LANCASTER, S. C., FRIIL ;ULZER IS STRIPPED OF ALL HIS POWERS upreme Court Justice Decides E: Impeachment is Regular. IAS NO PARDON RIGHTS A I I Question Arose When Legality of Im- C< pencil men t Was Brought lip in Connection With Habeas Corpus. Kingston, N. Y.. Sept. 11.?Jus- ' lee Hasbrouek. of the state supreme nc ourt. today decided that Governor ulzer was regularly impeached and .-bile awaiting impeachment trial .af as dlivested of the right to exercise 're is executive functions, including q, he power of pardon. The question of the legality of . lulzer's impeachment came before u ustice Hasbrouek in connection with ar iabeas corpus proceed in -s brought se o compel the New York city author- ' s0 Lies to honor Governor Sulzer's paron of Joseph G. Robin, the bank conict. He decided that Robip's parIon was invalid, quashed the writ, o' ,nd sent Robin back to prison. m Attorneys representing Sulzer and tobin had argued that the impeachment was illegal because voted by N< he assembly at a special session, te I'hich was not called expressly to de- fo lde that question. The court re- re used to sustain this contention. The m lecision upheld the argument of the T1 few York corporation counsel who a maintained that the assembly when fe t impeached acted in a judicial and ai lot a legislative capacity and was ui iroperly in session. at The assembly voted to impeach lovernor Sulzer August 13. Ai- th hough it was reported immediately hat the governor would seek to hi iverturn the assembly's action by la ecourse to the courts, Justice Has- bj >rouck's decision today was the first y, uling made by any court on the egality of the impeachment. io Argument on the validity of the to vrit of habeas corpus was heard donday. The points raised were w Governor Sulzer impeached and, rc vhether he was divested of his pow- ej >rs pending trial. hi "The subject of 1mpeachme?*,".?m lays Judge Hasbrouck, "like the ct lower of a legislative body to pun- hi sh for contempt, has a different :liaracter from a subject requiring w he action of both branches of the it egislature and the governor in order tl hat laws may be enacted. "The power conferred upon the tn tssembly to impeach the governor is p) t judicial power. The power of im- t jeachment, therefore, cannot be par- b .lcipated in by the governor or sen- g ite, and therefore, does not consti- jj :ute a legislative subject." ft Taking up the claim that even if ei iroperly impeached, disability does m lot fall upon the governor, Justice p, JI-- A.*-- * naauiuuun uiaiUBBfH lilt* COniPnilOIl \V :hat the law still presumes the inno- h cence of the impeached. o "There Is a wide difference between the state and the national con- n ititutions on the result of the 1m- ti peachment of the governor or Presl- vv lent. The President, by impeach- n ment, Is not suspended in or ousted w >f his functions, and, therefore, the Cj pule of the presumption of innocence a remains undisturbed. Under our it constitution, if our interpretation of 0 It be correct, this fundamental rule In the criminal law is invalid." n The question, he points out, is sec- S( Lion six of article four of the state f( constitution that in cases of the im- a peachment of the governor or his re- n moval from office by death, inability. 0 stc., the powers shall devolve upon tl the lieutenant governor, "until the s, Usability shall cease." Judge Hasbrouck says: x "The presumption of Innocence may still be claimed by the accused, ^ but he is quite as effectually shorn p pf his power by the provision, which %v needs no interpretation, and which y is perfectly clear, as if a judgment j nf eviction had been passed against j, bim, unless he is acquitted. For what is disability following impeach- p ment under this section by suspen- tj slon, and what is suspension but re- ^ moval from office *> If uenmu fie 11 n _ justifiable and unreasonable provis- () Ion. For delay In the prosecution to y the end of the term, works the same n result in the main that judgment of removal would, and delays in such proceedings have been known to be 0 long.

