FIGHT ON FREE
SUGAR IS WON

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 The
fight over free sugar. one of the
crucial tests of the tariff bill, was
made and won by the administra-
ton in the Senate this afternoon.
Free sugar, after three years,
was written in the bill by a vote
of SO to Sd by a strict party vote
with the exception of Senators
Thornton and Ransdell of Louis
lana. The vote came on t h e
Bristow amendment to reduce
the rates on sugar from 81. 80 per
100 lbs. as in existing law, to
$1.52 1-2 with an additional re-
duction in periods of three and
six years until it finally reached
$1.27. This with the Cuban pre-
ferencial, amounted to a duty of
! | cent a pound.

GOVERNOR SULZFR
Is IMPEACHED

ALBANY, N. Y, August Is.
AT 5 O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing, after an all-night session,
the assembly of the New York
legislature, by the vote Of 70 to
as, adopted articles of impeach-
ment against Governor William
Sulzer on the strength of dis
closures made by the Fawley in
vestigating committee concerning
the personal use of money con-
tributed to his campaign funds
in Wall street speculation. That
was three more than the neces-
sary majority, and the vote was
delayed in order that sufficient
members could be brought in by
the Democratic organization lead
ers. The latter took pains to
make it clear to all that at the
moment the resolution of i'm
parchment was presented to the
senate Governor Sulzer would
cease automatically to be the
chief executive of the state.
This view was not, however,
the one held by the friends of the
governor. A committee of nine
members was then appointed to
manage the impeachment pro-
ceedings before the senate, and
with this majority in hand the
assembly proceeded to pass a
number of important bills over
the governors veto.
The impeachment proceedings
of that night session went for
ward relentlessly under the Tam
many lash, Notwithstanding a re-
markable eleventh hour confess
sion which one senator reported
that the wife of Governor Sulzer
had made, to the effect that it
was she who had diverted the
governors campaign funds to
stock speculation and that she
had done SO without his know
ledge, signing his name to the
checks, according to her custom
in helping him with business af-
fairs. Though not as yet form

Was Arrested Upon
Information Of Officials

COATICOOK, Quebec, Aug.
10. Harry X. Thaw is under ar
rest here. He will be arraigned
at Sherbrooke as a fugitive from
justice in the United States.
The final disposition of tn
prisoner, however, rests with the
Dominion government.
Thaw was arrested this morn
ing at ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
village near here. An hour be-
fore he had driven across the line
from New Hampshire. He ad-
mitted his identity and compla-
Gently declared that he could not
be extradited as he had commit
ed no crime.
Two men, who are supposed to
have accompanied Thaw in his
spectacular flight from the insane
hospital a t Matteawan, N e w
York, last Sunday morning, were
in his company, and also were
detained.
They were charged with be
ing under suspicion of having
committed an offense in another
and friendly nation. The two
men, one of large build and the
other a smaller man, at once re-
tanned counsel and refused to dis
cuss their identity.
The five-hundred- dollar reward
f or Thaw's arrest belongs to
Deputy Sheriff B. III. Kelsea, Of
Colebrook, N. H., who recognized
Thaw on Maine Central railroad
train last night. After the fugi-
tive had left the train at HEREFORD,
kelsea pursued him to Hermen-
egilde-Garford, where, at the re-
quest of the sheriff, a Canadian
constable placed the fugitive I'M

MEXICO WILLING TO

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 20. T
Earther negotiations looking to a
beaceful settlement of the Mexi-
can situation following Provision
al President Huerta's rejection
of President Wilson'S proposal as
submitted by his personal repres-
entative John Lind would appear
now to depend upon Washington.
If the United States government
is willing to reopen the contro-
versy there is every rea on to be-
lieve that the Mexican govern
ment would be willing. An Of
fetal statement from Federico
Gambia, t h e Mexican Foreign
Minister, says that the negotia-
tons between Mr.. Lind and the
Mexican government have not
been entirely broken off but that
they ARE being continued con-
fidentially."
Ex-Governor Lind is to d a y
awaiting instructions from Wash
ington. He still is optimistic and
believes that the Mexican govern
ment may yet elect to entertain
President Wilson peace proposal.

Lind Must LEAVE
CITY At Once

WASHINGTON, Aug. 49,
The action of General Huerts in
Mexico City tonight in handing
!. passports to Special Ambassador
John Lind and severing diplomat
ic relations wi h the United
States cannot result in anything
else but war, officials here fear
at this hour.
1t S likely that the United
States government will retaliate
by demanding that the Mexican
Charge de Affaires leave this
country Immediately. This will
J mean war without a doubt.
With Congress in session it is
likely that President Wilson will
make official an of the insult that
has been heaped upon this coun-
try by Mexico and will ask that
war be declared Immediately.
He will make public Tuesday the
test of his instructions to Lind
and his message to Huerta.
MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Aug.
IS General Huerta has defied
the United States. His answer
to the proposition of President
Wilson was m a d e known to
special envoy John Lind today.
1t reduces all proffers of media
ton or any similar suggestion
from any foreign government.
Envoy John Lind has forwarded
Huerta's reply to Washington
and will take no further steps
until he gets instructions from
the American State Department.
The reply of Huerta is similar to
the answer that was given to the
previous communication by Presl-
dent Madero which answer was
construed by the United States
officials as saying to the United
States that it might as well mind
it's own business and let Mexico
alone.

