Violence Feared in Fight to Rout
Impeached Governor—Cabinet
I • Deserts Him.
ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 16.—Violent
measures are apt to be taken to-day
by Lieutenant Governor Martin H.
Glynn to force William Sulzer, the
impeached Governor, from possession
at the executive chambers. Mr. Glynn’s
peacfui efforts to get possession of
^the State having failed, he has been
counseled to force the surrender of
Governor Sulzer.
Mr. Sulzer now virtually stands
alone, having been deserted by the
members of his cabinet, who have
allied themselves to the Glynn forces.
But Sulzer refuses to abdicate, de
spite the fact that the ranks of' his
political enemies have been strength
ened during the last 24 hours.
Lieutenant Governor Glynn, who is I
now signing State documents with ;
this signature, “Martin H. Glyi Act
ing Governor, State of New York.’’
announced that, in spite of any ob-
j ^ructions thrown in his way by the
Sulzer legal forces, he would continue
to “ administer gubernatorial affairs
pending Mr. Sulzer’s trial for alleged j
high crimes and misdemeanors Sep
tember 18.
Crucial Day in Fight,
v This was expected to be the crucial
»ay in the fight between Sulzer and
Glynn for the control of the destinies
of the Empire State, the richest Com
monwealth of the nation.
Both sides are taking elaborate pre
cautions to guard against a trick.
Throughout the night armed guards
stood watch over each State depart
ment, while lawyers and legislators
involved In the struggle were trailed
by private detectives. Mr. Sulzer was
ip ^retirement planning a new legal
move with his counsel. Messenger
boys with Washington and New York
City telegrams could not find the Gov
ernor, but members of the “inner cir
cle” took charge of the dispatches,
saying they would find the Governor.
PLeaders of the anti-Sulzer faction
made the threat that Mr. Glynn, now
having control of the State Military
Department, would actually invade the
executive chamber.
"He will get a mighty warm re
ception," declared the Sulzer adher
ents, who are few, but courageous.
Some Fear Martial Law.
Some residents of this city, r*.
lag the intense seriousness of the sit-
tion, fear that conditions may be-
.e so grave that martial law will

|>t was assumed that Governor Sul-
zejr to-day would reply to the second
nolfe from Lieutenant Governor Glynn,
demanding the unconditional surren
der of all prerogatives by Mr. Sulzer
tg^d the abdication of the Governor.
Counsel were with the Governor at
the beginning of the official day, and
it'Was reported that the Governor was
urged to take a fling at Tammany
Hall.
That the Legislature, when it re
convenes on Tuesday, will recognize
Mr. Glynn as the constitutional Gov
ernor of the State was regarded as
almost certain, but allowance was
made for events which may trans
pire in the meantime.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON. Aug. 16.—“Has Mrs. Em
meline Pankhurst forsaken the mil
itant suffragettes?”
This question arose here to-day fol
lowing the receipt of a telegram fro n
Paris to the effect that the famous
leader has just joined her fugitive
daughter, Christobel, in that city. At
Scotland Yard it was said that de
tectives know of Mrs. Pankhurst's de
parture from BEnglar d and had so no
tified the Government, but no efforts
had been take., to stop her flight de
spite the fact that she was only tem
porarily out of prison when she lef‘,
and has over two years to serve yet.
In fact, it was made plain that th*
Government breathes easier with Mrs.
Pankhurst on foreign soil.
Prominent members of the Women’s
Social and Political Union, of which
Mrs. Pankhurst is president, deny
that Mrs. T>...khurst has fled. They
declare that her mission to Paris is t >
induce Christobel to return to London.
One theory, based upon this conten
tion, is that Mrs. I\—khur.t fears her
other dnught£*r, Sylvia, who was re
leased from Holloway jail the other

It was furnished by the person that
Belasco would have- picked for the
part. The touch was added by the
person to whom the trial means more
than a seat in high heaven—a woman
whose son is on trial for his life.
The stage had been appropriately
set for the dramatic effect. The au
dience had a man of unquestioned
wealth back of him. with a little girl

Atlanta’s most noted criminal law
yers confronted a young prosecutor
and a young lawyer who Is seeking
the accolade of the bar.
A cornfield “nigger’’ had told his
simple story. There was even the
air of minstrelsy in his testimony,
though it was as black as the charge
against the man who looked on him
calmly and unafraid during the min
utes and hours in which he spoke
words that helped the opposition in
its desire to fasten a rope around
his neck.
This same man had sat soolly when
another negro, a being of a different
type, had told a story as sinister as
Satan, as awful as the wrath of .Jove.
He sat, and without noticeable change
of expression, heard this being ac
cuse him of a deed as dark as mur
der.
And all through this ordeal a wom

Her eyes had fared his accusers.
They had faced them boldly. Her
bearing was remarkable.

McDermott, Chicago Congress
man, Accused in Connection
With Loan Shark Legislation.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.—Startled
by the testimony of T. H. McMichael.
former chief page of the House, con
cerning the official conduct of Repre
sentative James T. McDermott, of
Illinois, the Hon** 4 Lobby Investigat
ing Committee has decided, it is said,
to make a preliminary report on Mc
Dermott 10 the House at the earliest
possible opportunity. 1
This report will be separate from
the committee’s proposed general re
port on the subject of lobbying, and
when it is presented it will'be in
order for any member of the House
to move fox McDermott’s expulsion.
If such a motion is made, it will be
necessary for the House to vote di
rectly on the question. According to
the rules, a two-third«i vote of the
membership is necessary to expul
sion.
Loan Sharks Raise Funds.
Whether such action will be taken
depends largely on the testimony of
four pawnbrokers of the District of
Columbia, who now are under sub-
pena by the committee. These pawn
brokers, according to McMieb&eb
raised a fund to defeat the District
loan shark bill, which passed Congress
some time ago.*
McMichael testified that McDer
mott made a trip to the Hotel Na
varre. New York City, and there he
says he learned the money, or part of
it. was turned over to McDermott.
McMichael admitted he never saw A
cent of the allee^d fund.
It was learned to-day that mem
bers of the committee believe this
phase of McMichael's teytlmofty is
the most serious matter they have
yet disclosed and constitutes a direct
accusation of bribery^ Future testi
mony, they admitted, might entirely
disprove this.
Searchlight on McDermott.
Acting on this theory, the general
Investigation of lobbies which they
have been conducting was to-day
turned entirely into an Investigation
of McDermott’s persoal conduct.
The committee may go into a re
port of a liquor lobby raising cor
ruption funds to defeat the reforms
proposed during the close of the
Cannon regime. which precipitate/.!
the so-called rules fight.
That Andrew J. Gfubb’s death was
not a suicide is the statement made by
members of his family, who assert that
it resulted from an overdose of strych
nine, which the deceased had taken on
account of heart trouble.
Mr Grubb died Tburwlay morning at
the family home on DeKalb avenue.
North Decatur, while the other mem
bers of his family were attending the
funeral of his favorite sister, Mrs. So
phia Smith. Owing to the condition of
his heart, Mr. Grubb had remained at
home, fe-arful lest he be overcome at the
funeral. At home with him was his
19-year-old son., Harvey Grubb.
According to his family. Mr. Grubb
had suffered with heart trouble for
many eyars and had been compelled to
take strychnine to get relief. The only
In which he could get the strych
nine without a doctor's prescription was
to tell the pharmacist that he wanted It
for the purpose of killing a dog. Thurs
day morning he obtained the strychnine
in this manner, which his family says
started the suicide rumor.
