SULZER NO LONC GOVERNOl Removed From Office I Be Disqualified Fro in New York Si Albany, x. Y.. Oct. 16.?Governor i William Sulzer to-day was found : guilty by the high Court of Impeach- < rnent on three of the articles prefer- ] red against him. They were Articles : Nos 1, 2 and 4. He was declared 1 innocent of the charges contained in Article 3. < To-morrow he will be removed < from office, but not disqualified from i holding office in this State in the 1 future, unless there is a substantial ! < change in the informal vote reported to have been taken to-day by the : Court on these questions in secret < session. i 1 I For the same reason it was expect- i \ ed that he will be found not guilty ] on the other four articles still remaining to be voted on when the ] Court adjourned to-night. J i Glynn to Become Chief. ! < Lieutenant Governor Martin H. 1 Glynn, who has been acting Governor < since the impeachment of Sulzer, will i become Chief Executive of the State. He is an Albany newspaper owner. I Robert F. Wagner, a New York at- ( torney, will become Lieutenant Gov- ' ernor. He is the majority leader in : the Senate. The vote on Articles 1 and 2 was j ^ 39 to 18, a bare two-thirds majority, i 1 The former article charges that the j Governor falsified his statement of j campaign contributions; the latter ^ charges that he committed perjury ic in so doing. 'I Suppressea ttviaence. The vote on Article 3, which charg-! es the Governor bribed witnesses to j ? vith-hold testimony from the Fraw- i ley investigation committee, was 1 unanimous in favor of the Governor. ^ The vote on Article 4 was 43 to 14, i six members changing their votes on Articles 1 and 2 from "not guilty" to * "guilty," and two from "guilty" to ' not guilty." This article charges ; that the Governor suppressed evi- j1 aence by means of threats to keep | * witnesses from testifying before the! Frawley committee. Among these t was Duncan W. Peck, State Superin- f tendent of Public works, who testifi ed at the trial that the Governor had asked him to commit perjury. j2 The secret informal vote to re- 1 move the Governor was said to be! * i 43 to 14-, the 6ame as on Article 4, j and the vote not to disqualify him was said to be unanimous. | c Speculation Charge. t Article 6, which charges that the + Governor committed larceny in spec- s ulating with his campaign contribu- ? tions, was said not to have been sus- j tained in the secret session by a j y vote of 50 declaring the Governor < "not guilty" to seven against him. j t Voted not Guilty Presiding Judge Edgar M. Cullen, ? who will shortly retire from the t bench, voted "not guilty" on every ( article and rendered a long opinion < in explaining his votes. The other ( eight Judges of the Court of Appeals were divided. On Articles 1 and 2 , Judges Willard Bartlett, Emory A j Chase and William E. Werner voted i ^ for the Governor and against him | voted Judges Frederick Collin, Wil- i liam H. Cuddeback, John W. Hogan, < Frank H. Hiscock and Nathan L. Mil- , j ler, making a division among them ( of 5 to 4 against the Governor. On Article 4 Judges Bartlett, j y Chase and Werner changed their votes from "not guilty," to "guilty," j < and Judges Hiscockand Millerchang- j . ed from "guilty" to "not guilty,"! ( making against him a division of 6 ] to 3. " Votes on Article 1 Explained. Presiding Judge Cullen held that the offences charged in Articles 1 ! and 2 were not impeachable and that i! the Governor neither falsified his statement under the provisions of the election law, nor committed "legal perjury." I Practically every member of the j 1 Court explained his vote on Article 1, ! although those who voted in favor of i the Governor did not enter at length into discussion of the merits of the ', case or of the matters of law and precedent involved, as did the others. I including all the Judges. The latter filed with the Court lengthy opinions i ( in support of their votes. j j * One of the Judges, Nathan L. Mil- I. ler, who was designated to the Court ( of Appeals bench by Sulzer, denounc- j ed him as "totally unfit for office." i Harsh Opinions Expressed. Several of the Senators also expressed harsh opinions of Sulzer. : Senator Sase declared that the $10. 000 of Thomas F, Ryan was given to ; the Governor because he was "use- : ful in Congress and as a retainer for : services to be rendered in his new position." !' Senator Wagner, Democratic lead-! er of the Senate, rendered a long le- j; ^ER R OF NEW YORK ^ast Friday.?Will Not 'in Holding Office :ate in Future. ?al opinion in which he sought to refute the contention that the offences ?harged in Ar. 1 and 2 were not impeachable because they are acts committed before the Governor took office. Senator Elon R. Brown, Republican leader, read a similar lengthy __-1- : 1 * jpiniun %m which uti umuhcu ms vuic in connection with tht tact that he had been politically opposed to the Governor. Senators Wende and Duhamel, stanch supporters of the Governor 2ver since he was impeached, spoke Driefly. Senator Duhamel announced :hat he might file a statement of lis position at some future day. Senator Frawlny, chairman of the egislative invsetigating committee, vhich first brought the charges igainst the Governor, announced that le would attempt to "pass no opinion is to the rights of the Court to im)each or not." Guilty on Article 4. Albany, N. Y., Oct. 16.?Governor 5ulzer was found guilty on Article 1, which charged that he suppressed evidence against himself. The vote vas 43 to 14. At the close of this rote adjournment was taken until 10.30 to-morrow morning. This was the article which the ;ourt held was broad enough to jover the testimony of Duncan W. .^eck, that the Governor asked him to jerjure himself if he was called beore the Frawley committee. Votes of guilty followed one an>ther until Presiding Judge Cullen's lames was called. He cast the first *ote of not guilty. Senator Duhamel remained loyal o the Governor, but Senator Emer;on changed from "not guilty" to guilty." Mr. Heacock again voted vith the Governor, but Senator Her 'ick went against him for the first ime by casting a ballot of guilty.

