THE B - VOLUME 11. NUMBER 143, FLAYS SULZER IN CLOSING SPEECH Edgar T. Brackett Sums up Case For | Prosecution—Decision Is Now Up To The Impeachment Court —— “:ATTEMPTB T0 ‘GET’ COURT” Vitriolic Attack On Empire State Executive Marks Final Stage In Albany Trial Albany, N. Y., Oct. 11.—The trial ot William . Sulzer,” the impeached gov- ernor of New York, was brought up to the stage of the balloting of the judges by former. State Senator Ed- gar T. Brackett, who closed the case for the board of impeachment man- agers with a vitriolic speech. In the -course of it he asserted that former State Senator Stephen'J. Stil- well, who is now serving a.term in Sing Sing prison as a bartc~sr of his legislative vote and influence, “might have sat at the feet of Governo. Sul- zer and learned crime.” “And this is the Pharisee,” he said, “who, pointing to the width of his phylactery, in proof of his own virtue, demanded that Stilwell resign—Stil- well, who, if.all charges against him were true, and more, could still have sat at the feet of this man and learned crime, even as Saul sat at the feet o! Gamaliel and learned all the wisdom of the ancient Jews.” From the beginning of the impeach ment proceedings Mr. Brackett de- clared there had been a persistent and studied attempt to terrorize the mem- bers of the impeachment court and every person associated with the prosecution. Uses Demagogue’s Means. “Every means known to the dema- Bogue has attempted to accomplish it,” he sald.. URolitical extinction has thréatened {hose bold enough to urge that it might be well to have an or- derly investigation of the matters charged against this man. “Counsel have been warned that their appearance ‘for the people here would result_in savage ntm:ku_u)an them.” We have witnedsed thie inae: cency—for I think--it- can_be called nothing less--of publie;- meetings called to overawe your judgmernt and to give you instructions how to decide this case before a single:'werd of the sworn testimony has been given to you. “In season and out it Has been preached -that justice would not be|” done here, when- justice was the last thing desired, by the preachers.” Mr. Brackett launched into a dis- cussion of the evidence supporting the accusations in the fourth of the arti- cles of impeachment charging that Governor Sulzer * sought to prevent testimony before the Frawley com. mittee. The attorney held that the-article ‘was broad enough to include the al- leged attempt of the governor to dis: suade Henry Morgenthau from testi- fying in regard to his $1,000 campaign contribution.

Work will start next Monday-on what will be one of Bemidji’s most handsome blocks, when several of the old wooden structures on Beltrami avenue, between Sec- ond and Third streets are moved and a two story building erected in their stead. The buildings which will be mov- ed away are the ones formerly oc- cupied by Charles Cummer as a jewelery store and the Anderson em- ployment agency, and the one now being used by Marion Hazen as a saloon. Contractor Jackson of this city will have charge of the erection of the new building which will have a forty foot frontage and be twenty- five feet deep. Levy Price has been given the contract for the removal of the old buildings. The cost of the new building will be approximately $8,000. John Gibbons, attorney, is the owner of the property and be- cause of his confidence in.the future of Bemidji has he. decided, to. build the new block It is probable that the second’ story of the new block will be used | as law offices by John Gibbons, P. J. Russell and A. A, Andrews. The man.floor will be occupled by the Haxen sal on, and an offico for the ‘Berman Insurance agency provided. .

