INF NPEACHNENT VOID,
SAY HOUSE LAWYERS
Believe Acts Alleged to Have
Been Committed Before
Oath Are Non-PuniShable.

Prominent attorneys in the House to-
day expressed the opinion that Gov
ernor Sulzer cannot be impeached for
personal acts committed before he be-
came governor.
The governors privileges are based
on the Constitution" said Congress-
man Flood of Virginia. chairman of the
Foreign Affairs Committee, and a
leading constitutional lawyer of that
body. The Legislature cannot add to
or substract any qualifications upon
which impeachment proceedings can be
brought
Congressman Francis Barton Harrison
of New York, another prominent law
yer. stated that it was question
whether the impeachment can lie for
acts committed before Sulzer took the
oath. He regarded the situation as ex-
tremely doubtful
Congressman Montague, former gov
ernor of Virginia, said:
"As a general proposition impeach-
ment cannot lei upon acts which are
committed prior to induction into Of
flee and which are personal and not re-
latin gto the Office"
Congressman Henry of Texas, chair
man of the House Rules Committee,
and other legal lights" said the
Jurisdiction of the legislature to i'm
peach for acts prior to the governors
inauguration were very doubtful.

PARCEL POST RATES
CHANGE ON FRIDAY

Lower rates on all parcel post matter
shipped for local delivery and in the
first and second zones become effective
Friday, when the weight limit will be
raised to twenty pounds. In view of
the fact that these charges are soon ef-
fective, the Postofflce Department has
announced that changed rates and con-
ditions will not nullify the usefulness
of the parcel post maps and guides
issued to postmasters throughout the
United States when the parcel post was
established. January l. They will still
apply on all shipments to the third zone
and beyond.
Notice has also been given by the de-
partment that business houses desiring
special order stamped envelopes should
get their orders in early. Because of
conditions due to the flood, the Dayton
factory for the envelopes is running be-
hind, and allowance should be made for
the resulting delay.

SULZER WILL FIGHT
TO SEE WHO'S Who
Pardon May Prove Means of
Test to Find Legal Chief
Executive.

ALBANY. n. Y, Aug. 13.-After
few hours sleep, Governor Sulzer walk
ed over to the capitol today with
Samuel Bell Thomas, a New York
friend. The governor puffed vigorously
on a big black cigar. and waited pa
tientIv on the capitol steps while a
half-dozen photographers worked their
instruments rapidly.
It's a fine breeze" the governor re-
marked to the newspapermen, who
waited his views on the situation.
1t was learned speedily. however, that
the governor was prepared to test the
question as to who is governor in
the courts. One of the plans suggested
to bring the case before the courts was
for him to sign a pardon after Lieuten-
ant Governor Glynn takes charge. The
warden OF the prison would refuse to
recognize the pardon, and the case
could then be tested at once by pro-
curing a writ of habeas corpus. II Is
rot known that this course Will be
adopted. but ii is expected that the con-
test will reach the court in some such
way.
TT will be a fight to a finish. TIL"

FORMER COLLEAGUES
STANDING BY SULzER
House Members Hopeful That
He Can Defend Himself
Against Charges.

Members Of the House are watching
closely the developments in the Sulzer
impeachment case. and it is likely that
there Is not one of the former colleagues
of Bit Sulzer who does not hope that
he will be able to vindicate himself.
Congressman Flood, who succeeded Mr..
Sulzer as chairman of the Foreign Af-
fairs Committee. summed up what is the
general feeling in the House today when
ne said:
Il deeply regret this whole thing. and
| hope SulZer will be able TO disTrOve
the charges. 1t is hard TO believe that
Blll SulZer could do anything dishonest d"
MIR. Flood expressed the opinion that
Tammany may bring about a reaction
by insisting upon action against SuIzer
at the extra session of the legislature.
AT this distance" said Mr.. Flood, 1t
does not seem TO me that the legislature
has the constitutional right TO impcach
SUlzer at an extra session not called
for the purpose. and the foes of the
governor run the risk of going too far
in their campaign"

PALMER CONFIRMS
CONFESSION REPORT
Says Mrs. SuIzer Admitted She
Signed Husbands Name in
Wall Street Deals.

ALBANY, y. Y, Aug. Ex-senator
Abraham !. Palmer, to whom Mrs. Will
liam Sulzer made the startling an
nounCem"nt that she virtually was re-
spOnsible so far as the use Of the gov
ernor's campaign funds in buying stock
was concerned. confirmed the story to-
day. Senator Palmer said:
Last night I couldn't say anything
beyond referring all inQuirers to Mrs.
Sulzer. That was because the governor
had requested me not to repeat what
she told me, declaring that he did not
care to have his wife used as a shield
against Impeachment. The story hav-
ing been told, there can be no harm in
confirming it. l told It last night to SEN
ators Frawley and Foley, with the gov
ernor's injunction of secrecy. In my
opinion the crux of the whole situation
lies in the statement made by Mrs. Sui
zer."
will Mrs. Sulzer be a witness on the
impeachment trial?" he was asked.
Il understand she WILL" was his re-
ply. In fact she will have to-"
DO you understand, Senator, that
she claims to have signed the Gov
ernOr's name to all the checks used in
the Wall street transaction?''
That IS what l understand" Sem
ator Palmer replied. She told me that
or that is the way l understood it.
Mrs Sulzer looks on her husband as a
mere child, so far as household finances
are concerned. The governor has no
idea of the value of money, and she
understood this"
At the Executive Mansion 1t was
stated that Mrs. Sulzer was worn cat
by the stain she had been under, and

room.
Leader Levy made the comment that
Mrs. Sulzer's confession looked like an
eleventh hour attempt of faithful
wife to shield her husband"

is something so wearable about this fabric
and yet so sumptuous. This skirt has an

two ends showing at the side.

of some of the new fabrics.
Tinselpatterned embroidered ninons are

we're of the last-only more so, should say,
for truly they are lovelier than ever.
The quaint thing about them - and of
many other OF the new fabrics, tools that
they bring together in an entirely incense

that you will find little shadowy bouquets

lively desirable that you will not know which
to choose as the fabric for your tea gown

Personally am making frequent use Of
these particular and perfect fabrics for the
fashioning of tea gowns and boudoir wraps,
