Albany, Oct. 17—Governor Sulzer was found guilty by the high court of impeachment on three counts pre- ferred against him. They were one, iwo and four. A unanimous vote de- elared him innocent of charges in article three, that he bribed witness- es to withhold testimony from the Frawley investigating Today he will be removed from office but not disqualified from holding of- fice in this state in the,future, un- less there is a substantial change in the informal vote, reported taken by the court on these questions in gecret session today. For the same reason it s expected that he will be found not quilty on the other four articles still remaining to be voted -upon when the court adjourned last nlght Lieutenant Governor Martin Glynn, who has been acting govern- or since the impeachment, becomes the state’s chief executive. Robert Wagner, New York attorney and ma- jority leader in the senate will be- eome lieutenant governor. Bare Two-Thirds Vote on articles one and two was 39 tol8, a bare two-tHirds majority The former article charges the gover- mor falsified in a statement of the sampaign contributions, the latter that he committed perjury in so do- ing. The vote on article four was 43 % 14,, six members changing their votes on articles one and two from “mot guilty” to “guilty.” and, two from ‘“‘guilty” to “not guilty.” This article charges that the governor suppressed evidence by means of threats to keep witnesses from tes- tifying before the Frawely commit- tee. committee. NEW RATES ON NOVEMBER 1 Interstate Travel Will No Longer Worry Bemidji Citizens Beginning Nov. 1, patrons of the Soo and the Great Northern who wish to travel to any Minnesota point will have to worry no longer as to whether or not the road is all interstate or otherwise. Up to this time, if one was not “wise” to con- ditions and desired to travel, a ticket purchased from Bemidji might be labeled “interstate” and therefore ‘would mean that the old 3-cent fare would be charged. However, if one ‘were wise and purchased a ticket to Cloquet, for instance or some com- petive point and then kept within the state, the rate was, according to the order of the court, only 2 cents a mile. And that was the technical point whicgh worried Bemidjians. However, beginning Nov. 1, the roads mentioned will put into effect the 2-cent pasenger rate between points within the state. The two roads and also the Northern Pacific have filed scedules with the inter- #tate commerce commission in accor- dance with the returns of the famous Minnesota rate case. & Mallay to Recite. o Thomas Malloy, former city clerk, will give a recitation, “Kelly, Burke and Shea”, at the Catholic entertain- ment to be given at the Grant theatre 4his evening.

From pictures taken of the body while it was in the Ibertson morgue, Sherman Bailey, at one time chief of the Bemidji police, Dr. W. R. Mor- rison, formerly of Bemidji but now of Billings, Montana, and William Pickles are confident that the dead man is none other than Potter. No sooner had the picture of the! murdered man been shown Dr. Mor- rison, who is in Bemidji today on a short visit, then he exclaimed, “Why that is the face of a man name Pot- | ter. I remember him well.” The doctor then told of his having been called to aid a women who had : attempted suicide eight years ago,! the wife of the man known as Potter She was found in a serious condi- tion, but “affer’ Wworking over her three hours, her life was saved. She afterwards told of Her husband be- ing a crook anda sneak thief, and as she felt the only way to keep out of trouble, in which her husband was sure to place her, she had attempted ' to kill herself. At the time of the attempted su- cide Bailey was chief of police and he recalls many instances where Pot- ter gave trouble 'to’ the police, and says that he was a sneak theif of the lowest type. The three men named and others in Bemidji are positive they ecan prove the murdered man is none other than Potter. AUTO CLUB MEETS TONIGHT Plans To Be Made To Raise Present Indebtedness.

Phis theory was given credence when it was learned that the un- hnoivn man found dead on the rail- run;l track near Bena a few days ago is believed by detectives to be one of the robbers. When the man was found there was nothing to reveal his identity and he was buried in the potter’s field at Bena. Later a man who was believed to be a detective called on the coroner and presenting a photo- graph asked if the likeness resembl- ed the man who was found. He was informed that it did. Following this the body was disinterred and ex- amined closely. There was a strong resemblance. At the time of the Bean murder rumors of the affair were heard in Bemidji but detectives worked as carefully as possible and refused to givé out any information relative to the? finding of a second body. The opinion of the detectives lead them to believe that through fear of exposure or a disagreement in the distributing of the ‘“spoils,” led to| the murders NINE.IOIN ANTLERED TIHBE: : Initiation- is Followed by Socia.l Session—Speeches Made = by Prominent Elks. “CRUB” COMMITTEE = CREDITED Nine men braved the onslaught of local Elks last evening and became members of the order.

Those attending were united to a man in wrging this much needed movement, In speaking of the proposed pro- ject Col. Potter.said. “The Govern- ment looks upon this proposition from a business viewpoint entirely. First: will the business warrant it; and Secondly: Will neighboring communities?” No Stone Unturned After outlining what must be sub- mitted in his report he called upon W. F. Dickens and invited all to take part in the discussion. Assuming the tactics of a schrewd attorney, Col. Potter left no stone - unturned in firing questions which' ‘brough out the points needed for or against the feasibility of harbor construction. “There are about 300,000,000 feet of pine lo Der cent of which must be delivered to market by’ way of the Red Lake;"” said Superintendent - Dikins; in urgs ing the harbor movement. “There is also considerable cedar and pulp wood, the marketing of which has been handicapped by inefficient wa- ter way transportation facilities.” In addition to the lumber products immense agricultural 'developements now im progress, making special mention of the way the hay wastage and large potato crops, Molander Talks AL, Molander general manager of the Red Lake road clearly outlined' the manner. freight must he handled' B ing the additional expense which is a. burden,to the residents. now in that community.
