Impeachment Bill Against Mayor Woodward Is Being Prepared

BIG GAINS ARE CLAIMED BY FRENCH
Fill* 111™''"“' SOUTHERN LEAGUE
Impeachment proceedings will be
preferred against Mayor Woodward
at the adjourned meeting of the City
Council Monday afternoon, in all
probability.
Following the action of the confer
ence of Councilmen in the office of
Alderman Albert Thomson Friday
night, which was attended by ten
members, Councilman Charles W.
Smith and Alderman C. H. Kelley,
acting as a committee appointed oy
the conference, proceeded Saturday to
draw a bill of impeachment against
the Mayor. It will be on the grounds
that the Mayor failed to do his duty
in declining to preside over the elec
tion of a City Purchasing Agent.
In addition to the ten men who at
tended the conference, the opponents
of Mayor Woodward claim nine more
certain votes, and they state they are
confident of securing the necessary
additional one.
The Mayor's Views.
% Friends of Mayor Woodward, who
have been inclined to treat lightly
the impeachment talk, said Saturday
that they now realized the situation
to be serious. Mayor Woodward him
self said:
"It is entirely too much fuss over
such a little matter. I declined to
preside over the election because
Council's authority to elect a Pur
chasing Agent was not brought about
in a legal way. 1 know ‘here are
some members of Council -who would
put me out without any charges, 11
they could; but I know there are
enough conservative men there to
block any foolish action."
Some weeks ago City Purchasing
Agent W. E. Chambers, on the advtce
of Mayor Woodward, turned down tne
lowest bid for brick for the pavement
of South Pryor street, the low bidder
being Shelby Smith. Council had
asked for the bids, and Council pro
ceeded to override the Mayor and ac
cept Mr. Smith’s bid.
Immediately after this action,
Councilman Smith offered an amend
ment to the ordinance creating the
purchasing agent which would take
the appointment of the agent from the
Mayor and make him elective by
Council. Under the old law, the pur
chasing agent served at the pleasurt
of the Mayor, but the amendment fixed
his term at two years.
Vetoed by Mayor.
Both branches of Council voted to
gether for the amendment, but when
the aldermanic board met the follow
ing Thursday it passed it again. May
or Woodward vetoed the ordinance
some days after the meeting of the
aldermanic board.
The real fight started at the next
meeting of Council, when the point
was made that the minutes of Coun
cil showing the paper to have required
separate action were incorrect. The
point was sustained by a majority
vote of Council, and the amendment
declared a law because the Mayor had
not disapproved it within the legal
time limit. As a precaution, Council
with both bodies again voting togeth
er, later went through the form of
overriding the Mayor's veto.
Two weeks later, which was Mon
day, Mayor Woodward declined to
preside when Councilman Smith call
ed for an election of a purchasing
ag Both City Attorney James L. May-
son and Assistant City Attorney W.
D. Ellis, Jr., sustain the action of
Council, and they have advised that
Council must submit or start im
peachment proceedings.
PARIS, May 22.—General mob
ilization of all Italian troops was
decreed this afternoon, according
to a dispatch from Rome.
A manifesto was issued at Rome
this afternoon calling to the col
ors all classes of Italian soldiers.
By FRANKLIN P. MERRICK.
(Special Correspondent International
News Service.)
PARIS, May 22.—Steady progress is
being made by the French in their
smashing drive against the Germans
north of Arras, but the invaders are
fighting stubbornly and are contest
ing every inch of ground. Fresh
progress for the French between Ar
ras and LaBassee is reported in an of
ficial communique issued by the War
Office to-day.
The Germans delivered fierce coun
ter attacks in an effort to regain the
lost ground, but these were repulsed
with heavy losses.
Particularly violent night attacks
were delivered by the Germans in an
effort to retake the White Way, a
fortified position on one of the five
southern ridges of Lorette hill, which
was captured by the French yester
day. This gave the entire Lorette
hill and the lesser ridges, which had
been held by the Germans for six
months, to the French.
Italian “War Bill”
Is Signed by King
By BRIXTON D. ALLAIRE.
(Special Correspondent International
News Service.)
ROME, May 22.—The “war bill” is
a law. Italy Is one step nearer hos
tilities. King: Victor Emmanuel to
day signed the measure conferring
upon the Cabinet full power to act. It
went into effect immediately. Par
liament has adjourned and the Cabi
net is supreme.
Announcement that the King had
signed the "war bill” was greeted
with cheers from a crowd of 100,000
persons gathered in the public square.
A great proceeslon immediately
formed, and, headed by bands, the
crowd marched to the various depart
ment offices, cneering for the King,
the Ministers and for France, Eng
land and Russia.
The Cabinet wer.t into session at
10:30 o’clock, immediately after it
was announced that King Victor Em
manuel had signed the “war bill.”
Italy’s declaration of war is still
withheld, but it is expected that a
royal decree, signed by King Victor
Emmanuel, and giving notice to the
world of this nation’s entrance into
the European conflict on the side of
England. Fran and Russia, will be
issued before night.
A council of war was held last night
at which Gerteral Zupelli, the Minis
ter of War, announced that all mili
tary preparations have been made
and that Italy Is now ready to strike.

LONDON, May 22.—Lord Kitch
ener has refused to retire from
the war secretaryship under fire.
He has decided to fight his foes to
a finish. His friends declared to
day that Kitchener had the full
backing of Premier Asquith, For
eign Secretary Grey and Chancel
lor Lloyd-George, the powerful
“triumvirate” of the Cabinet, and
that they had indorsed his inten
tion of staying in office.
By J. L. GARVIN.
(Editor Pall Mail Gazette.)
LONDON, May 22.—We refrained,
in the public interest, from writing
yesterday. Matters then were not
quite what this morning’s newspa
pers suggest. In the Interval they
have altered still more, and for the
worse. Astounding newspaper at
tacks upon Lord Kitchener have cre
ated an overwhelming sentiment of
public Indignation and have moved
the Secretary of War, who seemed
weaker on Wednesday, more power
ful and popular than ever to-day.
There Is no mistake about that.
No matter how circumstantial the
suggestion may seem at the moment,
it must not be assumed that Sir John
French Is in any complicity, direct or
indirect, with these attacks on his
chief. The scandal, however, must
be probed to the bottom and certain
steps have been taken to do it. It
seems to have been forgotten that
Lord Kitchener is still Minister of
War. with full powers fhas it been
remembered how wide they are?) be
longing to that office. In other words,
Lord Kitchener, under the King, is
head of the army, at home and
abroad.
Fundamental Iasues Raised.
Coming concurrently with other
things, fundamental issues, duty and
discipline in connection with both
services, are raised. These issues
must be clearly settled in such a
fashion that the principles of discip
line and duty involved shall never be
questioned again.
We can not have moral anarchy In
this nation in time of war, or any at
tempt to play fast and loose with re
sponsibility.
The opinions of Lord Roberts are
quoted, but they are not fully quoted.
We are in possession of another opin
ion which was held by Lord Roberts.
The country Is confronted by a po
litical situation of far greater diffi
culty and danger than was expected
last Tuesday. To And the right so
lution, it would require greater
statesmanship and goo^ Judgment as
well as thorough courage and deci
sion.
We said Wednesday that the alter
native was coalition or chaos. Now,
unless we are very careful, we shall
have both coalition and chaos. There
is no object in coalition—it could only
compromise the statesmen forming a
part of it—unless It is to mean a
definite increase in both executive ef
ficiency and national union.
