« The. Bulletin’s - Circulation- In- Norwich is IMPEACHMENT OF GOVERNOR SULZER| Resolution To That End Offered In New York Legislature By Majority Leader FOLLOWED REPORT OF FRAWLEY COMMITTEE Governos Charged With Falsification, Diverting Campaign Funds to His Own Use, Trading In Executive Approval and Blocking Committee Investigation—Report Calls Sarecky and Colwell “Dummies” and Advises Their Punishment—Long Fight Over Adoption Albany, N. Y., Aug. 11.—The re- port of the Frawley legislative com- mittee charging Governor Sulzer with having diverted campaign contribu- tions to his own private use was adopted by the legislature early today and a resolution to impeach him for “wilful and corrupt conduct in office and for high crimes and misdemean- ors” was offered in the assembly by Majority Leader Levy. Charges That Are Made. The Frawley committee report and the Levy resolution charge the gov- ernor with having falsified under oath his campaign co lbution account, di- verted some of the funds to his own use for the purchase of stock, traded executive approval of bills for sup- port of his direct primary measure and with having done everything in his power to obstruct the committee’s ef- forts to bring proof of his alleged mis- conduct to light. Sarecky and Colwell in Contempt. The adoption of the report cadrried with it a recommendation that Louis A. Sarecky and Frederick L. Colwell, who refused to answer certain ques- tions propounded by the committee’s counsel, be held in contempt of the Jegislature and punished. Sarecky and Colwell are characterized in the re- port as Governor Sulzer's dummies. Never in the history of the state has her chief executive been impeached. Fight Over Postponement. After introducing his resoluti to impeach Assemblyman Levy asked that its consideration be postponed until later today. This- motion was opposed by Minority Leader Hinman, who had championed the governor's cause, and by Assemblyman Schapp. leader of the progressives. Both . Hinman and Schapp had led a two hour fight for postponement of action on the resolu- tion to adopt the Frawley committee | report. N Soon Settled fn Senats. The fight in the 'senate over the eadoption of the report was brief, the session lasting but 45 minutes. The apper house was dark long before the question came to & vote in fhe crowd- ed assembly chamber. For two hours there a throng crowded every niche and cranny of the big chamber stood patlently and silently—save on one oc- easion—waiting for the vote. Governor Waits for the News. e light in the library of the ex- ecutive mansion was burning low and the rest of the big house was dark when the assembly voted to receive the report. Governor Sulzer Had wait- ed there all evening, contrary to his usual practice of visiting the cap- ol when the legislature is in session and heard the news over the telephone. He made no comment thereon. Expect Impeachment Today. Before the sun sets today the gov- ernor will be impeached, the majority leaders assert Governor's Friends Fought Hard. The fight over the proposed impeach- ment of the governor started with the first crack of the speaker’s gavel in the assembly chamber. For nearly three hours the Frawley committee report lay before the assembly for adoption. During that time member after mem- ber addressed the chair and spoke, not so much to the guestion of adopting the report as to the greater question each man kney would follow—the res- olution of impeachment. Pleaded to Have Evidence Heard. With every weapon at their com- mand the friends of the governor | fought every step of the way prelim. inary to the adoption of the repor Assemblyman Schaap, leader of the progressives, made a_ stirring appeal “in.the name of fair play and the hope of receiving justice which every man may reasonably entertain” for delay until the evidence gathered by the committee could be read. He asked for a delay of but tweive hours. Three Reasons for Delay. Minority Leader Hinman opposed ‘what he termed snap action on three grounds—namely, that the assembly should at least read the evidence be- fore voting: that the assembly could not impeach the governor while in extragordinary session unless called to- gether for that purpose; that the gov- ernor could not be impeoched for acts which he had committed prior to tak- ing office, but only for misconduct dur- ing his administration. “What will the people of New York think of a legislature refusing to un- seat Cohalan or Stilweil, but votes to impeach its governyr without first reading the evidence on which it bases the impeacthment?’ h asked. “Give the Governor a Chance.” Assemblyman Gibbs, democrat, stir- red the galleries to applause for the only time during the evening by ask- ing “every man in the house with red blood in his veins to give the governor a chance.” & ’ Vate 64 to 30. 3 By a vote of 64 to 30 the assembly ‘before -1-o'clock this ng irotion of Assemblyman Levy to consider today the resolution to impeach thé governor. The hous adjourned at 1).55 a. m. until 11 o’clock Tuesday. Epitome of the Main Evidence. An epitome of the main evidence brought out before the committee prefaced the statement of its conclu- slons. The afdavit of Governor Sul- zer accompanying his declaration that he received and spent only $5640, di- rectly or Indirectly, as candidate for governor, s followed by the statement that the testimony shows a much larg- er sum to have been paid to him for this purpose. The unaccounted for surplus inciuded checks for $2,500 from Jacob H. Schiff and $500 from Abram T. BElkus, in addition to various amounts, including $500 froin William F. McCombs, chaairman, and $1,000 from Henry Morganthau, chairman of the finance committee of the democrat- ic national committee, which, it is as- serted, “no one can doubt” were con- tributed specifically for campaign pur- poses, SCIENTISTS DISAGREE OVER PILTDOWN SKULL. One Man Calls It Dream of Disordered Imagination, London, Aug. 11—Public interest in the international medical congress is srowing, especially in its less technical | side. such as the discussions on eu- enics, the social evil, malinger, hered- and cognate subjects which appeal to_the people in general. Since the opening of the congress 1ast Wednesday there has been a con- tinual arrival of new delegates. Seven | ousand medals commemorative of | the gathering were struck for presen- | tation to those in attendance upon the congress, but all these have been dis- tributed ‘and another thousand will be required A discussion today of the Piltdown | =kull, which was found on Piltdown common, Sussex, last year, and since s been the subject of various theo- ries, revealed wide divergence of views. Dr. Arthur Keith, curator of the mu- seum of the Royal College of Surgeons, where the discussion was held, de- clared that the skull as modeled was an Impossible skull—in fact,, it was the dream of a disordered imagination. ! He said that if Dr. Arthur Smith | Woodward, keeper of the geological | department of the British museum at | Kensington, who constructed the skull, | was right in giving the jaws of a | chimpanzee to a skull that was human then all th erest of the world was wrong.

