SUMMARY OF THE CHARGES Diversion of Campaign Contributions for Stock Speculation Is Alleged— Story of the Executive’s Fight With Tammany. Albany, N. Y.—William Sulzer, gov ernor of New York, has been impeach ed by the lower house of the state leg islature, and will be tried by the sen ate and the circuit court of appeals, sitting together as a court of im peachment. The article of impeach ment, which were adopted by a vote of 79 to 45. charge the governor with perjury and larceny of campaign funds and with other slightly less serious of fenses. An important part of the charge is that Mr. Sulzer diverted campaign contributions to his private use and invested them in stocks. Just before the impeachment Mrs. Sulzer made a statement to the effect that she had taken part of the campaign money and bought stocks with it in Wall street. She will probably take the witness stand at the trial to tell this story. Charges Against Sulzer Stripped of their legal verbiage, the articles of impeachment against Gov ernor Sulzer are as follows: 1— That Governor Sulzer, in filing his statement of campaign expenses, set forth that his entire receipts were $5,460 and his expenditures $7,724; that this statement "was false and was intended by him to be false;" that his list of receipts failed to include 11 specific contributions, ranging in amount front $100 to $2,500. 2— That Governor Sulzer attached to his statement of campaign expenses an affidavit declaring that the state ment was “a full and detailed state ment of all moneys received or con tributed or expended by him directly or indirectly.” That this affidavit "was i-'•--——i - t Governor Sulzer. false and was corruptly made by him," and that he was “guilty of willful and corrupt perjury.” 3—That Governor Sulzer “was guilty of mal and corrupt conduct in his of fice as governor and was guilty of bribing witnesses.” The specific charge is that while the Frawley committee was investigating the governor’s cam paign accounts he “fraudulently in duced" three witnesses (his campaign manager, a personal friend, and a stock broker) “to withhold their testi mony from said committee." S 4— mat the governor was guilty of “suppressing evidence” in violation of the state penal law. The specific charge is that he “practiced deceit and fraud and used threats and menaces with intent to prevent the Frawley commit tee from procuring the attendance and testimony of certain witnesses.” 5— That the governor was guilty of "preventing and dissuading a witness from attending under a subpoena" the sessions of the Frawley committee. The w itness referred to is Frederick L. Colwell, alleged to have acted as Sul zer's agent in certain stock transac tions. 6— That prior to his election the governor appropriated campaign con tributions to his own use, “and used the same, or a large part thereof, in speculating in stocks * . . . and thereby stole such checks and was guilty of larceny.” 7— That Governor Sulzer promised and threatened to use the authority and influence of his office for the pur pose of afTecting the vote or political action of certain public officers, includ ing two assemblymen. 8— That he “corruptly used his authority as governor to affect the prices of securities on the New York stock exchange, in some of which he w as speculating.” How It All Started. When Governor Sulzer, the “peo ples governor,” and the “poor man's friend,” refused to do the-bidding of Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall, the most remarkable political drama New York state had ever seen was begun. From that very moment Tammany Hall carried out a steady and con sistent program of warfare against Sulzer and all things Sulzer. The gov ernor replied in kind, as well as he could. A Tammanyized legislature in stituted an "investigation” of Sulzer, and Sulzer reciprocated with an "in vestigation” of some Tammany-con trolled state department. What was it all about? Direct pri maries, mainly. Also about appoint ments. Boss Murphy sought to have certain organization men appointed tc office. Sulzer declined to appoint them although he had been something of an organization man himself for a great many years, and immediately after his election to the governorship had been intimate with Murphy, so intimate that Mr. and Mrs. Murphy were welcome at the “People’s House,” as Governor Sul zer asserted himself in an interview. Sulzer may have told the truth when he said his life was in danger. He declared, after his break with