At 12:16 o'clock, this morning, the as

' committee report condemning Governor

V ... xne state constitution provides that
Lieutenant Governor Glynn shall be

Friends of Governor Sulser say he will
: ignore the right of the special session
of the legislature to Impeach him, and
that If the resolution l asses he will re
main In the -executive offices and con
tinue to Issue orders, v A bitter fight Is

a hurry-Up call was sent out for New

was that the Tammany following lacked

House Leader Levy today explained
the procedure in the proposed Impeach

the speaker will at onoe appoint a board
of managers to draw up the actual im

The absence of Tammany men caused
a delay in opening the case today, the

not having started at one.
Charges of the Committee.
The Krawley committee report de
clares that Governor Sulser swore false
ly regarding his campaign contributions,
' that he had received many times the
amount of 2646a which he had declared
aa the total sum, and that he had used
some of the money to speculate on Wall
street; that he has been engaged in
stock market speculations at the time
. he as governor was earnestly pressing
' legislation against the New York
: Stock Exchange, which would . affect
the business and prices of the ex
change, and that there was evidence
before this committee to sustain a
' charge that as governor he has pun
ished legislators who opposed him by
vetoing legislation enacted for the pub
lic - welfare and has traded executive
approval of bills for support of his
"direct primary and other measures."
The, committee also charged that the
governor had blocked the investigations

San Francisco, Aug. 12. By request
of the Oakland authorities, San Fran
Cisco police today are trying to confirm
a report that Miss Eleanor 'Fay, a
young woman who attempted suicide
by swallowing poison last night on a
ferry boat, is the divorced wife of
Lou I a R. Glavls of Portland, former
chief of the field division of the United
States general land office and former
secretary of the California state con
servatlon commission. Tightly grasped
in .the woman's hand was a note which
read :
"Louis, you wronged me. Tour life
ought to be happy at the expense of
mine. Burn my body. Don t tell the
folks."
At an uaKiand hospital the woman
was resuscitated sufficiently, to state
that she had. come to California from
Portland, Or., a year ago and for a time
had lived in Sacramento. She will re
cover:
When questioned this morning the
girl denied that she had ever been mar

ever said .that Glavls was her husband.
ne pnysicians at the hospital, who
treated her when she was brought
here, are firm in their statement that
t first she claimed to be Mrs. Glavie.
Miss Fay said today that Glavls ha J

he was on board the ferry . when she
took the 'Poison. This statement was
made to Miss McMannis, a nurse at

No Chance of Rupture With
Mikado's ' Kingdom; Lind
Has Month's, Work-Ahead,,,
By John K. Nevin, United Ire8S
Staff Correspondent. .
Washington, Aug. IS. Direct reports
from both John Llnd and Charge d'Af
falres Nelson O'Shaughnessy that af
fairs in Mexico City are quiet was the
encouraging news received at the statu
department today. Despite reports to
the contrary, Llnd, it Is understood, has
made no positive predictions regarding
the ultimate outcome of his mission.
' The report' from Toklo that General
Felix Dlas wtll not be received officially
at Toklo by the Japanese government is
surrounded In mystery. The reason as
signed Is regarded as a mere diplomatic
way of saying that Diss is not wanted
and it Is thought here that the enthu
siastic welcome to American Ambas
sador Guthrie in Toklo was Japan's way
of expressing disapproval of Huerta's at
tempt to use Japan as a club to force
recognition.
Japan la Friendly Mood.
Open- suggestions from Mexico City
recently that Diaz had been commis
sioned to negotiate a secret offensive
and defensive treaty with Japan dis
pleased Toklo. Officials here who are
In a position to know-say that Japan
and the United States were never more
friendly than now and that the Cali
fornia Webb law has really increased
tills friendship Instead of being a bar
rier to it. It id understood that both
Secretary Bryan and Ambassador
Chinda believe t,Iiere Is abuolutely no
chance of a rupture with Japan.
The state department today declares
it Is making real progress toward an
understanding with Mexico, that the
tension is lessened and that there Is
no longer fear of any danger to the
president's envoy, John Ilnd.
llnd In Close Touch.
President Wilson is being informed
of Mexican conditions by hind, whose
status in Mexico will bp officially ex
plained by. Charge d'Affaires Nelson
O'Shaughnessy In a srehduled interview
with Foreign Minister Cam boa at Mex
ico City. O'Shaughnessy will also as
sure Gamboa of the desire of the
United States for peace. It Is not ex
pected that Huerta's status will be dis
cussed at the conference but it Is ex
pected to pave the way for future ne
gotiation. The chief difficulty in the situation
today is Lind's failure to recognize
Huerta as president of Mexico. While
settlement of this point is in progress.
efforts are being made to get all desti
tute Americans out of the country, and
gun boat are being, sent to advantag
eous positions in case any further diffi
culty should come.
It Is authoritatively stated here to-
-day that Llnd will not attempt to com
municate directly with any of the Mex
lean insurgents in the field. He may
talk with friends of the constitutional
lsts, but he will not go into the terri
tory held by Carranza's forces.
It Is estimated here that It will take
Llnd a month to round out his mission.

