GO m STAND
Tiiouglil Governor Must Testi
ly in Own Defense
WITNESSES HIT HIM HARD
Morgenthau Says Governor Asked
Him to Go Easy While Peck Says
Sulzer Wanted Him to Deny Truth.
Because of the teHtlmony of Ambas
sador Henry Morgenthau and Superin
tendent of Public Works Peck at the
impeachment trial of Governor Sulztr
in Albany, N. Y., it is believed
that whatever doubt there was that
Governor Sulzer would take the stand
In his own defense has been removed.
Duncan W. Peck, state superin
tendent of public works, swore that
be gave Mr. Sulzer a $500 bill as a
campaign contribution and that the
governor advised him to tell the Kraw
ley committee that he had made no
such gift. He quoted The governor as
saying: "Do as I shall. I deny It," and
when Mr. Peck protested, "I suppose
I shall be r-nder oath," Mr. Sulzer re
plied: "That's nothing; forget it."
Mr. Peck said he could not be mis
taken as to a word of the conversation
which took place In the executive
chamber of the capitol. '
The other blow came from the prose
cution's witness, Henry Morgenthau,
who testified on Wednesday that ho
gave a contribution of $1,000. He said
with frankness on his second appear
ance that Governor Sulzer over the
long distance telephone on Sept. 2 or
Sept. 3 had asked him to "treat the
affair between us as personal." "I told
him I could not," said Mr. Morgen
thau. ( . .
He said also that the governor
begged him "if you are going to testi
fy then be easy with nie" and that he
replied he would testify to the facts.
Dwarfed by comparison with these
strange admissions was the testimony
of Richard Croker, Jr., as to a $2,000
check that he handed- to Mr. Sulzer
on Oct. 16, 1912. This check was
made payable to the order of "Cash"
at the request of Mr. Sulzer.
The candidate said, according to Mr.
Croker, who testified with reluctance,
that he needed ready money because
he was leading that night or the next
day on an upstate campaign trip. But
the check was not cashed until fifteen
days later and the man who then
turned It Into money was Frederick L.
Colwell, pictured by the Impeachment
managers as Mr. Sulzer's agent in
stock speculation. Mr. Croker said
his gift was "for campaign expenses
or anything else."
These points were scored by the
prosecution. There were two also for
the defense. One was a ruling by the
court that witnesses should be allowed
to say whether or not their contribu
tions to Mr. Sulzer were made with
out stipulation as to the purpose. The
other was a ruling somewhat akin to
this, that witnesses may tell what
their intent was at the time the gifts
were made.
Every scintilla of evidence that the
assembly managers have to offer
against William Sulzer in support of
their assertion that he is unfit to hold
office further will be spread before the
high court of impeachment.
William Sulzer will have a full op
portunity to answer them. That Is the
meaning of the decision by the court
when It was agreed by a vote of 49
to 7 that hearing of evidence on
charges concerning the acts of Sulzer
before he took office should go on and
the question of whether this evidence
should be entertained by the court
should be decided with the final dis
position of the case.
The vote indicated that Governor
Sulzer lacks thirteen votes to prevent
his conviction on the impeachment
articles, as thirty-eight votes will be
required to convict. It Is believed all
evidence will be in by Oct. 10.
FIRST LINK OF CANAL DONE
Tug Gatun Passes Through Lock
While Officials Watch.
The Atlantic ocean Is now Joined
with Gatun lake and the first link in
the all-water route across the Panama
isthmus has been completed. The tug
Gatun made the ascent from the ocean
to the lake, thus being the first vessel
to pass through a canal lock.
This event was witnessed by Colonel
George W. Goethals, the chairman of
the Panama canal commission;
I'olonel Hodges, Colonel Slehert, En
gineer Schildhauer and about '200
others.
Miraflores lake will be flooded on

National commission for the choice of
where and when the first game would
be played next month.
Mr. Hempstead selected the Tolo

National Kiugue championship and the
date he fixed as Tuesday, Oct. 7. The
second game will be played in Phila

