Word was received by the War Office to-day that documents had been found on the prisoners allow ing that they were trying to create mutiny in the Turkish army. They will be court-martialed.

The man tried to free his companion, and as he grasped her hands and pulled some thing ripped. In a moment what had been the girl’s skirt lay limp and loose at her feet. She fainted.

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 resolution 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. The foundations of such a test w’ere laid to-day when Deputy Comptroller Walsb asked Attorney General Car- mody for a legal opinion on the status of Governor Sulzer and Lieutenant Governor Glynn. Mr. Walsh wanted to determine whether or not he was legally entitled to pay out money on orders signed by Governor Sulzer. Sulzer to Charge Plot. 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 victim 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. 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, w’ho 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 w’rongdoing against him. Lieutenant Governor Glynn, who i9 a newspaper owner in this city, and who is friendly with the Governor, said he would not make an aggressive fight to get into the Executive Man sion. He said his sole desire is to get the rights accorded him under the Constitution. Awaits Ruling of Court. 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 w ill 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 the building any persons trying to oust Governor Sulzer or his family. Any night raid upon the Sul zer stronghold will be stoutly re sisted.

Senate Struggles With Mass of Important Work — O’Neill- Price Affair Dropped. Visibly stirred over the heated con troversy between Senator McNeil of the Tw’enty-second and Commissioner of Agriculture Price, who almost came to blows Wednesday, the Georgi i State Senators Thursday morning, on the eve of the end of the session, pre pared for the final siege. The first dark sDot 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 th® hearts of the Senat*.* finance lead ers, although this is not certain.

Two other bills of importance will occupy the attention of the Senator? in the closing hours, namely, the in heritance tax bill and the bill giving mothers custody of their child. 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 la not unlikely’ the final session may be extended well into the afternoon or possibly Thursday nieht. Preparations for the passage of th? 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. Outwardlv everything <s smooth, but the Senators are free in discussing the matter among them selves. The controversy w’hich almost end ed in a serious cutting affray be tween the Macon Senator and the Commissioner, took 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 oart in a heated de bate on the bill to provide for toe printing of the agriculture 1 bulletins. “Well, you go. your bill through, you old lobbyist,” said Senator Mc Neill to Mr. 1 in a spirit (TT levity. "Yes. but your statement on the floor of the Senate was not exactly true.” It was here, the eyewitnesses say, that the flrewor 1 .» started. Senator McNeill inquiring of the Commission er as to whether or not he (Price) in tended to call him a 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 his throat.” Dr. W. C. Bryant grabbed the Senator s arm and drew’ him back. The Senator broke away, it is said, but was persuaded from going further by a number of Sena tors w’ho hacj 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 8enate 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 sharp 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. The Senator filibustered for a half hour when the supporters of the bill decided to stop the flow of oratory’ by Angry Bachelors to 'Strike' Because of Tax; Girls With ’Em Frank's attorneys thought that they would not be able to conclude before the early part of next week.

I w ill say that ift here are any more such outbreaks as yesterday J shall be forced to exclude them.” Mr. Frank, the mother and the pris oner's wife were both in court while the argument was in progress. The calling of four character wit nesses * Wednesday opened the flood gates for the State to get before the Jury all of its accusations against Frank, and was the direct caupe of a frantic outburst on the part of Mrs. Rae Frank, mother of the defendant, who rose from her chair and dramat ically denounced Solicitor General Dorsey. It was the first scene created by any of the members of the prisoner’s fam ily. Frank's wife and mother were perceptibly affected when the Solici tor previously was hurling his charges of gross misconduct against the de fendant, but both had restrained themselves from any marked demon stration. Feeling Reaches Bursting Point. The elder woman persistently had maintained an almost expressionless face while the most abhorrent charges were being made. Save that she looked away from the crowd as if it were a terrible ordeal to listen to the testimony, it would have been impos sible to tell that it was one of her loved ones against whom the charges were being made. Her feelings, however, had reached the bursting point Wednesday. She could stand the attack against he* - son’s character no longer. From th* impassive and quietly suffering wom an she w’as goaded to the fury of a tigress. From the lips of the Solicitor Gen eral flowed a stream of implied ac I cusations. He asked about alleged ing no longer to aw-ait the end of th# trial for her son’s vindication. Denounces Solicitor. The Solicitor continued. He gav# the names of girls of tender years. He narrated circumstances that brought a crimson flood io the face of th# younger Mrs. Frank. "Haven't you heard of these sto ries?” he asked insinuatingly oI the witness, A ah ley Jones. "No. nor you either!” cried thf mother. She was on her feet. The court* room was astounded at the sudden- | when a man is on trial for his ne8s and dramatic intensity of th® outburst.

The restaurant was entered by breaking open the rear door. Fifteen dollais was taken from the cash reg- j tory. about incidents in the girls’ dressing room which the Solicitor in timated that Frank invaded without apology or excuse. The mother of Frank lifted her eves to the Solicitor. There was in them no longer the look of resignation with which the other charges had beep met. In its place blazed hate and among the spectators, oblivious ot the calls for order of the court at* t&chea. Mrs. Frank stood in hysterical in dignation before the Solicitor Sha said tilings to him that were lost In the confusion. She would have con tinued her tirade had she not been restrained by court deputies and members of her own family who rush ed to her side to quiet and comfort her. "My God, my God.” she moaned as she wn s led sobbing from the court room. She was taken home in a hys terical condition. She returned to ward the clo-se of the afternoon ses sion, but did not re-enter the court room. If the denunciation affected the So* licltor, the did not show it unless it was by a line of questioning even more severe than he had pursued be fore. Testimony Aids Frank. J ones, an insurance man, in whose company Frank holds a policy, de nied that he had heard any of the reports of alleged immorality. He said that the young man’* record. In respect to health, habits and morals, had been very thoroughly Investigated before the policy was issued. He tes tified that Frank showed an unusual ly clean record. The bars were let down for the in* t^oduction of testimony against Frank’s character when the defense put on the stand Alfred L. Lane, of, Brooklyn, a classmate of Frank in Pratt Institute. Lane said that he had known Frank for flgteen years and that he knew he possessed a good character. Lane was followed by two other ot Frank’s classmates. They were Richard A. Wright, a. consulting engineer of Brooklyn, and Philip Nash, a clerical engineer, of Ridgewood. N. J. Both testified as to 1 his good character. Several wit nesses intervened and then Ashley Jones was called. Important testimony was given by Dr. William Owens, who was one of four men who sought to reproduce the disposal of Mary Phagan’s body as Jim Conley described it. William A. Fleming took the part of Frank and a Mr. Brent the part of Conley. Conley said that he and Frank car ried the body downstairs and re turned to Frank’s office in about five minutes. Dr. Owens said that it *ook them about eighteen and a half minutes to carry out the drama in the pencil factory, exclusive of writing the notes