Adjournment was then taken until 10.30 to-morrow morning. WRANGLE OVER TILLMAN'S COW Smoot Would Have it Out of Permanent Records. Washington, Oct. 16.?Ever since Senator Tillman's allegorical cow article appeared in the Congressional Record there has been an amusing intermittent wrangle in the Senate because of Senator Smoot's objection to the appearance of cartoons in the permanent record. The Utah Senator, who is chairman of the joint committee of Congress on printing, declares that he will take the matter up in his committee. Senator Fletcher, who is chairman of Senate committee on printing, says that he obtained unanimous consent from the Senate for the reproduction of the article in the Record. As the cow has already been printed under a Senate order it is difficult to se what a mere comr\ + o nliotl Or a ll or ctn fll Q Ill 1 UCC V UU1U UU IV ^/v^vvw/ and wagers are being freely laid that she "stays put." The general rule has been not to admit cartoons to the permanent record, but Senator Tillman's cow had the advantage of unanimous consent, which is above all rules. NAUGHTY WOMAN; GOOD CIGAR Passenger Saved from Adventuress by Havana's Ashes. | A gentleman was traveling in : France. He was occupying a firstj class compartment and was smoking J an excellent cigar. At a certain staI tion a woman was admitted to the I compartment who was very elegantly attired. The gentleman continued to smoke his cigar without any violation of conventions, and manifested tol ward the woman a courteous and rej spectful indifference. This seemed j not to please her, and she began to make efforts to attract his attention. He appeared not to notice them and she then attempted to engage him in conversation. The gentleman courI teously resisted the advances and re| mained in his place calmly smoking his cigar. The train moved on for a consider I able distance with the two occupying J the compartment. The woman con| tinued to make efforts to attract the gentleman's attention and used all the wiles of her sex to accomplish her purposes. The gentleman, however, was skillful at resistance and consistently refused to converse with her. The woman's pride was aroused and she determined that she would wreak vengeance upon her uncongenial compaion. Calculating in her mind as to what she might do to accomplish this purpose, she decided upon a very bold plan. While the train was moving along at a moderate speed she gave forth several loud screams. The nearest guard soon enterd the compartment and found her lying on a seat. When asked what had occurred to her she accused the gentleman sharing the compartment with having struck and insulted her. The gurrd immediately called in the officials of the train . and the woman told them a story of advanqes being made to her by her fellow traveler, who she asserted had attempted to engage her in conversa- ' tion repeatedly until she had been forcd to insist that he desist, and that he thereupon had struck her and had insulted her. The officials became indignant and started to lay hands on the gentleman intending to arrest him and turn him over to the police authorities at the next station. The gentleman had sat calinlv all during this time without speaking a word, uut when the guards started to arrest him he stretched forth a hand calmly with a restraining gesture, and said: "Listen to me but for a moment. When that lady entered this compart- { ment I had just begun to smoke this cigar. I have been smoking it ever since she "came in. It has not been out of my mouth or out of my hand. Look at it," and taking the cigar in his hand, he held it before him. "It is two-thirds smoked, and yet the ashes are intact. Now, gentlemen, if I had struck this lady as she asserts, the ashes would not have clung to the cigar, but they would have been scattered throughout the compartment." Then the gentleman stated how the woman had attempted to engage him in conversation and how he had courteously resisted her advances, until she had aroused the officials by her screams and had pretended to be struck. The commander of the train accepted the gentleman's statement, the n-nman nlaeed under arrest. ( 11UU tiiV/ n vyiiiw.** ? v. , and at the next station she was turned over to the police officers, who. upon making an investigation, discovered that she was an adventuress. The gentleman continued his jour| ney in peace, grateful that he had | been saved from the wiles of a wickI ed woman through the faithfulness of a good cigar.?Trend Magazine. -* -#?
