He gaid that the reason was fhat he did not wai to drag his wife ifio the sit- pation, and put her on ihe stand.” Action of Defiense a Surprise, The sudden anpouncement that the case for the defense was closed, which came late in the afternoon session, cre- ated a profound sensation in the court- room. Many had confidently expected that both the accused executive and his wife would take the stand. Only a ys after the trial began, Gov- ernor Sulzer told newspapermen that he would positively appear in his own behaif. He 'said that at that time he wouid tell “an astounding story” that id force Charles F. Murphy to he stand in his defense also. Up until a few days ago it was learned from authorilative sources tonight, the governor was still insistent be allowed to tell his story, but he fin_ |lly yielded, it was said, to the advice of his attorneys. In preparing for this story as well as *hat exp »d from Mrs. Sulzer, coun- sel for the impeachment managers had in reserve half a dozen more witnesses whom they had ea,.’~*ad to put on in rebuttal. Mrs. Sulzer, . — anticipated, would take the blame for the govern- or's stock specuiation in Wall street which the articles of impeachment charge he conducted with unreported campaign funds Mrs. Sulzer Had No Account. Two of these witnesses were called efore court adjourned today, but Judge Cullen excluded their testimony. They were George W. Egbert, a bank examiner, in charge of the books of the now defunct Carnegie Trust com- pany, and James C. Miller, an ofSelal of the Fifth Avenue bank of New York. Bgbert was ready to give evi- dence, Attorney Kretzel said, . that would trovert the testimony thai Mrs. S r had an account in the Car. negie Trust company or that the com- pany had loaned the governor money on securities owned by her and de- pdkited in that institution. By Mr. Miller, Mr. Kretzel continued, the managers proposed to show that Mrs. Sulzer had an account in the Fifth Avenue bank “during the cam- paign of * He learned later, out of court, Mre, Sulzer's bank ac- count in the Fifth Avenue institution totalled “about $200 eariy In October, 1912, and that it had increased to more than $4.000 by the end of the succeed- ing month Graft Testimony Excluded. tonight that the | that he | slips and all receipted bills. He said he could not throw any light on the reasons why contributions by promin- ent brewers and the $2,500 donation by Jacob H. Schiff, a New York financier, had not been accounted for in the pub- lic statement. Campaign Money to Settle a Judg- | ment. | sarecky declared he had received and deposited in the Mutual Alliance Trust company to his own account, | about $12,500 of the Sulzer contribu- | tions. Of this amount he accounted for the expenditure of $7,724. Pressed for an e anation of the disposition of the balance, he said he had paid be- tween §$800 and $900 to settle a judg- ment obtained against Sulzer by “Fred Hastings and his father of Seattie, Wash.” He said he had ad- { vised the governor that this claim had been settied out of campaign contri- butions before the campaign statement was flled. Besides this amount the witness said he had spent approximately $750 for mailing “Sulzer’'s short speeches,” throughout the: United States. In spite of continued questioning Sarecky sald he was “utterly unable” to account for additional expenditures. He denied all knowledge of an alleg- ed $2,600 contribution by the late { Charles Kohler, a wealthy New Yorlt no manufacturer and race horse A letter to Mr. Kohler thank- r all you have done,” and William Sul: ” was placed in evidence. The contribution had not been mentioned previously. Suizer Kept No Book Accounts.

In response .io guestions by one of SRl w.u, Sarecky admitied that he had before him all his deposit siips, cancelied checks, stubs and receipted bills when he made up the governors campaign statement. Bought Clothes With $60 Balance. To a query by another senator wit- ness answered that when the was over there was only $50 left in his Mutual Alliance Trust company ac- count. “The governor said to me, ‘Buy yourself a suit of clothes with it,’” said the witness. The only testimony the defence today was by Hugh J. | Rellly ,a contractor for the Cuban government, that he had loaned Gov- ernor Sulzer $26,000, and by John N. Carlisle, state highway commissioner for New York, who identifled a docu- ment in which he had recommended | the passage of a legislative bill which the governor signed. This was the bill of Assemblyman Prirne in respect to !Wh]cl’L it was alleged in the impeach- | ment charges, the 'governor bartered his political infiuence. To Begin Summing Up Today.