But Some of the Workmen Are Re- turning to Their Jccupatigns. Milan, Italy, Aug. 11.—The eighth day of the general strike in Milan was spent by the leaders in the agitation chiefly in organizing a national gen- eral strike, which was proclaimed in a manifesto today. They found their task more dificuit then they expécted. how- ever, as important sections of the workmen are opposed to it on the ground that it would be disproportion- ate to the objects soughi by the local workmen. Even in Milan some of the workers, unabie to get along without their wages or discouraged at the outlook for the strike, returncd to the factor- | les today. Their cases caused several unnecessary clashes with strikers pick- eting the factories, as the proprietors of the places were not prepared to re- sume operations, and ihe men willing to work had to be turned away. All the striking bakers returned to work today. Another meeting attended by thirty thousand strikers, was held today. It was voted to continue the strike, and | the hope was expressed that support | would be given the movement by a | national strike tomorrcw. $344,424,453 TURNED IN BY OUR VICES. i Record Breaking Year in Drinking, To- bacco Using and Card Playing. ‘Washington, Aug. 11.—The wealth of gold and silver and paper money fill- ing the vaults of the federal treasury is due in no small measure to the rec- ord breaking drinking, smoking and card playing of the American people during the fiscal vear 1913.

FOR THE MURDER OF DIAMOND BROKER Arrests Made on Information Alleged “to Come from Prisoner’s Sweetheart. Chicago, Aug. 11.—Formal charges of murder were entered by the police to- day against John Faith and Charles Snyder, who are accused of killing Joseph H. Logue, an aged diamond l;roker, in his office here last Decem- er. The two men were arrested a few .days ago on information said to have been given to the police by May Me- Mullin, Faith's sweetheart. The wo- man said Faith knew that Logue was to have been murdered several days before the crime was committed. She persuaded Faith, according to her story, to keep away from Snyder and to take no part in the affair. After the murder, she said, Snyder told Faith that he “did the job” and that he got several diamonds and other jewelry. “Snyder told Johnny that when he went into Logue’s office he said to the jeweler that he had some stones to sell,” continued the woman. “Logue immediately stepped over to the win- dow and drew the curtain. When he urned ‘about he was covered with %nyder's pistol. ‘I am a poor man,’ ogie said; ‘why do you pick me out? He was becoming excited, so Snyder, ‘fearing an outery, fired. He also plunged his knife into the few- feler’s body. Then: he rifled the safe. & occurred to him as he was leaving that if Logue ever recovered he would be able to identify his assailant, so he took a bottle of acid from his pock- et and threw the contents into his victim's eyes. He then walked out of the office and mingled with the crowd.” ESCORT RIDDLED CASKET WITH BULLETS IN CHURCH. Only One Incident of Funeral Day of the Late President of Hayti New York, Aug. 11—Instead of pre- sentig_arms when ordered to do so, the military escort to the body of Tancrede Auguste, late president of Hayti, aimed their rifles at the casket and riddled it with bullets, according to Marfield Kemp of Lexington, Ind., a young engineer employed by the Na- tional Railroad of Hayti, who reached here from Port-au-Prince today. The shooting occurred in the cathedral of St. Mary, Mr. Kemp said, at the con- clusion of a funeral service of great solemnity and in the presence of hun- dreds of persons. Mr. Kemp was one of a party of Americans, he said, who attended the funeral. “The casket occupied a place in the centre aisle,” Mr. Kemp said, “and the twenty-four soldiers stood in two lines on each side. At the blessing they were ordered to present arms. In- stead they fired several rounds into the body. The church was thrown into an uproar and the funeral throng fled in panic.” This outrage was one of many dis- orders occurring in Port-au-Prince on the day of the funeral, Mr. Kemp said. He added that President Auguste had made many political enemies, and that it was generally reported, but without confirmation, that he had been pols- oned.

It also repudiates the insinua- tion that the influence of powerful financial interests were used in brinz- ing about recognition. WAR COST $1,360,000,000.

