Albany, N. Y., August 15.—Martin H.
Glynn checkmated tonight the move
ment of William Sulzer to invoke the
arbitrament of the courts on the ques
tion 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 Is
sue to adjudication of an agreed state
of facts, Mr. Glynn tonight declared
It was beyond his power to “barter
away any of the functions attaching
to the o’fice in which I am placed by
your impeachment.”
“Any attempt on my part to do so.”
he said, “or to stipulate a method by
which it might be done, would prop
erly place me in the position you now'
occupy—that of being Impeached for
malfeasance in office.”
Mr, Glynn declared further t:hat he
proposed to perforin every function of
the office of governor, “except insofar
as 1 am restrained by your illegal ac
tion or by physical force.”
The announcement of the liteutenant
governor's policy came late tonight and
followed negotiations between respect
ive counsel of the two men late this
afternono, which it wuis then supposed
hud resulted in a virtual agreement to
the court of appeals.
Mr. Glynn’* letter, addressed to “the
Hon. William Hulzer,” and signed “Acting
Governor,’* follows:
“Dear Sir—-I have your letter of this
date refusing to comply with my demand
this day served upon you that you sur
render to me.'\vmi: me; ssor m exercis
ing the functions of the office of gover
nor. the governor's privy seal, the execu

At the end of your letter thus refusing

a decision by some court as to which
one of us is entitled to exercise the duties
of office.
make and no condition that would justify
me in making any such stipulation. The
constitution was designed to, and I am
advised and believe does, specifically and
completely cover the juncture now exist
ing, and is supplemented by statutes
passed by the legislature and now in
force.
“It is beyond my power to barter
away any of the functions attaching
to the office in which I am placed by
your Impeachment. Any attempt on my
part to do so, or to stipulate a method
by which it might be done, would prop
erly place, me in the position you now
occupy, that of being: impeached for
malfeasance in office. I cannot and
will not attempt to do it.
“The entire matter now Is in tl>e
highest court of tlie state, the court
of impeachment. No order that any
lower court could make, no judgment
that it could render, would have the
slightest binding force upon this high
court. No member of the court of ap
peals—certainly no member of the lower
body, the supreme court—can in any
degree nor- under any olrcumsances in
terfere with the jurisdiction or the de
cision of such court of impeachment
save, and save only, as the members
of the court of appeals shall cast their
Individual votes as such members of
the court.
Decision Binding
“The decision of the court of im
peachment once made is binding on
every court and every person in the
state and must be so respected and
treated. Any attempt to interfere with
the jurisdiction or proceedings of such
court of impeachment by any member
of any lower court would be as futile
as would any attempt of a justice of
the peace to enjoin the chief judge of
the court of appeals from exercising
his functions as such chief judge.
"The constitution lias fixed this as
the only way for the settlement of the
matters now pending. I know of no
other and I must therefore decline to
enter into any stipulation whatever
with* you on the subject.
“I hold myself In readiness to per
form, and shall perform, every function
of the office of governor except insofar
as 1 am restrained by your illegal ac
tion or by physical force.”
The letter was delivered to Mr. Sul
xer at the executive mansion tonight.
Mr. Glynn motored to his country resi

his counsel.

CHARGES THAT FEDERALS
ARE SHOOTING PRISONERS
Galveston, August IB.—-Mexican federate
in the state of Durango are shooting all
prisoners taken regardless of nationality,
according to O. V. Seifert, a mining man
from that state. Seifert was of a party
of 200 other refugees arriving Monday
from Tampico on the Norwegian steamer
Noruega and released from quarantine
toda>. Seifert, who was bom in Mexico
of American parenst, said he was accused
•of furnishing powdei to the rebels and
warned to leave the country within 12
hours. He left in haste.
►Seifert told of the killing by rebels of
tils cousin, Roger Palmer, cashier for the
lallroad company at Durango. Palmer
was ordered to open the safes in his of
fices. He opened one safe but did not
know the combination of the second,, and
was shot down.
Seifert said bandits killed a German
hardware commission merchant at La
Blanaca a fortnight ago and assaulted
his two daughters, aged 8 and 1.6. Both of
the marauding bands are looting Zacatecas
and Durango states, according to the refu
gees. Gen. Panfllo Xatore, the rebel
commander, is doing all lie can to restrain

