SULZER DENIES HE

OFFICETOGLYNN

Right of Lieutenant

Governor to Act;

DEFIES LAWYERS;

MAKES STATEMENT

Validity of Impeachment Not

Yet Decided, and Action Taken

Pending Appeal?Newspaper

Man, Jailed by Legisla

ture, Secures Writ of

Habeas Corpus.

Albany, N. Y, September 20.?Gov

ernor Sulzer to-night broka his Ion?

Filenca, which ho haa maintained since

his Impeachment trial began, and de

clared he had no Intention of resigning,

and would fight the battle to the end.

"Resign?" he ejaoulated. "I have no

more idea of doing that than I have of

committing hara-kiri," and then the

Govornor thumped hla Interviewer on

the chest and gave other evidences of

the fact that he la in a lighting mood.

The Governor'* formal stalcmcnt

that ho would rot resign was not Is

Bucd until after he had argued at great

length with his counsel. Throughout

the case they have been opposed to his

saving anything for publication, but ho

has overruled them a few times, though

rot slnco th<> trial began until to-night.

?Vrvrr Thought of Resigning.

His statement follows:

"I have b"en advised by my counsel

not to make any statement or do any

talking, but I hav. got to have my

way In one thing.

"I am not going t resign, and I

have never thought of ualng so.

"The stories that I am aro circulated

for political effect, and no one better

than their authors knows their utter

falsity."

Counsel for Governor Sulzer to-night

refused to discuss whether ho would

take the witness stand, but it Is said

by cIoho frlenda that ha has no other

thought. Ho feels, they say. that lie

has a story to tell that the people

;hould hear, and he Is going to tell it.

Hut he will not say that such Is hie

plan.

The general Interpretation placed

on the letter which Mr. Sulzer sent

yesterday . to I-lctitenant-Governor

Glynn, turning over to hlrn for signa

tures requlwltion papors for tho ex

tradition of a prisoner, was that he

would resign. The letter was taken

to mean that tho Impeached execi^

tlve thereby recognized the right of

Mr. Glynn to act as Governor pending

the outcome of the trial.

All Kmphntlcnlly Deny.

That hla counsel?Valentine Taylor

anil P. Cady Herrlck, as well as the

Governor's secretary, Chester C. Piatt?

all emphatically denied.

They made It plain that he did not

recognize In the recent decision of

Supreme Court Justice Hasbrouck

that Mr. Sulzer, as Governor, had no

right to exercise the pardoning power.

"Neither Governor Sulzer nor his

counsel." said Judge Herrlck to-night,

"lias conceded for one moment tho

right of Lieutenant-Governor Glynn

to act as Governor, nor that the As

sembly had Jurisdiction to Impeach him

at the extraordinary session."

Counsel for Governor Sulzer asked

Mr. Glynn shortly after the articles of

Impeachment were served on tho Gov

ernor to mako a test case, so that the

Question as to who was to act as Gov

ernor In the meantime might be de

cided. Of course. It followed that if

such r test was made, both parties

would abide by tho result. The re

quest was refused.

Waiting for n?Tfr?aI.

"Without any co-operation on the

part of, or by the advice of counsel

for the Governor a case was brought

before Justice Hasbrouck, which In

volved the question as to whether

Governor Sulzer had the right to grant

a pardon. That decision was adverse

to such right Governor Sulzer lm-.

mediately was advised to perform no

further executive act, but to respect

the decision of the court until it should

be reversed.

"Yesterday two matters arose that

seemed to demand immediate consider

ation, and under the decision of Justice

Hasbrouck, It was thought that the

public would not recognize any act of

Governor Sulzer. His counsel for tho

purpose of enabling the seemingly

urgent matters to be disposed of. ad

vised that the papers should bo trans

mitted to Lieutenant-Governor Glynn,

thus abiding by the decision of the

court until it could bo reversed by a

higher tribunal.

Validity of Impeachment Not Decided.

