With Gov ernor Sulzer impeached by the Assem bly and the date of his trial before tho'spnate and the judges of the court of appeals fixed for September- 18th, I the spectacle, was presented lomgnt of two men claiming to be Governor of the State of New York. - As soon as the articles of impeach ment adopted at an early hour this morning by the Democratic majority in the Assembly were presented to the Senate, shortly after S o clock this afternoon, Lieut. Governor Martin H. Clvnn announced his intention of oc ,."nVinr then pxeeutive chamber. iTripnds of Governor Sulzer declar ed that the Governor intended to con- timiP n omce ana womu use evcu weapon in his power to maintain his the ground that the As sembly had no constitutional right to consider inipeacnmem ai us eiinwr dinary session- - Mav Call Out Militia. snmp asserted that the Governor would go so far as to summon mili tary protection if necessary to pre vent the lieutenant governor from oo the executive chamber.

' '- ". :' ' So far as could be learned, no at tempt was made by Lieutenant Gov ernor 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. Clash Expected Today. . The lieutenant governor would not indicate tonight what action he pro posed to take . except to say that there would be "no circus or military maneuvers about occupying the exe cutive chamber; the law is supreme." The inaction of Lieutenant Govern or Glynn in the matter was in the face of arguments given expression both in the Senate and in the Assem bly today that at the moment the arti cles of impeachment were . presented to the Senate Governor Sulzer ahto-J matically ceased to be the chief, ex ecutive. ' - , Contention Based on Code. This contention . was based on an article in the constitution which says that "in case of impeachment of the J '.overnor tne powers and duties of the office . shall devolve upon the lieutenant governor." It was held by .the majority leaders that the word "impeachment" corres ponded with the word "indictment" in a criminal trial, and that therefore, in I iue meauing oi tne constuuion, tne Governor already stood impeach, e,ven though not yet convicted, and was,' therefore, not now eligible to hold his office. These arguments were placed be fore the lieuteh&at ; governor by the Democratic leaders' ' early in the afi ternoon, but nevertheless, Governor sulzer was not molested. A few min utes after the Governor left his office Patrick E. McCabfe,. clerk of the Sen ate, appeared at the executive cham ber with a copy of the articles of im peachment and a summons and com plaint which he intended to serve up u th,e Governor. When informed by tne Governor's secretary that he had missed the Governor by scarcely a: "mute, McCabe asked for an appoint- ment (l ( .

She picked up the unfinished story of her intimacy wit hthe defendant, and carried it through to the end, low ering her eyes at times and dropping her voice almost to a 'whisper, but never faltering in her answers. When she left the stand subect Jto further examination "tomorrow ner story re mained unchanged. .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 a Platonic friend ship. During the cross-examination Diggs constantly prompted; the questions ; of his attorneys and steadily kept his eyes on v the girl's veiled face but she constantly ' avoided his gaze. When the essentials .or her previous testimony were called into doubt she made her answers a stronger re-affirmation. x The Judge Emphatic The court room was somewhat startled in the afternoon session -by the emphatic admonition of the udge to the jury that the case must not be discussed . by jthe jurors, particularly with. any friena.-ot, UiggS' or Drew, ca mlnettijthe latteriserdefendant in. an other case on. a" similar indictment The judge, said they must not even al low the case to be mentioned withm their hearing or read about it in the newspapers. These are. the ; usual instructions to jurors, but the emphasis with which they were twice repeated by Judge Van Fleet this afternoon gave rise to inuuries which he would not satisfy, Theodore Boche, who thus far has conducted the government's case. merely said there was reason for the court's order. One juror admitted he had been in company where the case was discussed, though he had not joined in the talk. Just before adjournment, Attorney Nathan Coghlan, for the defense, ask ed permission to place Roche on the stand. On tne return trip from Keno, he said, while Diggs, Caminetti, Lola Norris and Miss Warrington were un der arrest, Miss Warrington had given to Assistant Attorney Atkinson, of Sacramento, a statement of the elope ment, which was taken' down by an of ficial court reporter and which he said he was informed was entirely at va riance with . her testimony in court The defense wished this statement in evidence. . , Judge Van Fleet held that he had no powe tro compel the prosecution to surrender the -statement, but he was willing it should be introduced by agreement,- and if introduced that -it snould be made the basis of cross-ex amination. Roch eresisted the motion: Registered as Married - The story Lola Norris will tell was foreshadowed ligntly wnen Misa War rington testified - that sh eand Diggs had been companions of Caminetti and Miss Norris-on various trips to San Francisco, Stockton and San Jose, where they had registered under false names as married couples.c Two minor witnesses the managing: editor of a Sacramento newspaper and the probation officer of Sacramento county denied today that there had been any scandal connected1 with the names of the four, on the point of ex ploding into print, Or that arrests were impending if they remained m Sacra mento.

The action Of the women delegates in voting not .to organize a National Catholic Woman's Union, was still a chief-topic in the lobbies of the con vention hall today. While a lack f financial support is given as the main reason for -the action of -the women, it is reported from good sources that the main topic of the women at the closed meeting yesterday when the negative .vote was taken, was Arch bishop S. G. Messmer s ruling- that the women must not discuss the suffra gette question. The women's organi zation was known to have Archbishop Messner favorite idea for the last two years, and it also was known that he firmly opposed woman suffrage as an element in the proposed league. Wnen tne Federation- -meets next year, it is expected that another con certed move will be made to form the league, whether suffrage is allowed to be debated or not. Score Sabbath Desecration.
