New York, August 11.- Before a committee that is investigat
ing matters pertaining to alleged irregularities in departments of
the New York state government, evidence was produced last week
to show that Governor William Sulzer had been gambling on the
stock exchange, and with very poor success. His political enemies
are developing plans to prefer impeachment charges against the
governor regarding campaign funds.
Impeachment Proceedings Started
Albany, August Hi.- -Following the report of the Frawley in
vestigating committee of the state senate, which was received
yesterday afternoon, both houses of the legislature voted that
impeachment articles be tiled against Governor William Sulzer
charging malfeasance in office. One of the impeachment charges
relates specially to gambling on the New York Stock [exchange
with campaign funds entrusted to iiis care.
The impeachment trial will be heard by the state senate, and
the lower house of the legislature will appoint a committee to
represent the prosecution. The date for the hearing lias not
been set,
EVIrs. Sulzer Takes a Hand
Mrs. William Sulzer, wife of the governor, this evening gave
a signed statement to the Associated Press in which she says that
it was herself that did the stock-exchange gambling with campaign
funds, and that her husband knew nothing of her speculations.

Mr. Pari', he bought a car, and said: "I'll travel
slowly; these cranks for speed are fools indeed; their
conduct is unholy.” With care he went nor cared a cent
in frantic speed to revel, and people said the old mans head
was noticeably on the level. For finite a week old Parr was
meek and slow and mighty Cautious, and then ho said: W e 11
push ahead a bit or folks will josh us. ’ But carolul still ho ran
down hill and courted no disaster for one week more, and then
he tore along a little faster- A month was gone, "So help me
John,” old Parr was sadly drawling. "I don't like speed I
don't indeed—but wo are merely crawling! I didn t get this car
to fret along like this, do cl gast us! So let her rip along this
trip — the snails are whizzing past us!” He woke in bed with
bandaged head, and does and nurses handy, and ere he died he
sweetly sighed: "That auto is a dandy!" — Walt Mason.