West Suffield Man Injured, But Twe Women Escape. Poquonnock, Conn., Oct. 8.—William J. Barnett of West Suffield and Misses Nora and Rachel Farnam of this place had a remarkable escape from death today when the autemobile in which they were riding plunged over the iron guard rail on the Poquonnock bridge over the Farmington river, turned a complete somersauit in the air and landed in the water thirty feet below. Barnett was the only one to receive injuries of consequence. He was taken to St. Francis' hospital in Hartford with a broken leg and possible inter- nal injuries. The Misses Farnam were dazed for a time, but later were able -to reach shore in safety. The water was only a few feet deep at the place where the auto struck. The accident occurred about 9 o'clock. Barnett was at the wheel and he was driving to a nearby house to get a young lady to go to a dance. The auto approached the bridge at a fast rate of speed, it is said. Ome of the girls became frightened when she saw a pile of lumber at one side of the bridge and she grabbed Barnett's arm in an endeavor to steer out of the supposed danger. Barnett lost control of the machine for an instant, and a second later the auto had toppled over the railing and made its wild plunge. That all were not killed i= considered miraculous. SPANIARDS MASSACRED BY THE MEXICAN REBELS. Unconfirmed Roport7; That Effect Comes from Torreon. Mexico City, Oct. 8—With the cap- ture of Torreon by the rebels, rumeors became current today of a massacre of Spaniards which, if confirmed,would approach the horror of the massacre of Chinese in the same city during the Magdero revolution in 1914. No confirmation could be obtained of these rumors, although some details were Tecei of the federal evacua- tion. It is estimated that there are between sixty and a bundred Span- iards in the city of Torreon, and refu- gees who have been in touch with the rebels in that district declare that it has been a common boast that they would slaughter the Spaniards if they succeeded in capturing the town. The Spanish minister to Mexico, Senor Cologan y Cologan, was without information tonight further than the reports, but was greatly concerned. He held a long conference with the Amer- ican charge, Nelson O’Shaughnessy, and the latter made an appointment with the Mexican foreign minister. The American charge is convinced of the truth of the capture of the city and has so notified Washington. FLAW IN TARIFF ACT ALREADY DISCOVERED. Congress to Be Asked to Repeal Five Per Cent. Clause. Washington, Oct. 8—If the consent of Representative Underwood and other house leaders can be secured tomorrow a Jjoint resolution will be passed through congress within a few days repealing that portion of the new {ariff law authorizing a five per cent. tariff rebate on goods brought to this country in American ships. The decision to ask for the repeal of this clause was reached by admin- istration officials today after experts of the state and treasury departments | had decided that to carry out its exact terms would mean a reduction of five per cent. in tariff on goods from prac- tically all of the chief exporting coun- tries except Brazil, France and Russia. After a conference with President Wil- son, in which the latter gave his en- dorsement to the pian, Solicitor John W. Folk of the state department took up with congressional leaders tonight the plan to have .the objectionable clause climinated from the tariff law, COMPROMISE LIKELY ON ENGINEERS' RULES i A Meodified Set of Rules in Process of Drafting. New Haven, Conn.. Oct. 8.—While no official statements have been issued, the belief is now general that a com- promise will be effected between the New Haven road and its engineers and flremen in the controversy over senior- ity rules. It is said, and the state- ment has not been denied, that a mod- ified set of rules, agreeable to both parties, is now being drafted. Daily conferences are being held.

A HARDSHIP ON BANKS Also Declared to Be An Equally Un- wi Makes Defense of the Administration Hardship on Public—MacRae Boston, Qct. 8.—The bankers of the United States again today declared their opposition to the proposed federal reserve plan of reform in the currency and banking system. + With only one dissenting voice on the final vote, more than 2,000 bankers from all sections of the country gath- ered at the first day's sesslons of the annual convention of the American Bankers’ association, ratifled the action of the Chicago conference of bankers in demanding amendments to the fed- eral reserve aci, now pending in con- gress. The!financiers also approved the work of their own currency commis- sion, which earlier in the day had re- ported the system of governmental control proposed in the Glass-Owen bill to be socialistic and imposirg “unw'se hardships upon the Panks, and equally unwise hardships on the general pub- lie.” MacRae Defends Administration. The resolutions in which this ratifi- cation and approval were contained, also included commendation of “the president, the secretary of the treas- ury and congress for their efforts to create in this couniry an elastic as well as safe currency,” and pledged them “hearty support for the enact- ment of proper legisiation to that end.” Acting President Artbur Reymoids of Des Moines in his annual report had criticized the currency bill, and former Congressman Ebenezer J, Hill of Nor- walk, Conn., had attacked the good faith of the administration and intro- duced resolutions against the bill, when ex-Congresaman MacRae took the floor. His attempted defense of the govern- ment was treated with derision. Dele- gates tried to howl him down with cries of “No. no—Question! Question!'