Senate as the impeachment court. James J. Frawley, chairman of the Investigating committee that presented the Indictment upon which Governor Sulzer's official head Is demand ed, rapped hesitatingly today at the door leading from the main corridor Into the Governor's private office.

The door opened on a crack at first and was then thrown back to admit the burly form of the Tammany Senator. Frawley cast a furtive glance at the battery of legal lights gathered around the Governor, then with sol emn visage entered, the door closing quietly behind him. For 10 minutes Frawley, who may or may not have borne an ouve branch, faced the hostile gathering. At the very moment that he and the Governor were exchanging words weighted with vital Import to both, John A Hennessy and former United States Attorney Henry A. Wise were collaborating over an application to the court designed to pave the way for an investigation by Hennessy of Frawley political and political-business past The secret visit of Frawley to the Governor provoked this apocryphal remark from one of the Tammany men: "Frawley now finds himself In the position of the boy who threw a stone at the side of a mountain and started an avalanche that engulfed himself." Various Interpretations of this remark were attempted and all were predicated on the announcement by Mr.

Hennessy that before he got through Investigating he would "get Frawley." Only two men saw Frawley enter and depart from the Governor's private office. They were detectives who for a week have been standing guard at the main entrance to the Executive chamber like plain-clothes policemen on stationary posts. Cards Of Admission To Bar "Strong-Arm" Men. Albany, N. Aug.

the first time in the history of the As sembly cards for admission to the floor were Issued. The admitted pur pose of this was to exclude the bands of strong-arm men and soft-footed sleuths who lurk behind Assemblymen whenever they talk with one an other and make reports on their con vernation to the Governor's war board. Side-stepping sleuths has grown during the last 48 hours to be a habit with not only Tammany legislators but the Governor's adherents as well. Albany was overrun with strong-arm men and private detectives in the em ploy of both sides. Practically every person playing an important part in the present crisis is being shadowed.

Even the newspaper men, particularly those representing metropolitan dallies, find their heels dogged at nearly every turn. So ubiquitous are these sleuths that one man to have a ojilet talk with another must seek a remote corner. Glynn's Popularity Increasing. Since It began to appear that Lieutenant-Governor Glynn might succeed Mr. Sulzer, the popularity of the Albany editor has been attested by the continual string of politicians who sidle Into his outer office at the Capitol and seek interviews.

To escape the importunities of political leaders of the bread-and-butter type, who descended on him in large numbers, Mr. Glynn left tho Capitol at an early hour and went to his summer home at Cedar Hill. Seek Authors Of Threats. Officials of the Frawley committee are on a still hunt for the authors of anonymous letters sent from New York today to various members of the Senate calling them "Llckspittlers" and "Corrupt Bosses," and announcing that "the Vlgilants will treat you to a hemp collar soon." "A delegation from Sing Sing," read one letter in part, "would be better lawmakers for tlje public good than the whole lot of you." Mrs, Sulzer Suffered Breakdown. Her presence unsuspected by most of the crowd that thronged the Capitol, Mrs.

Sulzer spent a part of the day with her husband. She was Buf fering severely from the effects of a breakdown of the night before. Militia Call Considered. That the Governor was In dead earnest was proved by repeated con ferences with Adjutant-General Hamilton, through whom his orders as commander-in-chief of the militia would be Issued In case of necessity. In the Governor's mind there was not the slightest doubt that he could sur round the Executive chamber with a line of bayonets, backed up by National Guardsmen, and defy all efforts to remove him or to Interfere with his discharge of the duties as Gov ernor.

Hlnman Opens The Attack. Upon Mr. Levy's call for the order of business, Assemblyman Hlnman opened the debate with an arraignment of the absentees and a repetition of his declaration of Inst night that Provisions For Impeachment The Constitution of the State of New York makes the following provisions for impeachment proceedings: Article IV, Sec. 6. In case of the impeachment of the Governor, or his removal from office, death, inability to discharge, this powers and duties of said office, resignation or absence from the, the powers and duties of the, office shall devolve, upon the IAeu tenant-Governor for the: residue, of the term or until the disability shall cease.

Article VI, Sec. 13. The Assembly shall have the power of impeachment by a vote, of a majority of all iim members elected. The court for the trial of impeachments shall be composed of tho President of the Senate, the Senators, or the major part of them, and the, judges of Ihe, Court of Appeals, or the major part of them. On the trial of an impeachment against the (iovernor or Lieutenant-Governor the, Lieutenant-Governor shall not act as a member of the court.

