WILL mum TII MANAGERS ISSUE STATEMENT AT CLOSE OF CONFERENCE. Assemblymen in Charge of Impeach- ment Proceedings Deny Case Has Been Prejudged—Guilt or Innocence the Only Issue. ' Albany, Aug. 19.—Former Senator Edgar T. Brackett and Eugene Lamb Richards, counsel for the Frawley committee, were designated special counsel to assist the assembly mana- gers of the impeachment trial of Gov- ernor Sulzer, at a meeting held this afternoon. It was stated that addi- tional counsel would be named to- morrow. The names of John B. Staunchfleld and William Travers Je- rome are mentioned most prominently in this connection. All but two of the nine assembly- men designated to have charge of the proceedings are lawyers. Majority Leader Levy the chairman, said that the individual managers might be uti- lized as assistant counsel. The pro- cedure of the trial will be mapped out at tomorrow's meeting. The following statement was given out: \The board wishes it known that it is extremely desirous that the proceed- ings shall be conducted in a full, fair and impartial manner, and 1 refuses to be drawn into any undignified contro- versies, save that it deplores the fact urged by unscrupulous persons that this case has been prejudged. The board is carefully considering the evidence presented and is mar- shalling the same with a view of pre- senting it before the court of impeach- ment, composed of the court of ap- peals and senate of this state, and of expediting and facilitating the trial, that full and equal justice may be done. The proofs will be squarely present- ed to the high court of impeachment and the only issue is the guilt or in- nocence of the impeached governor. Constant effort is being made to cloud and befog this real and only issue. Technicalities will not be indulged in by the managers. The trial must be full and free. The people are entitled to know, and will know the truth. Chairman Frawley announced that the time and place of the next meet- ing of the committee would depend upon what business might develop be- fore the legislature. His opinion was that -the committee's hearings would be resumed within a few days and he reiterated the assertion that there is plenty of new matter on hand to keep the committee busy for a considerable period. MRS. HARVEY P. WILLARD. Indian River Chair Co. Case. George Sherwood of this village, trustee for the bondholders of the In- dian River Chair Company, Ltd., of Philadelphia, has brought an action in. supreme court for the foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust exe- cuted by the company on or about Oc- tober 1, 1908, to secure the payment of the bonds of the company issued on and since that date. William J. Guthrie of Philadelphia has been appointed receiver. Bonds to the amount of $50,000 were issued with interest payable semi-annually April 1 and Oct. 1. The company is in. default of interest since October, 1912, and the trustee, by virtue of the authority given him has declared the entire principal and interest of the bonds immediately due. The property covered by the mort- gage is in the counties of Jefferson and Lewis. George S. Reed of Low- ville is attorney for the trustee. Bateman Case. The automobile case in which Mr. Niles' Bateman was apprehended for violation of the village ordinance which relates to open cut outs, was decided by Judge Egleton against the defendant. The matter in dispute was over the boundary line of the corpo- ration, Mr. Bateman contending that he was outside of the limits and the prosecution's that he was within. The facts as they appeared show that Mr. Bateman was 500 feet inside of the line. The case was held in abeyance for several days while the records were being searched, the final decision resulting from this investigation. Judge Egleton entered a fine of $5.00 against Mr. Bateman for the offense, which he paid. District Attorney P. G. Williams represented the village and Mr. C. S. Mereness, jr. the de- fendant. Alarm of Fire Tuesday Evening. An alarm of fire rang out on the dry air Tuesday evening at 8:15 which caused the rapid rally of the local fire department at the engine house. The apparatus was hastily rushed to the scene of the fire which had been extinguished before the de- partment arrived and what might have been a serious conflagration was averted. It seems that in a house close to the bridge near the Strife House barn, an electric iron had been left standing on an ironing board. The board took fire and was promptly thrown out of the building. No dam- age was done except to the board which it is believed was fully 1 covered by insurance. The boys made a quick run to the bridge and are to be con- gratulated on their speed and effi- ciency. Fair Dances Four Nights. Don't forget the dances at Burdick's Hall, Lowville, each night of the fair. Bostwick's orchestra will furnish mu- sic. Good time for everybody. All are invited, Adv. Died at Her Home in Boonville Friday After a Long and Useful Life. At 4 o'clock Friday morning, at her home on Post street, in Boonville, oc- curred the death of Sophia, widow of the late Harvey P. Willard. Mrs. Wil- lard was in her 92nd year and had re- tained her health and faculties to a remarkable degree until two weeks ago, when she fell in her room and sustained a fractured hip which, at her age, was to great a burden to bear and she failed day by day until she was called to her long home Friday morning. Mrs. Willard was the adopted daughter of Daniel and Emily Wells of New Hartford. She was born Mar. 23, 1822, and attended Whitestown Academy in 1839, and Lowville Acad- emy in 1840. She was married Aug. 21, 1845, and for nearly all the time from then lived in Boonville. She was a devoted member of the Presby- terian church and was the oldest member, and so long as her health permitted was a faithful attendant at church, the Sunday school and Missionary Society, bhe loved her home and many were the acts of kind- ness which she performed and many were the homes made happier by her good works. Her memory will ever be cherished by her family. Her hus- band died 26 years ago. From that time she has made her home with her daughter, Julia Q. Willard, who has cared for her mother tenderly and faithfully. She is survived by the Col- lowing children: Mrs. S. S. Bisseil, Waterville,; Francis A. Willard, Al- bany; Julia Q. Willard, J. Arthur, Wil- lard, Garry A. Willard, Boonville, and Edwin H. Willard, Utica. mm FOB GLYNN BOONVILLE BOY KILLED. M ESCAPES ilipped and Fell Under Car Loaded With Sand, Killing Him Instantly.