I unplrtely Overturns Poltioal Situation in New York ami Removes Anti-Tammany Cantlitlate. New York, Sept. 11.?Mayor Gayir died on the steamer Baltic In ! idocean at 1 o'clock Wednesday ternoon, according to a cablegram : celved here today from Rufus W. tynor, his son. News of his death was received re in a message sent by wireless in cable to Robert Adamson his ( cretary, by Rufus W. Gavnor, his j n, who sailed with him. The message read as follows"Father died Wednesday at 1 clock of heart failure. Notify \ other." 1 Mayor Gavnor sailed away from } r>w York on the morning of Sep- f mber 4 on the Baltic. An hour b??- , re he sailed but one man, his see- , tarv, knew of his plans, outside of , embers of his immediate family. | lie mayor's announced purpose was brief vacation on the ocean. Tie \ 1? that the tonic effect of the salt ] r would restore him in some tneas- ] *e to health. The Baltic was due | Queenstown today. , The mayor died as he was nearing j ie other side. The news of his , >ath was sent by wireless to fux- , iven by Rufus W. Gavnor and re- , yed from Cuxhaven to New Yorl: ] r cable. Mayor Gavnoh left New ork at a time when the city was ething in one of the strangest munipal political campaigns in its his- i 'ITThe day before his departure he as notified on the city hall steps by i presentatives of independent politi- i il conditions that they had chosen Im as their standard-hearer in the ayorality campaign. A throng that owded city hall park assembled to t?ar him accept. He had prepared a jeech of acceptance, hut was so can tnat np was unable to deliver and his secretary read it for him, le mayor standing beside him. Before the mayor sailed his secreiry issued a statement denying rearts of the mayor's serious illness, he recurrence of the old throat troule due to the wound inflicted on Auust 9. 1910, by James J. Gallagher, ist as he was about to leave this city >r a brief vacation in Europe, had otlrely disappeared. according to tr. Adamson, and the mayor expect1 to return and enter the campaign ith his old-time vigor. The mayor imself, just before leaving, spoke f his condition as follows: "I have been nearly four years layor and have not had any vaeaon. I suppose almost everybody ill concede that I may have one ow. I have been laid up a few days ith one of the sharp attacks I ocasionally have from my mishap of few years ago, but I am now over . and hope I never shall have anther." He was expected to attack Tainlany Hall sharply, politically, as ' ion as he returned to the city. Reire his departure he issued a charcteristic statement, levelled at Tamlany Hall leaders and other political pponents, in which he referred to hem as "miserable scamps," and aserted that they were seeking his moral assassination " The bullet that lodged In his hroat three years ago had never een removed. It was the mayor's lan to remain abroad less than a eek. lie expected to sail for New ork from Liverpool on September 8 and to reach this city a week iter. Mayor Gaynor's sudden death comletelv overturns the municipal poliical situation. It removes from the eld a candidate for mayor who was xpected to cut heavily into the vote f the fusion nominee, John Purroy litchel, and leaves only the tickets ominated by the Democrats and the isionists The former is headed by Idward E. McCall, former chairman f the public service commission of lis district. The mayor's renomination was rought about by no particular politiil faction or party, but represented nly his personal popularity. Polttilans who discussed his death today xpected that his followers would lake no attempt to nominate a canidate in his place. No other places n the Gaynor ticket have yet been lied. Mayor Gaynor was placed at the ead of the Independent ticket, after ammanv Hall had refused him a reominatton. He was to lead those ho opposed the regular Democratic rganization and yet were unwilling ) Join the fusion of Republicans and Togressives. His standard was the hovel, reminding voters of his efforts ) hasten the building of the new iibways. The mayor also said it was mblematic of his intention to "clean le grafters out." The passing of Mayor Gaynor realled the sudden death of Henry eorge, of single tax fame and a aird party candidate, almost on the ?r I, ve of the New York mayoralty elec- n ion some years ago. I Secretary Adamson received the U ablegram announcing the mayor's 1(*<1 til while lie was at his homo it. Brooklyn. Mr. Adamson notified Irs. Gayuor at the mayor's country tome at St. James and then enleavored to reach by telephone Idolph K. Kline, t!i?* acting mayor, vho will be New York's chief execuive until the inauguration of Mayor Jaynor's successor to be elected in November. In seeking Colonel Kline he was F insuccessf ul. Colonel Kline had eft the home of his son-in-law after in early breakfast and at 10 o'clock >1 lad not heard of the mayor's death. \t that hour the flags on the city hall vere half-masted by Mr. Adamson's irders. Mayor Gavnor's death recalls the lv ittempt on his life in August of 1010. | In that occasion the mayor had do < < dded to take a brief vacation abroad i c< inder much the same circumstances v is those under which he left here a ol veek ago. He was standing on the f( ieck of the steamer Kaiseh Wllhelm ti ler Grosse, talking with friends, and tt he center of a group of city officials h it the time. I ii Into this friendly gathering James tl f. Gallagher, the would-bt assassin, p made his way unobserved When r< dose to the mayor he dre a re- w /olver and fired a shot. The bullet el jenetrated Mr. Gaynor's throat. He |s suffered from this injury for many n weeks, but finally recovered to a suf- o| ficient degree to enable him to re- I Dime his duties and was apparently a) tone the worse for his experience until recently when the wound be- n atan to trouble him again. n Gallagher had been dismissed from 0 the dock department of the city of N'pw York under Mayor Gaynor and liad repeatedly endeavored to induce the mayor to reinstate him. For his r, prime he was sentenced to 12 years' tj imprisonment. After little more than (i it year iu prison he was transferred to the New Jersey state hospital for s] the insane at Trenton and died there w last February. t] v Hotly Will be Taken to Liverpool. tl London.
