COURT DEPOSES j
WILLIAM SULZER
REMOVED FROM OFFICE BY THE
HIGH COURT OF IMPEACHMENT
BY BIG VOTE.
THE VOTE WAS 43 TO 12
___
Martin H. Glvnn. Lieutenant ftnuernne
Sworn in to Succeed
Sulzer.
?I j
Albany, N. V.? William Sulzer has
ceased to be governor of the state
of New York. He was removed from
office by the high court or impeachment
by a vote of 4o to 1J, two members
not voting.
Martin II. Glynn, lieutenant governor,
was sworn in as bis successor, the
llrst in the histqry of the state to step
into its high office in this manner.
The verdict of the court was that
Sulzer was guilty of falsification, perjury
and an attempt to suppress evidence
against him. Of all other charges
he was acquitted, the court unanimously
voting him not guilty of the
four remaining articles of the impeachment.
By a virtually unanimous vote, also,
the impeachment tribunal decided that
Sulzer should not be punished by disqualification
to hold office of honor
and trust in this state in the future.
This would have been extreme penalty
under the law.
The ousted executive was served
with a copy of the court's verdict at
the executive mansion?christened by
himself, "the people's house."
"Good! 1 thank you," he said to the
sergeant at arms of the senate, who
delivered the document.
Mr. Sulzer, private citizen, will leave
the capitol; where he will go, he has
not disclosed.
The incoming governor issued a
statement in which he said his endeavor
would be "to give the people
of the state an honest, peaceful, pro
stcs' recommendations are the result
of an intimate study of the pension
system maintained abroad. In suggesting
the adoption of pensions in
the United States, Doctor Sles declared
for the Scotch system.
15 Girls to Visit Washington.
Washington.?Fifteen girls, one from
each of lifteen Southern states, will
visit Washington, probably on December
11, as a reward for their success
in being awarded first place in
the girl's canning club ntute contests,
the department of agriculture announced.
Women agents of the canning
clubs will assemble here at the
same time and will net as clinperones
for the girls. The department estimates
that 25,000 girls have been enrolled
In the canning clubs of the
Southern states this vear

gressive and wise conduct of public
affairs."
At the session of the court, which
lasted little more than an hour, most
of the members recorded their votes
without explanation and much of the
ponderous formality required by the
rules of procedure was dispensed
with. Presiding Judge Cullen, who
voted "not guilty" on every article
of impeachment, stuck to his convictions
to the last. lie asked to be excused
from voting on the removal of
the governor, and following out his
logic, made a similar request on the
vote for disqualification.
28 PERSONS KILLED IN AIR
Germany's Dirigible Balloon Explodes
900 Feet in Air and All Killed.
Berlin.?Twenty-eight persons were
killed near Johannisthal, in the explosion
and fall of Count Zeppelin's
latest dirigible balloon, the "L-1I."
The twenty-eight men represented the
entire personnel of the admirality
board which was to conduct the final
triul of the dirigible looking to its
acceptance by the government as a
new unit of the German aerial navy,
the pilot and crew and invited guests.
ISvery person that went aloft in the
big dirigible is dead.
Twenty-seven of them were killed
almost instantly by the explosion of
gas in the balloon, or burned to death
as the flaming wreck fell to the
ground from a height of 900 feet and
enveloped them. One iqan, Lieutenant
Huron von Hleul o? the Ouoon An- ,
gustu Grenadier Guards, a guest- of
the adnilrnlity hoard, wok extricated
alive from the mass of twisted wreckage.
His eyes were burned out uud
he suffered other terrible hurts. Hegglng
his rescuers to kill him and end
Ids sufferings he was taken to a hospital,
where he died.
The disaster occurred just above
the main street of Joluiunlsthal while
the dirigible, 500 feet long, was making
a trial preliminary to its acceptance
ns a flagship of the new German
aerinl navy. The shattered hulk
of the airship, a mass of blazing canvas
and crumpled aluminum, dropped
000 feet into the public highway. Hundreds
of people who had been watching
the flight rushed to the scene.
There was nothing to be done excopt
to take out the bodies of the vitcims
from the wreckage.
Pensions for School Teachers.
Washington.? Pensions for teachers
in the public schools, to be derived

NEARLY A THOUSAND MEN
BEGAN WORK.
About Five Hundred Were Rescued.
Forty Thousand Persons Surrounded
Mouth of Pit.
Cardiff. Wales. \ disaster, possibly
the greatest in the history of the
South Wales coal Holds, whose annals
are blistering with terrib'e catastrophes,
occurred through an explosion
in the Universal colliery near here.
Shortly after the day shift of 931 men
entered the mine an explosion shattered
the works.
During the day and early in the
| night about five hundred miners were
brought to the surface alive.
After midnight rescuing parties began
to get the fire under control and
at 2:30 o'clock next morning twenty
more men were found alive at the bottom
of the pit. This gave hope that
others may he found, hut there is still
a probability that nearly four hundred
men perished.
Including the bodies recovered and
those killed at the pit head the known
death roll numbers lf>. Doctors with
oxygen and mediatnents descended the
shaft. A crowd of nearly forty thousand
distracted persons surrounded
the pit head all night and another five
thousand waited for news
So violent was the detonation that
the coutnry for miles around was
shaken as though by an earthquake,
and from the severity of the shock
it was feared that all the entombed
men had been burned to death or
been blown to bits, making the disaster
the worst in the history of Wales.
Cardiff trembled from the shock, tire
followed the explosion and smoke
rolled from the mouth of the mine.
UNITED STATES DISPLEASED
United States Will Not Accept Coming
Elections in Mexico as Legal.
Washington.- The United States government
informed Provisional President
Huerta that it looked with abhorrence
and amazement upon his assumption
of both executive and legislative
powers in Mexico and that in
view of his course could not regard
as constitutional the elections planned
for October 26.
Two notes, one strongly phrased and
written by Secretary Bryan, inquiring
about the safety of imprisoned members
of the Mexican congress, and the I
other drawn in forceful language by
President Wilson himself and said to
constitute practically the last efforts
of the Washington government to deal
with the Huerta authorities by diplomatic
means unless there is a decided
change of spirit 6n the part of the oflicials
in Mexico City, were seut to the
Mexican president.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Washington.?Germany's decision to
dispatch a warship to Mexicun waters
attracted wide attention in official circles
here. No intimation had beer,
received here of Germany's intention,
and President Wilson was informed
oulv bv nress disniitclies nf flir> no.
tion.
No formal comment was made on
the incident, but it was apparent that
the Washington government was not
displeased. The sending of a German
warship is in line with the policy
of other European governments
which had vessels cruising off the
Mexican coasts from time to time during
critical moments of Mexico's internal
strife.
Significance was attached to the action
by ofticial Washington, however,
because it was accepted as indicating
that European powers who previously
had recognized the Huerta government?among
which were Germany
and Great Ilritain?now saw evidences
of lluerta's inability to compose
the situation.

McAdoo Says Banks Will Enter.