Washington, Aug. 11.—A telegram wa$ sent tonight to democratic lead- ers ipr Alabama bp Senator Overman, acting chairman of the senate judiciary committee, advising them that Gov- ernor O'Neal, in the opinion of the democratic Jawyers in the senate, had no power now to appoint a successor to the late Senator Joseph F. John- ston. The message added that a ma- Jority of the lawyer senators held the governor could call a special election at once, but qualified this by adding that there was much difference of opinion in the judiciary committee as to whether it was necessary to call the legislature into session to author- ize a special election. Governor O'Neal, Senator Bankhead and others had asked for an opinion from the judiclary committee as to the quickest way of filling the vacancy under the terms of the recent consti- tutional amendment providing for the direct election of senators. The question was discussed at a full meeting of the judiciary committee. Later the democratic members con- sulted with practically every lawyer among the defmocratic senators. It was stated after the meetings that the unanimous opinfon was that the governor had no power to fill the va- caney until the legislature met and au- thorized him to do so.

Cost $182,500,000 Pro- Japan’s Ultimate Plan. Auf. 11.—In_a state- ment now in the hands of Represen- tative Britten of Chicago, member of the house naval affalrs committee, it is asserted that-the plans of the Jap- anese - admiralty regarding an over- whelming navy have been changed somewhat to meet the straitened ex- chequer of the Island Empire, but that the legislature of Japan has been urged to build a fleet which will easily dom- inate the Pacific ocean. Mr, Britten is In possession of a dopy ‘of a mews article from the Asahi, a Tokio newspaper, in which it is as- serted a full report is given of the appearance of Admiral Takarabe, vice- minister of the navy, before a sub- committee of the lower house budget committee of Japan. It was proposed originally to increase the present number of battleships in each squadron from six to eight. Eight battleships would have been necessary to effect this and in addition it would have been necessary to build eight cruisers sixteen scout cruisers and forty-eight destrovers, costing a total of _$54,000,000. The present budget therefore pro- vides for the construction of three dreadnoughts of the most powerful type and for the eventual carrying out of a scheme for eight dreadnoughts, four battle cruisers, eight scouts and forty destrovers at a cost of $182,500,- 000.

[tion : i ¥ AiGE_TWO_CENTS Defense of Gurrency Bill MADE BY CARTER GLASS BEFORE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS BRYAN OPTIMISTIC Currency on Warehouse Receipts for Corn, Wheat and Cotton Would Give Government Support to Speculation ‘Washington, Aug. 11.—A vigorous defense of the administration currency bill by Representative Carter Glass, one of its authors, was received with general applause and support in the first session today of the caucus of democratic members of the house, be- fore which the measure is to be work- ed over and its fate determined. Representative Glass’ speech follow- ed an unsuccessful attempt by the “in- surgent” democrats of the banking and currency committee to have the cau- cus thrown open to the public. Led by Representative Neeley of Kansas and Ragsdale of South Carolina, mem- bers of the committee, Representative Henry of Texas and others, the advi cates of open caucus mustered 63 votes, against 119. Endorsed by Eleven. The currency bill was laid hefore the caucus by Representative Glass, as chairman of the committee, with the endorsement of eleven democratic members. Representatives Neeley and Ragsdale and Representative Eagle of Texas withheld their approval. Mr. Glass’ speech in explanation of the bill, which began as a general state- ment of the purpose and hopes of its turned into an emphatic e of measure when the “in- nts” insisted that it should make provision for the issuance of currency upon warehouse receipts _for corm, wheat and cotton. Speculation would receive the ac- tive support of the government, he declared, if these amendments were put into the bill. The legitimate de- mands of farming communities, he sald, for money to carry on ordinary farming and commercial operations, were fully covered by the measure, and to make warehouse receipts for cotton or grain a legal security for the issuance of the proposed new treasury notes would furnish the means by which speculators could hold the cot- ton and grain crops in storage for an indefinite period.

I'he statement of Frederico Gamboa, the new Mexican minister of foreign relations, that he had “great faith in the reasonableness of the judgment of the United States,” hold- ing the conviction that the difficulties between the two countries “soon would be adjusted,” produced a very favor- able impression in administration cir- cles. Secretary Bryan commented op- timistically on it and White IHouse officials were pleased. Our Attitude Merely Friendly. President Wilson pojinted out during the day to callers what seemed to him conspicuous efforts on the part of some people, unknown to him, through pub- lished misrepresentations, to involve the United States in intervention. He reiterated that the attitude of this gov- ernment toward Maxico in the present situation was one of peace and friend- liness solely. The safe arrival in Mexico City of John Lind, personal representative and officially designated advisor to the American embassy, ended some tense moments in the situation. Adminis- tration officials tonight looked forward hopefully to a favorable reception of their efforts to suggest measures of peace in ending the struggle between the contending factions in Mexico. Rumors of Hostility Cleared Away. With the air cleared of rumors of hostility in the Mexican capital to Mr. Lind's presence there, officials were disposed to believe the programme of the American government would be carried out guietly and in such manner | as seemed most expedient to Mr. Lind and the embassy at Mexico City.
