provement in the condition of Mrs.
SulEer. After having suffered serious
relapse during the night. she aHoke
from a sleep induced by sedatives much
improved. and the Improvement con-
tinued throughout the day.
SulZer Indignantly denied the renewed
rumor that he was planning to resign.
The rumor which was persistent. was
that he and his friends had decided that
he would not get a fair trial before
the impea chment court and that he
would quit office voluntarily and ap-
another fight on Tammany. But the
report was officially characterized by
Sulzer as a lie fathered by those who
wanted to embsrrass him.
The Sulzer people were giving wide
circulations to today's issue of the
Reform Bulletin, the mouthpiece of the
Rev. o. r. Miller. State superintend-
ent of the New York Civic League,
which defends Sulzer at length.
Attacks Sulzer'S Enemies.
1t characterized the Frawley commit
tees actions in compiling the evidence
against Su!zer as a disgrace to the
Empire State and unworthy OF presen-
tation TO the legislature Of our Com
monweaIth." 1t characterizes Suffers
course, after breaking away from
animus behind the attack on Sulzer is
said by this document to be his refusal
10 appoint criminals or eX-criminals to
high Offices to allow ''Tammany to
loot the State" and for his positive
stand against race track gambling.
The Sulzer veto Of the two liquor bills
passed at the executive session and his
stand against Sunday baseball also aid
ed the campaign against him according
10 the Miller document, which Is couched
in the most Vitrolic language, finally de-
claring that the men responsible for the
impeachment of Sulzer ought themselves
b. in Jail instead OF trying TO disgrace
an honest governor and loot the State
of millions of dollarss
In conclusion, the Miller bulletin says:
Jesus was crucifed on a charge that
was technically true, that he had
claimed TO be the King of the Jews and
the sond of God. His farce of a trial
was hurried in the night before his
friends had time to rally the people. He
was formally convicted after sunrise,
just as Suizer was impeached in the
early morning hours, after an all
night session of the assembly. But Jesus
Was not really guilty
Another pro-SulZer document circu-
lated was from the pen of c. L. Booth
by. executive superintendent of the New
York State Civic League in which he
made a bitter attack on the seven Re-
publican assemblymen who voted with
Iue democrats 10 inpedCn- Inc state
ment assumed 10 tell of pressure
brought on these members TO vote with
the majority.
Shortly after noon Acting Governor
Glynn signed bunch Of pay checks ard
warrants for the adjutant generals Of
nee. They went over to the comp
troller's office for action by that official.
1t was expected that they would be hon
ored on Monday, thus giving Glynn the
approval of the chief financialu depart
ment of the State
There was a chance that at least one
court action might come Immediately in
Erie county. Glynn, as acting governor,
has signed extradition papers for the re-
movsl TO Cleveland, Ohio, of Louis
Lucent, arrested in Buffalo for desert
ing his family. They are in the posses
sion of Sheriff William J. Smith, and
friends OF SulzeF were hoping that when
they are presented TO the authorities Of
Buffalo. Luechts lawyers will bring
habess corpus to test their legality.
No Action Until Monday.
Because Of the fact that this was
court holiday. there was little chance
Of any legal proceedings being initiated
before Monday in this city. The qiies-
tion or Furnishing Owen Kearney.. the
Cohoes politician. for contempt in re-
fusing to testify before Investigator
John A. Hennessy, who holds a commits
sion from Sulzer. has not yet been
pa ssed upon. 1t is believed that Hen

tion of Justice Wesley o. Howard, who
is at Grafton. but even that has not
been fully decided