The refugees were unanimous in declar
ing both tile better and lower Hass of
Mexicans are anxious there shall be no
trouble between the United States and
Mexico, hut that what they called the
middle class is openly hostile to Ameri

WHAT PART DOES SHE PLAY
IN SULZER IMPEACHMENT?
MRS. WILLIAM SULZER
The New York state capital was startled when the amazing report
was circulated that Mrs. William Sutzer stands ready to come forward
and assume full responsibility for Governor Sulzer’s checking accounts,
which are the basis for the impeachment charges, connecting the cam
paign funds with Wall street speculation. Mrs. Sulzer said that she had
signed checks without the governor’s knowledge and that these checks
had come to light in the recent Frawley committee inquiry.

Into Governor's. Office Asking for
Aid—Ask All Citizens to Join
in Supplications
Kansas City, August 15.—Prayers for
rain were asked for in Kansas and Mis
souri today by citizens and clergymen,
who believe that spasmodic prayers are
not sufficient to end the drought which
has beset the southwest for more than
three weeks. In Kansas hundreds of per
sons wrote to Governor Hodges, asking
him to issue a proclamation calling for a
day of public prayer. The governor de
clined.
“I believe In tlie efficacy of prayer,”
said the governor, “but not in the case
of flood or drought.”
Bishop J. J. Hennessey of the Roman
Catholic diocese of Wicihta, Kas., issued*
an order that next Sunday an hour shall
be given in each church in the diocese for
special devotions and “fervent prayer to
our Blessed Lord to terminate the present
unusually protracted dry spell.”
Hold Public Services
At Springfield, Mo.. Rev. J. E. McDon
ald, pastor of St. Paul’s Methodist Epis
copal church, announced public services
would be held tomorrow to offer prayers
for rain.
The letters to Governor Hodges were
from all parts of the state. Some urged
the governor to ask that every resident
attend church Sunday morning and that
everyone make a prayer of bis own.
Others urged that the proclamation simply
ask each citizen to offer a prayer at his
home or at church.
The letters told of the suffering of the
sick because of the dry weather and ex
treme heat, and of the suffering of live
stock by water shortage and of the loss
of crops and forage and the drying up of
pastures and wells.
Prayer Not Answered
All the letters declared the writers arid
their families anil friends and the preach
ers generally had prayed and are prayihg
for rain, but the‘prayers have not been

EXTENDED DEBATES
I SENATE AGAIN
DELAY TARIFF BILL
Demacrp.tie Leaders Urge
Longer Sessions Next
, Week in Hope of Expe
diting Work
Washington. August 15.—Extended de
bate over details of the agricultural sched
I ule delayed progress on the tariff bill
again today In the Senate. At the end
[ of a session devoted to discussion of rates
of duty on butter, hay and potatoes, the
Senate found it bad passed on scarcely
more than a dozen items.
Democratic leaders canvassed the sit
uation to decide as to the advisability
of beginning longer sessions next week
in tlie hope that work on the bill may
j be hastened. The Senate is now work
ing from 11 o’clock to 0. Earlier ses
! sions and meetings at night probably will
| be rec ommended.
Criticises Democrats
Efforts by Senator Page of Vermont to
prevent the democrats cutting the 8-cent
duty on butter to 2^ c.ents per pound
were unsuccessful. Senator Sherman of
Illinois criticised the democrats for try
ing to redued the price of butter while
they refused to reduce the price of sub
stitutes by taking off the heavy internal
revenue tax.
An attempt by Senator Gronna to put
a duty of 15 cents a bushel on potatoes
was also unsuccessful. The present bill
would make them free with a counter
j vailing duty. The potato tariff brought
another criticism from Senator Bristow
concerning the potato starch duties, on
which he made a vigorous speech some
time ago. lie today declared that to
put potatoes on the free list while starcli
and other potato products were left du
tiable “was one of the worst examples
in the bill of the discrimination against
farmers." Senator Walsh argued that a
duty on potatoes would not affect the
prices received by farmers, except along
the Atlantic sea coast.

Washington. Augustl 5.—Shirley C.

