SENSATION Near END.
Statement Is Made That Mrs.
Sulzer Assumed Response
:. bi|lty for Stock Deals. |

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 14.-With three
votes more than the required ma
jority Governor William Sulzer was
impeached by the assembly for al
legged high crimes and misdemean-
ors' in connection with the cam
paign fund. .z
After an all night session, spent by
the majority in filibustering until
Tammany absentees could arrive, the
vote was taken at 5:16 a. M, result
Ing in 70 for impeachment to As against.
The first Impeachment of a gov.
ernor of New York state came close
on the heels of the most sensational
feature in the Sulzer-Murphy war
when Mrs. Sulzer told certain sena-
tors that she was responsible for the
Sulzer, stock market deals and that
the governor knew nothing about it.
She offered to shoulder all blame.
Throughout the long night, while
tired assemblymen nodded in their
seats, the Tammany men, knowing
that they still lacked a few votes
of the 76 necessary to put through the
Levy impeachment resolution, kept
up constant: fire of speechmaking
and debate to prevent recess.
Real Sensation Sprung.
It was 2:30 a. M, after Aaron J.
Levy and other Tammany men: had
talked for hours, ostensibly defending
the resolution, but in reality filibus-
tering to await the arrival of alb
sentees, that Minority Leader Human
sprang the real sensation.
He told the assembly that Mrs. Sui
ger had assumed the responsibility of
market speculations charged against
Sulzer in the Frawley committees re-
port and was at that moment prepar-
ing formal statement for submission
to the Legislatures. .
Human said he was not certain
Just what Mrs. Suffers statement
would be, explaining he had the facts

mer of Kingston to whom ':the gov.
errors lady" made her alleged con.
! fession. a..
Humans announcement threw the
assembly into an uproar. Instantly q
dozen men were on their feet. The
sleepy ones woke UP and those who
had gone to corridors and committee
rooms, hurried in, thinking that the
crucial vote had been precipitated.
Palmer Confirms; Story. -.
| Meantime Senator Palmer corrobor
ated Humans story and severa
other senators admitted they hat
heard such report. In the midst O
the excitement Human moved thai
the assembly adjourn until it coult
hear the statement of Mrs. Sulzer
The motion was voted down, 70 to 40
but the vote was a close call fol

ton still lacked three votes of tn,
number necessary to impeach.
After Humans motion for an ad
journment was voted down 4 Lev!

time until an absentee could arrive
from Brooklyn. When finally the maj
appeared there was a hasty arousin.

when the Tammany leaders were sat

uupiACdtIOu u utility plduCS ans equip
ment. I am a firm believer in compe-
tition, but when such competition re.
suits in the construction of utility
plants and equipment far beyond the
possible needs of the community
served, such competition compels the
public to support institutions that are
not necessary. An unwarranted tax is
imposed upon the public at large and
the enterprise usually brings finan-
cial ruin to the investors. The com.
mission should have authority upon
Investigation to order increased facili-
ties and equipment, whenever neces
sary, and to authorize other utility
corporations to enter the field in order
that the people may have adequate
service without paying excessive
rates, but where the community can
not support another plant, the CON-
mission must have authority to refuse
Its installation. If in the interest of
economy and good service, it: should
be OF advantage to the municipality
to own and operate any particular
utility, such municipality should have
the right to acquire the same, payir,
therefor its actual value and no more.

who had active charge Of the business
of the old real estate firm, for about 10
morths before he and Mr.. Roberts

BUSINESS VISIT FOLLOWING
MEETING
Or Board Created to investigate Flood
Conoitions-eives Views en-
Reservoir Theory.

Major +. W. Alstaetter, corps OF en-
gineers. vas at Wheeling Yesterday
and was interviewed by one OF our
reporters as TO the progress made by
the board in its investigation of food
conditions. The major stated that
the board had visited the CITIES which
were most thoroughly devastated by
the food. namely. Dayton. Columbus.
Hamilton and GAINESVILLE. and the
newspaper reports did not fully de-
scribe the scenes OF horror and ex-
tremely bad conditions prevailing in
those cities. He said: Take DAYTON,

or $500 men for two weeks cleaning
up the city OF Dayton. and the work

Discussing The subject OF preven-
ton OF floods. the major seemed to
think that something could be done
toward limiting the heights OF floods.

10 limit the amount OF rainfall. bur

Much faith f. generally placed on
system OF reservoirs, but the board
Is OF the opinion that generally such
relief is purely local. For example. a
reservoir might be OF some assistance

ly or no assistance TO Parkersburg
However. the board Is looking into
this matter more thoroughly. The
principal cause OF the great distas-
tiers is due in many cases to artificial
constructions along the banks or in
the bed OF the river. At Hamilton a
bridge blocked the river 20 a certain
extent and forced the water practical
~ over the city OF Hamilton itself. At
Columbus the levees narrowed the
channel OF the river. and when the
great amount OF rain raised the river
above these levees an extremely swift
current resulted and the destruction
was very great. In some cases enor-
nous bOulders were found in the
middle or the city streets-that T..

houses"
At this point the mayor spoke OF
the interest taken in conditions by
the president. The president is very
much interested in a scheme for flood
relief. and sent the secretary Of war
out on a special train with supplies
during the emergency. Not less than
100000 rations were given away by
the army in the city OF Dayton alone.
Continuing. the mayor said.
Interests Complain.
Now that the extreme emergency
has past. IL is feared that the local
interests will not cooperate with the
United States government in its eff
forts TO prevent a recurrence OF this
disaster. When the United States di-
reefs that no encroachment be made
upon the channel of the river IL seems
generally that commercial interests
involved invariably feel that they are
unJustly treated. IL the United States
engineers had. in the past. allowed
the various mines and mills 10 follow
their own inclinations in the matter
OF narrowing the channels along the
river N Wheeling. IL would be safe
TO say that the flood I'm this CITY

feet instead OF 81 feet In the past
no special attention has been paid TO
the smaller rivers. and. as a citizen
OF Columbus. o. stated. no worse
scheme could have been devised by
the people OF the city to raise the
crest OF the flood than was actually
constructed. practically forming
dam along the overflow section OF the
banks"
However. II il now thought that the
local interests realize that the enor-
nous loss 10 everybody from these
floods are far more disastrous than the