(S INEFFICIENT
New Haven Railroad Otticials
Unsparingly Denounced
"Man failure" all along the line,
from officials and directors of the New
Haven railroad down to its trainmen,
is held by the interstate commerce
commission to have been the cause of
the Wulllngford wreck Sept. 2, in which
twenty-one were killed and thirty-five
injured.
in its report the commission blames
the crews of the wreck trains for
lapses and scores ollicers and directors
for "Inefficiency of management."
Operating olliciuls of the New Haven
and the officers and directors of the
system are grilled scathingly for pro
mulgation of regulations that were
permitted to become practically "dead
letters" and for not seeing to it per
sonally that operating conditions were
what they had directed them to be.
In use at the time of the disaster,
the report points out, were "antiquated
signals condemned by the locomotive
enginemen as well as by the public
service commission of Connecticut,"
and old wooden cars unsuited by con
struction for such traffic as they were
expected to accommodate. These were
held to be contributory reasons for
the excessive number ol casualties.
The commission demands of the
New Huven road the immediate adop
tion of "an adequate system of super
intendence and supervision which will
give those in authority definite and
positive information as to whether or
not the safety requirements and rules
of this railroad ore observed."
The report sets forth the names of
the directois, which includes many ot
the country's prominent men.
Some of these men, the commission
declared, had been considered by a
confiding public as "mapir-ians in the
art of finance and wizards In the con
struction, operation and consolidation
of great railroads. Kxperlenco has
shown that this reliance of the public
was not justified as to either finance
or safety," it concludes.
Ohio Flood Loss $163,000,000.
A total money loss of $13,000,000

Congress H:pss to Send Bill
to President This Week
LITTLE TROUBLE IN ITS PATH
Currency Proposition Likely to Cause
Considerable Discussion This Week
In Congress Several Senators Balky
Washington, Sept. 30. When the
customs houses of the country open
for business on next Monday, the new
tariff law will likely be in force. Preai
dent Wilson will have the bill in hit
hands on Friday of this week, so the
Democratic leaders plan, and will prob
ably sign It on Saturday. The house
will pass the measure today and the
senate tomorrow if plans go through
satisfactorily and there is little danget
of a breakdown.
The bill about to become a law li
variously described. Regular Re
publicans denounce it as a free trade
measure and process to fear that 11
will depress the industries of the coun
try. Progressive Republicans find
many good features in the bill. The
Democrats see the measure as a tariff
for revenue. Senator La Follette holds
that the bill is "mildly protective."
The average ad valorem rate of the
present bill is very much lower than
that of the Wilson-Gorman act. The
average rate of the latter was 39.45
per cent while the estimated rate ol
the present bill ranges from 27 to 21
per cent. The average for the pres
ent Payne-A!drlch law Is 40.12 pet
cent.
Mr. Wilson will sign the new tariff
bill under most favorable conditions
At the close of the long fight he finds
himself personally triumphant and at
the same time in the closest accord
with the party leaders. The bill has
come through with a loss of but two
Democratic votes and they were cast
chiefly on account of local reasons.
The men who made the new tariff
law, spurred on by the president,
worked from the beginning on a dis
tinct plan to reduce the high cost ot
living. They reduced duties on
practically all of the articles that
enter into the necessities of life, on
the products ot the farm as well as
upon manufactured products.
They sought consistently to shift
the burden of taxation as far as pos
sible upon the luxuries and those who
are better able to pay. They have
tried to free list raw material
wherever it could be done without
working a hardship and in that way
compensate the American manufactur
er for his losses due to the reduced
duties on the things he produces.
With an addition to the revenues
annually of $S3,000,000, as is estimated
by the treasury experts, from the op
eration of the Income tax the Demo
cratic lenders found It possible to
make much greater reduction In duties
than would otherwise have been pos
sible. The senate made 676 amendments
In the houte bill and of this nurnbet
the house conferees accepted 427 ab
solutely and 97 more with modifica
tions, leaving only 151 from which the
senate receded.
The general trend of the senate
amendments was In the direction ol
reduced duties. Expressed In percent
age the senate bill when reported re
duced duties 27.64 below the existing
law and 4.22 per cent below the house
bill ns It had come to the senate. The
result of tho conference report has
been a slight Increase of the ad
valorem rate of duty carried by the
bill, but the net result is below the
average ad valorem rate of the houso
bill.
The most important features of the
new bill are those which relate to the
free listing of wool and of sugar. Rut
for tho strong Insistence of President
Wilson it Is lik'ly that the Benate
would have restored a revenue duly
to both wool and sugar. Raw wool will
go on the free list Dec. 1 and sugar
will be free arter May 1, 1916.
Lively Currency Debate Expected.
This week Is likely to see Important
developments in regard to the banking
and currency bill.
Tho administration's advisers are
beginning to show Bigns of Impatience
over the disposition on the part of
some Democratic senators to delcy
action on this measure and the presi
dent before many days will take steps
to bring about a showdown with these
I'glslators.
The members of the senate com
mittee who are standing In the way of
hasty consideration are: Hitchcock of
Nebraska, O'Gornian of New York and
Reed of Missouri. Should they vote
with Republican members of the com
mittee on any amendment suggested
they could control the situation.