THE VIEWPOINT OF
IHE UNITED STATES
Lind Makes Known Mission
in Conference With Min
ister Gumboa
BELIEVE HOPEFUL
FEELING JUSTIFIED
Lind Will Probably Present Formal
Communication to Huerta Monday.
Assured of Policy of Peace and
Friendliness
Washington, August 15.—The Huerta
government, through conferences In Mex
ico City between John Lind, President
Wilson’s personal representative, and For
eign Minister Gamboa, now knows the
viewpoint of the United States and its de
sires for only a peaceful and friendly solu
tion of Mexico's trouble. The formal com
munication Mr. »Lind bears will not he
handed to Mexico before Monday at least,
when it also will be transmitted to dip
lomatic representatives of foreign powers
in Washington. •
What the result of publishing' these
views will be, officials here do not ven
ture to predict. They have no assur
ances tiiat the Huerta government will
accept them, but they believe the spirit
thus far shown by the Huerta officials
justifies a hopeful feeling for the success
of Mr. Lind’s mission.
Look for Some Action
Observers of the situation generally look
for a pronouncement of some kind from
Huerta immediately following the presen
tation of President Wilson’s message
through Mr. Lind. It is expected in diplo
matic circles that President Huerta will
formally announce a call for an early elec
tion, even seting the date.
Constitutionalists hitherto have claimed
they would not engage in any election in
which the Huerta government exercised
control over the election machinery. The
possibility of an agreement, however, for
a non-partisan commission of Mexicans to
conduct the election is being discussed and
should the situation actually progress to
that point it may be that informal ef
forts will be made by Mr. Und to secure
participation by Hie constitutionalist lead
ers in such p. plan.
Will Not Lift Embargo
Information, however, of only the
vaguest character has been forthcoming
from officials as to the eventualities that
would follow a possible rejection of "rys
•rb-m x, iIson $ I II .1 by i i.“ !Iu - ’a f ft
crnraeiit. There is no (Mention at* pres
ent of lifting the embargo on a»7ny. in
fact, the President Is said to have taken
a strong position against it, at least un
til all peaceful means of settlement have
been exhausted.
There is a confident and conspicuous
feeling of optimism, however, among -id- (
ministration officials that a peaceful set- ,
tlement Is in sight, though they admit the
delicacy of the situation forbids any de
tailed discussion ai this time of the cir
cumstances on which their hopes are
based.
PENROSE FORCES
ANOTHER DEBATE ON
MEXICAN SITUATION
Introduces Resolutions Calling Upon
President to Disclose Status of
W. Bayard Hale, Envoy to
Mexico—Lively Debate
Washington. August 15.—Senator Pen
rose forced another debate on the .Mex
ican situation today by introducing a
resolution calling upon President Wilson
to inform the Senate whether William
Bayard Hale Is in Mexico City as the
agent of any executive department of the
government, and if so by what authority
he was appointed and what compensa
tion he has been given.
Explanation of Hale’s presence in Mex
ico at the White House was that he was
there as a personal friend of President
Wilson, forwarding information.
Senator Penrose declared that he had
no desire to further complicate a deli
cate situation or to indulge in Jingoism.
He referred also to dispatches from Mex
ico City telling of the serious plight of
Shirely C. Hulse, son-in-law of IJeurt?n
ant Governor Reynolds of Pennsylvania,
who, with his wife and little daughter,
are believed to be in danger from revo
lutionists near the city of Chihuahua. |
May Disclose Information
The senator declared that unless the I
mission of John JJnd developed marked
change in conditions In Mexico he would
address the Senate next week, laying be
fore it certain current information he did
not disclose.
"Things are getting pretty close to
home," declared Senator Penrose, "and
are becoming serious, when American
citizens are molested and their lives and
property is endangered.
“Personally. I am % willing to wait a
few days to see if the mysterious mission
of Lind produces any tangible result. In
the event that it does not, early next
weelv I expect to address the Senate on
conditions in Mexico and will offer a res
olution which I hope will go some ways
toward assuring the dignity of the United
States and its firm intention to protect
the lives and property of Americans in
Mexico."
Keveai Mams
Mr. Penrose asked Chairman Bacon of
the foreign relations committee if he
would reveal the status of Hale.
“I decline to reply,” answered the sen
ator.
“In declining to reply your attitude will
not be satisfactory to the Senate or the
people of the country/' responded Senator
Penrose.
Penrose declared Mr. Hale had been
active in Mexico City, conveying the Im
pression that he Is the representative of
President Wilson and had been in confer
ence with Mr. Bind since the envoy pre
sented himself there.
Senator Penrose added he had known
Hale several years and that he left Ard
more. Pa., about 13 years ago under cir
cumstances which he need "not more than
mention/’
"The sooner Dr. Hale’s connections are
severed the better for the unfortunate
Americans now in the Mexican republic/'
he Said.

