higher than the sidewalks. The
mayor promised to send the street
gang to that part of the city in the
near future to work under the direc-
tion of Aldermen Mcclure and Loren
zen.
While discussing streets, the mayor
suggested that movement should be
started for the building Of curbing and
guttering, especially in the business
section. He said the expense would
be slight, 30 cents a foot being the
price asked by the contractor He
said the curbing and guttering recent
ly laid in front of the city hall and
the Y. M. c. A. building had proved
a great success, relieving the street
from washing by storm water. The
mayor also suggested that definite
and uniform curb lines be established
all over the city, and that curbing be
built. He declared this would make
the streets more easily to be main,
tanned in good condition and would
reduce the dust area,
Aldesnag LoRehzen reported that
the roof of the city hall had been re-
paired and made leak-proof.

MUST CONE TO CARRY
OUT LIND'S SCHEME
ON NO OTHER BASIS WILL vii
SON RECEIVE REPRESENTA-
TIVE OF HUERTA

Washington, September 11.-Manuel
de zamacona, supposed representative
of Provisional President Huerta, left
Washington today for New York, with
out seeing any government officials.
He did not seek an interview with
any, but spent all his time with
Charge Algara of the Mexican embas-
sy.
The latter was expected to confer
with Secretary Bryan during the day
and may inform Mr.. Bryan of the
character of the Zamacona mission
The attitude of President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan is not to receive
any Huerta ENJOYS unless they come
to carry forward the negotiations be,
gun by Mr.. Lind and with the under
standing that points made by Mr.
Lind have been settled chiefly that
Huerta is to be considered as elimin-
ated from the presidential race
senor zamacona was in concealment
during his visit here, and left secret
ly. He is expected to return in few
days, but while in New York will en-
deavor to negotiate loan.

Kingston, N. Y, Sept 11.-Justice
Hasbrouck of the supreme court OF
the state, today decided that Governor
Sulzer was regularly impeached, and
while awaiting impeachment trial was
divested of the right to exercise his
executive functions, including the
power to pardon.
The question Of the legality Of Sui
zers impeachment came before JUS
tice Hasbrouck in connection with
habeas corpus proceedings brought to
compel the New York city authorities
to honor Governor Suffers pardon of
Joseph G. Robin, the convicted bank
er. He decided that Robins pardon
was invalid, quashed the writ and
sent Robin back to prison at Black
wells Island.
Attorneys representing Sulzer and
Robin had argued that the impeach-
ment was illegal because voted by the
assembly at special session which
was not called expressly to decide that
question. The court refused to sus-
iain this contention The decision
upheld the argument of the New York
corporation counsel, who maintained
that the assembly when it impeached
acted in Judicial and not a legisla-
tive capacity and was properly in ses-
sion.
The assembly voted to impeach Gov
ernor sulzer early on the morning Of
August 13. Although it was reported
Immediately that the governor would
seek to overturn the assembly's ac-
tion by recourse to the courts, Justice
Hasbrouck's decision today was the
first ruling made by any court on the
legality Of the impeachment. Argu-
ments on the validity of the writ Of
habeas corpus were heard here Mon
day. The questions raised were:
Whether Governor Sulaer was
impeached, and, Second Whether he
was divested of his powers pending
trial.
"The subject of impeachment" says
Judge Hasbrouck, like the power Of
a legislative body to punish for con-
tempt, was of a different character
from a subject requiring the action
of both branches of the legislature and
the governor, in order that laws may
be enacted. The power conferred on
the assembly to impeach the governor
is a judicial power. The power Of i'm
peachment, therefore, cannot be parti-
cipated in by the governor or senate, /
and therefore does not constitute a |
legislative subject 3

I organizations that they had chosen
him as their standard bearer In the
mayoralty campaign. A ,hrong that
crowded City Hall park assembled to
hear him accept He had prepared
speech Of acceptance, but was SO
weak that he was unable to deliver It.
and his secretary read it for him, the
mayor standing beside him.
He was expected to attack Tam
many hall sharply, politically, as soon
as he. returned to the city.
The assassin's bullet that lodged
in his throat three years ago had
never been removed. It was the
mayors plan to remain abroad less
than week. He expected to sail
for New York from Liverpool on Sep
tember 18 and to reach this city
week later.
Mayor Gaynor's sudden death COM
pletely overturns the municipal politi-
cal situation. It removes from the
field a candidate for mayor who was
expected to cut heavily into the vote
of the fusion nominee John Pprroy
AEitciaei. and
nominated by the democras s-sand the
fusionists. The former is headed BY
Edward q. Mccall. former chairman
Of the public service commission Of
this district.
The mayors denomination was
brought about by no particular politi-
cal faction or party, but represented
only his personal popularity. Polite
ians who discussed his death today
expected that his followers would
make no attempt to nominate cam
didate IN his place. No other places
on the Gaynor ticket have yet been
filled.
Mayor Gaynor was placed at the
head of an independent ticket after
Tammany hall had refused him a re-
nomination He was to lead those
who opposed the regular democratic
and yet were unwilling
to join the fusion Of republicans and
progressives.
Kline to Act as Mayor
A. L. Kline, who viii be acting
mayor of New York until January /,
next is a resident of Brooklyn and
a republican. AS acting president OF
the board of aldermen he took the
chair when Mayor Gaynor
sailed for Europe. Mr. Kline has serv-
ed three terms on the board of alder
men. He was vice chairman Of the
board, elected by fusion members,
when John Purroy Mitchell resigned as
president to become collector Of the
port Of New York
Mr.. Kline reached the city hall at
II o'clock and summoned the heads
Of the departments to his office. I5e
indicated that he would issue proc
lamation later in the day.
Tentative plans, subject to revision
by the Gaynor family. were to have
the mayors body brought back to
New York on the steamer Cedric.
which sailed this afternoon from Liv-
erpool The Cedric is due at Queens
town tomorrow morning.