Before the trial of an impeachment the members of the court shall take, an oath or affirmation truly and impartially to try the, impeachment according to the evidence, and no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present. Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, or removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under this State; but the party impeached shall be liable to indictment and punishment according to law. the pale of the Constitution In considering impeachment at an extraordi nary session not called for that purpose. Every act of Mr. Sulzer with rela tion to campaign funds brought out by the Frawley committee, Mr.

Hlnman asserted, dated back to a period be fore the Governor took his neth nf office. Reference was made to a reso lution adopted by the Assembly In 1X55, In which it is declared that no official may be Impeached for any offense committed before taking office. "It may be," said Mr. Hlnman, that the Governor should not raise any technicalities, but the members of the Assembly owe It to themselves not to violate the Constitution In view of the chaos now prevailing in our State we have an opportunity of unugmg mose responsible to their senses by treatinsr the matter in a dignified and lofty manner. A clerk In a police court could draw a better indictment than that which is presented for our Burns Men On Hand.

It was said that Governor Sulzer has been planning a back fire In the shape of an Investigation of the campaign contributions and expenditures of some of his fellow-Democrats who have turned against him. Mr. Hennessy admitted that he brought a lot of Burns men to Albany today. They weren't the only detectives working In Mr. Sulzer's interest.

Albany Is running over with amateur "investigators," standing around in dark corners with lowered hatbrims. Wrong Men Appeared To Be Given Thanks. One comic adventure grimly enlivened Governor Sulzer's day. It Was a call from four Democratic Assemblymen who are accounted as among his sternest foes. The Governor had invited Assemblymen Hlnman, Schaap, Eisner and Gtbbs to call on him.

They opposed adoption of the Frawley report in the Assembly on Monday night. The Governor wanted to thank them and stiffen them for the rest of the fight. But his messenger bore thts verbal invitation to the wrong men. As a result, Assemblymen Marty McCue, Jackson, Walker and Gillen, all obviously puzzled, walked Into the Governor's waiting room. A fifth who was mistakenly summoned, Jacob Sil-versteln, sent word that nothing short of a written request would induce him to see the Governor.

When Mr. Sulzer heard that McCue and the others were outside he told a messenger to tell them that they hadn't been Invited. So Mr. McCue led Mb flock away. Later Mr.

Hinman and Mr. Schaap were welcomed by the Governor. Here was the spectacle of the Republican and the Progressive leader of the Assembly being summoned by the Gov ernor and titular head of the Demo cratic party because they were num bered among his defenders. He thanked them for their support In the debate of Monday night. Mr.

Hlnman replied frankly that he had op posed adopting the Frawley report rather from a sense of duty than because he particularly approved of the Governor. When Mr. Schaap appeared the Governor wanted to know how stood the chances of Impeachment. 'They'll crack the whip and get the votes," the Progressive Assemblyman replied. Two or three Assemblymen openly opposed to Governor Sulzer also was called to his office to be told that the Assembly was violating the Constitu tion in trying to impeach him at an extraordinary session not called for that purpose.

Sulzer's Possible Plan. It was believed here today that the Governor will Immediately try to have the impeachment's legality tested by having a State appointee friendly to the Governor refuse to obey an order from Mr. Sulzer on the ground that Lieutenant-Governor Glynn was acting Governor with full powers. Mr. Sulzer would then appeal to the courts.

The opposition laughed at the report of this program. They say no court has the power to review the Assembly's act of Impeachment. DOCTOR DIES A MARTYR Devoted Life To Cancer Cure, But Was Killed By Disease. Berlin, Aug. 13.

Prof. Edwin Goldmann, professor of surgery at Freiburg University, who devoted al most all his life to the study of cancer, died at Freiburg today of cancer of the liver. Professor Goldmann was born at Burgersdorp, South Africa, in 18ti3 He studied medicine at the Breslau and Freiburg Universities and was for 11 years assistant at the Univer sity Hospital In Freiburg.

M.

Seventy or 80 guests, many of them handsomely-gowned women, were ejected from the restaurant by policemen under Inspector Dwyer, who said he was enforcing the Mayor's 1 A. M. closing order, and Thomas Healy and his guests declared that men and women were thrown outi bodily. One young woman, a newspaper writer, said that three Dollcemen dragged her forcibly from a table and hurled her onto the sidewalk. She said that she saw Inspector Dwyer grab a man by the collar and drag him from a table.