™ Mr. MacRae stood his ground and ask- ed for a hearing, saying: “I am a banker myself, but I am nn- willing to sanction the Ilanguage of Chairman Hepburn of the currency commission when he charged the pres- ident and congress of this republic with being a pack of socialists. Bankers Should Control Currency. “Don’t sidesiep the 1ssue. The ques- tion really at stake in the currency bill is this: ‘Shall the bankers of the Unit- ed States controi the currency of the country, or shall the government of the United States control it?"” From hundreds of voices thers came a.reply to the guestion: “We should! We should!” Congrasdsman MacRae then exclaim- ed: “Yes; in just the same way every criminal would like the right to be the judge of his own offense, so that he could deliver a verdict of ‘Not guil- ty.’” Some hissing was heard as Mr. MacRae finished. Ex-Congressman Hill Attacks Bill. Ex-Congressman Hill, introducing the resolutions, had characterized the bill as it now stands as “providing for a legalized government combination and monopoly as a substitute for the in- dividual competitive enterprise of 25,- 000 independent banks, organized under the existing laws of the states and pa- tion, and in which billions of dollars of the people’s money have been in- vested in good faith.” He said the recommendation of the Chicago conference should be follow- ed, Former Congressman O’Neill shortly afterward presented his amendment of thanks to the president and congress. “l want an amendment to the Glass bill,” he said. “Don’t mistake me. But if yvou gentlemien think you are going to win a compromise from congress if you go before them in a splrit of hos- tility, I tell you, you will get nothing.” Text of Resolutions. The resoclutions as finally adopted were as follows: “Resolved, That we approve the work | of the currency commission and that we ratify and endorse the action of the Chicago conference, the conclusions they reached and the recommendations they made. “Resolved, That we urge upon con- gress the wisdom and the necessity of incorporating into the proposed law the amendments recommended by the Chi- ¢ago conference, all of which have been elaborately presented to the committee on banking and currency of the Unit- president, secretary of the treasury and corgress for their efforts to create in this country an elastic as well as a safe currency, and pledge them our hearty support for the enactment of proper legislation to that G'n(‘."

MANN NEW PRESIDENT OF HOUSE OF DEPUTIES, OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH Election May Result in Abandonment of ldea of Changing Name to the American Catholic Church, New York, Oct, 8.—The Rev. Dr. Al- exander Mann, rector of Trinity church, Boston, was elected this afternoon president of the house of deputies of the Episcopal church by a_vote of 250 to 242 for the Rev. Dr. W. T. Manning, rector of I'rinity church, New York. Dr. Mann was the candidate of the low church element. First. Test of Strength. The contest between Dr. Mann and Dr. Manning was looked upon as the first test of votlng sirength between hich church and low church factions, aithough the personal qualifications of the candidates and not the question of church differences were emphasized in speeches made in seconding the nom- inations. The president wields a strong influ- ence in the counsels of the house of deputies. He has duties and powers similar to those of the speaker of the house of representatives in congress. Change of Name Unlikely. The election of Dr. Mann was 1e- garded by members of the low church party as a substantial victory. One re- sult of the vote, some of them de- clared, would be that the question of changing the denominational name to the American Catholic church ly would not be placed before the conven- tion. High church de asgerted on the other hand that the vote was too close to give any indication as to what course legislation would take Election Made Umnanimous. Dr. Manning upon learning of his ds- feat moved to have the election of Dr. Mann made unanimous. This was done and the balloting for secretary was begun. Dr. Henry Anstice of New York, who served in this capacity at the convention in Cincinpati three years ago, was elected. His was the only nomination. Dr. Mann appointed as assistant secrelzries the Rew. Car- roil M, Davis of St Louls, Rev. Wil- liam C. Prout of Herkimer, N. Y., and Rev. James G. Glass of Anniston, Ala. Dr. Hart Re-elected. The housc of bishops concluded an executive business meeting late today. Bishop Boyd Vincent of southern Ohio was elected chairman and Dr. Samuel Hart of Connecticut re-elected secre- tary. It was announced that a me- morial was presented by Rishop Alfred Harding of Washington, EY constitutional amendment for a revised method of lon in the house of deputies. action was taken, if any, was not stated. The house of bishops will resume its mest- ing tomorrow. A MOTHER UNFIT TO BE A TEACHER. New York Board of Education Dis- misses Mrs. Bridget Peixotte. New York, Oct. 8 —The board of ed- ucation today dismissed Mrs. Bridget C. Peixotte, a married woman teacher, because she became & mother on April 7. City Supt. of Schocls Maxwell was instructed to investigate and report on similar cases since January 1 last. Sevreal members of the board came to Mrs, Peixotte’s defense and fought against adoption of a majority report, recommending dismigsal. Five mem- bers of 32 who voted opposed the re- port. Attorney for Mrs, Peixotte announc- ed he would apply to the supreme court for a writ of mandemus directing the board to reinsiate her, The board holds that the teacher’s recourse {s to the state commissioner of education under the provisions of the educational law.
