Impeachment for Governor Sulzer are

being prepared by Senator Robert F.Wagner anr! Speaker Smith at Saratogato-night.Thoy will be presented to the Legis¬

lature. in all probability, soon after theFrawley committee report is submittednext Monday night.While Wagner and Smith declined to

outline the case, the indictments. It isbelieved, will follow very closely thisforecast:

First, that the Governor committedperjury In swearing that he had re¬ceived neither directly nor Indirectlymore than $5,240 from campaign con¬tributors.

Second, that he wrote- the Farmers'Loan and Trust Company he had au¬thorized Senator Sarecky to acceptcampaign contributions, and that Sa¬recky had deposited in that bank $12,-000 during the campaign.

Third, that the Governor used a num¬ber of concealed campaign contribu-tlons to speculate In Wall Street.

which Secretary Piatt sought to accen¬tuate to-day, that the Legislature can¬not legally institute impeachment pro¬ceedings or anything else unless theGovernor himself recommends It. Wag¬ner and Smith Bcem to be disposed togo right ahead with framing the In¬dictments. They count upon an over¬whelming approval from both Demo¬cratic and Republican members of theLegislature.The Governor appeared at the execu¬

tive chamber to-day looking morehaggard and wan than he did at the¦time the Mignon ?'Hopkins breach ofpromise r.ult was brought- He was[asked to comment upon the disclosuresmade by the Frawlr y coinmluec yes¬terday. His reply was:

"I will make no statement until 1(have the full stenographic report ofthe Frawley committee before me."Then the Governor, who spent

barely a minute and a half at the legis-lativo chamber, joined Mrs. Sulzer on atrip to Chenango County, where hoproposes to "buy a farm."Secretary Piatt, after the Governui

had departed, said:"The Governor still maintains that

the Legislature possesses no authorityto initiate impeachment or other pro¬ceedings unless the Governor speciti-cally recommends th«-m. The Constitu-Hon is perfectly plain on this point.The Governor, however, will reserveany statement he desires to make un¬til he has carefully examined the testi¬mony taken by the Frawley commit¬tee."A friend of the Governor declared to¬

night that the executive would resistwith the strength and force of the Na-tional Guard of the State any attemptto remove him from office. The friendsaid the Governor would answer histraducers at the time he deemed litand proper. It was rumored to-nightthat possibly to-morrow the Governorwould have some New York lawyers atthe Kxecutive Mansion, and that theywould discuss, and possibly outline, theGovernor's action.

to submit its report Monday evening,it doubtless will ask for further time,for the committee has opened up sev-eral subjects which have not been en¬tirely closed up.Hew O. Ft. Miller, who says he knows

Mother State Insists That Noth¬ing But Interest Be

Considered.

[Special to The Times-Dispatch.]Charleston, W. Va., August 9..In-

siKting that the United Stares SupremeCourt left only the matter of interestat issue in the debt controversy be¬tween Virginia and West Virginia, thedebt commission of the mother Statehas refused to meet a similar commis-sion from West Virginia unless thediscussion is restricted to the matterof interest involved in the debt suitor a proposition of compromise fromthe daughter State.The position taken by the two com¬

missions in an effort to reach an ami¬cable adjustment of the ante-bellumdebt is shown by the publication ofthe correspondence between tlie com¬missions, made public to-day by Chair¬man John \V. Mason, of Fairmount,after consultation with Governor Hat¬field, who insisted that the people ofthe State should be given the infor¬mation in detail.

Prliit'i|)ul l)lft|i<iitrit Of.The commission representing the

Commonwealth of Virginia takes theposition that the finding of $7,000,1100against West Virginia by the UnitedSlates Supreme Court disposes of thequestion of principal, and that the solematter to be considered is the ques-tion of interest, which the court heldopen and made 110 effort to adjudicate.This view was assumed by the Vir¬ginia commission in the initial reso¬lution adopted at a recent meeting atWashington, in which it declared"that in the conference to be heldwith the West Virginia commission,the subject for consideration and ad¬justment, as indicated by tiie court inits decision in this case, is the amountof interest which West Virginia shouldpay upon the sum ascertained by thecourt to be West Virginia's share of jthe principal of said debt."

