NO POLITICAL EARTHQUAKES
Glynn, Acting Governor of New York.
So States.

ADMINISTRATIVE IL. Glynn was Off
cially recognized as acting governor OF
New York state by the board of trus-
tees OF public buildings when rooms in
the capitol were designated as the Eek
ecutive chamber" for his use. The as.
sembly parlor and a committee room
were set aside rs the acting governors
quarters. They are situated on the third
floor, while the executive offices to
which GOV. Sulzer still clings are on
the floor below. As his first act after
moving into the new offices Mr.. Glynn
issued Il statement outlining his policy,
In part the statement says; Il do not
intend to employ Il temporary occupancy
of the %governorship for the purpose OF
partisan warfare. Under me, as acting
governor, there will be no political
earthquakes and no faetional reprisals.'

CARMODY SAYS
SULzER IS OUT
LIEUT.. GOV. GLYNN'S CLAIMS UP
HELD BY ATTORNEY GENERAL.
GUSHING is HELD AUTOMATIC
After Impeachment by Assembly Wa
Not Governor - Glynn Partisans
Elated-Function of Assembly
Held judicial.

Alany, N. Y.-Lieut.-G Gov. Martin H.
Glynn is the lawful chief executive of
New York state pending the outcome OF
impeachment proceedings against Gov.
Sulzer, according to an official opinion
handed down by Attorney-General Thos.
Carmody to Secretary of State Mitchell
May. Mr.. Carmody holds that the as
sembly was within its rights in insti-
tuting impeachment proceedings at an
extraordinary session.
"When the governor is impeached by
the assembly" says the opinion, call of
his powers are automatically suspended
until he has been acquitted or the i'm
parchment proceedings dismissed by the
court of impeachment. In the mean
time the acknowledgement acts as gov
ernor. This is the plain intent of the
constitution. Any other construction
| would nullify its express provision"
With reference to the authority OF the
assembly to initiate impeachment pro
ceedings, the encouragement says:
ut is my opinion that as the assem-
bly, was not assembled, either in extraov
binary or regular session, it might as
semble itself and proceed to the discharge
of its powers in this regard. Otherwise
the governor of the state could prevent
the impeachment of himself and hi
friends in office for crimes, howeve'
great, after the adjournment of the reg
ular session of the legislature by thu
simple process of emitting to call tn
legislature in session.

DIGGS IS GUILTY
WHITE SLAVERY
20 YEARS IN FEDERAL PENITENTI-
AIRY MAXIMUM PENALTY.
MOTIVE is A CRUCIAL TEST
Judge, in instruction to Jury, Says In
tent.on to Perpetuate Immoral Act
Paramount Considerat on to OBJ
serve in Framing Verdict.

San Francisco.-ln clipping with Maj
sha Warrington from Sacramento, Cal
to Reno, New, Maury |. Digs. former
state architect Of California, was guilty
Of violating the Mann act, which makes
it a felony to transport women Tor I'M
moral purposes from one state to an
ther. This was the verdict OF the jury
that tried him. Five years in the fed
eral penitentiary is the maximum pen
atty.
There were six counts in the lndlct-
ment and the Jury found a verdict OF
guilty on the first four. Each count
carries a maximum penalty Of five years
and a minimum Of one year in a federal
penitentiary.
After being out three hours and five
minutes, the jury returned to ask the
court what form the verdict SHOULD take
If they were agreed on some OF the
counts in the indictment and not on the
Others.
Judge Van Fleet instructed them to
make their findings on those counts as
to which they were agreed. A verdict
OF guilty on any m count, he said,
would be a verdict of guilty OF violating
the statute, and would carry the pen
atty imposed by the statute.
Diggs, his wife, father, mother and
three aunts, Mrs. Drew Caminetti and
Mrs. Anthony Caminettl, were in court,
waiting for the verdict. Diggs was pale
and his wife showed the tension she was
under by the twitching OF her lips anc
the lessened bloom of her rich color.
The questions OF the foreman clearly
forcshadowed the coming verdict ans
gave them time to steel themselves Tor
the final shock. There was no demon
stration Of any sort when the expected
blow fell.
The ease Won national notoriety when
United States Attorney John l.. Me
Nab resigned, charging that the trial
had been delayed by political influence
and made public his resignation in a.
open letter to President Wilson.
i. Drew Caminetti, codefendant with
Diggs, will be placed on trial be
fore Judge Van Fleet in the United
States district court.

THAW ESCAPES
FROM ASYLUM
DASHES OUT THROUGH DRIVEWAY
AS MILKMAN ENTERS
ATTENDANT IS UNDER ARREST
Wife. About Whom He Killed Stanford
White, Says That During Her Last
Talk With Thaw He Threatened
to Kill Her.

Matteawan, n. Y.-Harry K. Thaw,
the slayer of Stanford White, escaped
from the hospital for the criminal in
sane here at 7:45 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. A dart for liberty through an open
gate, a leap into the open door OF a pow
erful automobile that stood quivering
outside, and a flight like a rocket for
Connecticut state line, 30 miles away,
accomplished his escape. Sunday night
he was still at large, and the hospital
authorities felt certain he was outside
the state. Once beyond its boundaries
Thaw is free. Only months, perhaps
years, of litigation can bring him back
to Matteawan, and then only in one
event-that he be ~adjudged insane in
the state to which he has fled.
Five confederates manned the car in
which Thaw escaped, and a big, black
limousine, which trailed it past the asy-
lum gate. The police have the descrip'
ton of Thaw's confederates, and the
names under which they registered at a
local hotel Friday night, and are seeking
them.
The hospital authorities believed that
Thaw had fled to the shore of Long Is
land Sound and boarded a yacht waiting
with steam up to rush to Europe.
A reward of $500 for Thaw's appre
hension has been offered by DR.. r. +
c. Kieb, superintendent of the asylum