Tam many Hall, that he had employed guards to protect him against possible assassination. Attack after attack, mostly traceable to political enemies, was made on Sulzer. He was accused of perjury, the alleged offense having been committed, according to his ac cuser, in 1890. That accusation didn't seem to have much effect in the way of ruining Sulzer, so suit was filed in Philadelphia by a young woman of the name of Mignon (Polly) Hopkins, charging Sulzer with breach of promise. This action, Sulzer said also, was a move on the part of his political enemies. Miss Hopkins asked $30,000 damages for her wounded heart. Sulzer admitted hav ing known Miss Hopkins some years ago, but denied that he had ever pro posed marriage to her. Row Over Direct Primaries. When Sulzer promised real direct primaries to the people of New York, he evidently meant what he said. When he went into office he made it his business to start legislation for di rect primaries on its way. He dis covered, however, that he and his po litical associates had very different ideas of the kind of direct primaries New York wanted. A bill was Intro duced at the instigation of Sulzer, but before it was voted upon another di rect primary bill, which Sulzer char acterized a "fraud upon the" people,” was introduced in both branches of the legislature and passed. Governor Sul zer vetoed it, and then called upon the legislators to pass his bill. The assembly and then the senate killed the Sulzer bill, amid scenes such as the senate and assembly chambers had never before seen. There were shouts of rage and shakings of fists in the di rection of the capitol. There were cheers and shouts when it was an nounced that the bills had been killed. Sulzer then started a campaign to obtain direct primaries. He enlisted many well known men in Tiis cause, and called the legislature in extraor dinary session. It had then become a case of open warfare. His Campaign Fund Investigated. The governor instigated investiga tions of several state departments, and then Tammany retaliated in kind with an investigation of Sulzer's campaign fund by a legislative committee. Sen ator Frawley, a Tammany chieftain, was the chairman of the committee and it commenced its sittings in Al bany. It was intimated that Sulzer had received checks for his campaign fund which he had not listed In his sworn statement, a misdemeanor un der the laws of New York state. Two checks were introduced into the evi dence. One was for $2,500 from Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the bankers, and endorsed "Mr. Schiff's contribution to the Sul zer campaign.” The other check was for $500 and was signed by Abram I. Elkus, a prominent New York city law yer. It was alleged by the Frawley commjttee that neither of these checks appeared in Sulzer's campaign list. At a later session of the Frawley committee, held in New York, it de veloped that Sulzer had owed the stock brokerage firm of Harris & Fuller $48, 599.38 on January 1, 1912, when Sul zer was in congress. According to testimony and evidence offered, Sulzer had been a steady loser in the stock market. The brokers to whom he owed money dunned him for payment, ac cording to the testimony, and Sulzer was finally rescued by his business partner, ex-Governor A. E. Spriggs, of Montana, who paid $5,000, and Louis h- Josephthal of New York, who, on July 19 last, paid $26,749.21. ii aiso aeveiopea Deiore me com mittee that Sulzer had traded with Boyer, Griswold & Co. Charles H. Reynolds, formerly cashier for the firm, testified that on October 16 last, Frederick L. Colwell, whom he under stood to be an agent for Sulzer, had bought 200 shares of Big Four for $12, 025. The stock was paid for the same day with eight checks and $7,125 in cash. One check given in payment for the stock was a campaign contribution. The Frawley committee alleged that the seven other checks were also cam paign contributions, and asserted that this would be proved. Other Governors Impeached. Seven other governors in the United States have faced impeachment pro ceedings. These men and the results that followed were: Charles Robinson, Kansas. 1862, ac quitted. Harrison Reed, Florida, 1868, charges dropped. William W. Holden, North Carolina, 1870, removed. Powell Clayton, Arkansas, 1871, charges dropped. David Butler, Nebraska, 1871, re moved. Henry C. Warmoth, Louisiana, 1872, term expired and proceedings dropped. Adelbert Ames, Mississippi, 1876, re signed. How Much Better Today.