O'Neal’s Appointee Arrives
in Washington—Will Be
Candidate for Senate
in 1914
—
BY C. R. STRWYHT
Washington, August 15.—(Special.)
Senator and Mrs. Clayton arrived in
Washington late this afternoon and Im
mediately drove from the station to
the judiciary committee room of the
House, where a perfect avalanche of
telegrams and letters congratulating
Mr. Clayton on his appointment and as
suring him of support, awaited them.
Several Senators and Representatives
called on Mr. Clayton and offered their
congratulations. He will not preesnt his
credentials to- the Senate until Mon
day, possibly not until Tuesday.
Makes No Statement
The senator made no statement fur
ther than saying that his record In
Congress, he hoped, would satisfy the
people of Alabama that lie was quali
fied to represent them in the Senate,
and that he would endeavor to demon
strate in his future public acts that
he was worthy of election to the Senate
by the people themselves. Few expres
sions were heard today as to what the
probable action of the Senate would be.
Senators, recognizing Mr. Clayton’s well
known standing as a lawyer are in
clined to wait and hear what argument
may be advanced In support of his
claims before further comment upon
what will be done.
Mr. Clayton is positive In his asser
tions that he will be a candidate before
the pedple for the long term. It. begins
to appear now that there is a possi
bility that five of the 10 members of
the Alabama delegation in the House
who may he candidates for the Sen-'
ate. Representatives Hobson, Clayton
and Heflin are almost sure to be in
the race. Mr. Heflin Is the only one of
this triti who 1ms not postlvely an
nounced that he i's a candidate and it
is pretty sure that his announcement
will be forthcoming in a few days.
Representative Abercrombie is out with
a statement to the effect that he may
be in the race, it all depending upon
what is done about redistricting the
stale.
Mr. Underwood is being urged to get
Into the fight and has never said that
he would not he a candidate, and be
sides these John R Knox has sena
torial aspirations as every one knows,
and may get into the running.
Washington, August 15.—Representa
tive Henry l>. Clayton of Alabama ar
rived In Washington late today with his
commission as United States senator
to succeed the late Joseph F. Johnston.
Mr. Clayton went to his office In the
House office building, where lie an
nounced that his commission would not
be presented to the Senate until Mon
day or Tuesday of next week. In the
meanwhile, he will consult with friends
as to his course in urging the validity
of his appointment.
He announced that he would be a I
candidate for senator at the election j
in 1 !*14. no matter what action the |
Senate might take in the matter of I
seating him now.
Senate loaders today still were al I
most unanimously of the opinion that i
Governor O’Neal.was without authority
i to name a senator in the absence of i
action by the Alabama legislature and;
It was freely predicted that Mr. Clay
ton would not be seated.
Millionaire Found Dead

