WILLIAM SULzER
IS IMPEACHED
Governor of New York Accused
of Larceny and Perjury.
SUMMARY OF THE CHARGES
Diversion of Campaign Contributions
for Stock Speculation Is Alleged
Story of the Executives Fight
With Tammany

Albany, n. Y.-Wflliam Sulzer, gov
ernor of New York, has been impeach-
ed by the lower house of the state leg
islature, and will be tried by the SEN
ate and the circuit court of appeals,
sitting together as a court of i'm
parchment. The article of impeach-
Tnent, which were adopted by vote
OF 70 to IS, charge the governor with
perjury and larceny of campaign funds
and with other slightly less serious Of
lenses.
An important part Of the charge is
that Mr.. Sulzer diverted campaign
contributions to his private use and
invested them in stocks. Just before
the Impeachment Mrs. Sulzer made a
statement to the effect that she had
taken part of the campaign money and
bought stocks with it in Wall street.
She will probably take the witness
stand at the trial to tell this story.
Charges Against SuIzer
Stripped of their legal verbiage, the
articles of impeachment against Gov
ernor Sulzer are as follows:
THAT Governor Sulzer, in filing
his statement of campaign expenses,
set forth that his entire receipts were
$5,460 and his expenditures s7,724;
that this statement was false and
was intended by him to be false" that
his list of receipts failed to include
IL specific contributions, ranging in
amount from 800 to $4,000.
2-That Governor Sulzer attached to
his statement of campaign expenses
an affidavit declaring that the state
ment was "a full and detailed state
ment of all moneys received or con-
tributed OF expended by him directly
or indirectly" That this affidavit was

OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State institutions and From
Many Different Parts OF
the Sunshine State.

Sioux Falls.-In accordance with an
opinion rendered by Royal c. Johnson.
attorney general Of South Dakota, on
a case arising from Roberts county,
that and other counties in the state
VIII be compelled 10 refund TO the tax
ing districts of the counties a large
sum of money as their share of certain
tax, penalties and interest alleged by
the attorney general to have been lille
gdiiy collected. In Roberts county the
illegal collections are stated TO have
extended back over period of about
six years. In common with the other
counties in the state it has been the
practice in Roberts county TO divide
the interest and penalties received
from delinquent taxes between the
state and county general funds, and it
is this practice which the attorney gen
eral says is wrong, and intimates that
proper refunds will have TO be made.
So far as Roberts county is concerned.
Just what the aggregate refund will
be cannot be estimated as yet, but it
will run into the thousands of dol
lars. 1t has been computed that under
the opinion of the attorney general
the city of Sisseton alone will be en-
titled 10 s1,54S.37. while the Sisseton
school district will receive an addi-
tional $1,585.55. Every village, town
ship and school district in the county,
as well as in other counties will come
in for their share of these funds.
