TBY TO IMPEACH GOVERNOR SULZER Resolution Presented in New York Legislature. REPORT BY FRAWLEY BODY Committee Demands Official Action Because of Alleged Stock Deals and False Reports on Campaign Funds. I Albany. N. Y.» Aug. 13.—The report I of the Frawley committee detailing the results of its investigations into the official career of Gov. William Sulzer was adopted by the assembly late Monday night, and the resolution calling for the impeachment of the governor was immediately introduced by Representative Levy. The conclusions of the Frawley committee, embodied in its report to the legislature, are that Governor Sulzer falsified under oath his campaign contribution account, diverted some of these contributions to the purchase of stock, speculated in stock at the time that, as governor, he was earnestly pressing legislation against the New York stock exchange, punished legislators who opposed him by vetoing their bills, traded executive approval of bills for support of his direct primary measurb and did everything In his power to conceal proof and obstruct the Frawley committee’s efforts to brings it to light. “We submit to the senate and assembly,” the report recites, “thdt the facts stated are sufficiently serious *n character and are so violative of tne laws of the state that the public interests demand some action in reference thereto, whether through the exercise of powers of the legislature or by referring facts and evidence to other duly constituted officers charged with duties in respect thereof.” “During the time of these hearings and investigations,” the report proceeds, -“William Sulzer, as governor, has done everything in his power to withhold the truth and obstruct the production of evidence and the course of justice. At his instance and direction Louis A. Sarecky, his secretary; Frederick L. Colwell, his dummy, and Harris and Fuller, his brokers, have refused to testify before the committee. “Governor Sulzer made a false public statement, when on July 30, 1913, lie said that he was away campaigning and that he did not know of the campaign contributions omitted from his sworn statement. The Elkus check was indorsed by Sulzer personally and he acknowledged the letter of Elkus transmitting it as a campaign contribution. “We submit to the legislature that it was false when William Sulzer swore that he had received only $5,460 of campaign contributions, and that he did so with full knowledge that he had received an amount many times that sum and had converted the same to his private uses. “This committee, therefore, has not completed its investigation, either on this subject or others covered by the resolutions under which it is acting, but it has felt that the revelations set forth in this- report and the testimony accompanying it should be brought to the attention of the legislature at once, without awaiting a final report either on this or other subjects.” New York, Aug. 12.—Governor Sulzer Issued a statement denying absolutely that he ever used campaign funds for speculation purposes. He gave out the statement following a conference with his political advisors. The statement was given out by Chester C. Platt, the governor’s secretary. Among those present at the conference were Louis Marshall. John A. Hennessy, Louis A. Sarreky, and Mr. Platt.

Washington, Aug. 13. —The Mulhall “confession” shifted to the house when the colonel took the stand before that body to reveal his alleged experience in influencing legislation. The majority of his testimony was a repetition of what he told the senate investigators. After a brief examination, in the course of which the witness objected strenuously to testifying from his recollection without the aid of voluminous documents which he presented to the senate committee, the house committee began the detailed investigation of the Mulhall charges Monday. The committee plans to take up systematically the various members of the house, its employes and other, pub lie men mentioned in the correspond ence and examine the witness relating to each individual. Following this plan, all the Mulhall letters relating to Representative Richard Bartholdt of Missouri were placed in rhe record and Mulhall was questioned about them. The letters related to the activity of Mulhall in obtaining assistance from Bartholdt in preventing a report on an eighthour labor bill from the labor committee and in supporting the Littlefield anti-pllotage bill which the Association of Manufacturers favored.