"The question as to tho validity of

the Impeachment is now being argued,

and it is absurd to think, pending that

argument, and before any decision by

the court for tho trial of impeachment

is made. Governor Sulzer or his coun

sel would In any way concede tho le

gality of tho proceedings of the Legis

lature or that ho is not rightfully en

titled to continue to act as Governor.

Th9 decision of tho court of Impeach

ment on the question will probably

come Monday. Attorney Marshall Is

expected to finish his argument Mon

day morning, and Judge Parker, chief

counsel for the Impeachment managers,

will answer it. Tho voto will follow,

(inrrltion Gets n Writ.

James O. Garrison, tho Governor's

friend and graft Investigator, to-day

was still a prisoner In the Albany

County Penitentiary, whero ho was

yesterday committed by tho Now York

Assembly.

Supremo Court Justice Cochran?, nt

Hudson, to-night issued a writ of ha

'beas corpus for Garrison, returnable at

Troy Monday afternoon.

Tho writ was obtained after a day

of hard labor by Gilbert 13. Itoo and

John T. McDonough, attorneys for

Garrison. Karly to-day thoy began

searching for a Supreme Court justice

in Albany, but their efforts were fu

tile. Then they began telephoning

around the State for another justice.

Finally Justice Cochrano was located

at his home in Hudson, where he issued

the writ.

TWENTY-CENT DINNERS ,

Dtfyonltat Gtrl Kills Herself, Expert

Declares It Suftlelent.

Chicago, September 20.?Social wel

fare workers were Interested to-day In

the fate of Selnia Peterson, a nirfeteen

year-old girl employed In a clothing

factory, who committed suicide-' after

sl)e had lived for six months on meals

which food experts had said were suf

ficient to sustain llfo. Her reason for

her act was given In a note:

"Wages too low. Life not worth

living."

In a notebook she had set down her

weekly expenditures, Bhowlng that

meals, room rent, car fare and laundry

took 57.25 of her $8 wages. There

were entries which stated that her

dally diet consisted of the following:

For breakfast, coffee and rolls; for

dinner, beef stow and milk and rice

pudding; for supper, fruit, salad, gra

ham crackers and milk.

Shortly before the girl died, she re

gained consciousness. To a physician

bhe said:

"Doctor, did you ever live for six

months on 20-cent dinners?"

The menu In the girl's diary was sub

mitted to an expert on food values,

who asserted It contained all of the

elements necessary to support life.

! SLAVERY IN PHILIPPINES

! Investigation l?jr Government Shown

Conclusively It Exists.

Washington, September 20.?Secre

tary Carrison had before him to-day a

Philippine slavery report by W. II.

Phlppu. auditor for the islands, piacti-*

cally backing up the startling charges

; of Dean Worcester. It cites details of

| many eases of boya or girls sold into

! slavery at prices ranging from $<>0 to

. $100, and that heads of savage families

sell their daughters and regard the

practice as right.

"1 have no hesitancy In Baying that

I T think that the charges of Secretary

I Worcester that slavery exists In the

Philippines aro sustained." says Mr.

I'hlpps.

The phlpps report Is bas"d upon In

1 vestigatlons conducted under the di

' rectlon of the Philippine auditor by

I district auditor*. Some slaves are held

outright and some under the so-called

"debt" system, the fallacy of which is

shown by the fact that some of the

slaves so held are more than sixty

years of ape. and have been held by the

present owners since birth. All of the

district auditors who assisted Mr.

I'hlpps were obliged to promise their

Informants th.it the source of their

( information would riot lie made public.

The names of the ofllclals who helped

in the preparation of the report also

arc withheld.

MAKE AZORES NEUTRAL

Propose to Kstabllsh International /.one

on Opening of Canal.

Ix>ndon, September 20.?A proposal

to make the Azores Archipelago an In

ternational neutral zone is being con

I aidered by the l*nited States, British

. and German governments, according to

to-day's Manchester Guardian. The

I proposal Is said to be Incidental to the

? opening of the Panama Canal. The

j fact that German. United States and

I Hritish companies have a Joint cable

(station on the islands, makes free ac

cess to them of the utmost import

ance.

