SULZER CHIP! Cullen Administers Oath and New Governor Says He Will Not Be Partisan. FUTURE POLICY OUTLINED Occasion Declared' One of Solemnity Mixed With Sadness, Xot of Exultation Party I-eader-ership 3ot Desired. ALBANY. N. Y., Oct 17 Two fea tures unique in the history of New York State marked Lieutenant - Gov ernor Glynn's assumption of the office of Governor today. He is the first oc cupant of the executive chamber to reach that position by reason of Im peachment of a predecessor and he was sworn into office by the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals. It was at the suggestion of Governor Sulzer that the Legislature recently passed a law con ferringr on the Chief Judge of the Court of ADDeals authority to administer oaths to public officials. Judge Cullen, who had voted against the conviction of Governor Sulzer on every one of the articles of impeach ment, and who only a few hours before had excused himself from voting on the question of his removal from office, ad ministered the constitutional Govern or's oath to the new chief executive. Party Leadership Not Desired. Governor Glynn said to the newspa per men he had no aspirations to be- come the "leader" of the Democratic party ,of the state. "I shall be content to be Governor,' he said. "I intend to move slowly and carefully. I propose to be Governor of all the people first and to serve the public After that, of course, I am Democrat." Earlier in the day he had issued a formal statement outlining- briefly his future policy. "This is not an occasion for exulta tion," he said, "and I have no such feeling. To me it is an occasion of solemnity mixed with sadness. "My earnest endeavor shall be to give to the people of the state an hon est, peaceful, progressive and wise con duct of their public affairs. I will in sist on a business administration, which means an economical, clean, orderly and efficient transaction of the state's business. , "I will not be a factlonist. I keenly appreciate the high responsibilities that it is my duty to meet and to dis charge. Faithful Service Promised. "To the accomplishment of this pur pose I promise my best efforts. With God's help, I will faithfully execute and see to the execution of the laws of this great state, with an eye single to the welfare of the sovereign people whom I serve. To achieve this purpose, I seek the advice and ask the support of all my fellow citizens. Governor Glynn is an Albany news paper publisher, 42 years old. He has been active in politics 15 years. He served one term in Congress from 1898 to 1900 and one term as State Con troller from 1908 to 1908.

NAVAL OFFICERS KILLED SULZER OFFERED NOMINATION Progressives Ask Him to Be Candi date for Representative. NEW YORK, Oct. 17. A telegram was sent to William Sulzer tonight asking him to accept the nomination of the Progressive party for Congress in the Twentieth District to take the place of Oscar S. Straus, who recently declined the nomination, according to announcement by Max M. Huerlcnsteln, a racmoer or the Progressive party committee on vacancies in tihls district. The committee will meet tomorrow night, being the last day under the law to nil the vacancy. Francis W. Bird, Progressive county cnairman, when asked if he had heard of this action tonight admitted that he knew some of the Progressive com mitteemen of the Twentieth Congres sional District wanted Mr. Sulzer as their candidate, but 'he said he "did not take the matter seriously," as he did not believe the majority of the com mittee on vacancies were in favor of such a nomination.