Lowville Chapter, u. A. It., motored to Houseville Thursday last to attend the monthly meeting of the Chapter. The meeting was held at the home of M'i's. Frank Miller, who was assisted in entertaining by Mrs. Chester A. Lonas of Greig. A pleasing program had been arranged which included several interesting addresses and songs. A vocal solo, \The Butterfly Song,\ was rendered by Mrs. A. G. Brooks, formerly of Lowville, but now of Mount Vernon. \Pre-Revolutionary Feeling in England\ was presented by Mrs. J. S. Bowen in her usual de- lightful manner. \As the Moon Rose\ by Miss Lucy Phelps, an address on Gettysburg, prepared by Mrs. George O. Volovic, was listened to with much inte'rest. \English View of Represen- tation,\ by Miss Mary R. Carter, re- ceived the appreciation which it well merited. The party from Lowville consisted of 50 ladies. The day was unusually fine, the trip being more en- joyable on this account. All who at- tended had a very pleasant time, and at the close of the program, after par- taking of a delicious luncheon, re- turned to their homes highly appre- ciating the occasion and the hospital- ity extended by the hostesses, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Lonas. Leroy Doxtater's Success. Dr. Leroy W. Doxtater, of New York, is spending a few days with friends, in this village. The doctor is one of our best known young men, ,, . ^ . .. _, . who have gone out in the world and the ^ Pomt in question. This section made good. He spent his youth here, outcome of Impeachment proceedings against Governor Sulzer, according to an official opinion rendered today by Attorney General Carmody to Secre- tary of State Mitchell May. Mr. Car- mody holds that the assembly was within its rights in instituting im- peachment proceedings at an extraor- dinary session. \When the governor is impeached by the assembly,\ says the opinion, \all of his powers are automatically suspeuded until he has been acquit- ted or the impeachment proceedings dismissed by the Court of Impeach- ment. In the meantime the lieutenant governor acts as governor. This is the plain intent of the constitution. Any other construction would nullify: its express provision.\ Says Assembly Gould Convene\ Itself. With reference to the authority of the assembly to initiate impeachment proceedings, the attorney general says: \It is my opinion that if the ass&m? bly was not assembled, either in hf- traordinary or regular session, Int might assemble itself and proceedUo the discharge of its powers in this re-, gard. Otherwise the governor of the state could' prevent the impeachment of himself and his friends in office for crimes however great, after the adjournment of the regular session of the legislature, by the simple process of omitting to call the legislature in session.\ Attorney General Carmody's opin- ion with reference to the status of the governorship and the authority of the legislature, lays down these prin- ciples of law: \After the impeachment of the gov- ernor in the assembly the powers of the office devolve upon the lieutenant governor until the disability shall cease.\ Other Points in Carmody's Opinion. The term \impeachment\ is used in this connection in its ordinary sense and means the presentation of char- ges. \The assembly is not precluded from the exercise of its constitutional pow- ers by the fact that at the time the legislature of which it forms a part is convened in extraordinary session for other purposes.\ In support of his contention the at- torney general quotes Article IV, sec- tion 6 of the constitution, which pro- vides that, \In the case of the im- peachment of the governor or his re- moval from office,\ by reason of death, resignation or other causes, \the pow- ers and duties of the office shall de- volve upon the lieutenant governor .for the residue of the term or until the disability shall cease.\ He then cites section 129 of the code of criminal procedure as \legislative interpretation of the organic law\ on killing him instanly. The car Is used for filling canal boats and is loaded back in the pit and drawn out on a track by a horse. There is a strong brake on all the cars and Mr. Croak himself was on this car handling the brake, but when the boy slipped he was so near the car that it could not be stopped. Williamson went to work for Cronk Tuesday morning and was a bright, active and willing fellow. The body was taken at once to Dr. Douglass' office in Hough's automobile but all signs of life;-were extinct. Cor-, oner Haberer was ''summoned and af- ter going to the sand pit to view the spot where the accident occurred, he held an inquest at 3 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Williamson have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. Be- sides his parents, .the young man leaves two brqthgxs. and two sisters. Edward E. Vary. j- Edward E. Vary, of Harrisburg, died at his home in that place last week. Mr. Vary was Well known and much esteemed by his friends. He was born in the_J:c-w-n-~-of- fijreig 66 Jjears ago. The children survivBi'g\aTe - Lynn \Vary of Lowville, Kent Vary of Harrisburg, Fred S. and Barton Vary, both of Copenhagen. Funeral servi- ces were held Sunday at 2 o'clock from the church. passing through our educational insti- tutions with honor; afterward he at- tended Michigan University, from which institution he graduated win- ning distinction in curriculum and the athletic field. Dr. Doxtater had his own way to make. He is a man of unusually fine physique and