York’s Governor NOT DISQUALIFIED FROM HOLDING OFFICE IN FUTURE Governor Guilty On Articles One, Two and Four—Not Guilty of Bribing Witnesses to Withhold Testimony—Court Ad journs After Vote on Four Articles Until Today. Glynn Takes Charge Albany, October 16.—Governor William Sul/.er was today found guilty by the high court of impeachment on three of the iirticles preferred against him. They were articles Nos. 1, Li and 1. He was declared innocent on the charges contained in article 3. Tomorrow he will he removed from office, hut not disqual ified from holding office in this state in the future.unless there is a substantial change in the informal vote reported to have been taken by the court on these questions in secret session today. For the same reason it was expected that he will-be found not guilty on the other four articles still remaining to be voted on when the court adjourned tonight. GLYNN TO BECOME CHIEF EXECUTIVE Lieutenant. Governor Martin H. Glynn, who has been acting governor nnce the impeachment of Sulzer, will become chief executive of the state. He is an Albany newspaper owner. 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 39 to 18, a bare two-thirds majority. The former article charged thut the governor falsified his statement of campaign contributions; the latter charges that he committed perjury in so doing. The vote on article 3, which charges the governor bribed witnesses to withhold testimony from the Frawley investigating committee, was unani mous in favor of the governor. SsiX MEMBERS CHANGE VOTES The vote on article 4 wan 43 to 14, six members changing their votes j on articles 1 anil 2 from “not guilty' to “guilty” and two from “guilty” io “not guilty.” This article charges that the governor suppressed evidence by j means of threats to keep witnesses | from testifying before the Frawley committee. Among these was Duncan j *W. Peck, state superintendent of pub lic works, who testified at the trial that i the governor had asked liini to commit j perjury. The secret informal vote to remove ! the governor was said to be 43 to 14. i the same as on article 4, and the vote not to disqualify hftn was said to be unanimous. Article 6, which charges that the gov- I ernor committed larceny in speculating ; with his campaign contributions, was said not to have been sustained in the secret session by a vote of f>0 declaring the governor "not guilty” to seven | against him. Article 5, which charges that he pre- j vented a particular witness, Frederick L. Colwell, from attending the sessions of the Frawley committee; article 7, that lie threatened to use his office ami influence to affect the vote or poli tical action of certain assemblymen and article 8. that he corruptly used his in fluence to affect the prices of securi ties on the stock exchange, were re ported also to have been deckled in favor of the governor in the secret ses sion by a practically unanimous vote. CULLEN VOTES NOT GUILTY Presiding Judge Edgar M. Cullen, who will shortly retire from the benen, voted "not guilty" on every article and rendered a long opinion In explanation of Ills votes. The other eight Judges of the'court of nppegls were divided. On articles 1 and t Judges Willard Bart lett, Emory A. Chase and William E. Werner, voted for the governor and against him voted Judges Frederick Collin, William H. Cuddeback, John W. Jlogati, Frank H. Iliscock and Nathan I,. Miller, making a division among them of 5 to 4 against the governor. On article 4 Judges Burtlett. Chase and Werner changed their votes from "not guilty” to "guilty," and Judges Iliscock and Miller changed from "guilty" to "not guilty,” making against him a division of II to 3.

