Aug. 13,-The Court of Impeachment will meet at the Capitol Septem ber 18 at noop. ALBANY. N. Y., Auk 13.--Gov- ernor William Sulzer was impearhed by the New York Assembly to-day by a vot<* of 79 to 45 The specific charge in the indictment of "high crimes and misdemeanors” was that he used moneys contributed to his campaign for speculation in Wall street. The vote was taken at 5:15 o’clock after a night of acrimonious debate. Wall street has claimed many vic tims, both high and low, but few cases have afforded a more pathetic spectacle than that of Governor Sul zer, standing alone after having fought his way up the political lad der through fifteen years or more of grueling battle. To controvert evidence produced by the Frawley legislative committee, which showed that Governor Sulzer had used money contributed to his campaign for stock speculation. Mrs. Sulzer. w r as prepared to go upon the stand to testify that she indorsed her husband’s name to checks without his knowledge and used them for stock purchases. Even this noble wifely sacrifice, declared the Governor’s op ponents. would not save him from po litical annihilation when the impeach ment proceedings are actually begun by the managers appointed by the as sembly. Friends Make Hard Fight. Governor Sulzers friends, includ ing Republicans, Democrats and one lone Progressive, made a spirited fight, but the antagonists were strong in numbers and logic and were able to prevail. While the all-night battle raged Governor Sulzer remained alone in the the executive mansion, “the peo ple’s house,” as he called it, refusing to see any one or to be seen. Com forted only by his wife he remained In lonely vigil until after dawn, when a messenger informed him that he had been impeached. Tears streamed down the Governor’s face when he heard the news. Governor Sulzer will be tried by the. Senate and a majority of the Judges of the State Court of Appeals, the evidence being presented against him by managers appointed by the Assem bly. Directly after the vote had been taken In the Assembly, Speaker Smith appointed Assemblymen Van- Woert. Cole and Bradley to Inform the Senate officially of the impeach ment Speaker Smith announced also that no time would be lost in preparing the articles of impeachment for presen tation to the court, but Mr. Sulzer has twenty days in which to prepare his defense. * Shunned in Hour of Trial. The articles of impeachment will he drawn up by Assembleymen Levy of New York, Deitz or Brooklyn, Kel ly of Dutchess County, Daley of Onondaga County and Bryant of Genesee County. Mr. Bryant is a Re publican: the others are Democrats. After this committee had been ap pointed there was a conference in the office of Senator Frawley, chairman of the committee which Investigated the Governor. Efforts to get word from Mr. Sulzer. however, were un availing. In the darkened executive chambers Mr. Sulzer restlessly paced up and down One wild report was circulated that he would go In person before the Assembly and plead his own case before a vote was taken: another rumor had it that he would make overtures to his political ene mies. All were wrong. The Governor waited developments anxiously and Impatiently. He made a forlorn figure. Just a short time ago his favor was courted by all. but when the tide of politics began to go against him he wa» deserted. Omy his wife gave him comfort. Even friends of his own political party shunned him. History of an unprecedented nature was made, for never before has a Gov ernor of this State been impeached. There was practically nothing do ing during the hours before noon, as nearly all the legislators were In bed. Opponents of the Governor were busy, however, and Mr. Sulzer was severely criticised for his reported acquies cence to his wife's declaration that she was unwittingly responsible for the Wall Street speculation charges “He should not try to hide behind I petticoats to save his political face ” j said they. | Friends of the impeached Governor are deeply distressed to-day over the ! action of the assembly. They still maintain that politics of a Tammany taint is rampant In the legislative halls They go so far as to predict I that Acting Governor Glynn, who is ! now the rightful occupant of the ex- 1 ecutiva chamber, will be given full op portunity to decapitate appointments made by the Governor, in that It is expected that no Impeachment pro ceedings will be started until late in October, which is the limit of time provided for in the Constitution when the impeachment trial through the court of impeachment must be insti tuted. These friends of the Governor find solace in the fact that in addition to th*» 76 votes necessary to impeach, Tammany could muster but three ad ditional votes They point out that fourteen Republicans voted to sustain the Governor and feel that it was rock-ribbed political tactics which forced those who voted favorably on j t he impeachment resolution to do so j It is not believed that the Impeach- I ed Governor will be forced to vacate i the Executive mansion although he ! may feel in honor bound to do so I Acting Governor Glynn has a home I of his ow n In one of the most ex j elusive thoroughfares in the city and I a summer home at Cedar HU! I That the knotty tangle which the Democrats now find themselves in was due to the uncompromising atti tude of Governor Sulzer was claimed