THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1913. 3 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.

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.

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.

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 house as it now stands, seventy-six votes are needed, inasmuch as the full membership is 150. One member has resigned since election. CONFERENCE OE DOCTORS HOLDS BUSY SESSION Physicians Discuss Leprosy, Diseases of Ear and Con nections With Trades (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Au*. 14.—All section* of the International medical congress were in session today. "Leprosy" gave rise to an interest ing discussion In the bacteriology seo- tion. Major E. R. Rost, of the Indian Medical service, said that after years of experience he had reached the belief that the disease in the great majority of cases was contracted through infected clothing. He emphasized the Import ance of segregation and of sterallzing all clothing worn by lepers. “Climatic and occupational Influence in disease of the ear,” was the subject of a paper by Dr. Clarence Blake, of Boston, In the olologoy section. Hs re marked that miners were prone espe cially to ear diseases because of the dust and detonations In a circumscribed space without the possibility of diffu sion. In the same way persons engaged in trades productive of dust and grime were Inclined to be affected. “Noise Is the most important and Injurious by product of Industry," he said, “yet it Is the last, to receive attention.” Arthur H. Cheatle, lecturer on rural surgery at King’s college hospital, call ed attention to the deafness associated with aeroplanlng. Three factors he said, were conducive to this form of occupational deafness—height, speed and motors’ noise. U. S. WILL SELL SPANISH WARSHIP TAKEN_BY DEWEY (By Associated Press.)
