Continued From Page 1. 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 tim* ago his favor was courted by all, but when the tide of politics began to go against him he was 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 ail the legislation 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 tl\c Wall Street speculation charges. ‘‘He should not try to hide behind petticoats to save his political face ” said they. Ta mmany'j Hand Is Seert. 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 j that Acting Governor Glynn, who Is now the rightful occupant of the ex ecutive 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 the 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 the impeachment resolution to do so. It is not believed that the impeach ed Governor will be forced to vacate the Executive mansion although he may feel In honor bound to do so. Acting Governor Glynn has a home of his own in one of the most ex elusive thoroughfares in the city and a summer home at Cedar Hill. That the knotty tangle which the Democrats now find themselves in was due to the uncompromising atti tude of Governor Sulzer was claimed j 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 his continued declarations that hi* "was walking the street called j straight.” All sorts of "1 told you so's i were forthcoming from Democratic j legislators and whispers of more un- ! complimentary pages of tlie 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 brmjght 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 flled 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 him, and that he was guilty of a misdemeanor in failing to file a true report. Charge Effort to Block Quiz. That while Governor, William Sul- zer induced Louis R. Sarecky, Fred erick L. Colwell and Melville 13. Ful ler, by fraudulent methods, to with hold certain testimony- from the Frawley committee, and that such acts were the commission of a felony.

Senate Bill for Equalization Is Passed Following Long and Bitter Fight. Continued From Page 1. himself that Henderron, 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 loowe. Mem bers shouted and tang. Jumped udoh their seats, shook hands and relieved th? 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 systematic 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 n a debatable question. Wohlwender arose to the occasion—and the bill \vas saved. In a statement issued last night Governor Slaton declared that the Legislature deserves the thanks of the people of Georgfa. “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.” aces" intended .to prevent the commit tee and other witnesses subpenaed from producing books and papers de sired by the committee, such act hav ing been a 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 *J441 of the penal law. 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 lie there by stole such cheeks and was guiltj of larceny. Abuse of Power Alleged. That he promised and threatened to use his office to affect the vote of certain public officers, including As semblymen S. G. Prime, of Ess.**, 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 tion. In conclusion the articles read: “The assembly demands that tli" Governor answer concerning all these matters before the court which is to hear the charges, and offers to pre sent proof of said matters at such time as the honorable court for the trial of impeachment may order and appoint.’’ Posed as a Poor Man. William Sulzer less tlptn a year ago enjoyed the confidence of the peop e of New York State to such an extent that lie was eleeted Governor by ■« vote of 19,000 in excess of that -’ven Wilson and the national ticket, and a few months later paid in an Inter view, "The p‘ ' understand me, 1 understand the people, and we trust each other.” Throughout his long career in the State Assembly, in the National House of Representatives, and during his recent campaign for election as Governor and his six-r.cnth tenure of that office Governor Sulzer always posed as a poor man and a friend of the poor man Refuses to See Reporters. The Governor's secretary statel that Sulzer would not make any state ment and would not see the newspa per men at the usual hour to-day. When the Governor reached the (’apitol this morning, he was asked how he felt and replied: “Fine. It's a nice breezy morning.” He seemed to be in excellent spir its and paused to allow his picture to be taken at the foot of the Capitol steps. Although both houses of the Leg islature were scheduled to meet at 11 o’clock, it was long after that hour when the lawmakers, hollow-eyed and sleepy in appearance, began to ar rive. Many of them had not been to bed at all. The Court of Appeals, it was learned to-day, could not be convened much before the end of September on account of many of the Judged being in Europe and other places on vaca tions. No word was forthcoming to-day as to whether Governor Sulzer would attempt to remain in office or fight his accusers. The Governor himseK would say nothing whatever, and Judge D. Cady Herrick, before he went into consultation with the Gov ernor, refused to discuss the situa tion. It is believed % by friends of the Governor that for thj time being the Governor will step aside, but no con firmation of this can be obtained. 200 Seek to Enjoin Road Law in Dawson GAINESVILLE, Aug. 13.—Judge J.