First Condition of Success. Here is the prime condition of suc cess, the great secret—concentrate your energy, thought, and capital ex clusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun on one line, resolve to fight it 'out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machin ery, and know the most about it Finally, do not be impatient, for, as Emerson says, "No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.’1 —Andrew Carnegie. Why Beekeeper* Beat Pan*. Many beekeepers beat tin pans at swarming time because they think it makes the bees settle down, but a con tributor to Bee Culture says that this practice is merely a relic of a forgot ten English law wjiich required the beekeeper to give notice in this r;ay that his bees were swarming and that he was entitled to follow them. If he lost sight of them after giving this warning, the bees became the proper ty of the person on whose land they alighted. WILL BEAO RECESS CONGRESS TO STICK TILL SNOW FLIES IF NECESSARY. SENATE CAUCUS SU DECREES Attitude of Republicans Forces Demo crats to Make This Decision— President Opposes Delay. Washington.—Congress will remain la session “until snow flies” and if necessary prolong the extra session until the regular term begins in De cember to dispose of tariff and cur rency legislation. This was the de cision of the democratic caucus of the senate which adopted a resolution declaring “that congress should pro ceed to consider and determine legis lation concerning currency and bank ing immediately following the pass age of the pending tariff bill.” The decision to keep at work until the program outlined by President Wilson has been disposed of came after a motion offered by Senator Lewis of Illinois that a recess be taken following the passage of the tariff bill had been* withdrawn for lack of support. Afraid of the Republicans. Though there were some democratic senators who favored a recess, the events in the senate, which have showed the purpose of the repub licans to debate tjie tariff at length, has served to convince the majority that any recess was out of the ques tion. Determination to take up cur rency legislation did not carry with it approval of any policy or commit the party to any particular currency bill. Senator Owen, chairman of the banking currency committee, offered the original resolution. This directed that the senate take up for considera tion the Glass-Owen bill now in cau cus in the house. Considerable discus sion followed the introduction of this, and several amendments were offered, the resolution finally adopted being a compromise effort which would not commit the senate democrats to any I set currency policy. Most of the discussion related to the currency resolution. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, a member of the banking and currency committee, who was opposed to the enactment of such legislation at this time and not in harmony with the pending currency bill, vigorously objected to any action that would commit the democrats to a definite policy. “Wo determined to take up cur rency legislation at this session,” said Hitchcock after the caucus, “but we are left free insofar as any par ticular bill is concerned.” Industrials Held in Check. Minot, N. D.—Plans of industrial workers of the world to hold another street meeting were upset when a heavy rain storm broke over the city, dispersing the crowds that had gath ered in the downtown streets. Every police officer in the city, together with more than 100 special officers, are guarding the jails and the tem porary pen constructed yesterday to house the overflow of prisoners, and will resort to firearms if an attempt at jail delivery is made. Ruraon were rife that such an attempt has been planned. The thirty prisoners in the “bull pen” and open enclosure sweltered in the excessive heat dur ing the day, but found relief in the downpour of rain which flooded the place. Rumors that leaders of the industrial workers had made pro posals to the authorities for a peaceable settlement of the trouble could not be confirmed. Police Use Clubs .Freely. Londonderry, Ireland.—The police again were constantly employed in suppressing street fighting between nationalists and orangemen. Numer ous charges were made by the police, who used ther clubs freely. An eld erly man named Armstrong was shot dead during the fighting, which be gan at a political celebration. / —.. . „ Bridge Nearly Completed.

