VOL. LIU. NO. 16,449. PORTLAND, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1913. PRICE FIVE CENTS. SULZER FIGHTS TO REMAIN IN OFFIGE Authority of Special Session Denied. CLASH IS EXPECTED TODAY Lieutenant - Governor Glynn Ready to Take Office. TALK OF FORCE IS HEARD Governor's Attorneys Say, However, There Will Be No Resort to Un dignified Procedure Sirs. Sulzer Prostrated. ALBANY, N. T.. Aug. 13. With Gov ernor Sulzer impeached by the House of Representatives and the date of his trial before the Senate and the judges of the Court of Appeals fixed for Sep tember 18. the spectacle was presented tonight of two men claiming to be Governor of the State of New York. As soon as the articles of impeach ment, adopted early this morning by the Democratic majority in the As sembly, were presented to the Senate, shortly after 3 o'clock today, Lieutenant-Governor Glynn announced his in tention of occupying the executive chamber. Governor to Make Fight. Friends of Governor Sulzer said that the Governor intended to continue In office and would use every weapon In his power to maintain his position, on the ground that the Assembly had no Constitutional right to consider im peachment at its extraordinary ses sion. Some asserted that the Governor would go so far as to summon military protection if necessary to prevent the lieutenant-governor from occupying the executive chamber. T. Cady Herrick. who will act as chief counsel for the governor at his trial, said tonight that "talk of resort to force is the merest rot." Dignified Ileply Promised. "lie will meet the charges against him in -an arderlj- and dignified way," said the lawyer, "and will do nothing unbecoming the dignity of the state. He will engage in no physical scram ble to assert his rights to discharge the functions of the office of Gover nor." The Governor himself was silent. When he left his office in the capitol at 6 o'clock tonight, where he had been closeted the entire day, he was asked if he expected to return tomorrow. "Yes, sir'ee." he replied in angry voice. So far as could be learned, no at tempt was made by Lieutenant-Governor Glynn in any way to exercise the functions of chief executive today, but there was every indication that there would be a clash of authority tomorrow when both men appear at the capitol. " I . Supreme." Snya Glynn. The lieutenant-governor would not Indicate tonight what action he hoped to take, except to say. "There will be no circus or military maneuvers about occupying the executive chambers; the law is supreme." The inaction of Lieutenant-Governor Glynn was in the face of arguments expressed both in the Senate and In the Assembly today that at the mo ment the articles of Impeachment were presented to the Senate Governor Sul zer automatically ceased to be chief executive. This contention was based on an article in the Constitution, which says that "in case of Impeach ment of the Governor, the powers and duties of the office shall devolve upon the Lieutenant-Governor." It was held by the leaders that the word "impeachment" corresponded with the word "indictment" In a criminal trial, and that, therefore. In the meaning of the Constitution the Governor already stood impeached, even though not yet convicted, and was, therefore, not now eligible to hold his office. Court to Be Called On. These arguments were placed before the Lieutenant-Governor by the Dem ocratic leaders early In the day, but Governor Sulzer was not molested. A few minutes after the Governor left his office Patrick E. McCabe. clerk of the Senate, appeared at the execu tive chamber with a copy of the ar ticles of Impeachment and a summons and complaint which he intended to serve on the Governor. When notified i by the Governor's secretary that he ! had missed the Governor by scarcely a minute. McCabe asked for an appoint ment tomorrow. Secretary Piatt re plied that the Governor would be at the executive chamber at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. It teemed practically certain tonight that the Governor and Lieutenant Governor would both resort to legal tests of their respective claims in the courta. which. In the history of the New York State, have never been called on to hand down an opinion which would act as a precedent. On leaving the executive chamber the Governor went for a short auto mobile ride and then returned to the executive mansion, where he was In consultation until a late hour with his advisers.

Fair Sex Guardians of Law in San Francisco Will Take Orders From Commission, Not From Chief. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13. (Special.) The Supervisors and Civil Service Commission have been advised of the name and the duties of San Francisco's new "copettes." The Police Commission in two docu ments sets forth these details and all that remains now is for approval and the enactment of a new law. The new name, if the Police Commission is heeded, will be "Women Protective Officers" and not "Police Protective Women," as the law now says, or "Social Service Inspectors," as the Civil Service Commission had recom mended. The name having been set tled, the Police Commissioners have fixed the qualifications and duties to be as follows: The women must be citizens of the United States, not less than 21 nor more than 35 years old; must be residents of the city for at least five years next preceding their appointment; must pass satisfactory physical examination showing them to be in sound condition. The duties are to serve at ferries, trains and steamboat terminals, sta tions, landings and at all public parks; answer inquiries, give directions and information, escort and accompany female prisoners, attend on the juvenile court and perform such other police duties as may be assigned to them by the Board of Police Commissioners or the chief. The Police Commission Itself can give them orders, whereas with the male policemen the orders must come down through their superior officers. The letter to the Civil Service Com mission says that the name "Women Protective Officers," now finally hit on, is "both dignified and appropriate."

