REMOVAL Of.
GOVERNOR
NOW SURE
But Fourteen Members of High
Court of impeachment Vote
to Save Executive.

ALBANY, n. Y, Oct. 16.-Gov-
ernor William sulzer has been ten
tatively found guilty upon three ar
ticles OF impeachment out Of the
eight brought against him. The 9TH
er five have not been sustained.
This was the semi official report
that followed the adjournment of the
court OF impeachment at 1:11 o'clock
this afternoon after being in session
nearly three hours. The adjourn
ment was taken until 3 o'clock, when
it was expected that the final vote
would be taken.
The three articles upon which the
tentative agreement was reached to
render a verdict OF guilty were:
Article THE charge that the
Governor made false campaign
statement to the Secretary OF State.
Article c-The charge that the
Governor committed perjury in max
ing the statement.
sArticle 4-The charge that the
Governor advised Duncan W. Peck to
swear falsely before the Brawley
committee.
A verdict of guilty upon any one
of the articles is sufficient basis for
the removal OF the Governor
1t was learned that the vote on
article 4 stood 43 to IA for convic-
tion, and It was reported that Judge
Cullen was the only member OF the
Court of Appeals who sided with the
Governor
The decision reached in executive
session made it practically certain
that the court would remove the
Governor.
After the court had passed upon
the articles 1t was decided that the
resolution inhicting punishment
should carry with it removal from Of
flee, but not disqualification to hold
any other office.
Fourteen members voted to save
the Governor.
They were Judge Cullen and Sena-
tors Dupamel, Emerson, Heacock,
Mcknight, O'Keefe. Palmer, Peck
ham. Seely, Stivers, Thomas, Wende.
Wheeler and Whitney.
The Governor clearly had a chance
TO escape conviction. but even his
friends admitted it was slim and his
accusers predicted verdict Of guilty
would be returned within SO hours.

Congressman Richmond P. Hobson,

fire a mighty broadside at Congress-
man oscar Underwood, of Alabama,
amplifying on his charges that the
tariff maker is a tool of Wall

THE Senatorial fight in Alabama

up the fighting Congressman to re-
porter for The Georgian.
"On the one side, marshaled by
Underwood, are the conservatives re-

and liquor interests. On the other
are the liberal progressive, construo-
tive and temperance and prohibition
forces
The present administration of Ala

Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1913-04-08
Whole Families on Roofa

All Of the first terrible night, while
the city of Peru, Ind, was in inky
darkness because of the cutting off of
the gas and electric light supply, men,
women and children, and in some in
stances entire families, lay fiat where
they had crawled to the roofs of their
homes, waiting for daylight to bring
relief. Hundreds of others were
TANNED in the courthouse and lodge
buildings, which were in the only four
blocks Of the city not under water.
The first thought of rescue parties
was to send into the town boats to
carry to safety those who were threat
ened with drowning Telephone COM
munication had been opened with
points in the residence and business
districts and from those marooned in
buildings it was learned that many
persons, including some women who
held their children in their arms, had
been on roofs exposed to an almost
freezing temperature all night. One
man teIephoned he had seen several
fall from exhaustion and slip into the
water. 1t was the purpose of the res
cuers first to reach those in greatest
danger. Hundreds of others huddled
together at the courthouse, although
in want of food and water, were to be
taken later.

Tn. Man on the Boot

There were two heroes on the Day
ton floods. Their names are NJ. B.
Stohl and c. ID. Williamson, and they
are employees of the American Tele-
graph and Telephone company.
Stohl is a wire chief at Dayton. He
reached the Dayton Office of his COM
pany late the night before the floods
came. The rush of the waters put all
the telephone batteries and power out
of commission. Forgetting thoughts
OF escape, Stohl rummaged around
until he found a lineman's test set
With this he rugged up a sending and
receiving apparatus, and cut in upon
the wire on the roof of the four-story
building. This wire connected him
with Phoneton. testing station eight
miles away. Thus he established COM
munication with Williamson, whose
batteries were still working.
Then Stohl sent messages from the
flooded city, otherwise cut of from
communication with the outside world.
All night he stuck 10 his post All next
day he remained. The following noon
found him still on the roof of build
ing whose foundations were being
sapped by the waters.
There he stayed in the rain and cold
with the prospect of death staring him

Victims Are Cheerful.

One OF the remarkable features was
the cheerful spirit with which flood
victims viewed their plight This was
Dayton's first great flood in many
years. Much of the submerged area
had been considered safe from high
water, but as the majority of resi-
dents of these sections looked out on
all sides upon a great sweep of muddy,
swiftly moving water, they seemed I'M
disturbed
In some of the poorer sections the
attitude of the marooned was not so
cheerful. As motor boat passed be-
fore the second floor of one partly
submerged house a man leaned out
and threatened to shoot unless they
took off his wife and baby that had
just been born. The woman, almost
dying. was let down from the window
by a rope and taken to a place of
refuge.
Further on, members OF motor
boat party were startled by shots in
the second floor of a house about
which five feet of water swirled The
boat was stopped and a man peered
from the window of the house.
Why are you shooting?" he was
asked.
''Oh. just amusing myself shooting
at rats that come upstairs When are
you going to take me out of here?"
he replied

Hernna In All Glasses

If a great loss of life was averted
at Peru this is due to some heroes of
the Owen Wister type, river men and
water rats from surrounding lakes,
who by unbelievable prowess with
pair of frail oars rescued the doomed,
and in splendid harmony with their
virile efforts shines the spirit of wom-
en- who valiantiy helped. supremely
oblivious to distressing surroundings
Among the latter are Mrs. R. H.
Bouslog. Mrs. R. c. Edwards, and
Mrs. Albert Shirk, all three wives
of local millionaires, and also leaders
in the selfsacrifices required to pro-
vide sandwiches, coffee and smiles to
a panic stricken multitude In emer-
gency quarters.
Among the boatmen two brothers,
Charley and Ted Knight. are praised
on the corners left in Peru. Ted, with
w A Huff. a dentist, braved the tur-
bulent waters of the Wabash river,
cutting off Peru on the south side
and rendering uncertain the fate of the
inhabitants OF South Peru. According
to the report the two rescuers reached
the opposite shore alive, after having
been overturned several times.