COURT'S ORDER IS SERVED BEEF TO BE SHIPPED IfJ ARGENTINA TAKES ADVANTAGE OF NEW TARIFF LAW. Government Expert Not Prepared to Say Whether American Market Will Beat Europe's. ' WASHINGTON, Oct. 17. Active prep arations by Argentina to take immedi ate advantage of the free beef clause of the new tariff law and send to the United States large shipments of beef were reported today by Dr. A. D. Mel vin, chief of the Bureau of Animal In dustry, who has just returned from South America. He made the trip for the Department of Agriculture to study meat packing and inspecting conditions in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Dr. Melvin was not ready to say whether the Argentine beef could com pete with the American product and bring prices which would make, it prof itable for the Argentine shippers to send it here Instead of to Europe. He said it was a significant fact, however, that a big steamship line operating be tween the United States and the east coast of South America had Installed large refrigerating spaces for beef. 'Argentina and Uruguay, Dr. Melvin said, have good 'meat inspection laws. Figures Issued today by the Bureau of Domestio and Foreign Commerce show that whereas the United States exported $44,000,000 worth of beef and beef cattle in the first eight months of 1904, during the corresponding period this year only $1,000,000 worth have been shipped abroad. WINNIPEG, Mam Oct 17. The In flux of cattle into the United States under the new tariff law continues and large shipments from Western Canada are reported 'dally. A special stock train carrying 400 head of steers passed over the bound xry last night on the way to Chicago. Another stock train of 20 cars crossed the boundary tonight, them. One man, Lieutenant Baron von Bleul, of the Queen Augusta Grenadier Guards, a guest of the admiralty board, was extricated alive' from the. mass of twisted wreckage. His eyes were burned out and he suffered other ter rible hurts. ' Begging his res6uers to kill him and end his sufferings, he was taken to a hospital, where he j died tonight. Only Two Trained Men Left. The L-II. had it proved successful, would have been attached to the aerial corps of the navy, which, after today's fatalities, has only two men trained to command airships. The official report of the accident says the explosion was aue to tne Ignition of gas in or above the forward gondola, but not within the body of the airship. The navy was not the only sufferer today through aviation accidents, for three army officers were killed 'in aeroplane flights Captain Haeseler, Lieutenant Koch and Sergeant Mante. Emperor Not Dismayed. Emperor William, in a telegram to the minister of marine, voices his sympathy by saying: "The sorrow over what has hap pened, I am convinced, will only be a spur to renewed exertions to develop important aerial weapon into a trustworthy implement of war." The newspapers reflect the Emperor's belief that there should be no relaxa tion In the efforts to supply Germany with an adequate aerial fleet. Eye-Witness Describes Fall. A director of one of the aviation com panies at the Johannisthal Aerodrome was an eye-witness of the disaster. He described it as follows: "I was in my. office about 600 yards from the scene of the accident when I was startled by an explosion of ex traordinary violence. My first thought was that an aeroplane had landed on the roof of my building and that the gasoline tank bad exploded. "I rushed to a window and saw the new dirigible In flames and plunging toward the earth. The outer covering bad been already burjied off and the inner balloonette containing the gas had disappeared. 'The naked aluminum framework, with its long centerpieces, its inter laced ribs and its tapering ends, and the gondolas containing the motors be neath, fell bow foremost. When the skeleton of the immense craft struck. the heavy gondolas burled themselves in the ground." ' Dosen Aviators Near. The dirigible before she left the bal loon hall at Johannisthal took on board her regular naval crew and a number of officers. She headed for Berlin, a short distance away. In a light wind. About a dozen aviators were circling the aerodrome at the time In aero planes. Everything was apparently In good order on the airship. She was grad ually getting up speed when suddenly an explosion was heard by those on the I m in "jpp ia npiflnifm ground, evidently in one of the motors L I 1 1 LLJ IL ULML in the center gondola. There was all M III 11 llf flash and the next instant the whole M- U IILHIU I ImhJ ship was afire and plunging downward. Every Inch of the canvas covering and the balloonettes disappeared in a mo ment. A second and more violent explosion was then heard, the fire having reached the gasoline tanks, filled with about a ton of liquid fuel. Before the echoes of the explosion had died down the wreck of the most modern of Ger many's dirigibles lay a flaming mass on the ground. Bodies Imbedded In Wreckage. Volunteers armed with axes hacked at the- wreckage for two hours before they extricated the last of the bodies ot the victims. Following so shortly on the disaster of SeDtember 9 last, when a similar craft, just launched for the navy as "L-l," was destroyed in a hurricane with the loss of 15 men, the news of today's catastrophe has caused conster nation in aeronautical circles, if not throughout the capital. The Zeppelin