"It is proposed." says the Guardian,

"that a Joint treaty be arranged be

j tvreen Portugal and the other civilized

nations, by which a neutral interna

tional zone shall be -established and

strictly maintained in the archipelago.

It is suggested that all vessels within

this zone bo protected against attack

or seizure and allowed to receive pro

, visions and fuel."

GATES DEMANDS SPEED

Walts Over for Kant Ront to IJellght

of Hotel Kmploves.

[Special to The Times -Dispatch.]

New York, September 20.?When the

Irnperator sailed from lloboken to

day Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Gates,

who had engaged passage, were not

,oii board. Mr. Gates arrived from St.

Paul a few days ago on a special train

'costing J3,0-1 tl. for the express/purpose

i of taking the Irnperator, but when

! he found that the Lusitanla, sailing on

Wednesday, was a faster boat, the

plunger son of the late John W. Gates

decided to wait.

"Speed, my boy, speed, is what I

want." was Mr. Gates's way of explain

ing his reason for waiting over. "I

want tv go on the fastest boat, and

they tell me that Is the Lusitanla, and

so I'll just wait for her."

The employes of the Hotel Plaza,

where Mr. Gates has a suite all of the

time, were delighted when they learned

Mr. Gates was to remain In town four

days more, for Mr. Gates has made a

boast that he gives away $1,000,000 a

year In tips, and he has been trying

to improve his record at the Plaza.

PRESIDENT REMEMBERS

Gives Job to Daughter-ln-Lavr of Ills

Former I,a\r Partner.

Washington, September 20.?Mrs.

Annie S. Iiennlck is a proud woman

to-day, for President Wilson waved the

civil service rules anil regulations to

appoint her to a $1,000 position in the

Stale Department. Mrs. Uennick is the

daughter-in-law of the President's old

time law partner, and she needed the

place. The fact of her necessity was

enough for the President. She got It.

When Woodrow Wilson was gradu

ated from the law school of the Univer

sity of Virginia, in 1881, ho went to

Atlanta. There ho formed a partner

ship with Hennlck, but clients refused

to climb the stairs to the new firm's

oftlces, and, as a result, the ^partner

ship was not of long duration. It was

long enough, however, to Insure execu

tive assistance more* than thirty

years later for the daughter-in-law of

the senior member of the firm.

WILSON WINS IN

TAKING TARIFF

OFF BANANAS

Insists "Poor Man's'

Food" Must Be Admit

ted Without Duty.

SIMMONS THINKS

REVENUE ASSURED

Critical Study of This Phase of

i Bill Is Still Under Way in Con

ference?Works of Art Are [

Put on Free List?Con

ferees Making Good

Progress.

j "Washington, September 20.?Presrt

l dent Wilson scored a signal victory

; In th? House and Senate conference on

the tarlfr bill to-day, when the con

ferees agreed to retain bana.na? on

the free list

Tho President has contended all

along that bananas, the "poor man's

food,'' should be admitted to the

| United States duty free. The Senate

took an opposite view of the matter,

and placed a duty of one-tenth of l

cent per pound on the fruit.

Action Lose* Die Revenue.

Senator Simmons, chairman of the

Senate Finance Committee, contendc?l

that this tax would bring an annual

revenue of nearly $.">.000.900. The levy

of this tax was held permisfiible be

cause banana growing was not an

American Industry and was controlled

by a trust.

All possible speed was made to-day

! by the conferees, and a number of

conflicting points were disposed of.

Among these was the retention of

thp Houfe rate on lemons, the Senate

, receding.

A compromise was reached also on

; currants.

The countervailing diAy on potatoes

was retained.

Press cloth was put on the free

list, the Senate receding.

Itevenue Producer, Say* Simmon*.

