In Possession of Executive
Chamber Where Sui
zer Holds Forth.
WOULD EJECT SULZER.
Friends TO Hold Mass Meetings in
Different Parts of State-Rioting
is Feared.

Albany, \. Y. Aug. 16.-Backed by
nearly every state official, Martin H.
Glynn is today discharging all of the
duties of governor. He is not in posS-
ession Of The executive chamber,
where VIM Sulzer still holds forth.
The regular routine Of the state
operations, however, excepting those
of the department of prisons and the
highway department, in which Sulzer
appon:ees dominate, went over his
desk in the lieutenant governors
rooats.
Pressure is being brought to bear
on c.. from many sources to order
descent by force on Sulzer and
eject the impeached governor and his
followers from the big executive Of
fees. So far Glynn has not responded
to this suggestion. He has insisted
tha he will not enter unsecmly wran-
gle. He has ordered that all Of the
men under his control refrain from
any open criticism Of tha SulZer
forces. Up to the present time he has
refused to be drawn into a position
where he would have TO express any
opinion on the merits Of the charges
against Sulzer.
Friends of Sulzer have been ar
ranging mass meetings in various Sec
tions of the State, and the threat has
neen made that his adhcrents would
flock here in hundreds TO express in
person their criticism Of the leGisla-
turc for voting the impeachment. If
this is done the problem of preventing
a riot will be serious one. None Of
the Sulzer leaders would admit TO-
day that they favored such ii plea. but
kilograms from various localities told
of meetings planned.
1t was expected that Sulzer, having
the definite refusal Of Glynn to agree
to court proceedings before hSm.
would he forced to act. He and his
lawyers conferred early today on this
matter. They are admittedly at dis
advantage in the fight. The original
proposal that they prepare the way
for habeas corpus action by pardon
inc convict from Sing Sing prison
and then having the warden hold up
the execution of the pardon has been
blocked.
Secretary Of State May will not
permit the use of the Great seal of
the State to attest the document and
without that il is worthless. Judge
Herrick, chief counsel for Sulzer was
carefully examining precedents today
ard was expected to find a way out.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS
SHOW No CHANGE
Huerta May Be a Candidate
For Election to
Presidency.
TO HURRY GOV. LIND.
Has Had an Interview With Mexican
Foreign Affairs Minister--Paving
Way TO Huerta.

Mexico City, Aug. 16.-Provision-
al President Vic .oriano Huerta has
given out what is considered to be an
.ntimation that he woufGi be candi-
date for eyeclinn 10 tine Presidency in
the autumn, and it is rumored strong
ly that as a preliminary 10 his cam
paign, he will be succeeded IN the
! provisional Presidency by FREDERICK
Gamboa, whom he recently recalled to
this country from foreign mission
Of foreign relations.
F.! The report ran that Minister Gam
boa would assume the provisional
/! Presidency as soon as it should be re-
signed by General Huerta. A denial
Of the rumor was issued by the for
e:gn minister as soon as it was cal
led to his attention.
President Huerta's intima ion Of
his intention TO run for the Presiden-
cy on constitutional hasis came in
4 roundabout way He was asked if
1t was his purpose to become can
d.date for election as President.
The present he:rg Of the Mexican
federal government would no. give a
definite answer. He said it was un-
desirable for him to make at this time
a statement as tn the possibility Of
MS candidacy, but that he might an-
-1Gnnce his intention in Il fortnight.
That guarded reply by General HUI
erta was regarded generally as mean
ing that they al least was considering
the advisahiIity of making such a
move toward the solution Of the pres
eat situation in Mexico.
President Hucrta is regarded as the
favorte Presidential possibility
among prominent men in the capital
Even 1he anti military liberals are
talking Of him as the only man avail
able, to be chosen as the head, of the
ma !ional government
Washington, Aug. 1G.-StirrGt by
the renewed activity of members of
the enate in criticising President VIII
sons course IN handling tine Mexican
situation, it is believed here that eff
forts arc being made by the White
House and the State Department TO
hurry song the mission Of former
Governor John Lind. Administration
officials refused today to discuss a
report that the Administration,
through Mr.. Lind. is hopeful of being
able to persuade the Huerta govern
mcnt to hold the president elections
next month, instead Of in October,
when, ordinarily, they would be held.
Unless some assurances were coming
! from both SECS in Mexico that the
elections would be peaceful, it is
thought doubtful that there would
be any hope Of advancing the date Of
the elections.
Mr.. Lind is already ahead Of his
schedule. After his arrival in Mex
ico City, last Sunday, it was stated in
Washington that, on account Of the
strong anti-American sentiment
arouser by his mission there, the
Presidents messenger would go very
slowly before taking any definite
s:eps toward a fulfllment of his, mis-
sion.
In the hslst few days, however, he
has managed to interview the MeXi-
can minister Of foreign affairs and

