SULZER
STAND TRIAL
Court of Impeachment
Votes 51 to 1.
DEFEAT SECOND OF BATTLE
Motion of Counsel to Dismiss
Proceedings Overruled.
ONE MORE CHANCE REMAINS
Effort to Be Made Today to Show
That Certain Orfenses Charged
Against EsecntlTe Are
Xot Impeachable.
ALBANY, N. Y Sept. II. Governor
William Sulxer must go to trial. This
was decided by the high court of im
peachment tonight when, by a vote, of
SI to 1, its members ocerniled the
motion of the Governor's counsel to
dismiss the proceedings on the ground
that he was unconstitutionally im
peached by the Assembly because that
body was in extra session when the
Impeachment was brought.
Senator Gottfried H. Wende. of Buf
falo (Dem.). an ardent supporter of
the Governor, cast the solitary nay.
while seven members of the court were
absent.
Soizrr Sustain Second Defeat.
The Governor's defeat was the sec
ond that has marked the battle waged
by his attorneys to annihilate, as far
as possible, the Impeachment proceed
ings. Last week the court thwarted
their attempt to prevent four Senators
from sitting as members. Their re
maining ammunition consists of argu
ments to prove that certain of the of
fenses charged against the Governor
are not Impeachable. These arguments
will be heard tomorrow.
Tonight's vote was taken in secret
vesslon, after an afternoon devoted to
fpeeches by the opposing attorneys.
When the time came for the court to
give Its decision. Presiding Judge Cul
lon announced that he did not feel In
clined to use the power granted him
under the rules to be the first to
exDress an opinion.
- "My brethren. he said, "you will
readily appreciate that the point which
has been discussed goes to the very
foundation of this proceeding. If de
cided in one way the proceeding must
necessarily stop. You have the power
to clear the court for private con
sultation under the rules."
Judge Delivers OpInloB.
This was done on motion of Judge
-Culicn, but the vote was later an
nounced In a brief public session and
the record of the proceedings was made
public It showed that a tentative roll
call on the motion was taken im
mediately and the presiding Judge det
livered a long opinion on the points at
Issue when his name was called. 13th
on the list.
Judge Cullen's opinion In substance
was that the provision of the Constitu.
tion which limited the acts of the Leg
islature In extra session to such sub
jects as were recommended to it by
the Governor should be given a reason
able construction. It upheld the con
tention of the prosecution that the res
olution referred to the legislature as
a whole and not to the Assembly as an
independent body.
So construed," Judge Cullen said,
"these subjects all relate to what the
Legislature as a body can do and not
to the power vested in one branch of
the Legislature."
One Vote Cast for Sulser.
The Legislative. rollcall brought
from Senator Wende the only negative
vote. The call was followed by a viva
voce vote and then, when a final roll
call, with the same result. Wende ex
plained his vote In a brief argument.
In which he held that when the Assem
bly adjourned sine die some weeks be
fore reconvening to bring the Impeach
ment articles "they foreclosed their
right to act upon any question of im
peachment when called together in ex
traordinary session."

Failure or Dutchess County, New
York, to Indict Former Matteawan
Inmate Is Regarded as Handi
cap by the Prosecution.
CONCORD, N. H., Sept. 22. On the
eve of the proceedings which are to
decide whether Harry Thaw shall . be
returned to the Matteawan Asylum, he
was Joined here tonight by his mother,
Mrs Mary Copley Thaw, and his broth
er, Josiah.
"I have come to give Harry the sup
port of his mothers' presence In his
fight to keep away rom the mad
house," Mrs. Thaw said. It was the
second attempt of the fugitive's moth
er to meet him since his escape from
Matteawan. Although In feeble health,
she had made the long trip from her
home at Cresson to Montreal a few
weeks ago In the expectation that
Harry would be brought into court
there. But the unexpected action of
the Dominion immigration authorities
in banishing him from Canada, which
resulted in his c,omlng to this state,
made her Journey there fruitless,
greeting Is Affectionate.
Harry greeted his mother and broth
er affectionately Just outside his rooms
and . then the party retired to the
apartments . which had been reserved
for Mrs. Thaw. There they spent
much of the evening, while down
stairs the large staff of Thaw attor
neys went over their plan of campaign.
Tomorrow's proceedings are based
upon the request of the State of New
York for the extradition of Thaw on
a charge of conspiracy in connection
with his scape from Matteawan.
After the extradition warrant has
been read tomorrow, It will devolve
on the representative of the State of
New York, probably William Travers
Jerome, to set forth his case. Mr.
Jerome was not in town tonight and
nothing could be learned as to his
plans. The reported failure of Dutch
ess County (New' York) to return an
indictment against Thaw has greatly
handicapped Jerome in the opinion of
close followers of the case.
Any attempt to postpone the hearing
will be vigorously opposed by the Thaw