A critical study of the L'nderwoorl

Simmona tariff bill, to determine

whether It will produce enough

revenue for governmental needs, was

still under wr.y to-day. Keductlons

by the Senate have, In many Instances,

I been opposed by the House conferees

on the ground that they would cut

the revenues beyond the margin or

! safety.

j Chairman Simmons, of the Senato

| conferees, has announced that the bill

would amply meet the revenuo needs

of the nation. Some of the more im

! portant disputes, however, are on ar

ticles on which House members fear a

reduction- of rates will mean too much

loss of revenue. There was little pros

pect, when the conference was re

turned to-day, that details of the bill

could be completed before the end of

next week.

Work* of Art Free.

Supporters of tho demand for free

importation of works of art expressed

great satisfaction to-dny over the de

cision of tho conference committee to

remove all restrictions against free

; Importation. Under the present law,

; pictures and like art objects must be

' twenty ears old to come in free. The

House b'.ll removed the restriction, but

| the Senate increased its rigorous cliar

i acter by placing the age limit at fifty

| years.

Under the new agreement, all r?

i strlctlons will be removed, except that

} discretionary power would be left with

| the Secretary of the Treasury to deter

, mine the value of Importations as

works of art.

WIRELESS PHOTOGRAPHY

? Instrument Work* Only nt Night, and

CiOTfrnnirnt Ofllclnls Investigating:.

Vallejo, Cal., September 20.?A local

inventor has evolved a vHreless pho

tographic instrument which works only

at night and reffects on a mirror. It is

said, a picture of everything within

a radius of several miles. He has been

j invited by Secretary of the Navy

! Daniels to take the machine to "Wash

| ington for inspection by experts of the

I Navy Department.

The Instrument receives its imprea

[ slon from a web of wires attached to

>a tall mast. For this reason it, is

'adaptable to ships, making impossible,

j its inventor claims, night collisions,

| accidents due. to fogs and running

j afoul of Icebergs. It would be val

uable. it is claimed, for army use, in

which tho movement of an enemy at

night could bo easily followed.

A test was made recently of the in

strument hero. The night was dark,

but observers say they saw reflected

on tho machine's mirror a picture of

the district for a distance of two

inlles, saw the shipping in the vicinity

of tho Mare Island Navy-Yard, rail

way trains passing up and down the

valley and persons on the streets of the

city.

The inventor formerly was a wire

less expert in the government's em

ploy.

ABANDONS AIR

OF RESIGNATION

Confessed Slayer Assumes New

Attitude, and Now Declares

He Will Make Fight for His

Life, and Says Officials

Are Against Stone

Wall.

New York, September 20.?All tho

death certificates filed since the first

of the year, 15,000 In number, were

examined to-day to ascertain whether

they Included any papers forged by

"Father" Hans Schmidt to concnal the

murder of other persons besides Anna

Aumuller.

| Schmidt has confessed that he pre

i pared these blank certificates for the

' purpose of accounting for the death of

j persons hopelessly sick or crippled

whom he meant to kill painlessly for

j their own good. Ho denied, however,

i that he had put his plan into effect

j yet or that he had any victims besides

the girl, portions of whose body still

lie beneath the waters of the Hudson

j River.

Kind More Revolvers.

Revolvers found in the quarters of

j Schmidt and of Krne.?t A. Muret, his

dentist friend, gave the detectives to

I day additional reason to believe that

! the association between them was

; closer than they have admitted. Tho

weapons are alike In nearly every de

tail, and made by the same factory in

I Germany. The ammunition with which

I they were loaded is the same make.

Muret says ne bought his pistol

eight years ago in Germany. The po

lice believe that Schmidt got his re

volver at the same place and at about

the same time.

A hiiiidouN Air of Henlgnntlon.

Suddenly abandoning his air of

resignation and perverted martyrdom,

Hans Schmidt, the supposedly mad

priest, who confessed murdering and

dismembering Anna Aumuller, de

clared in the Tombs to-day that he

would fight for his life.

