W., January 21—The whole face of Ambrim Island in the THIRD PROTEST FAILED TO ELICIT A REPLY, that an egg REFUSED TO MAKE “BAGMAN” COMMISSIONER Also Caused Canal Contract to be Held Up Because Lowest Bidder Was Not Getting a “Square Deal”—Had Con- ferences With Murphy and Tried to Get Along With Him But Would Not Violate His Oath of Office, He Says. New York, Jan, 21.—William Sulzer testified undér oafh today that Charles threatened to wreck his administration. F. Murphy, leader of T: as governor of New York if he didn’t appoint James E. Gaffney commission- er of highways. He said he had de- clined to make the appointment after a conference in. Washington with Unrited States Senator James A. O'Gor- man. The senator told him, he said, that Gaffney was Murphy’'s “chief bag- man” and that Gaffney had attempted to hold up James O. Stewart, a state highway contractor and client of the senator’s for $100,000 “and that to ap- point him would be a disgrace to the state of New York.” Sulzer Explains Telegram. Sulzer's testimony was his first sworn statement of charges he had made against Murphy and in many particulars he elaborated them, Sulzer appeared as a witness in Dis- trict Attorney Whitman's John Doe inquiry into state highway graft. He was called to explain why, as govern- or-elect, he had sent a telegram to the state canal board requesting to defer uction in the matter of a $5,000,000 canal contract upon which Stewart was lowest bidder. Stewart, who failed to get the contract, testified at a previous hearing that a man named Gaffney had asked him for a contribution of five per cent .of the contract. Told He Was “Butting in.” Sulzer said today he had sent the telegram because he had been told by George H. McGuire of Syracuse that there was danger that Stewart’s bids would be thrown out and that this would be a great injustice to Stewart end the state of New York. For having requested the canal board to defer action in the matter, Murphy summoned him, Sulzer said, and told him that he was “butting in where he didn't belong,” and that he was “not beginning right as govern- | or. . Boss Murphy’s Threat, When Sulzer resented this and told the Tanmmany chief that he intended to be his own governor, he swore that Murphy replied: - “Like hell you will. Tl see whe: you'll end up damned quick.” This interview Suizer indicated marked his first clash with Murphy. Sulzer said that Senator O*Gorman, whose law partner, George Gordon Battle, took Stewart’s case up with the canal board, congratulated him upon having sent the telegram. He further testified that when he became governor he agreed with Attorney General Car- mody, a member of the canal board, that Stewart ought to get the contract and had sought to “get him justice.” The other members of the board, how- ever, outvoted the attorney general six to ome, Has Nothing to Conceal, “I have no information that I care to conceal and will answer any ques- tion you care to ask,” said the former governor. Mr. Whitman inquired about the telegram Sulzer sent to the canal board In December, 1912, asking it to defer action on the matter of awarding & contract to James C. Stewart, Sulzer sald that shortly before this he received a telegram from George H. McGuire, which stated that if Stewart's bid was rejected it would be a great injustice to both Stewart and the peo- ple of the state, “as McGuire said that Stewart’s bld was thousands of dollars lower than any other.” “I thought it was my dut; said the witness, “as governor-elect, to re- quest the board to defer action.” Accused of “Spilling the Beans.” He sent the telegram on December }9 and the next day, he said, John H. Delaney, now commissioner of the bu- eau of efficiency and economy at Al- auy, came to see him at his office. “He seemed very continued Sulzer. ‘what have you done? You have spill ed the beans. The chief is all worked up about it I sald ‘What have I done? He said, ‘You sent a relegram yesterday and it has angered the chief, | 'm afraid.’it’s all off between you. Now he wants to see you.’ “I sald ‘Why, John, that's the sim- gleflt thing in the world’ and showed Im this telegram from McGuire. 1 told him that I didn’t see why Mr. Xvkiluhphy should get mad at a thing like that.” Met Murphy at Delmonico’s. Sulzer said that at Delaney’s re- | quest he called up Murphy and the | latter asked him to come to see him. He said he saw Murphy at Delmonico’s that afternoon. “Mr. Murphy took me into a small- er room,” said Sulzer. me and T could see he was perturbed. He said “Why did you send that tele- am to the canal board? I said 'hat’s very simple,’ and I showed him | t telegram from McGuire, said, ‘You've made a great mis- ke vou don’t want to butt into thing #hat don't concern you. Tl attend to this’ Then he looked at me very quiz- zically and wanted to know if Senator O'Gorman hadn't asked me o send Lhis telegram % Advised to Keep His Hands Off. “I said no, T'd ‘never seen O'Gor- man. Then he said ‘Keep your hands off. This is= none of your business. This is no way to begin as governor. He went on in that strain and I lis- tened to him because it was the firat 1 had seen of the workings of invisible government. I told him I was zoing to be governor and that hed better understand it. He said, ‘Like heil you are.’ Sulzer described a meeting with Murphy in New York on March 18 of | that year when the Tammany leader attempted to induce him, he said, to ; make other appointments. r. Munphy “was the boss,” con- “I-was the governor. I “@id everything in -my ‘power to zet salong with him. I.was willing to do g within reason, but I was not to violate my-oath of office nor to shut my eyes 1o graft. When I told him this, Murphy always laughed t me.” “Graft, Graft Everywhere.” Sulzer declared that when he be- gan hig investigations into: various state departments after he became gov- ernor he was ‘staggered at the overs g 7 4 much perturbed,” | “He looked at | whelming corruption in the state of New York.” “It was graft, graft everywhere,” he said, “nor any man to stop it.” He declared that Murphy had sent John H. Delaney as a messenger to him demanding the dismissai of Juhn A. Hennessey as graft investigator. He sald that Murphy wanted to ar- range for telephone connections be- tween Delmonico’s and the executive mansion. “T asked Murphy to write,” said the witness, “but he said he never wrote.” Would Have Saved Himself by Com- x ° promising. Referring to the reported secret con- ference between Murphy and his licu- tenants at Delmonico’s where Sulzer has previously charged it was decided to impdach him, he said Jay W. Forest of Albany had a.letter in his posses- slon which would prove such a confer- ence had been held. “Up to the very last minute,” he said, “if 1 had been willing to com- promise, I would not have been re- moved. Mr. Murphy sent me word time and again that if I'd quit he'd quit-and Senators Frawley, Wagner, Sanner and Ramsperger would quit.” Asked why he had removed C. Gor- don Reel as highway commissioner, be said: “Reel was incompetent and a fool. He came to me and said he would give mle a great story of cor- ruption, but he never told it to me.” Sulzer will be called to the stand again on Friday., ADMIRAL HOWARD KEPT AWAY FROM PHILIPPINES. Chairman of Carabao Dinner Commit- tee Gets Another Assignment. { Washington, Jan. 21.—An echo of the Carabao banquet, at which the ad- ministration’s Philipuine policy was ridiculed here last month, was heard {at the navy department today, when i Secretary Daniels revoked an order as- | H signing Rear Admiral Thomas B. How- | ard to command the Asiatic fleet, suc- | ceeding Rear Admjral Reginald F. Nicholson. Instead, Admiral Howard will relieve Rear Admiral W. C. Cowles, commanding the American | squadron off the Pacific-Mexican coast, and Admiral Cowles will take com- mand of the Asiatic fleet. Admiral Howard was chairman of the Carabao dinner committee, and with the other members, high army and navy officers, was reprimanded at the direction of President Wilson after an investigation of the travesties and songs which featured the military so- ciety’s banquet. “Under the circumstances we did! not want to send Admiral Howard to the Philippines,” said Secretary Dan- fels today. “But as we have every confidence in him, we did not want to give him a command that would in any way appear to be a punishment, so we | decided to send him to the Pacific- Mexican squadron. This arrangement is entirely satisfactery to -Admiral Howard.” VERDICT OF $3,200 FOR MRS, EASTON. | Member of Strawride Party | Which Figured in Collision.

WIFE MURDERER TO FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE Declares That Hi Confe: Forced from Him. Galesburg, Iils., Jan. 21.—Determina- tion to fight for freedom, despite his confession of murdering his wife, was expressed today by Robert Higgins, in the jail at Aledo, Ills. “I am going to establish my inno- cence.. My conscience is clear,” he said., “They forced that confession from me. I did not know there was a shell in the shotgun when I pulled the trigger. They can't prove who loaded it.” Higgins' attorneys are said to have advised their client to plead guilty and rest on the court's mercy, but af- ter learning the young man’s deter- mination to fight the case they are considering an insanity plea. To substantiate the theories that Higgins' plot against the life of his wife was of long standing and was not encouraged or participated in by Julia Flake, except under threats from him, relatives of Miss Flake today pro- duced letters from the girl showing ‘her hate of her stepfather and dissat- isfaction with her mother's second marriage. In a letter written January 10, 1913, to Mrs, Jennie Fiake, an aunt in Galesburg, Julia said: “I won't call him (Higgins) papa if they kill me to do it. Gee, I wish papa had lived. ~Wish I could live with Uncle Charlie.” In another letter Julia wrote: “Higgins savs he would not of got married if it had not been for me. Ma said, ‘Well, why didn’t you wait and marry Julla then’ He said, ‘Cause she n Was | wouldn’t_have me.’ " Julia Galesburg’s relatives are doing all they can to shield her. “Julia is not to blame for the mu: der; Higgins hypnotized her.” Mrs, E.