The latter filed with the court lengthy opinions in support of their votes. One of the judges, Nathan L. Miller, \vho was designated to the court of ap peals bench by Sulzer, denounced him as “totally unfit for office.” Express Harsh Opinions Several of the senators also expressed harsh opinions of Governor Sulzer. Sen ator Sage declared that tlje $10,000 of Thomas F Ryan was given to the gov ernor because he was ‘useful” in Con gress and as a retainer "for services to be rendered in his new position." Senator Wagner, democratic leader of the senate, rendered a long legal opin ion. in which he sought to refute the contention that the offenses charged in articles 1 and 2 were not impeachable because they were acts committed lie fore the governor took office. Senaotor Elon R. Brown, republican leader, read a similar lengthy opinion. In which he defended his vote in con neetiqn with the fact that he had been politically opposed to the governor. ! “It lias been my duty during the pres l ent administration,” he said, “to lead I the opposition in the senate and at times (Continued on Pnge Ulght) SAFETY AT SEA DISCUSSED IN SERVITUDE BILL DEBATE Echo of Volturno Disaster Heard in Efenate Yesterday—Preven tion of Similar Disasters Taken Up—To Vote Not Later Than October 22 Washington, October 16.—Safety at •ea for travelers ami improved work ing conditions for sailors on merchant ships were taken up In the Senate to day when debate began on the seaman's servitude bill. The Volturrio disaster figured prominently in the discussion. Senators expressed the opinion that more adequate laws on loading cargoes and higher efficiency requirements would do much to prevent similar dis asters. Senator LaFollette charged that large •hipping interests had prevented ade quate reform for years. He presented a substitute for the bill which would go farther in requiring any absolute test of efficiency for seamen on ocean liners. Fire drills and life boat drills can not be had on ocean vessels, the sen ator contended, under conditions ap proaching those which confront a ship crew at the time of disaster at sea. The greatest safety, he said, lies in a law that will require an adequate num ber of seamen thoroughly trained. The Senate ha£ agreed to vote not later than October 22. The measure passed the last Congress was pocket vetoed, by President Taft. MUST GIVE UP OFFICE Co*'rfc»G v*T WAHteAj -- ■ (iOV.

Daughter of the Accused Woman Says Mother W as Jealous Plymouth, Mass., October 16.—Mrs. Jennie May Eaton, on trial for the mur der of her husband. Hear Admiral Jo seph Giles Eaton, today heard her lti year-oid (laughter, Dorothy Virginia Ainsworth, support the contention of the prosecution that she was unreason ably jealous toward her husband. Under questioning of District Attorney Bar ker, Dorothy testified that her mother was easily angered and had continual hallucinations that the admiral was trying to poison the family. Dorothy had not finished her testi mony when court adjourned. Early in today’s session Assistant District Attorney Fred G. Katzmann outlined the case for the prosecution, claiming jealousy as a motive for the alleged crime. An indication of the probable line of defense was given in the cross-exam ination of Medical Examiner Gilman T. Osgood by Attorney Charles T. Morse. Ilia questions were aimed to bring out the possibility that Admiral Eaton | j might have partaken of the poisin in ; accordance with habit. The government 1 claims the poison was administered by j Mrs. Eaton in tea, col'iee and other beverages at meals. The district at lormy was unable to obtain from the> uaugnters deciartion uitu -ate. Ima exclusive opportunity to place poi son in the admiral’s cup. While her uaughter was testifying Mrs. Eaton sat quietly in her chair, but occasionally leaned forward and caught Dorothy’s glance. Dorothy always smiled back at her mother, but these incidents appeared to upset her. In beginning his examination of Dorothy Ainsworth, the district attorney pi ace a emphasis on tlie relations between her older sister, Mrs. June Keyes, and the rest of the household. Dorothy said that both June and her mother often hud ex pressed the belief that the baby adopted by the Eatons in 1909, was poisoned by the admiral, although medical experts had reported their inability to find any trace of poison. Dorothy said Mrs. Eaton insisted frequently that tlie admiral was msane and that this belief was shared by June. Mrs. Eaton declared that she herself and June had been given poison by the admjral, porotny testified. To bear out these statements, Mrs. Eaton had shown the girl marks on her body which she said had been made by the admiral's hypo dermic needle. Mrs. Eaton also told Dorothy, accord ing to the testimony, that the admiral had tried to poison her when he was sick and that sire was afraid of him. Witness said her mother often wiped off the plates before eating, explaining that she was afraid the admiral had sprinkled them with prison. Dorothy said Mrs. Eaton hod discharged more than half a dozen maids with whom she accused the admiral of flirting. Names of other women of whom Mrs. Eaton ap parently had been jealous, were mentioned by the witness. The district attorney questioned the girl about the supper the night of Thurs day, March 6, the tray before the admiral’s death. Dorothy said she and the ad miral had tea. but that Mrs. Eaton did not. She thought the admiral prepared the beverage. They also had pork for supper. It was this pork which Mrs. Ea ton claimed had caused her husband’s ill ness. The admiral seemed to be in a happy mood at the supper table, and In the library, directly afterwards told many jokes and stories. In a little while, how ever, he complained of nausea and had to leave the room. That night, Dorothy went on, her mother insisted she must go right to bed Admiral Eaton, however, finished the CCoattnucd ob Pact Nine) PRESIDENT TAKES HAND IN SENATE He Personally Interrogates Senators as to Present Status of the Currency Bill in Senate Washington.

