movement became so general.
The action of Bishop Byrne was up

CLARKE BEHIND COTTON BILL.

The amendment to tax cotton futures
was introduced By Senator Clarke Of
Arkansas, but the provision as agreed
to by the committee modified the pro-
visions Of the original amendment some
what. It provides that sales or agree
ments to sell cotton for future delivery
in conformity to the rules Of cotton ex-
changes, boards Of trade or similar as
sociations shall be subject to tax Of
onetenth OF one cent per pound, the
tax to be refunded in all cases i the cot
ton actually is delivered. The amend
ment is designed to prevent gambling
il cotton futures. The tax would be
paid BY affixing stamps 10 the written
contract, and the amendment provides
the necessary machinery for its enforce
ment.

TAX ON COTTON FUTURES.
New Sugar Tariff in Effect Mar.
1914.

Washington, June 20. - Postpone
ment OF the date on which the new
sugar tariff shall 20 into effect until
March i, 1914, and change Of date
when the income tax shall become
operative from Jan. ], 1914, to March
i, 1914, were agreed upon by majority
members Of the Senate finance conn
mittee to-day.
Changing the date when the proposed
rate OF cent pound on sugar shall be
applied, the committee did not amend
the schedule to affect the provision that
sugar shall 60 on the free list May /,
|1916. That provision remains as II was
originally in the bill which passed the
House and which the Senate Democratic
caucus approved last week.
The committee also adopted an
amendment which would put stamp
tax on all cotton sold for future delivery;
declined to reconsider its action in re-
pealing the act Of 1890, which released
sweet wine manufacturers from pay
ment Of the full internal revenue duty
on brandies used in fortifying wines, and
adjusted several rates on articles referred
by the Democratic caucus.
Extension OF time on the sugar scl4ed-
ule, Chairman Simmons announced,
was agreed to il order that sugars pur
chased under the Payne-Aldrich rates
can be disposed Of without the handicap
Of the effect ofreduced tariff rates. The
date upon which the income tax can be
computed for the first year was changed
to March for the reason that the date
in the bill, Jan. !, 1914, would make
the section unconstitutional, inasmuch
as the income tax amendment to the
constitution was not ratified by two-
thirds Of the States and proclaimed by
the Secretary Of State until Feb. %,
1918.

SENSATION NEAR END
Statement Is Made That Mrs.
Sulzer Assumed Response

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 14.-With three
votes more than the required ma
iority Governor William Sulzer was
impeached by the assembly for al
legged high crimes and misdemean-
ors" in connection with the cam
paign fund.
After an all night session, spent by
the majority in filibustering until
Tammany absentees could arrive, the
vote was taken at 5:16 a. m, result
ing in 79 for impeachment to As
against
The first impeachment of a gov
ernor of New York state came close
on the heels of the most sensational
feature in the Sulzer-Murphy war
when Mrs. Sulzer told certain sena-
tors that she was responsible for the
Sulzer stock market deals and that
the governor knew nothing about it.
She offered to shoulder all blame.
Throughout the long night, while
tired assemblymen nodded In their
seats, the Tammany men, knowing
that they still lacked a few votes
of the 76 necessary TO put through the
Levy impeachment resolution, kept
up a const mt fire of speechmaking
and debate in order to prevent a re-
cess.
Real Sensation Sprung.
II was 2:3O a. m, after Aaron ].
Levy and other Tammany men had
talked for hours, ostensibly defending
the resolution, but In reality filibus-
tering to await the arrival of alb
sentees, that Minority Leader Hinman
sprang the real sensation.
He told the assembly that Mrs. Sui
ger had assumed the responsibility OF
the financial transactions and stock
market speculations charged against
Sulzer in the Frawley committees re-
port and was at that moment prepar-
ing formal statement for submission
TO the legislature.
Hinman said he was not certain
just what Mrs. Suffers statement
would be, explaining he had the facts

ernor's lady" made her alleged con.
fession.

dozen men were on their feet. The
sleepy ones woke up and those who
had gone to corridors and committee
rooms, hurried In, thinking that the
crucial vote had been precipitated pre-
maturely.
Palmer Confirms Story.
Meantime Senator Palmer corrobor.
ated Humans story and several
heard such a report. In the midst OF
the excitement Hinman moved that
the assembly adjourn until II could
hear the statement of Mrs. Sulzer.
The motion was voted down, rs to 40.
but the vote was a close call for
Tammany, showing that the organiza.
tion still lacked three votes OF the
number necessary to impeach.
After Humans motion for an ad-
journment was voted down Levy
spoke for three solid hours, killing
time until an absentee could arrive
from Brooklyn. When finally the man
appeared there was hasty arousing
Of sleepers and counting of noses and
when the Tammany leaders were sat

jority on hand there was rush to
take the vote.
over the feeble protests OF the
minority the roll call began at 5:06
