President Cullen Leads Way in
Long Opinion Sustaining Con-
tention of Prosecution
That Action Was
Entirely Legal.
WENDE VOTES BY HIMSELF
Buffalo Democrat Only One to Raise
His Voice in Governor rs Favor
Louis Marshall's S Argument
for Defence Answered by
Parker and Bracket.

From stan Correspondent Of The Tribune
Albany, Sept. 22.-By vote Of 81 10
/ the High Court Of Impeachment held
tonight that Governor Sulzer had been
impeached legally. The only vote in
his favor was cast by Senator Gott-
fried II. Wende. of Buffalo. According

legislative investigating committee.
Wende's son was employed ny the Sui
zer direct primary campaign commit
tee al so a week.
This vote was taken in executive ses-
sion following a long. bitter argument
nv the Sulzer defence. The lawyers
raked the constitution from stem 10
stern in trying TO prove that the As
semblv had exceeded its constitutional
authority in adopting articles Of i'm
peachment at an extraordinary session
when no cuch action was recommended
by the Executive.
Louis Marshall. Of the Sulzer staff,
did not confne himself exclusively 10
constitutional arguments. For the
first time he nut into the discussions Of
this high court an echo Of the Gov
ernor's defence before the people-that
he was simply the victim Of Tammany
Hall. Arguing that delivery Of the az
,iiclcs of impeachment TO the President
of The Senate was not legal he shouted
az the top Of his voice:
"Of course an Impeachment could not
be presented TO the president on l4th
street in New York or at the throne
room at Delmonico's and make that an
impeachment"
Judge Cullen Leads the Way.
But neither the constitutional argu-
ments for Sulzer nor this allusion 10
Tammany weighed with the court. Be
fore the executive session President
Cullen announced that he had made up
his mind and was quite willing TO all
nounce his opinion If anybody wanted

the question, but would refer IT TO the
court Apparently his brother judges

Male 0uartette.

Some years ago the Burgess family
of bell ringers was considered one OF
the greatest novelty attractions on
the concert stage. This was the day
of vaudeville as we understand it
now but were they alive today their
act would undoubtedly be a vaude-
Vile top liner. This bell ringing has
since their introduction been very
popular musical "stunt. We have
to have a very capable company in
this line on our Chautauqua, The
Chicago Male Quartea in addition to
regular vocal and instrumental work
will give us some splendid work with
the bells. This quartet appears in
the afternoon and evening of the fl
nal day of the Chautauqua and will
undoubtedly leave an impression long
to be remembered. The quartet is
popularity favored in its reader as

oh. Slushl

1t seems the editor of the Dallas
Observer finds fault with your cor
respondent, as he describes the beau
ties and charms that surround New
port. He don't like the words "sad "
and "slush." Now if this editor
would come to Newport and spend a
few days at the beach and go just as
the sun was setting, apparently in
the sea, and sit down upon Cupid S
Rock and look off on the blue sea and
over the dark waves on the bar; to
hear the song of the seagull as she
wings her way to her roosting place
on the rocks at Cape Foulweather;
to hear the chirp, chirp of the sea
birds as they pass by; the roar of
the sea lion in the distance; the
scream of the night hawk; to see the
comb their hair, and to hear
the low wash of the waves as they
beat upon the shore, he, too, no doubt
would feel sad and lonely as your
did.-Toledo Leader.

WANTS NEW STATION SITE
West Salem People Want Company
To Move Depot.

West Salem citizens have entered
a petition with the state railroad com
asking that the Southern Pa
cific change the location of the two
present depots to Johnson and Sec
ond streets. AT present one depot is
about 200 yards north of the west
end of the Center street bridge. The
other is at Kingwood park, about a
mile southwest.
1t is said that five-sixths of the
travelling public Of West Salem is
within a aradius of block from Sec
ond and Johnson streets, the propos-
ed location of the new depot. While
the station is being constructed, the
people ask that the railroad be in
structed to have their trains stop at
the designated location.
The commission has taken the mat
ter up with the railroad. Those who
signed the petition are: H. c. Heff-