Tables Upset And Food Unpaid For, Indignant waiters tried to make the policemen pay for the food that guests were compelled to leave unpaid for, but their demands were In vain. Ta bles were overturned by the police, the diners said, and dishes broken, gowns torn and the restaurant almost wrecked. The guests were forced out without being given time to get their hatB and wraps, and the 50 policemen who made the raid refused to allow them to return for their property. Such of the diners as tried to obtain the names of their police assailants received only sneers. Healy has taken out police court summons against the officers who were in charge of the raid.

They were made returnable today. For a week the police have nightly ordered Healy to close at 1 A. M.t but he insisted on his right to serve food at all hours so long as his bar Is closed at 1 A. M. Marry While You Walt.

As a climax to her story, Mrs. Bul-ser declared that she and her husband had been under a system of constant espionage ever since his nomination and said that her bank books and many Important papers, together with Sutler's love letters written to her before their marriage, had been stolen. Benator Palmer listened in astonishment to her story, and when It was finished promised her he would see that It was repeated to the minority leaders, and that they would be asked to consider the advisability of using It as a final argument to head off the Impeachment. Whether Governor Sulzer concurred In the plan or even knew of Kb Inception Is not known, but it waa soon a matter of common Rosslp around the Capitol. When the dreary session resumed In the evening and dragged along those who had heard the story waited eagerly to see the effect It would have If repeated to the Assembly.

But the time-killing tactics of the majority delayed the springing of the sensation. Battle All Night. Throughout the long night, while tired Assemblymen nodded In their seats, tho Tammany leaders, knowing that they still lacked a few votes of the 76 necessary to put through the Levy impeachment resolution, kept up a constant fire of apeechmaklng and debate In order to prevent a recess. It was 2.30 A. after Aaron J.

Levy and other Tammany men had talked for hours, ostensibly defending the resolution but In reality filibustering to await the arrival of absentees, that Minority Leader Harold .1. Hln-man arose to make the last effort. Mrs. Sulzer The Stock Player. He told the Assembly that Mrs.

Sulzer had assumed the responsibility of the financial transactions and stock market speculation charged against Suker in the Frawley committee's report and was at that moment preparing a formal statement for submission to the Legislature. Hlnman said he was not certain just what Mrs. Hulzer's statement would be, explaining that ho had the facts second hand from Senator Abraham J. Palmer, of KlngRton, to whom "the Governor's lady'' made her alleged confession. Assembly In Uproar.

Hlnman's announcement threw the Assembly into an uproar. Instantly a dozen men were on their feet. The sleepy ones waked up and those who had gone to corridors and committee rooms hurried In, thinking that the crucial vote had been precipitated pro maturely. Meantime, Senator Palmer corroborated Hlnman's Btory and several other Senators admitted they had heard such a report. Taking advantage of the Interest he had created, Hlnman launched Into an attack on the Impeachment resolution.

"It Is not a dignified document," he declared. "It Is such a resolution as any police court rlerk might prepare." To this Assemblyman Cuyvlller retorted that he was willing to take things as they stood, "without quibbling over language." Might Have Revolution. "Why If the i-'rawley committee had reported all that It discovered about Governor Sulzer," he said, "wo would have a revolution." "Let's have anything, so long as we get through," bawled a sleepy member In the back tier. In the midst of the excitement Hlnman moved that the Assembly adjourn until It could hear and consider the statement of Mrs. Hulzer.

The motion was voted down, 73 to 49, but the vote was a rlosn call for Tammany, showing that the organization still lacked three votes of the number necessary to Impeach. Tammany Disbelieves Story. Friends of the Governor frankly ad mitted they did not know what to make of this eleventh hour attempt to save ti til). The Tammany Assem blymen declared that they put no credence tn the story, attributing It solely to the hasty act of a loving wife, willing to make guy sort of ac-riflee for her husband's sake. After tinman's motion for an adjournment, was voted down.

Levy then spoke for three solid hours, killing time until, an absentee could arrive from Hrooklyn. When tltinlly the man appeared, there was a hasty arousing of sleepers anil counting of numbers, and when the Tammany leaders were satlnfleit that they had the required majority on liiind there was a rush to tnko the vote, Not Yet Removed From Office. Over the feeble protests of the minority, the rollrall began at 5.06 M. At fi 16 o'clock It was completed slid William Sulzer stood Impeached. Ho is not yet removed from office, however.