WONDERFUL WORK OF A BLIND GIRL Jackson, Miss., October IB.—(Special.) Three or four months ago several charit able ladies of Jackson “chipped in" at the instance of Mrs. J. N.

She went to work at once, and alter she had made a few yards of carpet and rugs,, a short notice was made of her 'factory" in the Times-Democrat, and since that time orders have come from every direction—In and out of the state.

U. S. STRENGTHENS OWN POSITION The policy of the I nited Statea Iiiik been to make complete the record ol having attempted to handle the prob lem l»y peaceful means. Ip to the prea eut parleys have been carried on with the lluertn authorities, who have re jected tile good offices of the I nited Stutes. Strong pressure now is being brought to hear upon the President tiud Secretary llrynii to give the constitu tionalists an opportunity to compose the situation through the support of this country. Reports that the President was prepar ing to recognize the belligerency of the constitutionalists are based chiefly upon the friendly disposition toward them that has arisen among administration officials since Huerta’s proclamation of dictator ship. The suggestion has been carried to President Wilson by those upon whose judgment he and Secretary Bryan have in the past been guided to some extent, and while the attitude is one of waiting until October 26 arrives, it appeared today that some move indicating support for tlie constitutionalists was not at all improb able. WOULD PREVENT CURIOUS TANGLE Such action might not be formal recog nition. which would present u curious tangle in technicalities of International law. but it is pointed out by those who are urging informal dealings with the constitutionalists that in reality Governor Carranza was legally elected chief execu tive of the state of Coahuila and that he and Governor Maytorena of Sonora Jus tify their armed resistance of Huerta as a measure of defense against those who took possession of the federal government machinery in the Mexican capital by ar bitrarily overthrowing Madero. That President Wilson believes the Mexico City administration is incapable of restoring constitutional authority is ev ident and there Is a well founded under standing that the Washington govern ment would adopt a very drastic policy immediately, but for the fear that it would interfere with the democratic pro gramme* of currency and other important legislative reforms. REALIZES VALtfE OF SHOW OF FORCE Those who know President Wilson's at titude best say lie realizes the value of a show of force in the situation, but is un willing t<- consent to any demonstration except witli the intention of backing it up l with actual use of force if events call for j it. Means for dealing with the tangle | through peaceful measures, however, I have by no means been exhausted and the lkellhood is that before any military or naval demonstrations are seriously con sidered support may lie thrown toward the constitutionalists with the view of sweeping the Huerta regime from potver. The Washington government would wel come the elimination of Huerta, and If this can be accomplished by lifting the embargo on arms or giving the constitu tionalists t.iie moral support of this coun try, many officials here favor such a policy. ... «ADVISABLE TO l IMPROVE ALABAMA RIVERS AT PRESENT Engineer Russell’s Report on Alabama Waterway Navigation Project Is Sent to Congress Washington, October 16.—Secretary Garrison sent to Congress today the re port of Chief Engineer ltossell reject ing as not being advisable at this time plans to improve for navigation the waters of the Etowah, Coosa and Tal lapoosa rivers in Georlga and Alabama in connection with the Alabama river. The total cost of the proposed Im provements is estimated at $15,000,600. Washington, October 16. — (Special. ^ Over two years ago Captain Ehrgerson to the United States army engineers began a survey of the headw-ators ot the Coosa. Etowah and Tallapoosa rivers looking to a great scheme ol building reservoirs for the purpose of preventing floods and aiding naviga tion in these streams. His report of tin cost of this project was very complete and exhaustive, but the expense to carry it out' was so much that the general plan has been turned down by the board of engineers. The estimated ■cost to the government was $l&r000,000 and in this there is taken into consid ! eration the possible returns from water I power concerns, estimated at about i $9,000,000.

Beiliss’ name scarcely was mentioned in the court proceedings. Violent scenes be tween opposing counsel, reflecting the religious or party antagonism existing in Russia, occupied a large part of the time and are becoming daily more fre quent. indications are that the case will not be finished for another fortnight.