Franklin K. lane, secretary of the in
terior. wired the commercial club this
morning that his plan has been changed.
His journey has been interrupted. The
president desires him to attend the con
gress of governors In Colorado Springs,
then to return immediately to Washing'

ath Falls, and there see reclamation
projects and attend the annual meeting
of the Central Oregon Development

The Oregon program for the secre
tary will be adapted to the exigency
which has arisen. Upon his attention
will be urged:
That the discrimination against Ore
gon In the matter of reclamation ap
portionments should cease.
That the .entire 30,000 acres of the
West Umatilla project should be author

That the government ..should take

Washington, Aug. 12. The . depart

In an inquiry into the New Haven ralM
road monopoly, is now deep in facts
which will result in startling ; indict
ments if the facts are found to warrant
them. -. . iH i
Attorney General McReynolds Is by
no means satisfied With what Jius been
done.
The longer he stays on the New Hav
en trail the farther up the creek-he '
goes the bigger are the tracks - he -finds.
, i .
The department Is now hunting for
those who stood lh the background.
They directed every step of the New .
Haven's plan of traffic monopoly. It
was because C. S. Mcllen. president of
the New Haven company ehoked off the - -Grand
Trunk's plan to extend the Cen- '
tral Vermont to Providence, which would :
have Interfered with its monopoly, that ;
the recently resigned president of the
New Haven was indicted In Deecember .

Thy handled the New Haven's; monev1
as they pleased. There were $400,000,000 ,
in assets in the pot Interstate Commis
sioner Prouty's recent report states that -In
nine years $204,000,000 was spent
by the New Haven "outside the sphere
of railroad operation." Of : one ' trans
action Prouty t comments:
"In this affair $12,000,000 of the New ,
Haven's money vanished Into thin air." -
Speaking of the purchase of the Rhode -Island
trolleys, Prouty said:
raid 13,800,00, 0o srot&inf. .
"The New Haven turned over $I8,
500,000. for which It received absolute
ly nothing?"
It has been represented to "Attorney
General McReynolds that the trejueji.-.,.,,
dous scfieme'of expansion which char- -atcerized
the New Haven's management
for the past nine yearswhich led to
the plan Of tewing up the five New

Its origin with the banking members
of the New Haven directorate. Only by
such unheard-of extension was , the
huge outpouring of securities through

itable. - -'i "--.--- : -rvr,)!:'-'
McReynolds may find that J. P, Mor
gan, Sr., originated the plan to group
all New England's transportation facil
ities under the New Haven cloak.:. It
was alleged, that he personally, directed
the attack upon the Grand .Trunk road,
and that when be became Incapacitated,
his son, "Jack" Morgan, took his place.
With George F. Baker, chairman of the
board of the First National bank, and
William Rockefeller, the elder Morgan
dominated the board.. .'.'y ' ,'
For the present McReynolds will not
urge the trial of Mellen, President s
Chamberlain, and Chairman Smithars of
the Grand Trunk, on the- Indictment
found in December. He may discover on
further. Inquiry , that the : operating .
heads of these railroads should bear a
comparatively minor share . of the re- ,'
sponslbility for whatever InfractioA of
law may be found. .,.