ally made public by the governor
or bis friends this rumor was
made the basis of a motion to re-
consider the Impeachment resolu-
ton; but the majority would not
have it so. Friends of the gov
ernor were quick to see the inn
portance of the story in it's rela-
ton to public opinion and to the
forthcoming trial. The governor
made it known that he regarded
the whole proceedings as illegal,
anyhow, as in his opinion the ex-
ira session had ceased.
Lieutenant Governor Glynn at
once laid claim to the office of
governor, and declared his inten-
ton of assuming the duties of the
office the following day. Thus
for the first time in the history
of this country, two men, both
of the same party connections,
were disputing the governorship
of state.
The date of the impeachment
trial was fixed for September Is,
the taking of evidence to begin
September %. In a statement
to the public, Chief Counsel Her.
rick, for the governor, said that
Mr.. Sulzer was advised not to
try the case in the papers, but
that they were satisfied that he
was not guilty of willful wrong
doing and that they asked the
public to suspend judgment until
the facts were brought out at the
trial. 1T was still uncertain
whether Mrs. Sulzer would be al
lowed to testify regarding her al
legged handling of the governors
campaign funds. She was re-
ported in a nervous collapse, ow-
ing to the anxiety under which
she had been laboring, and ply
sicians were called to attend her.
All day Thursday two men
were claiming to be the governor
Of New York and various state
officials were taking sides, some
with Sulzer and others with
Glynn, while confusion and COM
plication held sway over the
public affairs of the state. Ru-
NOR had it that Sulzer and his
legal advisers were planning a
commensurate by bringing
charges of conspiracy and treason
against Leader Murphy and his
official aids in the legislature.
Governor Sulzer was served with
the articles of impeachment by a
messenger. But his chief con-
ern at the moment was for thu
health of Mrs. Sulzer, who was
reported to be in a critical condi-
ton of nerve collapse, on account
of the impeachment of her hus-
band and of her alleged confess
sion of the signing of the checks
in his name for investment.
On Friday Lieutenant Governor
Glynn sent to Governor Sulzer a
letter formally demanding that
the latter surrender the office
and the executive chamber to the
former, in view of the impeach-
nent. To this the impeached
governor sent formal reply, say

Walks From Gate To
Waiting Automobile

| MATTEAWAN, N. Y, Aug.
IL. Harry K. Thaw, the slayer
of Stamford White, escaped from
the hospital for the criminal in
sane at 7:45 this morning.
! A dart for liberty through an
open gate, a dash into the open
door of an automobile with a
limousine that stood quivering
outside and a flight for the Con-
necticut state line 30 miles away
accompanied his escape. Tonight
he was still at large.
Once beyond it's boundaries
Thaw is free. Only months, per-
haps years of litigation can bring
him back to Matteawan and then
only in one event that he be adj
judged insane in the state to
which he is fled. Five confede-
rates manned the car in which
Thaw escaped. The police have
their descriptions and the names
under which they registered in a
local hotel Friday.
The hospital authorities believe
that Thaw has fled to Long Is
land sound and in a yacht will
escape to Europe.
A reward of $500 for Thaw's
apprehension has been offered by
DIR. R. F. c. Kieb, superintendent
of the asylum. Howard H. Bar
mum, the attendant at the gate
past whom Thaw flashed is under
arrest and other arrests are ex-
pected to follow in the rigid in
vestigation DR.. Kieb is making.
The shades were drawn in the
dormitorys and the inmates were
getting their second sleep when
Thaw dressed and walked from
the domitory to an outer court.
A milkman's cart was rumbling
on the road outside when he
walked into the store room and
| to the outer courts. Barnum the
only attendent, was pacing out
side and apparently did not grant
Thaw a second look.
Long years of residence at the
asylum and repeated declarations
by Thaw that he would never at
tempt to regain his freedom ex-
cept through the courts had
caused the attendants to be less
vigilant.
A six cylinder touring car,
black, so horse power, followed
by the limousine loafed along the
road as the milkman passed the
gate Thaw waited until Barnum
unlocked the gate to let the milk
man enter. At the same moment
the two cars drew up on the
further side of the road.
AS Barnum stepped aside for
the milkman to drive inside he
heard the gravel crash under
Thaw's feet. He dashed through
the gate.
With a shout Barnum started
in pursuit but a flying leap landed
Thaw in the car. The great
wheels were slowly turning be-
fore the keeper reached the road
way.
Down the roadway the cars
sped in a whirling cloud of dust
that quickly blotted them from
sight. For a moment Barnum
watched them. Then with the
first blot on his career of 20 years
as keeper at the asylum he re-
turned to report to the superin-
tendent.
The asylum housed Thaw not
as a murderer but an insane per-
son. The jury that sent him
here acquitted him of the murder
of Stamford White on the same
ground that he was sent to the

The Texas floods are unprece-
dented. The rainfall for three
days last week caused the streams
and small rivers in the central
part of the state to become rag
ing torrents, covering the coun-
try for miles on each side. The
number of people lost is near two
hundred, and perhaps will ex-
coed that. The property loss is
estimated at four or five millions.
A feeling of safety caused a
number to remain in their homes
until the raging waters were
overwhelming them. Many died
from exposure, while in trees
and on housetops. A majority
lost are supposed to be negroes,
though a number of prominent
white men were drowned in try
ing to save their property.