tation OF this Governments views to

ljtraducers did not even know tn
name of the gentleman they were at
tacking.
"This morning at $3.50 o'clock hal
an hour before the board was to con
,ene, an officer of the city of Rich
mond hal to serve a copy of tn,
charges on Mr.. Hodges"
"Now they come after four year!
to ask that the case be continued. W.
are ready and I'll give you a fair
old-fashioned Virginia fight. We are
ready for a hearing now, after hall
an hour.
"These attacks are the work of
miserabla agitators They are sore,
headed little politicians and men who
want the office for themselves. The
charges before you. Separate the
chaff, and if there be any grain
Whatever consider that.
Mr.. Moncure then took up the
charges seratim, and said he was
pleased to answer them and to dis
prove them by the superintendent and
others who were in attendance.
Mr.. Moncure and Mr.. Clements be-
came involved in a little colloquy. The
board had to insist on orderly pro-
cedure.
Taking up the charges that the pro-
ceedings of the school board were
secret, Mr.. Moncure said that the
proceedings were matters of public
record and coula be seen all any
time. He declared that Mr.. Hodges
had been sent into the district, had
increased the attendance more than
100 per cent, and had made an excel
lent superintendent.
Taking up the charge of cashing
school warrants, Mr.. Moncure said
that was true. The teacher, a color
ed woman had asked him to get the
she wanted to catch atrain.
He had asked reliable businads
man to endorse the warrant and get
the money. The man did so and got
the money and gave the face value of
the warrant to the teacher.
As to the title of the land bought
for school purposes, Mr.. Moncure
said that The county of Alexandria
had what was called IAN Attorney
for the Commonwealth, and it was
his duty to examine the title of such
having been- especially re-
tanned by the board for shat pur-
pose. The officer had failed to put
the deed on record, but for what rea-
son he did not know.
Mr.. Stearnes, replying to a state
Tent ana request lot q continuance,
said that unless there was some other
reason advanced he would overrule
the request for a postponement.
Frank S. Lyon, an attorney resid-
ing in Alexandria county, asked per-
mission to examine the witness as a
citizen and resident. He said he had
no interest other than the welfare
of the schools He had seen the So
called charges for the first time to-
day.
"And you are the editor of paper
which had been and is supporting the
conduct of the public school system
and the administration of Mr. Hodg
es," remarked Mr.. Clements.

REBUILDING POMPEH.

When first they began to dig out long buried Pompeii, everything found there was taken to Naqles, leaving nothing in the eXcaVatod places but the bare ruined walls.
 Of late years more rational plan has been followed of leaving in place everything but the smallest objects of interest and reproducing roughly the houses uncovered.
 Under the present director, Professor Spinazzola, this idea has been devel- oped still further. He has almost en- tirely rebuilt some of the houses, using all the material found, even to the fragments of the roof tiles.
 On the famous street of Abundance he has rebuilt even the upper stories and balconies and restored the win dows and facades. This gives a new idea of the style of the city of pleasure.

BATTLE OF BILLIARD
 CHAMPS COME SOON
Willie Hoppe and Ora Morninestar Meet in Pittsburg "Wednesday
 Night in Cue Fight to Finish

What battle of champions it will be when at Pittsburg on Wednesday night William Hoppe of New York the undisputed king of the 1S2 balk line billiard masters, crosses cues with Ora Morningstar of the smoky city, the latter reigning monarch among opponents of the 1S.1 style of balk line. They will play 300 points in Old City hall which promises to be packed to the doors as not since the late Jake Schaefer a year prior ot his death, defended his title against Hoppe in Orchestra hall, Chicago, has so much interest been manifested by billiard fans throughout the country.
 One reason for the keen show of interest is the fact that the two players are the acknowledged peers of their profession, while another is that each expert has revealed won derful form in practice games of late while preparing for the match. Big runs and high averages in practice coupled with the fact that each play CT is d general and money player of the first water, makes the winner difficult to forecast and while Hoppe may go to the post" favorite, Morn ingstar has enough backing in Pitts burg to make the wagering mighty lively, and it would not be surprising to see New York and the city of steel lock horns in a betting bee of eX- tenSiVe financial proportions.

A. Q. Leyhe's Hen House Visited and Robbed in Dead of Saturday
 Night

A. D. Leyhe. of 312 North Ninth Av- enue, owned eleven chickens of ped gree, also they belonged to the Buff Orpington tribe. But some person or persons at present unknown thought that they might well relieve MT Leyhe of the responsibility of taking care of the chickens so in the dim dark hours of Saturday night the said per son, or persons. did. with malice afore- thought, feloniously, enter the hen house of the Missouri society's presi- dent and remove the unsuspecting hens from their matudinal perches, took them to the alley that adjoins the premises, and there proceeded to mur- der severally and collectively the ten pedigreed hens and the one pedigreed rooster.
 When Leyhe started on still hunt for his chickens he found only the heads and sundry evidences of the murder in the shape of large clots of blood and stringy feathers These chickens had taken several prizes at the local fairs and were valued by their late owner above the sum of eighty five dollars.
 This is not the only wanton theft that has taken place in the western part of town during the last few days. A lady who has sick husband to look after, bought a few chickens recently so that the man might have fresh eggs but some mean sneak, thief stole them the first night and the health of the man has been permanently ruined for the lack of the little luxury that his wife had strived so hard to get for him