The amount of interest averred tobe due Virginia from the DaughterState on the principal as fixed by theSupreme Court, is in excess of $26,-000.000, but the Virginia authoritieswill not demand the full and legalamount of interest. This is stated bythe Virginia commission In anotherresoluiion, saying that, "It is not thedesire of Virginia, nor was it the in¬tention of the. Supreme Court, thatAMrr.fnin should or demand '-he fullor legal amount of interest. '.>ut thatthere should be concessions made uponboth riides, such as comport with jus¬tice and the honor and dignity of thetwo Slates."The reply of the West Virginia com¬

mission to the proposition from Vir¬ginia to consider only the question ofinterest, indicates that the Panhandl*.;authorities believe the whole subjectshould be. lef" i pen to discussion, statins "TP-it In it;;, judgment the interest,if any. is not the only question, as In¬dicated by the language used by tin-Supreme .'o^it in lis onhi;i>n. whichthe Joirt commission should ( nsiuer."The cditcs K-ridence sbov« that the

HE IS COLD TOWARD WILSON

Points to Acts Tending to De-'stroy Friendship of Two .

Republics.[Special to The Tlmcs-Dispatch.l

New York. August 9..FranciscoLeon tie la Barra, Mexican ambassadorto France, who became provisionalpresident of Mexico when Diaz was de¬posed, said to-day that John IJnd.President Wilson's personnl represen¬tative, will ho shown every consider¬ation and afforded ample protection InMexico. Talk of mob violence, he said,is not to he accepted as representingthe views of the intelligent people ofMexico.

"Mexico is facing ft grave crisis,"said Mr. de la Barra, "but I know mycountrymen would be the first to re¬sent any insult that niiuht be offeredto Governor land. Ho will lnrnl inVera Cruz and travel to Mexico City bytrain unmolested. It is folly to sug¬gest that he will be subjected to anypersonal danger."Through the Foreign Office, provi¬

sional President Huertu's decision notto recognize Mr. Hind officially hasbeen transmitted to the governmentat Washington by the American em¬

bassy. Mexicans feel that It Is theirduty and not the privilege of anothernation to determine the legality of theprovisional government.WnnlK Kripnilxhlii; .Not .Iluuolnm."How can we receive President Wil¬

son's personal envoy no long as thisnation refuses to acknowledge the ex¬istence of a constitutional governmentin Mexico? Recognition, not media¬tion; friendship, not criticism; encour¬agement, not Jingoism, are the thingsneeded to avert a more serious cristabelow the Rio Grande."Although guarded In his statements.

Mr. de la Barra was not enthusiasticin his discussion of the attitude ofPresident Witaon toward Mexico.While expressing the belief that the

President has been prompted by a de¬sire to do the right thing, Mr. de laHarra pointed out how many of the

most Important steps of the govern¬ment ;it Washington had been calcu¬lated to destroy the friendly relationsexisting between the two republics."Ambassador Wilson served hifl

country ably and well," continued Mr.np la Barra. "He understood the situ¬ation in Mexico. HIh recommendationsto Washington were calculated to ro¬ut oru peace and harmony, and to end.ho civil conflict in my country."Mexicans understood A_mbassador

Wilson and had confidence In Ills in¬tegrity and honesty of purpose. Hisresignation will not Berve to make thorelations between the two countries inthis crisis more amicable. Mexico can¬not permit Its Internal policies and af¬fairs to be dictated by another govern¬ment.

"1'rovlslonal President Huerta is aman of high honor, and he is workingwith only one end >n view, the heltabili-talion of his country. There will bea constitutional election in October andilie successor to General Huerta willfind a stable government. Conditionsare improving throughout the republic,and railroad facilities are being muln-tained. Despite the civil contlict, ourmaterial prosperity Is great."

Hf l.i Out of Politics.Asked If he would enter the. contest

for the presidency, he replied:"No, I am out of politics for a\l time.

Restoration of peace is my only ambi¬tion. 1 sincerely hope that my fellowcountrymen may join in a movementI have suggested for the amalgama¬tion of several of the political partiesInto a national civic league, and sup¬port for President a candidate who willpledge himself to safeguard the suf¬frage and to give such reforms as willtend to preserve peace within our bor¬ders."

General Felix Diaz will remain inthe race for the presidency, Mr. do laBarra said, but lie was of the impres-slon that Provisional President lluertawill not sei*k to retain power after| the October elections. llo said Pr«-si-dent Taft recognized the provisionalgovernment when General Diaz, re-signed and went into exile.

"1 was then called to head the gov-eminent as provisional President," he

'said, "and there was no delay In Wash¬ington In recognizing the new govurn-ini-nt. l.egally, General Huerta occti-pies identic<tlly tho same position to-day."

Mr. de la Barra expressed regretthat Mrs. Francisco I. Madero, widowof the former President, is not in NewYork. He said !i<- would have beenpleased to have called and paid hisrespects He will remain at the HotelAstor two weeks awaiting developmerits in Mexico.