CALL ON "TOMMY'
"HOW OLD HE HAS GOTTEN,'
THEY SAY OF PRESIDENT.
Sisters Who Knew Wilson as Boy
Say They "Always Said Tommy
Would Make Fine Husband."
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. In the
throng of visitors at the executive of
flees today President Wilson found two
friends of his boyhood days the Misses
Elizabeth M. and Ellen D. Bellamy, of
Wilmington, N. C. The two sinters,
well advanced in age, were ushered
Into the outer offices Just as the Fres
ident, according to his usual morning
custom, began shaking hands with the
friends of Congressmen.
"There he is now," said one of the
sisters. "I knew I could tell him, but
how old he has gotten. We used to cal
him Tommy. I am afraid I'll have to
call him that now."
"You mustn't do that," interrupted
the other. "It's Mr. President now."
"You know the first time I ever
saw him," said Miss Ellen reminiscent
ly, "he was riding a bjcycle."
"It was the first time I ever saw a
bicycle, too," rejoined her sjster.
The two sisters told one of the sec
retaries how their brother, as family
physician for the Wilsons, was sum
moned to attend tho mother of the
future President. "Tommy came over,1
said Miss Ellen, "to get me-to stay up
with his mother. He stayed around
and was a very helpful boy. I said
at that time Tom-.iy would make a
fine husband for somebody some day
How proud his father would be if he
could see him now."
Just then the President came along,
the two women introduced themselves
and President Wilson said he remem
bered them quite well. He expressed
his regret that Mrs. Wilson and the
members of his family were not home
to greet them and the two sisters went
forth beaming with satisfaction.

PACKERS
PREDICT
FAMINE
II MEAT
Small Farmers Urged
to Raise Cattle.
PRODUCTION GROWING LESS
Demand So. Much Above Sup
ply Prices Are Abnormal.
REMEDIES ARE SUGGESTED
Convention Asks That Every Fanner
Raise at Least Two Beef Steers;
Ranges Cut Up to Farms and
Corn Be Grown in South.
CHICAGO. Sept. 22. The responsible
Ity of averting a future meat famine
was put up to small farmers today by
speakers at the eighth annual conven
tion of the American Meat Packers As
sociation here today. All agreed that
if the decrease in meat production of
the last ten years Is not stopped, the
question of the meat supply for the
people of the United States will be
most serious. Among the . remedies
suggested by the speakerswere:
Every small farmer should raise at
least two beef steers a year to offset
the decreased production of the great
ranches of tho West.
The remaining ranges should be cut
up in farms to put all farmers on an
equal footing.
Development of the hills of New
England with their bountiful springs
and prevailing shade as a beef-producing
country.
Substitution of corn for cotton In
the Southern states and the consequent
development of the hog and cattle pro
duction. Daneer Mute Sounded.
The report of the executive commit
tee sounded the first note of danger
of a famine.
"The American Meat Packing house
situation and that of consumers of
meat food products in this country are
both In a condition more precarious
than at any other time in our history,"
the report stated.
"We are facing conditions in the pro
duction of meat-food products which
would have been thought impossible 10
years ago. The shortage of livestock,
which has been Impressed upon us as
packing-house producers for several
years, has been Intensified during the
last year. Our population is growing at
Its normal rate. We have passed the
point where demand has overtaken pro
duction and we are now on a basis
which shows that demand exceeds the
supply of meat-food products to such
an extent tnai we nave suiiuuuan;
high prices for meat-food products.
Blame Put On Farmers.
The farmers are not furnishing
nearly a sufficient number or animals
to keep the packing houses in operation
on anything like full time, and this re
sults in heavy losses, owing to lack of
volume of business. And there seems
to be no prospect of relief. Despite the
higher prices for livestock of all kinds,
statistics show that the farmers not
only are not increasing their produc
tion of meat-food animals but that such
production Is decreasing at an appall
ing rate."
Among other causes for the shortage
of meat, the report pointed out, wero
the loss of meat-food animals through
preventable diseases and "the unthink
ing slaughter of calves, and especially
beef calves." The committee voted to
confer with Government officials re
garding pure-food laws, challenging the
wisdom of the federal govern raes-.i mu
tating what ingredients shall be used
in meat products.
Officials Taken to Tak.
'Our principal difficulty has been
that those In power know practically
nothing of tho actual conditions of
packing house operation. We have
been in the' hands or capaDiec weu-
meaning scientists on one hand and po
litical office-holders on the other."
The report declared that the action
of the Government ui cnangins mo
character of label on canned goods.
after they once had been accepted by
the Government cost the packing in
dustry $250,000 annually.
Sneakers at the National convention
of butter and eggmen urged the need
of National legislation to regulate th9
storage of these products, in order to
avoid repeated charges of price raisins
and monopoly.
This conference should advocate Na
tional legislation on the subjuct of
storage, J. -L tiomigman, oi ow
York, said in an address. "If every
state has ita own laws with regard to
the length of time we may keep eggs
and produce we will soon have a con
dition like those caused by the present
divorce laws."
To stimulate cattle-raising in order
to avert the meat famine they say is
Imminent, the American Meat Packers'
Association voted today to raise $300.
000 with which to conduct a campaign
of education among the farmers and
cattle-raisers.
The plan outlined by President
Blschoff,. which was adopted as a reso
lution by the association, provides for
raising $100,000 a year for five years,
to be spent in advertising and instruct
ing the cattle-raisers. The farmers ar
to be taught the advantage of cattle-
raising and how to care for cattle.