mus- cular development, for which he has no one to thank but himself. As a boy he was puny and inclined to be sick- ly. As he grew older he began the practice of physical culture, system- matically applied, by which means he became strong and healthy. Before he settled down to the study of his profession, that of a dental surgeon, he went abroad in search of adven- ture. Shipping as a sailor before the mast on coastwise vessels and trans- atlantic steamers, seeing a great deal of our own country and much of Eu- rope on his travels. After completing a post graduate course in dental sur- gery, he located in the city of New York, where he enjoys an extensive practice. The doctor has done some writing along professional lines whijjh have been widely read by everyone interested in the cases treated. H. N. Young Wins Scholarship. The following have been awarded grange scholarships for the short course at the state agricultural col- lege: M. G. Barrett, Medina, Orleans county; A. B. Tuttle, Eastport, Suf- folk county; N. J.

Phillips Entertains. Mrs. M. A. Phillips entertained-'at bridge on Friday afternoon at her home on Easton street. Miss Eugenia March and Miss Olive March of New York, assisted her in doing the hon- ors. Fifteen tables of auction bridge were played on the lawn, a ten course luncheon being served, which was greatly enjoyed by the ladies present. Miss Katherine Hesler was winner of the favor. reads: \No officer shall exercise his office after articles of impeachment against him have been delivered to the senate, until he is acquitted. Meaning of Impeachment. \The meaning of the word 'impeach- ment' is well denned,\ the opinion re- cites, \both in popular and its legal meaning, it unquestionably means the presentation of the charge. It is so used in the constitution itself, which provides in section 13, of article VI: 'The assembly shall have the pow- er of impeachment, by a vote of a majority of all the members elected.\ Practically similar provisions have been incorporated in all the constitu- tions of the states, the attorney gener- al contends, for more than a century and this fact has been so recognized by statute. He cites the case of David Butler, who was impeached in 1871 as governor of Nebraska, the duties of governor immediately devolving upon the next in line of succession, under a constitution with substantially iden- tical provisions. The attorney general dismisses the claim that the assembly was without authority to institute impeachment proceedings at an extraordinary ses- sion by reason of the constitutional limitation of consideration at such a session to matters specifically rec- ommended by the governor. This claim, (says function is not legislative) he finds, is clearly based upon a misapprehension of the nature of the functions of the assembly when adopting and presenting the articles. This is in no sense a legislative func- tion, it is judicial. Continuing the opinion says that the \power of the assembly to present ar- ticles of impeachment is in no manner connected with its\ powers as one of the bodies of the legislature. It is the presenting branch of the court for the trial of impeachment. It occupies the same relative position to that court as the grand jury to' the Supreme court and the county courts.\ Attention is called to tlie fact that the constitution does not specifically provide for the assemblage of the court of appeals, the supreme court and other courts, \but jurisdiction is granted them and their composition defined.\ The attorney general concludes, therefore, that if this lack of definite- ness in the constitution applies to the assembly, \it can with equal force be fiWIflfPRIMiYlLL Bill Passed Over Governor's Veto Re- duces Size of Billot—Saves the State $1,000,000. Material reductions, in election ex- penses are anticipated by the work- ings of the amendment to the election law passed over Gov. Sulzer's veto immediately after his impeachment last week. It has been estimated by some that the saving to the state will amount to $1,000,000. Under the Blauvelt-VanWoert short bill, the commissioners of election are now given disM-etion^ in the mat- ter of publishing' v enr;dIlnTeht' book's. The old law called for 50 copies for each election district, although there was no demand for anything like this number, some towns making no use of them at all. A material reduction in the length of primary ballots will be effected i by the amendment. The caption line is to be reduced from one inch to one- half inch, while the space for candi- dates' names is to be one-sixth in- stead of one-half inch deep. With these changes, it is not expected that any ballot will be over 18 inches in length. The longest one will be that of the Republican party where the unit of representation on the county committee is the assembly district rather than the election district. The amendment also eliminates the provision that a candidate's name shall not appear more than once on a ballot, the court of. appeals having held the provision to be unconstitu- tional. There will be but two registration days in towns and villages of less than 5,000 population, instead of four as heretofore. In towns of more than 5,000 four days will still be held. The signatures of five per cent of the vote cast for governor at the last election must be secured for inde- pendent nominations to office in any political sub-division, although not more than 1,500 for nomination to any borough or county office. The bili does not affect the date of filing designations, the holding of meetings for designations, nor the places in which the preliminaries are to be held. cannot exercise their functions be- cause the constitution is silent in re- gard to the method of convening those tribunals. \That it is not necessary that the | senate be in regular session in order j to try an impeachment in conjunction with the other members of the court,\ says the opinion, \has been recognized since the earliest times.