House Impeaches Sulzer
While Wife Takes Blame;
Still Clings to His Chair
Mrs, Sulzer Made Desperate
Effort to Save Her Husband
by Declaring That She Was
Responsible for It All
(By Associated Press.)
ALBANY. N. Y., Aug: 14.-—William
Sulzei, of New York state, was ira-
peacned today by the assembly. This ac
tion raised a vital question, as to
whether, under the constitution, the
governor must vacate otice pending
final adjudication of the impeachment
issue by the senate and the court of
appeals, sitting jointly as a trial court.
Indications are that he will contest
bitterly the theory of the opposition
that he becomes automatically barred
from exercising functions of the office
the moment the articles of impeachment
are formally presented to the senate
and that he will be disqualified from
resuming the duties of executive until
the court of impeachment fails to sus
tain these charges.
This afternoon, eight hours after as
sembly adopted the impeachment arti
cles, the governor had not announced
his Intention.
SMILES CHEERILY.
When Mr. Sulzer reached the capital
he smiled cheerily to correspondents
and posed for a battery of camera men.
“It’s a fine morning, gentlemen,” he
said.
Lieutenant Governor Martin H. Glynn
came into Albany from his summer
home during the forenoon and went to
his newspaper office as usual. He
declined to comment on the situation.
If Governor Sulzer is deposed, Mr.
Glynn will automatlally take his place
The fact that the various state de
partments and bureaus are divided in
their allegance to the executive and
the Democratic organization which is
seeking to depose him stimulates in
terest in the complicated situation. The
possibility of two men endeavoring to
discharge the functions of the chief
executive at the same time suggests a
chaotic condition that the courts alone
will have power to deal with.
Governor Sulzer according to a close
friend, already has drafted a letter em
bodying reasons for refusing to turn
over his office to Lieutenant Governor
Glynn in anticipation of such a demand
after the senate has received the arti
cles of imoeachment. The senate was
not expected to meet until late today.
ALL-NIGHT SESSION.
The vote of seventy-nine to forty-five
came after an all-night session and
after the governor’s wife had made an
eleventh hour effort to save him at the
risk of sacrificing her own reputation.
Organization leaders who had sparred
for the time all night in fear that their
program of impeachment would be
wrecked by lack of votes, welcomed
newcomers to the assembly chamber,
summoned from New York during the
early hours, and assured of victory by
their presence, started a rapid-fire of
legislation with the adoption of the
impeachment resolution.
Long articles of impeachment, em
bracing the findings of the Frawley in
vestigating committee in' substance, lay
ready for presentation in the desk of
Democratic Leader Levy hours before
. the organization trusted its impeach
ment resolution to a roll call. With the
adoption of this resolution and the cre
ation of a committee headed by Mr.
Levy to prepare the articles a recess
was taken. Mr. Levy and his asso
ciates went through the formality of re
tiring to reappear within an hour and
sent* the articles to the speaker’s desk
with a resolution that they asked be
adopted.
A roll call showed the adoption of
the articles by a vote of 79 to 32. a
the senate with the assembly’s findings
committee was appointed to acquaint
at the meeting of the senate scheduled
for 11 o’clock this morning.
SULZER’S LAWYERS PROTEST.
It was explained to the assembly by
the majority leaders that with the pre
sentation to the senate of the articles
of impeachment William Sulzer would
automatically cease to be governor and
Martin H. Glynn, lieutenant governor,
would .assume his office. Mr. Sulzer’s
lawyers, however, entertain a different
view.
After the adoption of the articles of
Impeachment the assembly quickly pass
ed a resolution appointing nine mana
gers to conduct the impeachment pro
ceedings on behalf of the lower house
The managers are under the chairman
ship of Assemblyman Levy and include
five other New York City Democrats.
Thereafter, under the head of unfin
ished business, the assembly took up
consideration of several bills passed at
the present session and vetoed by the
governor. With a roll call that moved
swiftly and without hitch, the first of
the bills was repassed over the gov
ernor’s veto.
MEMBERS SLUMBER.
Many members had been slumbering
in their seats during the tedious hours
of the prolonged debate. Others, buoyed
no longer by the excitement of the im
peachment proceedings, leaned back in
their chairs and closed their eyes. By
the time the first bill had been passed
there were audible sounds of deep and
labored breathing in some of the mem
bers asleep In their chairs. Speaker
Smith, leaning forward, swept with his
eyes rows of men with their heads on
their bosoms and their eyes closed.
“A number of the members, I take it,
are asleep in their chair,” he thunder
ed, bringing his gavel down with a
resounding thump on his desk. “Mem
bers will please answer when their
names are called.”
