LOSES FIRST ROUND attack made on the validity OF IMPEACHMENT. UNANIMOUS VOTE RECORDED His Counsel’s Objection to Permit, ting Four Senators to Sit as Members Overruled. Albany, N. Y.—Counsel for Wil liam Sulzer lost the first skirmish in a legal battle they begun at the sec ond session of the high court of im peachment to prevent the accused executive from coming to trial. Their objections to permitting four senators to sit as members of the court were overruled. They next attacked the validity of the impeachment with a motion to dismiss the proceedings, but failure to complete their argument when ad journment was taken until Monday precluded a decision in the matter. Meanwhile Governor Sulzer formal ly conceded that he had no right to exercise the functions of chief exe cutive pending the termination of the impeachment. This he did in a letter to Lieutenant Governor Glynn, turn ing over to the latter a request for the extradition of a prisoner and ex plaining that he had taken such ac tion because of recent decisions of the supreme court. Adjourns Till Thursday. After striving futilely from noon until 7:20 o'clock to obtain enough anti-Sulzer votes to insure the pass age of additional impeachment charg es, Majority Leader Levy moved that the assembly recess until next Thursday. The entire session of the court of impeachment was given over to legal arguments, and indications were that Monday and Tuesday would be similarly occupied, precluding the calling of witnesses until Wednes day. After the adoption of rules of pro cedure, D. Cady Herrick, chief coun sel for the governor, formally chal lenged the right of Senators Frawley, Ramsperger, Sanner and Wagner to sit as members of the court. Vote Against Sulzer Claim. Judge Cullen put the challenges to the vote of the court, with the result that with the exception of the four senators involved, who asked to be excysed from voting, the thirty-two members present unanimously decid ed against the7 counsel for the gover nor. A motion to dismiss the impeach ment precipitated the second contest. James C. Garrison, friend of the governor and his so-called graft in vestigator, who was sent to jail by the assembly to serve until the expi ration of the present session for al leged contempt of that body, engaged counsel to obtain his release, but no cction in that direction was taken.

This was said to have been the cause of the horse dis ease which ravaged the state last year about this time and which caused the death of several thousand animals. Thus far the health of hogs, cattle, horses and sheep have been uniformly good over the state, due. It is thought, to the dry weather which has pre vailed in many sections The supreme Tribe of Ben Hur has filed an application in federal court asking for a permanent injunction against the insurance code law which went into effect In July.
