Herold, Seneca, Kans.; color-bearer. Chief Leo Flawk Man, Rosebud, N. Dak. ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 14.—For the first time in history, New York State to-day has two Governors. Although impeached by the Assembly by a vote of 79 to 45, Governor William Sulzer refuses to give up office and threat ens to call out the National Guard to prevent his removal. Lieutenant Governor Martin H. Glynn, who auto matically became Governor when the iesolution of impeachment was adopt ed in the Assembly, contests Gov ernor Sulzer's right to the preroga tives of the office. Mr. Glynn told his friends he would send a special message to the Legis lature, when it convenes August 19. to test his authority as Acting Governor. Governor Sulzer to-day began an active preparation of the defense he will make when arraigned before the court of impeachment, which will con sist of the Senate and a majority of the judges of the State Court of Ap peals. He will contend that he is the vfc&tim of a plot hatched by political enemies, and will deny every detail of the charges that he used money con tributed ot his campaign for specula tion in Wall Street. Governor Sulzer to-day was served with a certified copy of the impeach ment articles as required by the con stitution. They were served upon him by Senate Clerk Patrick E. Mc Cabe. ‘•Governor, I am directed by the President of the Senate to hand yon this,” said Mr. McCabe as he ex? tended a folded paper to the Governor. “All right,” was the only comment of Governor Sulzer. Governor Builds Defense. Judge D. Cady Herrick, chief of counsel for Governor Sulzer, is draw ing up the defense, but the work is being directed by the Governor him self. who is a lawyer. A big split has been caused among the politicians of the State by the impeachment. Adherents of Sulzer are standing firm, while his adversaries are at tempting to rake up fresh evidence of wrongdoing against him. Governor Sulzer’s attitude is that, until the State Court of Appeals ousts him. he is the rightful execu tive. He informed his friends that he will hold the fort by physical force if necessary, and that he is planning to make a test of his powers by ap pointing a Sheriff for Livingston County, to succeed the official who recently died there Guards, in the pay of the Gov ernor, occupy the executive chamber night and day, with instructions to hurl from tjie building any persons trying to oust Governor Sulzer or his family. Any night raid upon the Sul- zer stronghold will be stoutly re sisted. The impression pr< ’ tils that stren uous times, possibly involving violence and bloodshed, are impending. The Slate machinery has been completely demoralized. Executive affairs are at a standstill and factions are forming. Secretary of State May is said to have lined up with Governor Sulzer. Mrs. Sulzer Is III. If Governor Sulzer asks for State troops Adjutant General Hamilton probably will honor the orders, as he is an appointee of the Governor. This save rise to the contention that if Suzler seizes the State troops Lieu tenant Governor Glynn will have the power to enlist troops of his own. Sick and extremely nervous, Mrs. Sulzer was unable to leave her bed lo-dav. since the revelation from her lips that it was she and not the Gov ernor who took checks and Indorsed them in an account with the stock brokers in the name of William Sui- zcr. she has kept very much to her self in the Executive Mansion.

Visibly stirred over the heated con troversy between Senator McNeil of the Twenty-second and Commissioner of Agriculture Price, who almost came to blows Wednesday, the Georgii State Senators Thursday morning, on the eve of the end of the session, pre pared for the final siege. The first dark spot on the Senato rial horizon was the House general appropriations bill, which was shot back to the Senate Thursday morning with the $280,000 excess of disburse ment over revenue tacked on over the protest of the Senate, which sliced off this amount last week. Just what the Senate will do about it is problematical. The generosity of the House in passing the Senate taxing bill by one vote, it is said, may create a similar spirit in the hearts of the Senat.* finance lead ers, although this is not certain. Other Bills Face Struggle. Senator Stark, ^Jaadxman of the Sen ate Finance Committee, declared Thursday that he did not favor nut ting back the entire appropriation, but he may be overridden by the more generous Senators. Two other bills of importance will occupy the attention of the Senators in the closing hours, namely, the inher itance tax bill and the bill giving moth ers custody of theii children. That one of the sharpest fights yet seen in the Senate will be made on these bills Is said to be practically certain, and it is not unlikely the final session may be extended well into the afternoon or possibly Thursday nieht. Preparations for the passage of the last bills, however, has no monopoly on the time and attention of the Sen ators, who are much perturbed over the controversy between Senator Mc Neill and the Commissioner of Agri culture. Outwardly everything Ls smooth, but the Senators are free in discussing the matter among them selves. The controversy, which almost end ed in a serious cutting affray be tween the Macon Senator and the Commissioner, touL place Wednesday afternoon in President Anderson’s private room in the Senate Chamber. McNeill and Price Quarrel. According to eyewitnesses, Senator McNeill met Mr. Price in the room just after taking nart in a heated de bate on the bill to provide for the printing of the agricultur ’ bulletins. “Well, you go. your bill through, you ^ld lobbyist,” said Senator Mc Neill to Mr. I i a in a spirit of levity. “Yes. but your statement on the floor of the Senate was not exactly true.’ It was here, the eyewitnesses say, that the flrewor 4 ' g started, Senato- McNeill inquiring of the Commission er as to whether or not he (Price) in tended to call him « liar. Price, It is said, repeated his state ment in substance, whereupon Sena tor McNeill drew his knife, at the same time telling Price that he would ‘‘cut hjs throat.” Dr. W. C. Bryant grabbed the Senators arm and drew him back. The Senator broke away, it is said, but was persuaded from going further by a number of Sena tors who had gathered. It Is understood that both Senator McNeill and Mr. Price are willing to let the matter drop where it is. Primary Bill Goes Over. Following a spectacular filibuster led by Senator Harrell, of the Twelfth, the Senate late Wednesday afternoon postponed action on the proposed pri mary bill until next session. This bill was killed Wednesday morning, but was resurrected by its friends, in cluding Senator Tarver, in the after noon. After a fharp parliamentary skirmish Senator Harrell succeeded in getting the floor, whereupon he bland ly announced that he intended to stay there until the hour of adjournment.

Indications are that Lind’s presence will be tolerated, although the Gov ernment will not go out of its way to assist him In bringing peace. War Minister Blanquet to-day is sued a statement to the Mexico City newspapers, based on the Federal vic tory at Torreon. "The result of that fight, which was an overwhelming victory for the Gov ernment, proves conclusively that we are able to maintain our own ” said Blyanquet. “The Government forces are winning in every section of the republic, and we will soon be able to restore peace without outside aid. ‘‘Despite all the hindrances thrown in our way by’ the United States Gov ernment, we have been making prog ress since Victoriano Huerta was elected President.
