- _Louis A, Sarecky, Gov. Sulzer’s Form- VOLUME 11. NUMBER 141 DESTROYED ALL CAMPAIGN DATA er Secretary Has No Records Of _ Donations Made Party SAYS NOT HIS WAY OF DOING Deelares He Did Not Threaten To Brand As Rebels Democrat Re- fusing To Support Currency Albany, N. Y, Oct. 9.—Louis A. Sarecky, formerly Governor Sulzer’sl campaign secretary, under cross-ex- amination at the impeachment trial, toM how he had destroyed practically all of the check books, check stubs and memoranda in connection with contributions to the governor’s cam- paign fund, which were in his posses- sion. He also admitted omitting the com- tributions of prominent brewers from the campaign statement, which he said he prepared and which the gov- ernor swore to and filed with the sec- retary of state. The cross-examination of Sarecky was searching—an inquiry into ,the most minute details of his connection with the impeached executive and of his handling of the Sulzer campaign funds. Sarecky declared he had no bank account in which he placed campaign contributions, except that in the Mu- tual Alliance Trust company in New York. Counsel for the board of managers intimated that they might take some action against Sarecky for his-technic- al forgery of the governor's mame to certain checks and letters. But Sulzer never has objected to Sargcky signing checks on the account, s9 frignds. of the former secretary made light of the velled threat of the counsél for the hoard. Testifying Tuesday Sarecky said that he was not a naturalized citizen Now, however, he stated that his f ther had been naturalized severa years ago and if this proves to be the case of course Sarecky is a citizen.

The recent reduction in Minneso- ta rates from 3c to 2c¢ per mile neces- ‘|sitated an immense amount of work by the rate department. The people in this department have been work- ing night and day to get the new schedules ready so that the public could profit by them. ‘When rates are chapged in one state, the through°rate between a point in that state to a point in an adjoining state cannot be changed by. the railroads until permission is granted by the Interstate Commis- sion. The Interstate Commission has granted the Soo Line = permission to sell tickets on the above basis.

Gemmel, general manager of the Minnesota and Internationat railroad company, and Reed Murray, soil expert of the Northern Pacific were in Bemidji yesterday morning enroute to International Falls, where it is believed they will com- plete plans for the erection of a dem- onstration farm' on the company land. For some time the railroad officials have contemplated tne placing of a farm of such a nature at Internation- al Falls. ‘People of the border city are much interested in the propositiom and believe that if the farm is placed there that it will have much to do in. furthering the agricultural pos- sibilities, and would cause them to become better known at a much shorter length of time than other- wise.