The appointment of Martin 11. Glynn a acting Governor will not come until the Impeachment committee of the Assembly formally reports the charges against the Governor to the Senate, which will sit with the Court of Appeals as a court to try Hulzer. following the adoption of the Levy resolution, there was considerable debate about the procedure to be followed, the naming nf committees and such matters, and mnrethnn twohours elapsed before the formalities were completed. finally the Speaker named Assemblymen Van Woert, Cole and Hradley a committee tn notify the Senate of the Impeachment. The upper house wss not then In session, and the committeemen went, to breakfast.

Tho Speaker then selected Assemblymen lvy, tleilz, Kelly, l)alv and Hryant as the board of Impeachment, to draw up the formal articles, and at 7.25 A. M. the Assembly adjourned until 11 o'clock. Bitter Fight Certain. It was certain today that there will lie a bitter contest for the office of (iovernor when the Impeachment pro.

ceedlngs reached tho Senate, Aaron J. Levy. Tammany leader In the As- sembly who prepared the resolution and who Is chairman of the committee of impeachment, declared that Gov. erhor Sulzer automatically would he suspended and Lieutenant-Governor Glynn become acting Oovernur whin The impeachment proceedings i. i ieiiHu; hi wmrii uoniiuiiici's tue appointed 10 iiuorm trie ju(iges of the of Appeals that such action had been taken and calling upon them to sit with the Senate as a trial court.

It has been determined that charges must be served on the Governor within ID days. His trial must he fixed for a date not earlier than 30 days and not later than (0 days following the date of the session at which the impeachment took place. He automatically becomes Acting Governor of New York through the Impeachment of Governor Sulzer. the articles of Impeachment reached the Senate. Friends of the Governor took an entirely different view.

They asserted that Sulzer would be Governor until the Senate passed on the charges preferred by the Assembly. They pointed out that the present Constitution of the State of New York does not cover the point. Its provisions regarding Impeachment Bpply only to the removal of "Judicial officers." The old Constitution provided for the automatic suspension of the Governor by the filing of charges. Lieutenant-Governor Glynn declined to trke any hand in the controversy. He said it would have to be settled by the Son-ate.

May Call Out Militia. That Governor Hulzer will decline to step out Is regarded as certain, and It Is equally certain that tho Tammany majority will declare Glynn acting Governor Immediately. It Is believed that Sulzer will decline to surrender the Executive office and the seal, and some of the more radical of the Sulzer partisans declared the Governor would call out the militia to aid him. Secret Visit By Frawley. Various attempts were mado today by Tammany men to explain the secret visit last night to Governor 8ul-zer's office of Senator James J.

Fraw-ley, chairman of the Investigating committee. Frawley, looking over his shoulder to Bee that he was not shadowed, called at the Governor's office and was inHldo for 10 minutes. John A. Hennessy, chairman of Governor Sul-zer'B investigating committee, is considering legal steps to enable him to examine Frawley as to his political and business past, and Tammany is said to be apprehensive. The court of Impeachment that will try Governor Sulzer will consist of the Senato and the Court of Appeals.

The Judges of the Court nf Appeals are Chief Judge Edgar M. Cullen, Associates John Clinton Gray, William E. Werner, Wlllard Bartlett, Frank H. Hiscock, Emory A. Chase, Frederick Collin, William H.

13. A girl and two young men, the last persons to rent the room In which the dead body of William O. Martin, a wealthy milliner of Toronto, Canada, was found, were being sought by the police today. Two pairs of corsets and two hats, from which all Identification marks had been cut, were found In the room in which Martin lay murdered, with hla hands tied behind him and a rubber gas tubing and a towel stuffed Into his mouth, giving the appearance of suicide. Investigation disclosed the fact that two young men and a girl, the oldest 22 years, who represented that the girl was his wife and the other young man his brother, rented the room on August 7, and that the landlord was going to order them to leave when he found Martin's body, partly dressed, on the bed.

The suicide theory was discarded when It was found that several hundred dollars' worth of Jewelry and money were missing. A woman giving the name of Mrs. liarrett reported to the police that Martin was missing, explaining that he had come direct to her home, at West, Fifty-eighth street, on hla arrival In the city and she had showed him around the various department stores. When he disappeared early Monday evening and did not continue his purchasing trips on Tuesduy she became alarmed and repotted him mlsHlug. She Identified Martin's body.