Tokio. Japan, August 15.—It was an
nounced here today that the United
States has intimated readiness to favor
in principle the payment of an indemnity
to Japanese subjects who have been af
fected by the California alien land own
ership legislation.
The United States has also recognized
tlie right of Japan to adopt a measure
similar to the California bill. From in
timations given in official circles it ap
pears unlikely that Japan will adopt
either idea. What Japan desires prin
cipally is the friendly relations of the
United States and she seeks, therefore,
a. fundamental solution of the difficulty.
If the United States lias no solution
to offer it is said Japan will probably
allow the matter to remain as a griev
ance.
The public feeling of humiliation In
this connection continues to be fanned
by inflammatory comments in the news
papers.
The Hochl Shimbun, which is often sen
sational, urges an object lesson to the
United States. It is in the form of the
expulsion of American missionaries from
Corea on the ground that they are un- \
desirable aliens!.
Will Deal Fair
Washington, August 15.—While the of
ficials here consistently adhere to their
refusal to make any public statement
concerning the negotiations between Ja
pan and the United States regarding the
California alien land law, it is under
stood that in its efforts to deal fairly
with the Japanese government the state
department had indicated a purpose to
facilitate any judicial proceedings that
may be brought to test the legisla
tion.
The proposal, It is said, does not go
as far as that made by President Roose
velt in the Japanese school cuses, where
the United Stab's district attorney was
charged to attark the legality of the
action of the Han Francisco school hoard,
but does commit the Cubed States to the
extension of all reasonable aid in the
prosecution of test cases.
A suggestion that Japanese residents in
California who may suffer from the ap
plication of tin* alien land act be yidcm
nified has been made on account of the
precedent established In the case of the
Chinese who were killed at Rock Springs,
Wyo., years ago, and the Italians who
were lynched hi New Orleans during the
Mafia riots. It is pointed out, however,
that the United States probably would
guarantee Jupam s«* land owners against
loss only in the event that they were
not properly compensated for property
they were obliged to dispose of under the
Webb-Blood good act.

Washington, August 15.—In a dramatic
statement L H. McMichael. dismissed
chief page of the House $>f Representa
i tives, tonight presented to the House
I lobby investigating committee, a sweep
ing charge of corruption against Repre
sentative James E. McDermott of Illinois, >T
for years hla sponsor. With intense earn
estness McMichael in picturesque lan
guage. corroborated tlie allegations of M.
M. Mullmll against McDermott, and made *
additional charges, at times shocking the
committee and spectators without out
bursts of profanity and slang.
The witness declared that for years he
had exerted every effort to support Mc
Dermott, had loaned him money, had
helped him in his campaigns. Now, he ,
said. McDermott ltas “thrown him down”
and he felt he must teli the truth.
Received $7500
In addition to tlie charges already made
McMlchaels swore that the Chicago repre
sentative told him that he received $7500
out of a fdnd of $10,000 raised by the pawn
brokers of Washington to oppose a bill
passed in the last Congress regulating
interest rates in the District of Colum
bia. In this connection McMlchaels told
of a trip to New York when McDermott
conferred with John McDermott of an as
sociation of brewers and with George H.
Horning, a local pawnbroker.
Concluding his testimony McMlchaels
testified that Congressman McDermott,
since the Mulhall expose had endeavored
to get idni to conceal McDermott’s alleged
part in the transaction.
"I met McDermott in the hall of this
office building,” said McMlchaels, his
voice unsteady with emotion, “and ue
said ‘My God I’m a ruined man. What
uni I going to do. Do you suppose any
body will believe this old guy.’ i said to
him, ‘I’ve worked hard for you for six
years, harder than f ever worked foe
any man. 1 tried to elevate you and licit*
you to a big position.’ I told •him I bad
done all [ could for him. I be said* ‘You* ye,
VOC nothing to Jose;, yon don t liv*. with!
.'.our wife. Jrm a congressman* Uml T’vo
got a wife and children. Say you wroto
these letters unbeknownst to me and that
I did not know anything about it. fclven
if they prove that you committed perjury
and forgery they can only send you
down the river to the Ark for two years,
and I'll pay you $100 a month while you
m there.' 'I said to him, ‘Yea, you’re
willing to pay me $100 a month to go to
jail for you, but you won’t pay me.the
wages you honestly owe me. I’ve got $11
m my pocket; that's all I’ve got to show
for six years work, but I won't do this
for you.”
Struggle for Control
Apparently struggling to control himself,
McMlchaels told the committee of fur
rif.1 ing $75 to take Mulhall to Chicago to
aid McDermott In the 1912 campaign.
“Where did you get that money?” asked
Representative Garrett.’
“My mother had jupt died,” said Mo
Michaels, and I was executor for my
metber's efctate. The money was in a,
bank here to the credit of the estate. 1
and l gave Muihall a check for it. I had
to hustle to put it hack. I never got any
of it from McDermott.”
McMlchaels told at length of making
trips to various pawnbrokers in Washing
ton to secure money either for McDer
mott or himself.
‘‘McDermott told me,” he said, “that
the pawnbrokers had raised $10,000 to
fight the loan shark bill and later ho
