otherwise.

but not mentioned in his statement as
brought out today, were as follows:

democratic national committee, $500, Oc

arate checks covering: these deposits and
12,000 In' cash.
The Governor' List.
Governor Sulzer's sworn list contained
Blxty-elght contributors and totaled $5,400,

The attempt to connect Governor Sulzer
with the purchase ot 200 shares of HI?
Four railroad stock October 22 was mads
through questioning Arthur A. Fuller cf
the New York Stock exchange firm of
Fuller & Gay, concerning an unnamed
account designated as "account No. COO."
Fuller refused to answer the question
and was directed to remain under sub
poena until the courts can decide If he
must answer. When leaving the stand
Itlchards hurled this question at him:
"Have you produced all your'' records
with reference to account No. 00 and that
of William Sulzer?"
,. "I have," he replied.
Melville E. Fuller, another broker, de
clined to answer any questions concern
ing his business relations with the gov.

Election Commissioner Moorhead, ens!
Ing asldo the comprehensive Interpreta
tion of the twenty-flveyear-old registra
tion clause of the election law. made by
Judge English ot the district court In
his decision In Father Williams' case,
has shifted to new ground and by his
latest pronounclamento Is disfranchising
a largo number of foreign-born voters
whose cases do not coincide exactly with
that of Rev. Mr. Williams.
To register now as a qualified voter.
a foreign-born man who does not pro
duce his naturalization papers must have
lost them, must have been naturalized
outside of Douglas county, and mint be
able to recall the circumstances of his
naturalization to bo satisfaction of Mr.
Moorhead, or,
Mr. Moorhead will write In the
column of the registration blank
headed by the question, "Qualified
voter or not?" the one word, "No."
Commissioner Assumes Control.
That Is all there Is to It, tho election
commissioner asserts and he advanced the
same argument, which In legal languaga
Is "that ho Is a Judicial officer," oefore
Judge English. Here Is what the JUdgj
said about It:
"It has been urged on behalf of the
respondent that In matters of rejlstra-
tlon the commissioner acts In a judicial
capacity, and that his decision as to the
legality of a Voter Is practically abso
lute. Tho legislature could not havo In
tended to place such absolute power In
any one man. It might lead to the pro
tection of the Illegal voter and the fraud
ulent disfranchisement ot the legal
voter."
It a foreign-born man comes to the
offlco of the election commissioner with
out his papers, and Is unable to say
that his naturalization papers are lost
and that he cannot put his hands on
them, he becomes disqualified to voto
by Mf. .-MrheuXTadiaiunjbiCAUsQ his
situation does not coinsido exactly witn
that ot Father Williams.
Lnmrunnre of the Lair.
Tho cburt with respect to this point
said: "The registration law says noth
lng about producing naturalization
papers." v
With reference to Mr. Moorhead's
changing the law's interpretation after
twenty-five years, the Judge said: "If the
legislature of 1913, when adopting the new
election commissioner law, was dissatis
fied with a construction sanctioned by
long usage and desired to limit the evi
dence to the naturalization papers appro
priate language could havo been easily
used to express that purpose."
But here Is the way the election com
missioner Is ablo to disregard the opinion
of the court and "get away with It." Ho
obeys the letter of the court order which
was drawn to fit Father Williams' cojo
alone, and. pays no attention to Judge
English's opinion, which, because It was a
test case, was drawn after several days'
consideration for the purpose of Inter
preting the law for all cases.
Prominent attorneys said yesterday the
election commissioner probably would
t away" with his plan unless some
other foreign-born voter snould again
mandamus him.
Nix Mm Like Williams.
Six foreign-born voters, whose cases
were Just like that of Father Williams,
registered yesterday afternoon without
their papers. These were: Patrick 8. Mc
Gulre, who has lived in Nebraska thirty
seven years; John Merrltt, who has lived
hero forty-two years,; August Berggren,
who has lived her thirty-five years;
Frederick Stromberg, who has lived here
sixteen years; Thomas Morrjsey, who has
lived here twenty years, and DanleJ
Keogh, 66 years of age, who has been
here one year. These men wero all dis
franchised before Judge EnglUh ren
dered his decision.
A motion for a new trial was filed In
district court yesterday by the election
commissioner for the purpose of having It
overruled that he may appeal the case to
the supreme court.
Moorliend Outlines Position.
Following Is Mr. Moorhead's state
ment as to whom he will allow to regis
ter without papers:
"In accordance with the decision of
Judge English, concerning the registra
tion of foreign-born citizens, registra
tion will he taken of all those who come
within the limits of the decls!6n. The
same facts will ofcourse be required In
the affidavit as are required by the
statutes namely the facts concerning
the dute of naturalization and the court
In which naturalized. Ir the court can
not be definitely named, then the name
of the county will be accepted, as was
dono In the case of Father Williams'
testimony concerning his naturalization.
"The date of the naturalization and the
court are required to be given by the
statutes so that an opportunity may be
given to check the registration record
and ascertain the fact from the court
In which naturalization I claimed.
If Papers Are Lost.
"Anyone who can make the necessary
affidavit will he allowed 'to register,
provided the naturalization papers have
been lost or mislaid, as In the Father
William case."
Mr. Moorhead also bars any, voter
nuturalized In Douglas county from reg
istering without documentary proof on
the ground that 'It '.a euny to secure In
that case.
Father Williams, It was said at the
commissioner's office yesterday after
noon, had not yet appeared to register,

WASHINGTON. Aug. .rresident
Wilson's action In sending John Llnd to

who declared something else must ba

Senator Clark presented n resolution
for an investigation by sonata foreign

American citizens and American property
In Mexico.
"This resolution la not introduced In a
spirit of hostility to the administration,
or of criticism of tho foreign relations
committee," doclarod the senator, "but
conditions ore growing steadily worso in
Mexico. Now wo learn that Governor
Llnd has been sent there, by President
Wilson.
"That docs not satisfy. Mr. Llnd does
not go as tho official representative ot
tho United States. Ho does not go as an
ambassador, cloaked with authority to

bo appealed to by American citizens fof

Senator Sheppard presented a summary
of tho Btrength of the constitutionalist
forcea In Mexico. Ho declared the senate
should have knowledge uf tho number ot
constitutionalist leaders, the troops thoy
could muster, Iho extent of tho territory

"It Is no purpose of this resolution to
place the responsibility for these outrages.
It Is to Obtain Information. I know there
Is a disposition at times to regard such
information as confidential. But in my
judgment that Is not tne proper courso
now, because It Is no secret that other
nations than ourselves ara Interested in
the situation. Conditions are being talked
of, not only in the senate, but elsewhere.
The conditions cannot long be borne
with by the American republic. Some
