Glynn Sworn in as Governor
OF New York in Unique Manner.

Albany, \. Y, oct. 1.-Two features
unique in the history of New York
state. marked Lieut. Gov. Martin II.
Glynn's assumption of the office of
pant of the executive chair to reach
that position by reason of the impeach-
mcnt Of predecessor and he was
sworn into Office by the chief judge
of the court of appeals. The constitu-
tional oaths of office heretofore have
been administered almost without ex
ception. by the secretary of state or by
some attache of his office.
When William Su,2er was inaugural
ed Governor. last January. he ex-
pressed the desire to have Chief Judge
Cullen of the court of appeals admins
ter the oath. However, the law was
looked up and it was found that no
provision specifically gave such power
TO The mead OF the highest court in the
state. Subsequently at the suggestion
of Gov. SulZer, the Legislature passed
a law comforting upon the chief judge
of the court of appeals authority to ad-
minister oaths to public officials.
That law was invoked for the first
time, today, when Judge Cullen. who had
voted against the conviction of Gov. Sui
ger on every one of the articles of inn
parchment. and. who, but a few hours
before, had excused himself from vet-
ing on the question of his removal from
office, administered the constitutional
Governors oath to the new chief exec
utive.
Gov. Glynn's formal induction into Of
flee was simple. He was sworn in Judge
Cullens private office in the court OF
appeals chambers. Besides the presid-
ing Judge and the new Governor, there
were present only Attorney General Car

in the kennebec river near the Maine
Central Railroad dock, today, and at
a late hour, this afternoon, grapplers

According to the story told by some
of Travers' companions after the
drowning. they were talking about
swimming when Travers, who was
standing on the edge of the wharf,
suddenly made a mis-step and fell
over backwards into the river. Being
an excellent swimmer he struck out
for Il small scow nearby, but when
within about > feet of it he suddenly
sank ana was not seen again.
There is about 26 feet of water off
this wharf and the current runs very

The session of the court, which
sealed the Governors fate, lasted only
a little more than an hour. The at
mosphere of the proceedings was al
most that of a body conducting rou-

to the fact that the result of the vote
on articles five. six, seven and eight,
which was still to be considered had
already been forecast by the roll calls
of the secret session of the day previ-

Today, most of the members record