airships have been sin gularly unfortunate ever since their in vention by the aged soldier-count. Seven of them have been destroyed by fire, explosion or wreck. Zeppelin's I, II and VI, Deutschland 1 and IL and now the L-l and L-2, the first big air ships attached to the German navy, have met with disaster in this way. Loss Falls on Government. The loss of the balloon apparently will fall on the German admiralty, which virtually accepted the airship on September 20, Count Zeppelin being held responsible only if the dirigible failed to meet the requirements of the Navy Department in the tests conducted by its own officers. Today's flight was intended as a test of the ascending properties of the diri gible, which, therefore, carried an un usually large crew to take the place of the machine guns, the bombs, the wireless equipment and other fittings with which the air vessel was eventu ally to have been provided. The catastrophe might have resulted in a longer list of victims, as 50 school girls from the Johannisthal elementary school were playing in a field when the airship exploded above them. - The headway of the ship, however, carried the hull beyond the children, who fled back into the schoolhouse in a hysteri cal condition. An aviator who was flying above the dirigible was thrown from the seat of his aeroplane by the explosion, and re gained the aerodrome in a state of com plete collapse. LIND EXPECTS RESIGNATION (Continued From Flrt Pare.) brought out from officials the comment that territorial acquisition would never be considered in connection with Inter ference in Mexico. An unconfirmed report reached Wash ington today that In the conference of diplomats called by the Spanish Minis ter at Mexico City Wednesday, that all those present, except the British and American representatives, recommend ed armed intervention. State Depart ment officials said no ouch report had reached them. Telegraph Superintendent Dead. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17. F. S. Rawlins, superintendent of telegraphs of the Pacific division of the South ern Faclflo company, including its lines in Mexico, died here today at the Southern Pacific Hospital, at the age of 68. Beginning with the old Central Pacific, he had been with the company continuously since 1875. Final Scenes Before Court of Im peachment Brief Extreme Pen alty of Disqualification Unanimously Withheld. ALBANY, N. T.. Oct 17. William Sulzer ceased to be Governor of the State of New York at noon today. He was removed from office by the high court of Impeachment by a vote of 43 to 12, two members not voting. The verdict of the court was that Sulzer was guilty of falsification, per Jury and an attempt to suppress evi dence against him. Of all other charges he was acquitted, the court today unanimously voting him not guilty of tne four remaining articles of Impeach' ment. By a virtually -unanimous vote also the impeachment tribunal decided that Sulzer should not be punished by dis qualification to hold office of honor and trust in this state in the future. This would have been the extreme pen alty under tne law. Verdict Served at Mansion. The removed executive was served with a copy of the verdict of the court at the executive mansion chris tened by himself "the -people's house" a few minutes before 6 o clock to night "Good: I thank you," he said to the The Women Know a good thing when they see it.

Mr. Sulzer, private citizen, win leave the capital probably on bunaay, whither he has not disclosed. At today's session of the court moai of the members recorded their votes without explanation. Presiding juage Cullen, who voted not guilty on every article of impeachment, asked to be excused from voting on the removal of the Governor and made a similar re quest on the vote of disqualification. Senator Wende also refrained from vot- lnsr. It fell to Judge Cullen 10 pro nounce the verdict of the court. Sentence Penned by Foe. It was a few minutes before 6 o'clock tonight when Thomas C. Nolan, Ber-geant-at-arms of the Senate, and George Mustard, the process server who found Louis Sarecky, the Gov ernor's campaign secretary, alter a long earch, arrived at the executive mansion bearing the court's order ot removal. They were admitted imme diately and escorted upstairs to the study. Sulzer and Chester C. Piatt, his secretary, were seated at a table. No lan handed the document to Sulzer. It was written on a piece of ordinary foolscap paper. P.atrlck E. McCabe, clerk of the Senate and one of Sulzer's political opponents, was the penman. Sulzer took the paper, crumpled it in his hand, paled slightly, threw the document on the table without read ing it and said: "Good; I thank you, sergeant." Early Departure Certain. As Nolan left, a score of newspaper men, who had been summoned to the executive mansion to meet the Gover nor, were admitted. Copies of the Governor's statement were given them. A moment later Sulzer stepped in. If he is the nervous wreck that some have reported him to be he did not show it. He was pale, but smiling. He shook hands warmly and told everyone be was glad to soe him. Some one started to ask a question, but he Interrupted with "I have noth ing more to say than my statement contains," he said. "When are you going awayt" he was asked. "I can't tell that, or where I am going," he replied. "But I am golna to get out of Albany as quickly as I can."
