Caucus on Currency Bill

Washington, Aug. l1.-fIouse dem
Gratis today began a threshing out of
the administration currency bill and
the Ragsdele Henry measure. The
committee in charge of the bill is
maintaining the utmost secrecy re
garding it, 1t is believed, however,
that the bill will be so reported as
to afford those members of the com
mittee, as well as other democrats
who are desirous of offering amend
ments, an opportunity to do so in
the caucus.
This was the plan adopted with
respect to the Underwood tariff bill,
and unless it is observed with respect
to the currency measure there will
be heartburnings in democratic ranks
and vigorous protests. 1t is under

GOV. SULZER WON 7
DISCUSS CHARGES
FRIENDS PREDICT HE WILL BE
HEARD FROM IN FEW DAYS
RESIGNATION TALK.

Albany, y. Y, Aug. 10.-NO state
ment was forthcoming from GOV.
Sulzer today concerning the revela-
tions made before the Frawley legis-
lative committee. The governor re-
mained at the executive mansion dur
ing the forenoon and in the afternoon
left with Mrs. Sulzer for motor
trip to the country.
Although the governor has given
no intimation as to vixen he may
issue statement in explanation Of
his campaign contributions and stock
transactions, his friends predict he
will be heard from next week. Ches-
ter G. Platt, the governors secre-
tary, said the executive would have
nothing to say until the committee
had completed its work, and as Sen.
ator Frawley has indicated that the
committee has gone far enough into
the governors affairs, statement is
looked for soon.

AS to Impeachment

Removal by impeachment requires
the concurrence of two-thirds OF the
members present. The senate at the
beginning of the year was composed
of thirty-two democrats, sixteen re-
publicans, one independent democrat,
one progressive republican, and one
progressive. The democrats lost
Senator Roosevelt, who resigned when
appointed assistan, secretary of the
navy and Senator StlwelL who was
convicted of soliciting a bribe. The
progressive senator Salant was un
seated and a democrat took his place.
There are seven elected judges Of
the court of appeals. All except one,
Judge Werner, are democrats. This
gives the democrats 81, one less than
two thirds of the full membership.
There is much speculation as to
what the attitude of the republicans
will be in event of an attempt to i'm
peach the executive.
Senator Elon r. Brown. minority
leader is a member of the Frawley
committee, but has not attended its
sessions.
Gov. Sulzer is said to have secured
counsel.
At the capitol today there was a
suggestion that the governor Nigh,
avoid further action by the legisla
ture by resigning.