by organization Democrats. They declare that Governor Sulzer frowned on all attempts made by the leaders “to get together” and that they had to ‘ get him,” that it was known that Sulzer had a checkered past, in spite of h1s continued declarations that he “was walking the street called straight.” All sorts of ”1 told you ko’s were forthcoming from Democratic legislators and Whispers of more un complimentary pages of the Gover nor’s life found utterance. A prominent Democratic member said that the Frawley committee had in reserve a mass of evidence which, if used, would create more scandal of which the Governor would be the vic tim. This material may be brought out during the future sessions of the Frawley committee Briefly, the articles of Impeachment which were presented to the Senate to-day charge that Governor Sulzer is guilty of the following allegations. That he filed a false statement of campaign contributions with the Sec retary of State, such statement hav ing caused “great scandal” and re proach for the Governor of the State of New- York, and that the said state ment did not contain all the contribu tions received by hint, and that he was guilty of a misdemeanor In failing to file a true report. Charge Effort to Blook Quiz. That while Governor, William Sul zer Induced Louis It. Sarecky, Fred erick L Colwell and Melville B. Ful ler, by fraudulent methods, to with hold certain testimony from the Frawley committee, and that such acts were the commission of a felony. That the Governor “practiced deceit and fraud and used threats and men aces” Intended to prevent the commit tee and other witnesses subpenaed from producing hooks and papers de sired by the committee, such act hav ing been s misdemeanor. That in preventing or dissuading Frederick L. Colwell from attending the hearing of the Frawley commit tee the Governor was also guilty of a misdemeanor in having violated section 2441 of the penal law. J That prior to his election the Gov ernor appropriated campaign contri butions to his own use using the same, or a large portion thereof, to speculate in stocks, and that he there by stole such checks and was guilty of larceny. That he promised and threatened to use his office to affect the vote of certain public officers, including As semblymen S. G. Prime, of Essex, and Thaddeus C. Sweet, of Oswego. That the Governor corruptly used his authority as Governor to affect the price of securities in the New York Stock Exchange, In some of which he was speculating and in oth er ways sought to Influence legisla- iton. In conclusion the articles read: “The assembly demands that the Governor answer concerning all these matters before the court which 1b to hear the charges, and offers to pre- stmt proof of said matters at such time as the honorable court for the trial of impeachment may order and appoint." William Sulzer less than a year ago enjoyed the confidence of the peop e of New York State to such an extent that he was elected Governor by a vote of 19.000 In excess of that ~<ven Wilson and the national ticket, and a few months later s-wid In an inter view “The p° ’ understand me, I understand the people, and we trust each other.” Throughout his long career In the State Assembly, in the National House of Representatives, and during nls recent campaign for election as Governor and his six-n.cnth tenure of that office Governor Sulzer always posed as a poor man and a friend of the poor man IZ3 Indorses Hearst’s Sunday Ameri can Trail-Blazing Trip Through D v ixie to San Francisco.

Rapidly making toward the room where many thousand rounds of am munition were stored, fire did several thousand dollars’ worth of damage in the. storeroom of the armory over Taft Hall In the Auditorium early Wednes day afternoon. The main auditorium was not touch ed, however. The blaze did not *.»t within 100 yards of the huge organ. The fire was discovered by Sergeant Wardwell, of the Artillery Corps, who happened to be in the basement at the time. Smoke came down the ©le vator shaft and he rushed up*-’airs Into the office of H. J. Weaver, the keeper of the building. They hurried to the upper floor and discovered f smoke coming out of the storeroom in which the tents of Companies C and D are kept. An alarm was turn ed in and several companies re sponded. Firemen Find Doors Locked. It required several minutes for the firemen to gain entrance into the room on account of the door being locked. The armory is on the top floor and It was necessary to use an aerial truck and enter through the window'. The firemen were driven hack for Home time by the heavy smoke from the burning tents and were compelled to play several streams on them f »r more than half an hour. The tents which were burned were used in the recent encampment at St Simons Island, and it is qu' f i proba ble that the fire had smoldered for I several days. The loss to the National I Gtt&rd will amount to several thou sand dollars It required hut a few moments for the room to till with water to a depth of more than two feet, the fire being unusually bard to quench on account of the waterproof tents, and having ! started in the center of a huge pile of ! canvas. Plastering Loosened. The water seeped through the floor and the ceiling over Taft Hall, loos ening the plaster there, while a neavy stream flowed down the stairways in to the great lobby. When the fire