More whacks of the gavel aroused the
sleepers momentarily and the assembly
took up another bill whicn Governor
Sulzer had vetoed.
With this out Of the way the assem
bly adjourned at 7:30 o’clock to meet
again at 11 o’clock this morning.
Two hundred spectators, all who were
left of a throng that surged in over
whelming numbers through the capitoi
last night, walked out of the assembly
chamber with the legislators.
The heaviest guard of uniformed po
lice ever sent into the capitoi, each
armed with night stick and revolver,
walked out, too, leaving the assembly
chamber in solitude.
GOVERNOR DIDN’T WAIT.
In ine executive mansion, where Mrs.
Sulzer made last night what her friends
call her “confession” to save her hus
band, and where Governor Sulzer sat till
almost dawn waiting the verdict from
the brightly lighted chamber five min
utes’ walk away, there was no sign of
life when the legislature adjourned.
Worn by weary waiting, the governor
was sleeping. He went to bed before
the roll call and was• not wakened to be
told the news.
“The governor knew pretty well what
would be the result,” was the only word
from the executive mansion.
The governor had left word that he
was not to be disturbed under any cir
cumstances. In the light of the revela
tion contained in Mrs. Sulzer’s declara
tion to Senator Palmer yesterday after
noon, Governor Sulzer’s friends are in
clined today to view the ordeal which
confronts him with less apprehension
than before his impeachment. By her
assertion that she diverted part of the
IMPEACHED
GOVEBNOB WILLIAM SULZER.
campaign contributions sent her hus
band to private purposes without his
knowledge, and used them to purchase
stock in Wall street, she has shorn the
articles of impeachment of many of
their terrors, his friends declare.
Governor Sulzer cohsented to permit
Mrs. Sulzer’s declaration to become pub
lic late last night only when he found
that he could not prevent it and that It
lived as a rumor on the lips of every
member of* the assembly in the city.
A close friend of both Governor and
Mrs. Sulzer so asserted today.
MRS. SULZER MUST TESTIFY.
Mrs. Sulzer must take the witness
stand in her husband’s behalf before
the court of impeachment, tell her story
in detail and submit to examination by
hostile lawyers or take the hazard that
the impeachers will prove their case,
the governor’s friends believe. Either
her reputation or her husband's, these
friends fear, must suffer. They say she
will take the stand if she has no other
choice. They add that she besought the
governor a week ago to permit her to
tell* her story to the public.
What attitude Governor Sulzer would
take in this matter as well as toward
the question of vacating his office when
the senate should receive the articles
of impeachment brought forth wide di
vergencies of views among his friends
and opponents today.
The majority leaders were reasonably
certain, they said, that he would not at
tempt to continue to hold office, but
would recognize what they asserted was
the law and give way to Lieutenant
Governor Glynn. Louis Marshall, the
governor's counsel is quoted as placing
a different interpretation on the law.
According to the quoted expression ot
Mr. Marshall’s views, the language of
the constitution is not clear on this
point and Governor Sulzer could, not
give himself the benefit of the doubt by
refusing to vacate the office. There has
been some talk of his ordering out
troops to prevent his forcible removal
in case it was contemplated he should
decline to surrender his office. Little
credence, however, is placed by his
friends in the report that he would re
sort to such extremity.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR SILENT.
lieutenant Governor Martin H.
Glynn had no comment to make tod^y
concerning the impeachment proceed
ings.
Valentine Taylor, Governor Sulzer’s
counsel, and Chester C. Platt, secretary
to tne executive, watched closely every
move by the assembly during the long
hours of the night.
Two of the deputy attorney generals
were there as advisers to the leader.
It was said that no request had Seen
made to the attorney general for an
opinion as to the legal status of the.
present occupant of the executive
chamber. Uncertainty as to whether
Mr. Glynn would attempt to assume
th- duties of governor after presenta
tion of the articles of impeachment
waa much discussed. Indication
points to considerable delay in assem
bling the two houses of the legisla
ture.
Senator Palmer, to whom Mrs. Sul
zer told the story of her dealings in
Wall street yesterday, confirmed the
statements attributed to him today.
He confided to several senators Mrs.
‘Sluzer’s declaration that she was to
blame for the check transactions
charged against the governor, and the
story was soon the subject of excited
gossip.
Governor Sulzer walked over from
tho executive mansion to the capitoi
this morning, i^e made no statement.
Mad Surgeon Makes
Delicate Operation
Vivisection Frolic
__ . _ < B y Associated Press.)
MARIETTA, Ohio, Aug. 14. v
the commitment to Longview asy
in Cincinnati today of Dr. William
Dabney, there has come to light
of the most remarkable chapters
medical history. Not until the crs
surgeon had undertaken to perform v
section upon a patient was it realizec
the attendants in the operating r
that madness was directing the j
and scalpel as it sought to uncover
tal organs.
