ANOTHER BLOW TO
GOVERNOR |l|' SULzER
Impeachment Court Votes
That Assembly Had Legal
Right to Prefer Charges.
PREPARE FOR TRIAL
Justice Cullen Gives An Effective
Opinion in Casting His
Vote.
PREPARE FOR TRIAL

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 22.-By the
overwhelming vote of sc to 20 the
Court of Impeachment today decided
that the Assembly had right under
the law to impeach William Sulzer,
of high crimes and misdemeanors
and that the trial must therefore
proceed.
This means that Sulzer must go to
trial on evidence That the third
line of defense based on the conten-
ton of articles Of Impeachment are
inadequate, will not save him from
trial. even If successful
The vote taken after a brief execu-
tive session of the court was stag
gering blow to the Sulzer defense and
sent the governors lawyers scurry-
ing to the books to prepare for to-
morrow's attack on the indictment
and to make ready for the last fight
on the facts which is now inevitable.
Here is in substance the opinion
given by Justice Cullen when, as the
tenth Of those responding. he made
the almost unanimous vote a certain

II vote no. And l might as well
take this opportunity of expressing
the treason for my vote. 1t is urged
W xounsel for the managers of the
] impeachment that the Assembly has
the right to vote at any time and
present particulars of impeachment
From that declaration I dissent in
toto. 1t is true that it is the las
sembly that has the right given it
by the constitution to impeach, but
/, the Assembly does not consist OF
the individual members of it's body
except when they are duly assembled
1t would lead to anarchy and the ex-
IRENE case that has been suggested
that a governor might commit trea-

to imagine it is quite improba BILE and

to 1t. Anyway extreme cases do not

APPEAL TO CONGRESS

Washington, Sept. 22.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission has
found the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad responsible for
the recent wreck at Wallingford,
Conn.,, in which twenty-one lives
were lost. It will appeal to Congress
for action to prevent similar disas-
tiers in the future.
The report of the committee in the
investigation conducted by Commits
sioner McChord and Chief Inspector
Belknap will be made public on
Wednesday, 1t will hold that the
.Wallingford wreck was due to the
railroad disregarding the warning
issued by the Commission following
previous disasters. This warning
was that there was lack of discip-
line on the system owing to lack
of effective supervision.
The committee now believes that
congressional action is the only ef-
fective remedy. The Commission has
no authority to inflict punishment for
disobedience of their orders and they
hope that Congress will invest their
board with more than the mere func.
ton of reporting on a wreck and
making suggestions which are seldom
| followed.

THAW CASE UP TO

dition.
MOTHER WITH HARRY
Thaw Issues Statement.-Grand Jury
Refuses to Return True
Bill.
MOTHER WITH HARRY

Concord N. H., Sept 22.-In the
eXtradition before Governor ,Felker
tomorrow in the State Capitol, Harry
Thaw will be represented by New
Hampshire lawyers None of his New
York attorneys will be present. Mr..
Grossman, who was here today, limited
before returning to New York that
sensational developments might be
expected with some mysterious move
engineered by William Travers Je-
rome in the Duchess county courts.
The general belief is that in the alb
sence of an indictment against Thaw
the governor will decline to sign the
extradition papers. Speculation to-
day devolved mainly around the pos
sibility of Jerome bringing about an
indictment on some other charge
than that of conspiracy.
Mrs. Mary Copeley Thaw, accom-
panied by her son and maid, arrived
here this evening. They went at once
to the Eagle Hotel, where Mrs. Thaw
and Harry talked until late hour.
I'VE have no fear of the outcome"
said Mrs. Thaw. ''No fair-minded
person or fair-minded official wants
to see my son sent back to that aw-
full insane asylum r. /
T In statement issued tonight Thaw
said: "My desire is to see my moth
er again in peace and comfort, such
as we enjoyed before we became the
target for the attacks of a few rich
and influential gentlemen in New
York. We hope the people in New
Hampshire will help us on our way
home" a.i

Dr.. Scholer today. II am inclined

A psychopathic ward has been estab-
lished at the Naval Medical School Hos
pital in this city for the observation
and treatment of certain officers and en-
listed men of the navy and marine corps
whose condition does not require their
commitment TO the Government Hospital
for the Insane.
The action was taken in order that pa
tients afflicted with slight or temporary
mental disorders may escape the stigma
Of having been inmates of an insane
asylum. 1t is held that such cases can
easily be cared for in a psychopathic
ward of the regular hospital and will at
all times be under the immediate con-
troll of officers OF the service until they
recover or 1t becomes necessary to trans
fer them to the government insane asy-
lum.