\ For these reasons the attorney-gen- eral concludes, the assembly would be entirely within its rights to initiate impeachment proceedings even though it might have to assemble itself for that purpose. Otherwise, \if no im- peaching body can be assembled, no action whatever can be taken against the governor, and ample time might even be accorded to an unscrupulous and ambitious incumbent of the office to entirely overthrow our form of government and assume powers of dictatorship during the time afforded between adjournment of one session of the legislature and the assemblage of the next, if he cannot be reached by impeachment. It would be a monstrous proposition indeed to assert that during a very large portion of the year there is in our organic law no adequate provision to protect the state from acts of mis- government, malfeasance and corrup- tion on the part of its officers, no mat- ter how vicious such acts might be. The fact that there is no statute directing the methods of convening Milkman and Leaves State in High Power Auto—Immune from Arrest As He Was Held As Insane Person. Hurry K. Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, escaped from the New York State Hospital for the Criminal In- sane at Mattewan, N. Y., at 7:45 o'clock Sunday morning. Darting past an attendant who had just opened the gate to the asylum grounds for the milkman to enter, Thaw leaped into a six-cylinder auto- mobile, which stood throbbing oppo- site the entrance, and disappeared in a whirlwind of dust in the direction of the Connecticut state line. A sec- ond automobile followed him. In his powerful car Thaw swept through the Hamlet of Stormville, 10 miles away, at 60 miles an hour, heading for Connecticut. Dr. F. R. C. Kieb, the hospital head, believes that Thaw fled to some spot on the shore of Long Island Sound and boarded a yacht for Europe. A reward of $500 has been offered by Dr. Kieb for Thaw's apprehension. Thaw's former counsel and officials I of the state hospital commission ex- pressed the opinion that Thaw would be a free man once outside of the state's boundaries. They thought he ,'could not be brought back to New jYork by extradition unless he were /legally adjudged insane in the state ' : fo which he fled. Mrs. Mary Oopeley Thaw, the fugi- tive's aged mother, manifested delight at his escape. Mrs. Evelyn Thaw, playing at a New York theatre, pro- cessed to be terrorized and said she feared he would attempt to execute his repeated threat to kill her. Police and detectives guarded her. Howard H. Barnu|tn, the asylum at- tendant who\ witnessed the successful break for liberty, was locked up in the county jail on a charge of aiding and abetting Thaw in his escape. William T. Jerome, the former dis- trict attorney oi New York, who has thwarted all Thaw's legal attempts to gain freedom, refused 1 to express his opinion as to whether Thaw could be brought back to New York when found. District Attorney Whitman, of New York, also declined to give his views.' The mix up at Albany over the gov- ernorship is regarded as favorable to Thaw^s prospects o& .rernaining long out of the' state even if he should be apprehended and extradition papers issued for his return. Martin H. tiiynn, as acting gover- nor, directed by telegraph the super- intendent of state prisons to make a report on Thaw's escape, and said he would begin at once, a sweeping in- quiry. How Thaw Got Past Watchman. The shades were drawn in the dor- mitories and the inmates were get- ting their second sleep when Thaw left his room Sunday morning. He was fully dressed. The milkman's cart was rumbling on the road out- side as he walked through the store< room and into the outer courtyard of the asylum grounds. Barnum, sole attendant at the road gate, was pacing back and forth when Thaw closed the store room door behind him and ap- parently did not grasp the significance of Thaw's early rising. Long years of residence at the asy- lum and repeated declarations by Thaw that he would never attempt to obtain his freedom except by legal means had established Thaw's status as a \trusty.\ There was little out of the ordinary in his appearance, even at so early an hour, in the court yard and if Barnum saw him—as to this ! no one, save the hospital authorities, J could say, and they refused to talk— I he raised no question. j A six-cylinder black 60 horsepower touring car followed by a limousine, I also black, loafed lazily along the road j as the milkman drew near the gate. I Thaw, standing a few feet away ap- , parently unconcerned, waited until ' Barnum unlocked the gate and swung } it wide to let the milkman enter. At ' the same moment the two cars drew up on the further side of the road op- posite the gate and the touring car stood still, its engine throbbing. As Barnum stood aside milkman to drive into the grounds, he SPfON KOP .'&tyl3|$r?$$g p'r i^ British-Boer battlefield Boughj:'.W'''j& Religious Sbiple'ty-...-, '«j; t \'.i Spion Kop, the mountain just|;bu£' side the city of 'Ladysmjthy; ,• jf&tffi.