Dr. Dabney entered practice In Ma-
rletta about fifteen years ago. He
made a specialty of eye, ear and throat
operations.
It was the death on the operating
table of an aged and wealthy farmer,
Jacob F. Sohaad, that brought Dr. Dab
ney’s career to a climax. Sehaad had
a tumorous growth on his upper jaw-
He consulted Dr. Dabney and was as
sured that a minor operation would re
move the disfigurement.
According to the story of the nurse
Dr. Dabney began to dissect the face
and throat of the unconscious Sehaad
Both sides of the face were laid open
and deep incisions made In the throai
But the skill of the mad surgeon was
shown In the dexterity with which he
avoided inflicting a fatal wound.
The horrified nurse ran from the room
shrieking that Dr. Dabney was killing
his patient. Her cries brought other doc
tors and several hospital attendants to
the -rescue, and Dr. Dabney, by this
time a raging maniac, brandishing his
scalpel over th eunconscious living sub
ject, was disarmed and subdued, after a
desperate struggle.
STANLEY IS NOMINATED
POSTMASTER EOR DUBLIN
President Wilson Also Sends
Name of S. P, Darley for
Vidalia Office
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The row
over the Dublin postoffice was finally
settled today by President Wilson
with the nomination of Vivian L. Stan
ley, for many years editor and publish
er of the Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
Mr. Stanley’s name was presented
some two or three months ago to the
postoffice department by Congressman
Hughes, but the nomination was held
up because of charges of objectionable
political activity that were lodged
with Postmaster General Burleson by
citizens of Laurens county. It was
alleged that Stanley’s pre-convention
activity against President Wilson was
such as to unfit him for the office.
Colonel Ed T. Brown, Walter P. An
drews and William B. Harris, the state
chairman, who Ynanaged the Wilson
campaign in Georgia, made a careful
Investigation of Stanley’s record in
the pre-convention fight. They exam
ined the files of his newspaper, and
recommended that he b e nominated as
the inquiry did not substantiate the
charges of objectionable activity.
President Wilson sent to senate to
day the nomination of the following
Georgia postmasters:
Vivian Stanley, Dublin; Sanford P.
Darby, Vidalia.
The president today also sent to the
senate the following nominations:
Postmasters:
Alabama—W. P. Tartt, Livingston.
Georgia—Sanford P. Darby, Vidalia.
Mississippi—J. P. Robb, Greenville.
North Carolina—George W. Waters,
Plymouth; R. P. Gardner, Mount Holly.
Tennessee—Emily Taylor St. John,
Harriman; W. F. Holland. Kingston.
Virginia—W. R. Rogers, Crewe.
ENGLISH SOLON WANTS
EXHIBIT AT FRISCO
LONDON, Aug. 14.—An effort to res
urrect British participation in the Pana
ma-Pacific exposition at San Francisco
was made in the house of commons this
afternoon by Colonel George A. Gibbs,
a Unionist member. Colonel Gibbs asked
Sydney Buxton, president of the board
of trade, for his reasons for withhold
ing British official recognition of the
exposition. He put the following ques
tion:
“In view of the importance attached
to the Panama-Pacific exposition by
Americans will the board of trade re
consider its decision?”
Mr. Buxton referred his questioner to
Sir Edward Grey's reply as fully cover
ing the official view of the matter held
out no promise of reconsideration of
the British government's attitude.

CO-OPERATIVE MARKETS
INVESTIGATED BY U. S.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Co-opera
tion in marketing, with a view to lessen
ing the “high cost of living,” seems to
have taken such a hold upon the people
of the United States that the depart
ment of agriculture is being inundated
with requests from such co-operative or
ganizations for an investigation of their
individual merits. So great has the
pressure become that the department
announced today it was not contemplat
ing the recommendations of any special
system, and would not proceed now with
its work on that line.
The department, it was disclosed, has
not yet fully organized its new bureau
of markets, which is designed to or
ganize and systematize the economical
distribution of food between the pro
ducer and the consumer. It is set forth
that no less than sixty-four applicants
for the position of specialist in co-oper
ative organization disclosed their quali
fications, and that the civil service com
mission would require some time 10
make a recommendation.
“After the specialist in co-operative
organization has been selected,” says the
department statement, “it is possible
that this officer, as opportunity arises,
may make personal observations as to
the conduct and methods of some of the
numerous organizations in the United
States to assist the department in giv
ing the most valuable information and
advice to groups of persons, desiring to
effect organizations.”
Until that time, however, the depart
ment will decline to tackle the ques
tion of co-operative buying and selling.