was extinguished the firemen under took the task of baling out the store room, using large galvanized tuba tor the work. News of the Auditorium being on fire drew a large crowd, but when | the rumor that many rounds of am munition were stored in the apartment ext to the tent room spread the crowd melted rapidly. The fire will not Interfere with a prize fight scheduled at the Audito rium Wednesday night. If Representatives Sheppard of Sumter County and Stovall of Elbert County stand by their guns during the two remaining sessions of the legislature, a determined fight to In duce the House to reconsider Its ac tion in passing the Senate tax revi sion bill, providing for a State Tax Commissioner and county boards -if assessors, will be inaugurated Wed nesday or Thursday. Both Mr. Stovall and Mr. Sheppard made strenuous efforts to get the floor immediately after the passage of the bill with a motion to reconsid^ er, but were ruled out of order at their first attempt by Speaker Bur- well. Then Ed Wohlwender. of Mus cogee. stepped into the breach with one of his filibusters, and their op portunity was gone. They have served notice on the House, however, that they will make a motion to reconsid er at the earliest possible opportunity Friends of the measure, however, who passed it after one of the most spectacular fights in the history of Georgia, declare that they have no fear that the efforts of Mr.- Sheppard and Mr. Stovall will succeed. Backed by the approbation of Governor Sla ton, who issued a statement Tuesday night that the House deserved the thanks of the State, they have no fear that their work will be destroyed during the short remaining time of the session. Several Foes Drop Fight. Several members w’ho voted against the tax bill declared Wednesday morning that in view of their friend ship for the administration they will not support a motion to reconsider, even though it come from Sheppard and Stovall, recognized leaders of the anti-tax reformers in the House It took singing, much argument, a wild ride to the Capitol in an auto mobile, a deciding vote by the Speak er and one of Ed Wohlwender's noted filibusters to pass the bill, but after three hours’ hard work, in which every foot of the march to success was a battle, It was finally done. Bob Blackburn, of Fulton, led the singing that put courage into the hearts of the tax reformers; Hender son of Jones made the wild ride to the Capitol and cast the tying vote at the last moment, and then Speaker Burwell stepped Into the breach and saved the bill by casting the vote that broke the tie and made the bill a law. Sheppard, of Sumter, denounced the measure, declaring that it is uncon stitutional, and Stovall, of Elbert, de livered an equally strong speech against the bill. MeCrory. of Schley County, and Conner, of Spalding, aiso denounced it. Among those who spoke in favor of it were Wimberly, of Bibb; Jones of Coweta; Swift, of Muscogee; Fullbright, of Burke, and Greene, of Houseton. At 5 o’clock Holtzclaw, of Hous ton, called the previous question, and at 5:15 the roll call began on the measure. The closeness of the vote was apparent before half a dozen names were called. The vote see sawed during the entire roll call. At no time was either side more than three votes ahead. When the verifi cation of the roll call began at 6:10 o’clock the antis had 86 votes and the reformers 83. Then one of the members arose and changed his vote from yea to nay, changing the figure.-; to 85 to 84. Then Gower, of Crisp, bethought himself that Henderson, of Jones, a sterling friend of the measure, was not in the House. He began hunting for him. In five minutes he had lo cated Henderson at the Majestic Ho- | tel, where he was waiting for a mes sage from his wife, who is very ill. Henderson was told the status of the vote and Jumped Into a taxicab and started on a wild ride to the Capitol. He arrived as the clerk was calling the.S’s in his verification. Mr. Hen derson gained the floor and voted yea. tying up the vote. When the Speak er announced that the vote was a tie, there was a moment of breathless quiet. Then Speaker Burwell voted yea and pandemonium broke loose. Mem bers shouted and 5«ng. Jumped upon their seat*, shook hands and relieved the tense feeling that had prevailed. None was happier than Pat Burney, one of the older members of the House. He jumped up on his desk and let out a whoop that could be heard five blocks. The din continued for five minutes before the Speaker could restore order. Then Sheppard' of Sumter, and Stovall, of Elbert, began a systemati? effort to bring about a reconsideration of the bill. Their efforts were de feated when Blackburn, of Fulton, moved that the House adjourn to 9:30 o’clock Wednesday morning, which it a debatable question. Wohlwender arose to the occasion—and the bill was saved. In a statement issued last night Governor Slaton declared that the Legislature deserves the thanks of the people of Georgia. “It has shown efficiency and busi ness capacity in a form that com mands the confidence of the entire business world and can offer without embarrassment the bonds of Georgia to the strictest financier.” Soldier Held for Attempted Attack PENSACOLA, Aug. 13—Jack Gord, a soldier from Fort Barrancas, is be ing held in irons at the navy yard charged with attempting to attack a prominent young woman at Warring ton.