Omaha,—The continued drouth and warm weather has seriously damaged the corn crop in many parts of the state, according to Prof. C. W. Pugs ley, head of the Extension Department of the State University. Under pres ent condition^, much of the corn can be saved by feeding if proper atten tion is given and the corn is not ne-, glected. Reports which have come to the Ex tension Department indicate that the damaged sections are in every part of the state though the southern part is nore affected than other sections. Re quests have been pouring in to Prof. Pugsley, asking suggestions as to the best method of getting the most out of the corn crop. Realizing that the condition is gen eral, Pugsley has requested the Bur eau of Publicity to co-operate with the Extension Department and the news papers of the state in disseminating news relative to the condition. “Ne braska is not affected as much as other states” says Professor Pugsley. “However, that does not prevent us getting as much out of the corn crop as is possible. Generally speaking, Nebraska has been fortunate in her crops this year, especially small grain. But the corn crop has been affected and now it is up to us to get all we can out of the crop. Most of the queries are. “How is it possible to get the most feed out of the corn crop?” By properly handling it is often easy to get from many fields sufficient feed to carry the stock on the farm through winter. Pugsley suggests three ways. One way is to let the corn plant stand in the field and then pasturing in the ; winter. Pugsley characterizes this as | the poorest method as often times ! much of the dried-up portions will i blow away, little feeding value remain i ing. Another and better method is to make fodder of the corn by cutting at the proper time. In this way it is possible to save much feed from a field which would otherwise yield very little. Many prefer to shred the corn, the claim being that this enchances the feeding value of the yield. Profes sor Lee of the Department, says the best method is to put as much corn as possible into a silo. Prof. Lee is author ity for the statement that one-half more cattle can be wintered on any field of corn if that corn is put into a silo instead of being cut for fodder. “If you have a silo, by all menas fill It." is the advice from the Exten sion Department. In this emergency, 1 it is not suggested that expensive si- j los be erected. However, Professor i Chase of the University says a silo | may be built for the purpose of saving : injured corn by a small outlay of ; money. Chase states that a wooden j silo holding 80 tons, may be built for ! about $120. and will last several years. Also that the same sized silo may be built in the ground at a cost of from i $16 to $25. Now is the time to get the most out ■ of the corn crop. In some sections, new is the time to put the corn in silo . or cut it for fodder. In other sections, it can be left for several weeks, unless j weather conditions become very se- i vere. As long as the corn is growing fairly well, it is better to leave it in the field, but in case hot, dry weather continues and th^ corn burns, it is better to cut it for feed. If a silo is j to be built, no time is to be lost. Thinks Parole Law of Benefit. Lincoln.—Secretary J. A. Piper of the state Prison board is of the opin ion that the general public is not fully aware of the good results which are 1 being brought about by the system of paroling prisoners of the state peni tentiary, particularly as cases where a man fails to live up to the trust placed in him receives public men tion while those who make good re ceive little, if any mention. As an illustraion of what the law is doing he recits the following: On January 1, 1912, “Richard Roe" was paroled to a farmer in the north ern part of the state, where he was to receive $25 per month, besides his board and washing. His first term expired the fourth of this month and he has received his final discharge. He lost no time from work during these nineteen months and received over $475, in cash. For clothing and the necessaries of life he spent about $10 per month, leaving an actual cash balance of $285. Since the parole law went into ef fect 210 prisoners hav; been paroled. A large number of these have received their final discharges, a few have been returned to the penitentiary and about ninety are still on parole. Not only has the law been a great benefit in the reformation of these men, but a great eaving in expense to the state of Nebraska, having reduced the popu lation of our state penitentiary from ,470 on the date of the going into effect of this new law to 356 at the present time. Ship Early to Avoid Car Shortage. Early orders to move range stock into Omaha and other river markets are being received by the railroads this week. In a few weeks the busi ness will be heavy and it is probable that several of the roads that carry the bulk of the business will experi ence car shortage.. Those shippers in Wyoming and the Dakotas, who have been having ideal weather con ditions, are shipping their stock as soon as possible in order to avoid any possible shortage. Some of the sellers hold their stock until later. Consolidate Three Clubs. Fremont, Neb.—A meeting of the members of the Commercial club. Ad club and Merchants' club committee appointed to draft by-laws qnd a con stitution for the proposed new greater Fremont Commercial club, to embody the three other organizations, was held. The question of membership fee was discussed at length. It will be either $5 or $10 with indications that most of the members will support the larger amount. The consolidation of the three clubs will be effected within a month. Your Liver Is Clogged Up That’s Why You’re Tired-Out —Have No Appetite.

An old resident of Heizer, Kan, speaking of the early days on the Kan sas plains, writes: “On one trip that we took after buffalo hides we had with us an Englishman fresh from London. The main herd of buffalo had just passed through and as the hunt ers had been after their hides, every where on highland and lowland were the skinned carcasss of buffalo. The Englishman was amazed at the waste of meat. Finally, seeing a small herd of old bulls traveling along, he arose to his feet and. taking off his hat. said: “Boys, this is awful! 1 should think that the living bt^pTalo would la ment to see their comrades lying thus!” ——— " !'