YESTERDAY'S SCORE 6 TO 5 Philadelphia, Oct. 11—But' one victory stands between the Phlla- delphia Athletics and the - world’s baseball championship, for the Mack- men ' defeated the New York Glants in the fourth game: of.the series. Before the con- test was clinched- 20,000 Quaker City fans suffered a perfod of anx- fous suspénse thit will keep = the Glants’ batting green in their mem- ory for some seasons. The game effort of New York to overtake ‘their] e closing innings c‘hnnged i—h}mexiow u( the battle, lifting d to be’ a.- one-sided /Chiet Bender held the Glnnu run- less for six innings, while his team- mates, by pile-driving hits, scored six runs at the expense of Demaree and Marquard, and already the fans were exulting in the downfall ‘of New York, and Bender, confident in Philadelphia’s big league team, wasi pitching consistent ball. Suddenly the Giants transformed from hitless welklhlga ‘fnto real GlQn.u. who hamméred the Indian i twirler's of- ferings to all parts of the park. It was in the “lucky seventh,” and. be- fore the recovery of the Athletics three Giants had cross ed the plate. The fusillade .continued into the eighth, two more scoring and the team, a few moments before appar- ently outclassed, was battering down ‘the last defense of the Mack- ‘men. Merkle atlll limping from his in- Jured ankle, was directly responsible for breaking through the coat of whitewash Bender was applying. With Burns and Murray -on second and third, the result of two singles and a double steal brilliantly execut- ed, Merkle caught one of Bender’s low balla® and lifted it far out in- to left center beyond Oldring and Strunk. With a mighty bound the sphere hopped ‘the fence into the bleachers, and amid the frenzied outburst of the New Yoryk contin- gent, Merkle trotted home after his two teamates, with the third home of the series. Herzog’s First Hit Spurred on by Merkle’s example Herzog opened the eighth with his first hit of the series, only to be forc- ed by Doyle, who was similarly elim- inated by Fletcher. Burn’s double, scoring: Fletcher, and Shafer’s triple, tallying Burns, caused New York rooters to go fair- ly wild. Murray was thrown out.at first, retiring side.

Only Twenty Six Conviotions &w Been Seoured In Nfiml County During Last Yeu—Good Resord TRAPPING SEASON OPENS DEC. 1 That Turtle River Lake Was Stocked Two Years Ago During the past year, ‘or more cor- frectly speaking, since the first. of the year but 26 convictions for viola- tions of the game and fish laws in Minnesota have been secured Inso- far as Beltram! county {s concerned. These rlgurel were given out by S. C. Balley, game warden inspector, this morning. This number of con- victions includés but ome case of moose having been killed out of sea- son, illegal partridge hunting and netting fish. For a county the size of Beltrami the record for the past year is con- sidered as being exceedingly en- couraging and shows that farmers, homesteaders, hunters and sports- men are uniting in their endeavors to keep violations of the game laws as rare as possible. Returns From Trip Inspector Bailey has. just returned from a trip to the Iron Range where during the past few months game law.violations have been numerous. The reason given for this {s because of the dismissal of George Wood, as warden early in the summer and the country there being without a war- den for several months. At the pre-- sent time the gun clubs of the vari- our range towns, lneh:dlng Hibbing Virginla and Eveleth are cooperat- ing with the newly appointed -war- dens and the violafiohs are expegted 0 be done away with in the future. Thh agtion op. the part of the. gun olubs 18 duvm e on; “fhade by Mr. againit Wardén ‘Wood: which 184 to his .dilll llll Lake Is Btocked Farmers llving in ‘the vicinity of Tuftle River Lake have for some time ‘been.in dispute as to whether the-lake should be stocked, some feeling that it should ‘be and others maintaining that it should not. The argument was ended yesterday when Executive Agent Rider issued infor- mation saying that two years .ago the lake was stocked when two cans of pike fry was placed in it by A. 0. Johnson, then a store keeper there. This fact makes it unlawfnl to sell pike taken from Turtle Lake River. Six Wardens In St. Louis During the past few months the game and fish commission has been much criticised for the number of game wardens kept on a salary basis in southern Minnesota where it is claimed they are not needed. The facts as shown by the game and tish commission furnish the information that there are only a few wardens in the southern part of Minnesota and each of. those has a - territory comprising at least five counties. Six paid wardens are maintained in St. Louis, more than twice as many as in any other county of the state. The size of the county and the num- 'ber of the law violating element are given as reasons in explaining this fact. Can Trap After Deo. 1. Different than former years the trapping season this year will ~open December 1. instead of November 15. This is true not withstanding that game 1aws as sent out by the com- mission announce the opening date at November 15. This was error on the part of the printer. e KRR KRR AR KK KK x .