Mr. Hinton has been farming In the Sharlr ko country for 30 years. "That Central Oregon is a good dry farming country has been demonstrat ed satisfactorily by -some of the farm ers in my neighborhood, who h. threshed as high as 23 to 30 bushels ot wneat to the acre," said Mr. Hin ton.

Aug. 13. (Special.) Asserting it is a man's job and no woman can handle it properly, the City Commission this morning refused to ratify Mayor Seymour's appointment of Miss Marjorle D. Johnson as a suc cessor to Miss Arizona B. Wimple, pure food inspector, who was recently ap pointed state bakery inspector. The Mayor argued that a woman !s best fitted for the position as the work of enforcing the pure food law is closely related to the household. Com missioners Woods and Lawson thought differently, however, insisting that a man alone could properly handle ped dlers and public market venders. Com missioner Freeland voted with the Mayor and Commissioner Mills, who was absent, holds the tie vote and the Mayor purposes to bring up the ap pointment on Mr. Mills return.

JUDGE ADMONISHES JURY Story Told by Marsha War rington Is Unshaken. DIGGS . PROMPTS LAWYERS Defense Seeks to Widen 2 0-Year-Old Witness' Admissions of Immoral Life, but Names of Other Men Are Not Allowed. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 13. Marsha Warrington continued to be the chief and almost the only witness heard to day in the trial of the Government s case against Maury I. Diggs, ex-Stat Architect of California, charged under the Mann act with transporting her from Sacramento to Reno for immoral purposes. She picked up the unfinished story ot her intimacy with the defendant and carried it through from beginning -to end. lowering her eyes at times, hang ing her head, and dropping her voice almost to a whisper, but never falter ing in her answers. Other Men's Names Barred. Indeed, there was no attempt to shake her narrative on cross-examination. The defense sought to widen her admissions of immorality and drew from her the dates, places of other lapses with the defendant, but efforts to bring in the names of other men were disallowed. When she left the stand, still subject to further examina tion tomorrow, her story remained un changed. Diggs, she said had induced her to leave home against her wishes and judgment. It was he who had bought her transportation, and their trip to Reno had not been merely an episode in Platonic friendship. During the cross-examination Diggs constantly prompted the questions of his attorneys and steadily kept his eyes on the girl's veiled face, but she as constantly avoided his gaze. Jurors Are Admonished. The courtroom was somewhat startled In the afternoon session by ad monitions of the Judge to the jury that the case must not be discussed by the jurors, particularly with any friend of Diggsr of Drew Caminettl, co-defendant in another case on a like indict ment. The emphasis with which the caution was repeated by Judge Van Fleet gave rise to Inquiries which he would-tiot satisfy. He refused absolutely to dis cuss his reasons, and Theodore Roche, who has thus far conducted the Gov ernment's case, would be Jio more spe cific, although he did say that there was reason for the court's order. The story Lola Norris would tell was foreshadowed lightly when Miss War rington testified that she and Diggs had been companions of Caminettl and Miss Norris on various trips to San Francisco, Stockton and San Jose, where they had registered under falsa names as married couples. Scandal Stories Denied. Two minor witnesses the managing editor of a Sacramento newspaper, and the probation officer of Sacramento County denied that there had been any scandal connected with the names of the four on the point of exploding into print, or that arrests were impending if they remained in Sacramento. Miss Warrington has testified that Diggs had told her snch was the case, and this fear had been her prime motive on leaving her home. On cross-examination Attorney Cogh lan asked: "Isn't It a fact that the first sugges tion about this trip to Reno came from Mr. Caminetti?" "No, it is not," she answered. "Mr. Diggs first suggested it and said we would have to go immediately to avoid exposure avoid arrest and trouble with the Juvenile Court authorities. 1 don't .remember Mr. Caminetti everjsay ing anything at any time until Mr. Diggs had said it first." "Isn't it true that Mr. Diggs told you he was going away alone because of trouble with his wife and business troubles?" Infatuation Is Admitted. "No. When he proposed going he said 1 would have to go with him." "Were you infatuated with Mr. Diggs at that time?" The witness hesitated as she answered: "Yes, sir, I was." "Then, isn't that the. reason you left with him? Didn't .you say that if ha went you would go also?" "I did not say that- I did not want to go. He had caused me to be afraid of the juvenile authorities, but 1 wanted to stay. I would rather have faced the scandal that he told me would be in the newspapers. When he made np his mind to go he said I must go along with him." "Why didn't you take that first train for Reno that Sunday night, as you had originally intended?" "Because Mr. Digs hadn't bought the tickets then. Mr. Caminetti. who had gone for the money, hadn't returned by the time the train left. He got back in time for the midnight train, and then Mr. Diggs bought the tickets." "Did not your father express hos- IConcluded on Pace So t
