IMPEACHMENT COURT AGAINST
N. Y. EXECUTIVE
TO BE 0USTED FROM OFFICE
Convicted on First Count of Misap
propriation OF Campaign Funds
BY Vote of 3s to 10

Albany, N. Y, Oct 16.-By a vote
OF 80 to Is the impeachment court
this afternoon found Governor vii.
liam Sulzer guilty of filing a false
statement of his gubernatorial cam.
paign expenses.
This was the first of the impeach.
ment articles against him.
Although the result of the ballot
was taken as absolutely conclusive
evidence that he will be removed
from office, 1t did not definitely un-
seat the executive. Votes must first
be taken on all the other impeach-
ment articles and then 1t will be ne
cessary to take a ballot on the spe-
cifc question of ousting him from
office.
1t was thought likely that this
will not be reached before tomor.
row.
The court will not vote to disqual.
lfy Sulzer from holding Office in fu-
ture This was definitely settled this
afternoon. 1t was arranged by the
republican members Of the court who
thought 1t better to leave him as a
potential candidate, confident that
he will be an aspirant for Office at
every election for a long time to
come splitting the democratic party
in New York City and New York
state, and thereby increasing repub-
llcan chances of success.
Five justices of the court OF ap-
peals opposed and four upheld Sui
zer's contention that the court had no
right to concern itself with his doings
before he took the oath of office as
governor. Among those who voted in
his favor on this issue was Chief JUS
tice Cullen.

Chicago. H., Oct. 1.-The October
grand jury will make an investiga-
ton of the circumstances surrounding
the divorce which Mrs. Grace Gug-
genheim-Wahl obtained from William
Guggenheim, the millionaire smelter
man, in 1901.
Mrs. Guggenheim, who less than a
year ago tried unsuccessfully to have
her divorce set aside, recently had
a long conference with States Attor-
ney Hoyne and obtained his consent
to have the next grand jury take up
the matter with a view to indict-
ments for fraud. One New York and
two Chicago attorneys are the ones
Mrs. Guggenheim declares made all
the plans for the alleged fake" di-
vorce.
According to Mrs. Guggenheim, she
went from New York to Chicago in
1901. Sc remained in the Windy
City "a hours, but during that time
divorce proceedings were started. In
March of the same year she says she
came back to Chicago for a short
time and secured her divorce. The
Illinois law provides that no one can
secure a divorce in this state without
first having been citizen of the state
one year.
When Mrs. Guggenheim sought to
have her divorce annulled early in
the present year she was unsuccess
| ful, the cOaaRt-~holding that she had
let the matter go too long.

IN QUARREL OvERPRICE
Owners Attempt to Secure Ex-
orbitant Figure for Property
Council to Act.

Chicago, Oct. IA serious situation
in connection with garbage disposal
confronts Chicago as a result of break
ing off relations between the city and
the Chicago Reduction company, which
had a contract TO destroy the citys
refuse. Following the rupture last
night word went out from the CON-
psny's Offices today to cease gathering
garbage in all wards. The break came
when the company sent an ultimatum
20 the city council that unless they
we're paid s492, 1000 by midnight the
garbage would be allowed to rot in
Chicagos alleys" The situation is
regarded with apprehension on account
of fear of a spread of typhoid and
an increase in the number Of flies
the worst carriers of this diseases.
NOT TO SEIZE PLANT.
Householders are urged for the pres
Ont to burn garbage in their own fur
naces, as for the time being only ref
use not animal or vegetable will be
taken care of by the city. Sugges-
tions that the plant of the company
be seized are not regarded as feasible.
\ special meeting of the council has
been called BY the mayor to deal with
the situation tonight II is said the
plant cost less than 100000. An ap-
praiser for the company in negotia-
tions TO sell to the city claimed profits
of operations averaged SlS6,0O0 an
nually In the last three years.
10 uft
alton was not menacing. as in 10 days
the city would be able to take care Of
the garbage. In the meantime it will
be dumped in clay holes and destroyed
by chemical process.
Whether the Chicago Reduction COM
pany viii begin suit against the city
for alleged breach of contract in fail
ing to close the deal for the purchase
of its plant was not disclosed, but it
is counted on as a possibility. Pres
ident Julian formally rendered a deed
for the property 20 Comptroller Trae-
ger, which the latter refused to ac-
cept or issue a voucher for the pur-
chase price submitted by Harold AL
inert, appraiser for the company, and
Leonard Metcalf, the Independent
member of the board.
Corporation Counsel Sexton, who
has directed the legal business of the
appraisal for the city. declared there
was no liability for the apparent
breach of contract, as there was a
loophole in the instrument signed on
behalf of the city. II provided that il
the appraisal was not completed and
the price paid on or before Oct. the
contract was null and void
In the opinion of Mr.. Sexton. which
was shared by Mr.. Metcalf, the ap
