TWO MEA CLAIMING
THE GOVERNORSHIP
Impeachment of William Sui
zer Brings About Compli-
cations in New York.
TROOPS MAY B[GALLEDOUT
September 10 is Fixed For Trial
OF Impeachment Proceed
ings Against Sulzer.

Albany, Aug. 13.-With Gov
ernor Sulzer impeached by the
house and the date of trial before
the senate and court of appeals
fixed for September Is. two men
are scrambling for the governors
place.
As soon as impeachment arti-
cles were adopted early this
morning. Lieutenant Governor
Martin H. Flynn announced his
attention of occupying the exc
cutive chamber. Friends al Sui
zer declared he intended to stick
tight and that the assembly had
not the constitutional right to
consider impeachment at this ex-
traordinary session.
Some declared Sulzer would
order out troops to prevent the
lleutenant-governor from taking
the seat. The governor is silent.
Asked. when he left the office
this evening. where he spent the
day. If he intended returning to-
morrow. he said;
Yes, Stree" and he replied
in angry tones.
There Is every indication of a
clash between the two claimants
tomorrow when both appear at
the capitol. Senate and assem-
bly, members declared that SuIzer
was out automatically when the
articles Of impeachment were
presented. Nevertheless the
governor was not molested today.
1t is virtually certain that the
governor and lieutenant-gover-
nor will resort to legal tests.
1t is not thought that Sulzer's
wife will give out a statement
detailing the use of campaign
money to buy stocks until the
trial.
1t is declared that her testimo-
ny will go far toward clearing
the governor of the charges.

The object of the meeting was
outlined in a keynot speech deliv-
cred by Judge McClurg, followed
by the organization details. The
main purpose is to simplify the
existing methods of judicial pro-

The members of the bench at

that there is room for improve.

by simplifying the rules Of Pro-

The case reached an unexpected
climax yesterday afternoon, when
Shelton and Miss Mobley were
married at the court house, the
ceremony having been performed
by Rev. L. M. Younghance.
The marriage does not legally
free Shelton from the crime with
which hei charged, and when the
grand jury meets next month il
will be incumbent upon its mem
bers to investigate the case. II is
probable however, that as he has
welded the girl and she seems to
be satisfied. no indictment will be
returned.

questions having been propound-
ed to witnesses by Justice Mat

The most damaging testimony

nished by the girl her self. Miss
Mobley. who is rather pretty. is
really nothing but a child, and
appeared on the stand attired in
a neat white dress which struck
her just below her knees. She

named Millard Green on the af-
ternoon of Sunday. August 3rd.

WOMAn'S FINGER GRATED
IN PLACE OF Her NOSE

New Haven, March 22-At DR.. Skin
ner's sanitarium it was reported that
Mrs. Mary Goldman would leave that
institution for her home, 10S Dewitt
street, some time today She recently
underwent the unusual operation of
having one of her fingers grated on
to her face for a nose to replace the
natural one that had to be removed
because of a tumor DR.. Nelson A.
Burlington performed this remarka BILE
surgical feat in the presence of DR..
Henry L. Swain, DR.. Frederick N.
Sperry and DR.. Alfred G. Nader. The
finger was prepared for the grating
by being inserted in a cavity of the
stomach thus allowing the stomach
lining to grow around it. When suf
ficient of this had formed it was re-
moved and the finger was then put
in the place of the original nose and
held in position for eighteen days, af-
ter which. the finger was removed
from the hand and properly shaped to
the face.
