Grand Rapids. Mich. Sept. 1S.-An
important step was taken by the city
looking forward toward a rehearing of
phe recent ruling OF the Michigan SUI
preme court, which ordered Grand
Rapids to change its sewerage system
and abolish the depositing OF sewer
age In Grand river.
The change. which would, It is esti-
mated, cost more than $1,000, 900, was
ordered as the result OF an Injunction
obtained by Wyoming township resi-
dents, living down the Grand river,
who objected to the alleged nuisance
and health menace.
William l.. Carpenter, OF Detroit,
former justice OF the state supreme
court, who has been retained by the
city, filed his brief for the city. Upon
II depends, II is asserted, the probable
changing OF the sewerage systems OF
all Michigan cities on streams which
empty into the great lakes or into the

ALBANY, N. Y. - The trial OF
William Sulzer. governor OF New
York, before the first high court of
impeachment ever convened in this
state to pass upon charges filed
against the chief executive, began at
noon.
While Governor Sulzer conferred
during the night with his counsel
members OF the assembly board Of
managers, who are acting as prose
c%utors, discussed methods OF proceed
nre with their legal assistants. Mem
bers of the court OF appeals and the
senators who Jointly compose the high
court also mapped out their plan OF
action.
Friends OF the %impeached executive
repeated their assertions that he Is
in good spirits. confident OF a verdict
that will clear his name OF the stigma
ctst upon it by the adoption OF the
Aticles OF impeachment.
No Thought Of Resisning.
They were certain also that he has
no thought OF ~resigning and thus es-
Gaping what promises TO be a long
trial. On the other hand, his oppo-
nents were free in expressing the
opinion that after the legal prelimin-
aries the governor would surrender
office rather than face c~ross-examin-
alton.
From the governors camp came no
intimation OF his defense. There were
only surmises. These. in effect, were
that his counsel first would attack
the validity Of the impeachment on the
ground that the assembly had no auth
GRITTY to adopt the articles while in
extraordinary session and that efforts
would be made to prevent senators
who served on the Frawley commit
tee and those who may be called upon
TO testify from sitting as judges.
One Plan OF Defense.
II the preliminary objections are
overruled-and IL is the general opin-
ION that they will belt is understood
the governor will base his defense on
the ground that whatever he may have
done prior to his Inauguration last
January, none OF his acts while exec
utive constitutes a high crime or a
misdemeanor.
An important development was the
announcement by Chairman Levy OF
