OF BOWERY
! STREET IS HALTED
BY G|LLEN ORDER
Board of Works Official Acts on
Complaint That Work Isn't
Up to Specifications.

Complaints regarding the manner
in which the work was being done
led TODAY to an issuance of an order
which puts a temporary stop to the
paving of Bowery street The order
was sent out by Commissioners
Charles p Giilen. chairman Of the
street committee of the Board of
Works. He acted after he had re-
ceived a number of complaints in
which II was stated that the routed
granite blocks were not being laid
in accordance with the specifications
Of the contract. An investigation by
Commissioner Gillen led to the dis
eoverv of evidence that the COM
plants were not without justiflca-
ton. He then told the contractor to
cease work on the job.
The Bowery street contract is re-
garded as most important paving
operation as the thoroughfare is q
main artery for wagon traffic bound
for New York over the Plank Road.
1t also carries a heavy local vehicu-
lar traffic.
J. J. Hughes, Inc, made the low
bid for the Bowery street work and
kluently, however, the company was
thrown INTO bankruptcy.
Wilfred G. RosZel. the receiver, un-
dertook to carry out the work and
Ralph San Giovanni, another con-
tractor, began to pave one side of
FIVE blocks of Bowery street.
The work has been progressing very
slowly and objections on this ground
reached Mr.. Gillen. He inspected the
paving operations on Tuesday and
was not altogether satisfied. Later on
he was informed that cellar sand and
earth was being used in place Of the
specified grade of sharp sand in mix
ing the concrete for the base of the
paving.
"a base made without the proper
sand couldn't be called concrete at
ALL" said Mr.. Gillen today. "In o
short time 1t would crumble and I'LL
timately the pavement would sink In
places. have found that the base
was worthless in other streets so /
thought 1t would be advisable to call
q halt on this job until we can In
vestigate."
Work on the paving Of Bowery
street was begun more than month
ago. AS q result of the failure of
the Hughes concern the street has
been left in a badly torn condition
which has caused great inconvenience
20. merchants along the thoroughfare
and to factory owners.
! The condition of Bowery street has
also added difficulties to automobile
drivers using the Plank Road Many
Of the drivers, unaware of paving
and the delay, have been
caught ON their way either to or from
the Plank Road. Last Saturday hum
areds of out-of-town automobiles
7oundered through Bowery street on
their way from New York to Prince
ton TO attend college football game.

Declares Beiliss's Acuuittal
! Was Blow TO Jewish People

The prosecution of Mendel Beiliss,
who was accused of ritual murder"
snd acquitted, is, in the opinion of
Joseph Barondes, head master Of the
Order of Zion and member of the
New York Board of Education, a ter
rife slap against the people of Jewish
faith. Mr. Barondes addressed mass
meeting OF the First Newark Zion So
aiety in the Ross Metropolitan
Theatre, at Charlton and Montgomery
streets, last night.
He declared that public opinion had
been aroused against the autocratic
government. and. had Beiliss been
convicted this resentment would
have increased. where now he fears

ITO FIGHT
I'M lU A Finish

&. When Court Members
Are Seated
HIS LAWYERS ARGUE
Will Rely ON Technicalities to Over.
throw Charges.-Acting Gov
crnOr Recognized.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 19.-Governcr
William Suffers first line of defense
in the impeachment charges against
him, was utterly splintered" today by
an unanimous vote of the high court
of impeachment to admit members OF
the court, Senators Wagner, Frawley
Sanner and Ramsperger, whom his
counsel had challenged. The vote fol-
lowed a decisive opinion from presd-
ing Judge Cullen that the challenged
judges must sit.
The subsequent lines of defense by
the governor are:
First, the contention that the high
court is without jurisdiction because
the assembly had no right to impeach
The fight on this was begun with a
,two-hour argument by Louis Mar
shall, for the governor, which will be
continued on reconvening at 2 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon.
Second, that the acts of the COVER
nor cited in the articles do not con-
stitute cause for impeachment. This
contention, which will be argued for
Sulzer by Austin G. Fox. is based on
the assertion that whatever corrupt
conduct sSulzer may have committed
was committed before he became gov
Ia, efn K l. 49,
y Third, that the articles OF impeach-
ment are defective in form. Every ar
ticle will be attacked separately in
the legal skirmish over this allega-
ton. - - = !, ~, -
!. Fourth, a straight out and out fight
on the facts as charged in the indict-
y ment with scores of witnesses and
masses Of evidence on both sides.
1t is certain that the governor and
\ bis lawyers intend now to fight to the
e. end, But their greatest hope is clear
ly based on their ability by raising
1 technical objections to have the bill of
impeachment dismissed and to save
the governor from the humiliation OF
an actual trial. The fact that on two
points Suffers lawyers occupied
three hours of today's session proves
how savagelys they propose, to fight
before they submit their case on the
l facts.
In view Of the plain intention OF the
defense to make this a fight on tech
nicalities the, highest Importance Is
attached to statement made from the
bench today by presiding Judge Gull
len, whose will has thus far been i'm
1 pressed on the court as the ultimate
law. He said:
"Of course, this court is not ex'
pected to proceed with the technical

the situation were happening

First, James C. Garrison, arrested
early this morning for contempt of
the Legislature, was taken from ease
1ul quarters and put in solitary con-
flnement in cell in the Albany court
penltentiary This was done at the
instance OF assembly leaders who
heard that Garrison was living much
as Banker Robin lived in the Tombs.
The second event of moment was a
letter to Acting Governor Glynn, from
Suffers secretary, which recognized
Glynn's authority to act as governor
and submitted extradition matters for
the acting governors signature. This
is the first time that Sulzer by word
or deed has intimated lack of belief in
his power to act as governor of the
state. The plan to amend the articles
OF Impeachment and add three new
charges was abandoned by the as
sembly leaders tonight, after an al
most continuous effort of forty-eight
hours to get the necessary votes.
Although such legal heavyweights
as Alton B. Parker and d. Cady Her
rick and Louis Marshall for the de-
tense, took Wordy part in the big
fight in the high court today, the pre-
siding judge with a few words took
charge Of the situation and directed it
in a business like fashion, with which
the trial was begun.
Organization was effected immedi-
ately on the admission of the four
senators as full Pledged members.
The rules of the supreme court of the
state were adopted. This, in the opin-
ion of a number of lawyers, is vic
tory for Sulzer, as strictly interpreted
the rules will admit of all the techni-
calities with which any defendant is
permitted to hedge himself about un-
der the law.
The afternoon session was given
over wholly to the long arguments of
Louis Marshall against the jurisdic-
ton of the court. Mr.. Marshall held
that the assembly had no right to i'm
peach Sulzer in special session and
that consequently the court, acting on
a faulty indictment, had no right to
try the case He read his argument
from printed brief of more than
ninety pages and was still reading
when the hour of adjournment came
at $3.50. -
AS he did yesterday, Governor Sui
ger remained through the day at the
executive mansion. He took a brief
walk with his dog, "Patsy," in the aft
ernoon and kept his ear to the tele-
phone from which he got reports sent
by Secretary Plat, direct from the
trial side. ... -.
Sulzer Blames Murphy.
Little Rock, Sept. 19.-The Demo
crat today published an interesting
letter from Governor William Sulzer
of New York, now on trial before an
Impeachment court.
The letter is an interesting one, re-
fleeing the close personal views OF
"Billy," who is under severe fire.
The recipient of the letter, Attor-
new Oscar H. VIM, today said ne
wrote Mr.. Sulzer a sympathetic let
ter few days ago, and the Sulzer
answer came back by almost the first
mail.
