE MYERS STORE Old Landmark in Hamlet of Quackenkill Is Burned to Ground —Occupants Forced to Flee in

Night Clothing—Nothing Saved.

The George D. Myers store and residence, an old landmark in the hamlet of Quackenkill, on the main highway between Cropseyville and Grafton, were burned to the ground late last right, while a large barn adjoining was also destroyed. The building was two stories of frame construction, erected nearly a cen­tury ago, and was known at various times as the Rock Hollow House, the Saratoga House and as the Myers store. The loss is placed at more than $5,000.

Narrow Escapes. Mr. Myers and his hired man were

asleep at the time the fire broke out—11 o'clock—and on being aroused by the crackling of the flames, were forced to flee in their night clothing and, even so, experi­enced narrow escapes from being trapped.

Mrs. Mye-s was fortunately saved from a similar experience by the fact that. she was spending the night with her daughter, Mrs. Ralph Carner, who resides a short distance from the store.

It Is believed the flre originated from a defective chimney.

Spectacular Blaze. The blaze was one of the most

spectacular ever witnessed In that section of the county and its reflec­tion in ths skies could b« seen for many miles around, being plainly visible from ths hill sections of Troy. Men of the neighborhood formed themselves into a bucket brigade, but their efforts wars of little avail, as the Are spread through ths old frame building with great rapidity. A call had been sent to the Eagle Mills Chemical Engine Company. but when ths firemen arrived the structure was doomed and no part of its furnishings could be saved. An automobile was removed from the barn.

Other Property Threatened. Nearby buildings were threatened

with destruction for a time from burning embers, but were saved by the close vigilance of the volunteer flr) fighters, State Troopers were sent to the scene and the men as­sisted In clearing away parts of the

The drama wus awarded the prize in the religious drama contest held on drama of tho Federal Council of Churches in 1926. The setting of the drama was in the time of the three prophets Amos, Isaiah and Hosea. Amos, the herds­man of Tekoa, was essentially of tho old dispensation, the very incarna­tion of the grim Mosaio code. He reveals clearly in his book that he frequently visited Samaria, where Hosea made his home, and their common -interests must have drawn them together. Isaiah was the modernist, herald of the social gospel, prophet of the love of God and the brotherhood of man. He was a mere youth when Hosea was in active ministry, and, until the epoch-making event of King rjsziah's death, unawakened to tho truth of God, but very curious and ardent about the deep things of re­ligion. He was a citizen of Jerusa­lem, but it Is quite In keeping with his character that on occasion he should havo Journeyed to Samaria to