KEPT THE WIRES HOT Got Many Republican Leaders Di rect And Forced Hia Program. New York, Aug. 13. Charles F. Murphy, boss of Tammany Hall, put In a busy day at his home In East Seventeenth street yesterday directing Hie Impeachment fight.

Murphy came to the city early yesterday from his country place at Good Ground Long Island, and went direct to his home to take personal command pf his forces. Murphy kept his own telephone busy conferring with lieutenants In the Senate and Assembly at Albany, but he also kept Thomas F. Smith, secre- ary of Tammany, and Philip Dono- hue, his personal attendant, on the Jump, calling up members of the Assembly, who, to escape responsibility, were keeping away from Albany, Told To Go And Vote. Every member of the Legislature Murphy could reach was directed to be In his place in the Assembly last night to vote for the resolution Impeaching the Governor. Murphy kept up the fight throughout the day.

He was determined to force his program to ouBt the Governor through and used every resource at his command to make sure of this result. He dented himself to all callers, and refused to make any comment for publication. It was evident the Tammany boss was worried and disappointed over conditions at Albany. He had counted on aid from William Barnes, boss of the Republican machine, In his fight to oust Sulzer and was very- angry when he discovered Barnes had repudiated his agreement to furnish Republican votes. Murphy was not without Republi can aid, however.

As soon as he found Barnes had decided not to help him, he made direct appeals to Abe Gruber, George W. Aldrlch and other Republican machine leaders who have aided Tammany at Albany In the past In order to get as many Republican votes against Sulzer as possible, BOOSTER TO SURRENDER Oklahoma Real Estate Man Says Ha Is 8ur Of Acquittal, Washington, Aug. 13.

i 1 'SULZER IMMUNE ON STOCK DEALS' This Is Opinion Of Leading Attorneys In The House Of Congress. Washington, Aug. 13. Prominent attorneys In the House today ex pressed the opinion that Governor Sulzer cannot be Impeached for per sonal acts committed before he became Governor. 'The Governor's privileges are based on the Constitution," said Representative Flood, of Virginia, chair man of the Foreign Affairs Commit tee and a leading constitutional law yer of that body.

"The Legislature cannot add or subtract any qualifica tions upon which Impeachment pro ceedings can be brought." Representative Francis Burton Har rison, of New York, another promi nent lawyer, stated that It was a ques tion whether the Impeachment can lie for acts committed before Sulzer took the oath. He regarded the situation as simply doubtful. Representative Montague, former Governor of Virginia, said: "As a general proposition impeachment cannot He upon acts which are committed prior to induction Into of flee and which are personal and not relating to the office." Representative Henry, of Texas, chairman of the Houseltules Commit tee, and other "legal fights" said the Jurisdiction of the Legislature to Im peach for acts prior to the Governor's Inauguration were very qountrui.

MRS, SULZER TO TESTIFY AT TRIAL Confession Is Fully Con firmed By Senator Palmer Today. Albany, N.

Aug. 13. Senator Abraham .1. Palmer, to whom Mrs. William Sulzer mnde the startling announcement that she virtually waB responsible so far as the use of the Governor's rumpulgn funds In buying stock was concerned, confirmed the story today.

Senator Palmer said: "Last night I couldn't say anything beyond referring all Inquirers to Mrs. Sulzer. That was because the Gov ernor had requested me not to repeat what she told me, declaring that he did not care to have his wife used as a shield against Impeachment. The story having beeu told, there can be no harm In continuing It. 1 told It lust night to Senators Frawley and Foley, with the Governor's Injunction of secrecy.

'I understand she will," was his reply. "In fact, she will have to 'Do you understand, Senator, that she claims to hnve signed the Gover nor's name to all tho checks used In the Wall street transaction?" Looks On Husband As Child. 'That Is what I understand," Sena tor Palmer replied. "Hho told mo that, or that Is the way I understand It. Mrs.

Suiter looks on her husband as a mere child, so far as household finances are concerned. The Governor has no Idea of tho value of money, and she understands this." At the Executive mansion It was stated that Mrs. Sulzer was completely worn out by the strain she bad been under and that nothing further could be expected from her today. She remained In her room. Leader Levy made the comment that Mrs, Sulzer's confession "looked like an eleventh-hour attempt of a faithful wife to shield her husband."