ENVOY AMES IN »0 GUY No Anti-American Features During Huerta Demonstration. ' REFUGEES ON U. S. WARSHIP Gambea Will Succeed Aldnps in CabY net —Secretary Daniel* Order* Cruiser Tacoma to tne Ec*st Coast of Mexico. Mexico City, Aug. 12.—John Lind, personal • representative of President | Wilson to investigate the Mexican sit uation, arrived safely in Mexico City Sunday night accompanied by his wife and Dr. William Bayard Hale. He left Vera Cruz at six o’clock in the morning. Mr, Lind was greeted by Mr. O’Shaungnessy. There were no demonstrations. “There is absolutely nothing I can say as to my actions and plans,” he stated to a correspondent, “I shall be guided by circumstances. I cannot tell how long I shall stay.” President Huerta reviewed a parade of 2,000 persons from the balcony of the’ national palace as the manifestation was in support of the government’s attitude in the Lind incident. Sunday’s demonstration was orderly. There were no speeches or anti-Ameri-can features. It' was not as large as had been expected, and few of the professional element participated. Later Huerta held a conference with Cabinet Minister Gambea and Deputy Jose Hira EOzano. Mr. Gambea said that Mr. Loscano had been named minister of public instruction, Manuel Garza Aldope being moved to Formento and relinquishing temporary charge of the foreign office. Washington, Aug. 12.—Secretary Daniels announced on Sunday that the cruiser Tacoma had been ordered from Newport, R. 1., to the east coast of Mexico to aboard American citizens desiring to leave. ' Many Americans have found refuge on board the battleships of Rear Admiral Fletcher’s squadron, but, as the battleships can go into only a few of the larger harbors, it was decided to dispatch a vessel of light draft to drop into shallow harbors along the coast. The Tacoma will proceed at once to Norfolk for coal and then steam southward, probably to join the battleships off Vera Cruz. Safe removal of American citizens desiring to leave the danger zona in the vicinity of Empalme was reported to the navy department. Following the arrival in Mexico City of John Lind, personal representative of President Wilson, administration officials declared that no further steps would be taken in carrying out the policy of the United States until Mr. Lind had made a careful study of the situation in Mexico. News of the safe arrival of Mr. Lind in the Mexican capital followed several hours of suspense. The complete absence of any information of the progress of the party from the time it left Vera Cruz added to the uneasiness, which was heightened by vague rumors of attacks on Mr. Lind and his family and associates. Secretary Bryan remained at his desk until midnight anxiously awaiting some report from the embassy at Mexico City. When it finally came it proved to merely a terse announcement of the arrival of the special envoy, coupled with the announcement that he and his party were safely quartered at the Hotel Lascurain. While the president has mapped out a distinct course of action about which strict secrecy is being maintained, it is known that the instructions to be sent Mr. Lind from time to time will depend largely on developments in theMexican capital in the next few weeks. Mr. Lind will make all his recommendations to Charge O’Shaughnessy, so that whatever representations are transmitted by the tatter to the Huerta government will differ in no way from the notes the American government has hitherto addressed to the de facto authorities in the Mexican capital.

ROCKEFELLER’S “PLAY” COMES HIGH — It costs John D. Rockefeller SI,OOO.

* WWw W ,7

Rockefeller plays golf in the morning, and in the afternoon he plays with his estate. It is his pleasure to walk over it, select views, mark out drives or to change the scenery. If he stands on'a hill and a certain clump of trees obstruct a particular view of the river that is pleasing to his eye, he orders the trees transplanted. On his estate he employs 700 men and sixty teams. His pay roll amounts to $30,000 a month. His men work ten hours a day from March to Octo-: bed, and nine hours a day for the rest of the year. Formerly Mr. Rockefeller employed mostly foreigners, but when the “Black Hand” society made so much trouble for his workmen last fall he gave orders to gradually weed them out, and today fewer than twenty are employed, and these are the old and faithful ones. In their places he is employing young men from the villages. Once, years ago, Mr. Rockefeller wanted to buy a certain piece of property. The owner refused to sell. Mr. Rockefeller then ordered the house zurrounded by cedar trees, as he owned the adjoining land. The owner, not caring to gaze upon cedar trees for the rest of his life, sold the place. • Near Mr. Rockefeller’s home, on the south, is an institution for orphan children. The roof was not in accord with Mr. Rockefeller’s idea of scenic beauty, and he made a proposal to the institution to paint the roof green to conform with the color of the trees. The offer was accepted, and Mr. Rockefeller sent his painters to do the work the next day.

STEPS' INTO HIS BOSS’ JOB

Representative John A. Key of Marion. Ohio, is not the first private secretary to a congressman to step into his boss’ job In the house, but it is a rare enough thing when it does happen. John Key was secretary of the late Representative Carl Anderson for four years, and learned enough of the practical side of politics to get twice as many votes as his Republican opponent last fall. Key takes his place now with a fine and distinguished line of former secretaries. For instance. Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas, who went to the upper house March 4, was once secretary to his father in the house of representatives. Governor Cox of Ohio, once a representative, started In to do big things when he was secretary to P. J. Sorg, the tobacco man. Representative A. T. Smith of Idaho walked out of the late Senator Heyburn’s office right into his seat in the

house. He had been secretary to the . , senator for years. Representative Lever of South Carolina was secretary to Dr. Stokes of that state. Wyatt Aiken of South Carolina was secretary to his father who was in congress before him.
