IMPEACHMENT COIRT AGAINST

TO BE OUSTED FROM OFFICE
Convicted on First Count of Mlsap.

liy Vote of 38 to 10
Albany, N. Y., Oct. 16. By a vote
of 39 to 18 the impeachment court
this afternoon found Governor Wil
liam Sulzer guilty of filing a false
statement of his gubernatorial cam
paign expenses.
This was the first of the impeach
ment articles against him.
Although the result of the ballot
was taken as absolutely conclusive
evidence that he will be removed
from office, it did not definitely un
seat the executive. Votes must first
be taken on all the other impeach
ment articles and then it will be ne
cessary to take a ballot on the spe
cific question of ousting him from
office.
It was thought likely that this
"will not be reached before tomor
row. The court will not vote to disqual
ify Sulzer from holding office In fu
ture. This was definitely settled this
afternoon. It was arranged by the
republican members of the court who
thought it better to leave him as a
potential candidate, confident that
lie will be an aspirant for office at
every election for a long time to
come, splitting the democratic party
In New York City and New York
state, and thereby increasing repub
lican chances of success.
Five Justices of the court of ap
peals opposed and four upheld Sul
zer's contention that the court had no
right to concern itself with his doings
before he took the oath of office as
governor. Among those who voted In
his favor on this issue was Chief Jus
tice Cullen.

An appeal to the women voters of
Oregon:
The patriotic men of our magni
ficent young state of Oregon have
granted you the ballot. It now be
hooves you to uso it wisely.
I have before me an official copy
of "Measures, with Arguments Re
specting the Same, to be Submitted
to the Electors of the State of Oregon
at the Special Election on Tuesday,
November 4, 1913." In looking
through the pamphlet I discover your
opportunity to prove yourselves
worthy of the responsibility granted
you by the votes of men at the gener
al election of November, 1912.
To every one of you I appeal in
loving solicitude, expecting you to
perform your duty as enfranchised
citizens. Register yourselves as
voters at once if you have not already
done so.
My reasons for this appeal are of
vital Importance and especial Interest
to every thinking man and woman
within our borders. Read the afore
said "Measures" and you will see that
one man has taken It upon himself to
nullify the action of the late legis
lative assembly by the use of hired
referendum petitions. His proposal
to nullify these measures by use of
your ballots is a sinister attack upon
tlie very life of our st.Te university.
I am told that his chief reliance for
a majority vote for his reactionary
piece of political freebootlng rests
upon the women of Oregon, it is
alleged that it Is through your votes
that he expects to destroy the strug
gling state university, make Its cost
ly equipment valueless, and compel
our children and grandchildren to go
for higher education to California,
Washington. Montana, Idaho, Color
ado and Wyoming, where state uni
versities are not In Jeopardy.
The eyes of the Intellectual and
educational world are upon the
women voters of the state of Oregon.
Let it not be said of you that you
were entrusted with an opportunity
to do your duty and that you did It
DThe time for registration Is short
and the time for voting Is near. On
each of the measures attacked by H.
j Parkinson's two reactionary refer
endnmi. vote yes and sustain the ap
propriation. Bv this patriotic action you win
prove to all th" public-spirited men
women of this world that you are
.rhv of the trnst bequeathed to
ron hr the chivalrous, liberty and
i.tii loving men of Oregon, who
,r. ernectlne ron to do your duty as
voters on the 4th day of November

Christina M-Lean Secretary of Institute
Receiver Buriey of the Almeda
was in the city Wednesday, having
Just returned from the mine, where
he has been for some time studying
conditions. Mr. Buriey says that af
ter operating the smelter since Aug
ust 21, the date of the receiver
ship, he hns come to the definite con
elusion that It is Impossible to oper
ate the smelter with any margin of
profit, as it Is only by the strictest
economy that It can be made to more
than pay the running expenses.
Mr. Buriey has closed down the
Biuelter, but has left Supt. John Ross
and a crew of men at the mine mak
ing tests which will be necessary be
fore any decision Is reached as to the
type of concentrators needed. These
tests will require probably 60 days
and Mr. Buriey says he will announce
through the columns of The Courier
the results of his Investigation and
what he considers necessary to be
done for the best Interests of the
company. Since operating the mine,
the receiver has found that it Is a
bigger property than he had any
Idea, and, like Mr. Ross, is of the
opinion that the ore Is 30 per cent,
smelting and 70 per cent, concen
trating. Since August 21 the smelter has
put out about $14,000 worth of matte
but It was only by the strictest econ
omy that it showed a small margin
of profit. The Item of hauling had
been reduced somethlnn over 70
per cent, by the use of automobile
truck, which hauled matte from the
smelter to the railway station at Mer
lin, a distance of 17 miles. This re
duced the expense from $10 per ton,
as previously paid when four-horse
teams were used, to $2.69 Der ton
Mr. Buriey is more than satisfied
with the value of the property, but
he considers It absolutely necessary
to Install a concentrator to be used
in conjunction with the present smelter.
The annual Southern Oregon Boys'
contcicuce Is to be held this year at

ciation are entitled to the same num
