Y., Aup 15.—Lieutenant Governor Martin H. Glynn check- mated tonight the efforts of William Sulzer to invoke the arbitrament of the courts on the question as to which of the two is the present lawful chief executive of the state of New York: Replying to a formal proposal by the impeached executive to submit the issue to adjudication on an agreed statement of facts, Mr. Glynn tonight declared that it was beyond his pow- er to “barter away any of the func- tions attaching to the office in which 1 am placed by your impeachment.” “Any attempt on my part to do so. he said, which it might be don€, would pfop- occupy—that of being impeached for malfeasance in office.” Mr. Giynn declared further that he proposed to perform eyeryfunction of the office of governor “éxcept in so far s I am restrained by your illegal action or by physical force.” The announcement of the lieuten- ant governor's policy came late to- night and followed negotiations be- | tween the respective counsel of the two men in the late afternoon, which it was then supposed had resulted in a virtual agreement to take the case to the court of appeals. | Mr. Glynn's Letter. % i Mr. Glynn's Jetter addressed to “The | Honorable William Sulzer,” and signed, | *Acting_Governor,” follows: “Dear S 1 have vour letter of this date re- fusing to comply with my demand this | day served upon you that you surren- der to me, your Successor,.in exer- cising the functions of the office of svernor, the governor's privy seal, | the executive chamber, and the books | snd papers appertaling to such of- ! fice of governor.

At the end of a session devoted to discussion of rates of duty on butter, hay and potatoes, the senate found it had pass- ed on scarcely ‘more than a dozen items, Democratic leaders are canvassing the situation to decide as to the advis- ability of beginning, longer sessions next week in the hope that work on the bill may be hastened. The Senate is now working from eleven o’clock to six. Earlier sessions and meetings at night probably will be recommended. Efforts by Senator Page of Vermont to prevent the democrats cutting the six cent duty on butter to 2 1-2 cents per pound were unsuccessful at the end of a long debate. Senator Sher- man of Illinois, criticised the demo- crats for trying to reduce the price of butter while they refused to reduce the price of substitutes by taking off the heavy internal revenue tax. An attempt by Senator Gronna to put a duty of fifteen cents a bushel on po- tatoes was also unsuccessful. The present bill would make them free with a countervailing duty. Senator Walsh argued that a duty ‘on_pafai d not affect the prices received by farm- ers except along the Atlantic seacoast. Senator Gronna opposed the commit- tee amendment reducing the house duty of 20 cents per bushel on linseed to 15 cents. The amendment was adopted. The finance co: ittee's amendment reducing the house rate on butter from three Cents to 2 1-2 cents a pound was adopted 38 to 30. Senator Page's amendment to increase the rate to four cents was voted down 38 to 29. Senator Poindexter led a fight to amend the bill by increasing the rate on hay from $2 to $3 a ton. He crit- icised the finance committee for' in- creasing the duty on monopolized to- bacco and reducing it on hay, a pro- duct incapable of being monopolized. The amendment was beaten 37 to 26.

J. Mc- Michaels, former chief page - of - the house. Nattily -attired in a summery ouilit of biue and white serge, Mc- Michaels biew clouds of cigarette smoke in the faces of the members of the commiitee from the witness chair while he discoursed in vivid and pic~ turesque language. On Mulhall’s Payroll. From the fall of 1909 until January, 1912, McMichgels said, he was almost constantly on the payroll of Martin M, Mulhall, the XNational Association of Manufacturers’ field agent, at $50 a month, while he was successively dem- ocratic chief page of the house, at- tendant in the house press gallery and elevator conductor in the capitol. He told of introducing Mulhall to Repre- sentative James B. McDermott of Illinois, for whom he worked as a kind of secretary, and said that McDermott worked with Mulhall and provided the latter with a room in the basement of the capitol where McDermott, Mec- Michaeis and Mulhall conferred. “Did you ever see any money pass between Mulball and = McDermott2” asked Chairman Garrett. Believed Money Was Passing. “I never seen any money actually pass between them,” said the witness, leaning back in his chair and pausing to puff at his cigarette. “But I had reason to believe that plenty of it was passing. I got mine over and above board.” “Why did vou say vou had reason to believe money was passing?” Dough Don’t Grow on Trees. The witness leaned forward and pounded on the committee table. “I'm not a fool,” he declared vigor- ously. “When two guys like me and Mcuermott sit down to a table and the two of us ain't got a penny, and a third guy comes in and we have eats and drinks and get up with the dough, I know that dough don’t grow on trees or on the table.” The witness said that he, McDermott and Mulhall, after conferring at the capitol, would adjourn to a_ dining room in a small hotel near the capitol for “extéended sessions.” H edescribed the room provided in the capitol for the conferences as a “good place te sleep off drunks.” Smile Meant Much. “How would you or McDermott know about the other having money after these conferences?” asked ‘man Garrett. “We'd just smile at each other,” he said. “Both of us was careful not to let the other know about how much money we had. If Mulhall gave me iwo bills I'd hide the larger ome and flash the smaller one, because every time T flashed anything over two dol- lars he copped half of it. He would g0 to the cashier and give him his money and draw two dollars and come back to where I was. Td say to_the cashier: For God's sake, don’t let Mac see this’ We were both doifig this.” Made Committee Laugh. The committee and the spectators laughed heartily at McMichaels’ de- scriptions of these transactions. “At this time your relations with McDermott were confidential?” asked Garrett. “Oh, yes,” said the witness. He said that a hotel cashier named Regan had made affidavit as to these transactions. Regan will appear later. The money he received from Mul- hall on these occasions, the witness said, was always deducted from his monthly stipend. Kept Mulhall Posted. He said that his employment by Mul- hall was for the purpose’of keeping Mulhall and James E. Emery, counsel for the National Association of Manu- facturers, advised of the status of leg- islation in the house and in various committees and supplying documents to National Association of Manufac- turers’ officials. District of Columbia Fund. TIn addition to the charges already made McMichaels swore that the Chi- cago representative told him that he received $7,500 out of a fund of $10,000 raised by the pawnbrokers of Wash- ington to oppose the bill passed in the last session of congress regulating in- terest rates in the District of Columbia. Concluding his testimony, McMich- aels testified that McDermott, since the Mulhall expose, had endeavored to get him to conceal McDermott's part in the transaction. " Throughout McMichaels’ recital Rep- resentative McDermott, with his coun- sel, sat immediately opposite the wit- ness, chewing on a cigar and watching his erstwhile confidential man with a steady gaze, He expressed neither sur- prise nor indignation at any peint in the complicated story IDENTIFIED MAN AS HIGHWAY ROBBER.