For the first time a look of terror

came Into the prisoner's eyes at the

mention of the death chair, and, while

xercising discretion, Schmidt con

fided to a fellow-prisoner:

"J will fight for my life. If Dis

trict Attorney Whitman expects to

get anything out of me he will And

himself up against a stone wall."

However, on account of Schmidt's

erratic mental condition, a sudden

change of attitude, with a revelation

of more ghastly crimes, would not sur

prise the police.

llellevcN In Euthnnanla.

Schmidt refused to-day to answer

any questions regarding the stolen

death certificates which were found in

his possession. He admitted that he

had marked certain members of the

i congregation of St. Joseph's for

I euthanasia, because ha believed they

j would be better off dead.

"I intended to help them to a bet

ter world," he said. "Many of them

? I knew would be better off In the next

world than this.

"I believe in euthanasia. I know

many people wish to die, but cannot.

This is one of the great social prob

lems.

"To help into a better world the

| incurable and those who desired to

i die, but could not, was a part of my

I general plan to benefit the world.

Denton Having Made Litt.

"For a long time I have thought

j there were too many children In the

! world and too little money, so I sold

medicine under the name of Dr.

Mctliero to reduce the birth rate and

Schmidt denied having made any

list of those whom he had selected as

victims, but said that he had in his

mind several men, women and chil

dren, and that he would soon have be

gun his work of extermination if he

had not been arrested for tho murder

Witnesses were found to-day by the

BRYAN TO LECTURE;

PAY NO ATTENTION

TO ANYCRITICISM

Profits Amounting to

About $6,500.

HE CARRIES OUT

ORIGINAL PLANS

Will Return to Platform When

ever He Deems It Desirable or

Necessary?Declares Critics

Are Either Malicious, Par

tisan, or They Have

Misinformation.

Washing-ton, September 20.?Secre

tary Bryan to-day, commenting: upon

the announced termination of his en

gagements on the Chautauqua platform,

; announced that he would continue to

lecture as Ions a-s he remained Sec

I retary of State, whenever he felt there

j was proper occasion and a desire to

I do so.

> Mr. Bryan issued this statement:

| "This evening is the last of the

? Chautauqua lecturcs for this season,

j The total income from Chautauqua

lectures this year Is a llttlo over $7.

I 000. The net receipts after taking- out

: tho necessary expenses are something

| ever $'>,500.

Only Seven Whole Daya.

"Tho number of whole week days

which have been used for the lectured

is, according to my recollection, seven.

I The remainder of tho lectures have

j been delivered at places near enough

to tills city to leave in the afternoon

sometimes as late as 3:08 o'clock.

"I would not assume that the public

was interested in these details were

it not for tho fact that the represen

! tatives of a few newspapers have re

i garded It as a matter of great lm

1 portance."

j Will Lectnre When Necessary.

When Mr. Bryan was asked If he

would lecture any more during his con

nection with the State Department, he

replied:

"I expect to lecture whenever I deem.

It desirable or necessary to do bo, and

have not in the least altered the plans

which were made at the time I as

sumed the duties of the office. The

criticism that has been directed against ?

my lecturing is no more bitter than

tho criticism I have undergone at other

times and for other things during my

connection with politics.- - ? ?

1 I "A part of this criticism Is malicious,

j a part of It is partisan, and a part of

| it Is based upon misinformation. That

which is malicious will answer for It

self, that which Is partisan will be ac

cepted as such, that which Is baaed

upon misinformation will cease when

the critics are better informed.

Xo Objection to Criticism.

"No man should enter public life If

he objects to criticism, and he cannot

stay in public lifo if ho permits the

criticisms to turn htm from doing what

\ ho thinks is right. He must decide his

duty for himself, and is answerable

to the public for any mistakes he

makes.

'?[ regard lecturing as an entirely

legitimate Held. I lectured before I

was nominated for tho presidency; I

lectured between campaigns; T shall

continue to lecture, and I shall not

believe that- any person whose opin

ion is worth having will think tho less

of me because I do so. This closes the

lecture subject for the present."