The limousine' had been left behind. At the speed which the black car traveled through Stormville he should have reached the state line within half an hour. Barnum's breathless declaration brought Dr. Kieb to his feet like a pis- tol shot. Within a moment he was at the telephone, and as Barnum pour- ed the story into his \ears repeated it over the wire to police headquar- ters. Mattewan became the center of a widening ripple of telephone and telegraph alarms as Dr. Kieb planned pursuit. But the ten minute start, the high power of the car in which Thaw made his flight, the nearness of the Con- necticut state line, toward which Thaw was heading, and the inferior power of the pursuing car, militated against him and made the chase hope- less. Five minutes ride away he met William Flannigan, a liveryman. \I saw frim,' ! Flannigan shouted. \He was near Fishkill village and going sixty miles an hour. I saw him coming and just had time to crowd my horse close to one side of the road.

Down the roadway the cars sped in a • whirling cloud of dust that blotted them from sight. For a moment Bar- num shaded his eyes with his hand against the sun and watched them; then with the first great blot on his career of 20 years as keeper, he dashed back into the grounds and locked the gate. \Thaw's Gone, Escaped.\ \Thaw's gone, escaped!\ he shout- ed, bursting into Dr. Kieb's presence. And in a moment the hunt was on. The great black car flashed like a thunderbolt through Stormville, ten miles east of Mattewan, along the road to the Connecticut line. Early risers in the little hamlet saw three men—and Thaw—crouching low to escape the sweep of their rush through the air. They were going 70 miles an hour. They were ten min- utes out of Mattewan. near the state line, however, was able to give any information. Educational Exhibit.

Some of the work will be- entered for prizes under the Juvenile* list and the rest will be classed under the exhibit of the school from„ which it was taken. dfc~ Thaw Captured in Canada. Sherbrboke, Que., Aug. 19.—Harry K. Thaw was arrested today at the village of St. Hermenigilde de Gar- ford, just over the from New fwyppp ford, just over the Canadian line and is now in custody of the Canadian gov- ernment. It is thought that Thaw will be deported to New Hampshire, the state from which he entered Canada. If this is done a long le al fight seems to be in prospect with little chance of his being returned to the New York authorities. In his own defense Thaw claims that when arrested he was merely passing through Canada on his way to Detroit and cited the case of Jack Johnson to bear out -his contention that he cannot be sent back to the Forest Fires. Fires are again devastating our for- ^ ests in spite of the vigilance of th& state fire patrol, ija,nd while the fires. are to some extent under control, yet should a strong \vtod arise, there- would be danger of an unusual nature- because of the extVeme dryness which has prevailed for a month or more. One Are broke out near Grace pohd,. while tw'o broke out at Fourth creek. Their origin is unknown but may no- doubt be ascribed to carelessness of strangers visiting the woods, many of whom need watching. Henry TiirCk, • »,Jj one of the best woodsmen in this se<i- ^' tion, and living at Number Four, with Albert Dunbar of this town are fight- ing the flames. .

While Jasper Clark, R. F. D. car- rier, was driving through Slab City,, his horse took fright at an automo- bile and plunged into a barb wire fence, throwing him violently out of the vehicle. His horse was bad- ly lacerated by contact with the wire, being torn about the neck and shoui-' ders. The harness was also consid- erably damaged. Mr, Clark received but a few slight abrasions of the skin and was practically unhurt. u I ja 5 *\^*'**