HAMMOCK-TENT FOR ARMY
MAY LESSEN SICKNESS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Hammock-
tent or tent-hammock—which ever title
fits best, for the inventor has no choice
—is the name of a device submitted to
the war department by Henry Mattes,
an inmate of the soldiers’ home, as a
solution for much of the problem of
housing troops on the march. The
"tent” weighs sixteen pounds and is tel
escoped and can be carried in a soldier’s
blanket roll, according to the inventor
The small hammock serves to keep the
sleeper off the damp ground, while the
aluminum hood protects him from the
elements overhead. Mattes claims the
adoption of his device would lead to
less sickness and mortality in the
army.
The so-called “tent” is made in sec
tions eighteen inches long, has four
joints, is six feet in length, three feel
wide and four feet high. The inventor
claims it is waterproof and can be erect
ed or taken down easily and quickly
The military authorities may look into
the inventor's claims.
HE MUST PAY ALIMONY;
ELSE TO JAIL HE GOES
MACON, Ga., Aug. 14.—D. F. Arnold,
a contractor q,nd formerly a member
of the Macon police force, will go to
jail on September 5, unless he pays ali
mony to his wife in the sum of $285
He was summoned before Judge Ma
thews and asked why he had not paid
the alimony according to the mandate
of the court, and he explained that his
funds had been short, but that he was
willing to make the payment. He was
given until September 5, to raise the
money.
The original judgment against Arnold
was that he should pay his wife $75
down, $30 per month and her attor
neys $30.

POLICE BELIEVE CIRL
WAS MURDERED BY GANG
Unknown Woman Yet Uniden
tified-No Clue to Murderer
Has Been Found
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—Thirty-six
hours have elapsed with hardly any
progress toward the identification of a
young woman, who was found murdered
on Sunday night in a bit of swamp land
in upper Manhattan. The police are
also quite as helpless in their search
for clues to the murderers, but they
entertain a theory that the woman may
have been killed as part of a gang plot
It is recalled that a large party of
east siders held a picnic in a grove
near the scene of the murder on Sun
day afternoon. It is also suggested
that the case of William Lustig, who
was seriously shot in the east side
cafe by gangsters last week and who
had been decoyed to the place by a
woman, has a bearing on the murder.
Since the shooting, the police have been
anxious to learn the identity of the
girl decoy in the Lustig case, and it is
said that the gangsters feared that if
she were caught, she might reveal the
names of all concerned in the Lustig
plot.
The gang situation has assumed such
serious proportions on the east side,
that a mass meeting under the auspi
ces of the East Side Neighborhood as
sociation voted last night to undertake
a war of extermination against the out
laws. Small shop-keepers bore testi
mony to the numerous times they had
been victims of black mail, of how they
had been forced to contribute funds for
gang activities under threat. It was
declared that the situation was beyond
the control of the police and that the
east siders themselves must take a bold
stand against the criminals.

Rightto Whip City Convicts
City Marshal Formerly Had

ROME, Ga., Aug. 14.—The city coun
cil of Rome has amended Its civic code
and given the right to the superintend
ent of the street department Or super

whip convicts on the city chaingang.
Heretofore it has been necessary to
take the prisoners to the city hall and
have the city marshal administer cor

considerable public sentiment against
the corporal punishment of convicts.
OPPONENTS OF SULZER
CAN’T MUSTER FORCES
(By Associated Press.)
ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 14.—The ap
pointed hour for considering the res
olution to impeach Governor Sulzer
found his friends and foes in the lower
house of the New York legislature to
day jockeying for time to recruit their
numbers and to gather in the two
score and more * absentees from last
night’s session.
Encounters preliminary to the real
right on the floor of the asembly in
dicated the inability of the governor's
opponents to muster votes sufficient to
carry through their program of Im
peachment. Telegraph and telephone
wires throughout the state were alive
during the morning with appeals to
absent members to hurry to Albany and
align themselves on the question.
ROUND UP MEMBERS.
Majority Leader Levy, facing the
possibility of failure to procure the
seventy-six votes necessary to impeach
today, directed that every absent mem
ber be peremptorily summoned to Al
bany. Republican Leader Hinman and
Assemblyman Schaap, leader of the
handful of Progressives who have es
poused the governor’s cause, worked
no less assiduously to swell the num
bers of their followers.
The entire program of impeachment
today was imperilled by the absence of
eleven men relied upon by majority
leaders to gather under their standard.
This was indicated by the vote of last
night, when only 65 of the 149 assem
blymen cast their votes with Mr. Levy.
A majority of the elected members is
necessary to impeach. Although 75
votes constitute a majority of the
