SOUGHT TO
SEAL UPS

the Governor Gave Sarecly

BROKER GRAY IS A
RELUCTANT WITNESS
Admits that Colwell's Account Was
Part of Sulzer's- Stock Trans-

Figure in Testimony
Ttlegram by United Press
Albany Oct. 1. The prosecution In
the Sulzer Impeachment trial tod.iy
resumed their efforts to prove the
cluirgp that the governor used patron-
age to seal the Hps of witnesses.
The most prominent ca-e cited wr.s
that of Umis A. Sarecky.
Through letters sent by Sulzer to
the civil service commission asking
preferment for Karecky and his ap
pointment as dportation agent of the
state hospital commission the man-
agers hoped to substantiate two of the
impe'M'hiiient articles.
The prosecution claims that Harcckl
was promised a four thousand dollar
Job for refusal to testify before the
Frawley committer
A receps nil) il Saturday is possible
because tomorrow Is the Jewish New
Year.
John Hoyd Cl4y of the firm of Full-
er ft tlray brokers reluctantly ad-
mitted that Frederick Colwell's ac-
count. No. : was part of Sulzer's
account. He admitted th.it t'olweil
I. .11 him tlMt Ibo transactions in ttig
Four stock wert ':-T the governor.
Coiwell Is missing. The managers
allege that (he stock was purchased
with campaign contributions. lray
aid the account included a bond pur-
chase for a woman. He Insisted that
be did not remember the woman s
name.
F.vidence that Siilzer's stock trans-
actions with the New York brokerage
firm of Harris and Fuller were for
the account of Mrs. Sulzer was uis-
closed yeeterday. The articles of Im-
peachment charged that the governor
personally made use of some of hM
reported campaign contributions.
Melville H. Fuller bead of the firm
said that the governor had told him
that Mrs. Sulzer had a loan with the
now defunct Carlo eie Trust company
or New York and Hint In order to lake
up the loan for which u' had given
his note lie had deixisited securities
belonging to Mrs. Sulzer with Harris
and Fuller and borrowed money there-
cm to pay the note.
Fuller said t'.:e governor had told
him this in the executive mansion In
Aibany on July P.O. last when he had
tailed there at Mr. Sulzer's request
after receiving a subpoena to appear
before the Fr'wley Investigating com-
mittee. "'Well' said the governor." testi-
fied the witness "'Iherje securities be-
longed to Mrs. Sulzer when I brought
them to you.
"She had a loan with the Carnegie
Trust company. They required me to
give a lio'.e every three months and it
was very annoying so I took the secur-
ities down to you and borrowed the
money from you.'
"I said to Cov. Sulzer. that may be
true. There Is no evidence of any-
thing of that kind on my-books and
cannot be proven by me. "If it Is tru'
you'll have no trouble in proving If. as
the books of the Carnegie Trust com-
pany fciust be a mutter of record." "
With Fuller on the stand counsel
for the assembly- managers also he-1
gan to lay the foundation for proof of
the charges In the eighth article of Im-
peachment that th governor used his
oflicial power to affect the present
prices of securities lir.ted on the New
York stock exchange "In which he
was speculating." The article charges
that he first urged the passage of cer-
tain legislation and then withdrew or
attempted to withdraw It.
"Did you appear befcre Gcv. Sulzer
early In this year with reference to
certain legislation which was pending
affecting tV; New York stock ex-
change ?' asked Attorney Kresel.
I did" was the broker's-reply.
"At that time Gov. Sulster's account

FEED PENS
ALREADY IN
FULL BLAST
Season Opens a Year Earlier than
Last Year 7000 Cattle are
Now Fattening and More
are Coming Daily
MANY NEW PENS
BUILT THIS YEAR
Location on tha Washita River is
Ideal Lots Cover 175 Acres
-Feed Bill will Reach an
Enormous Sum
As the heat of summer wanes and
the cool autumn breezeH have given
warning that time nas come for the
preparation of winter quarters mark-
ed activity has been shown In the cat-
tle industry one of the largest indus-
tries In Chickasha and recrtfenired .in
l-i-JOaLli) the I;. alu.iOii Of ii A kiil-1
ill Texas or Oklahoma. It has grown
through years of nursing to its pres-
ent gignntic proportions from a small
individual pen of an acre or two.
Beginning almost a mouth in ad-
vance of last season's run the Chicka-
sha feed pens are now open and run-
i ing in full blast with a total of more
than 7000 cattle on full feed and near-
ly every day bringing new consign-
ments. . ''
Anticipating the big Increase that
would be needed in the capacity of the
pens this year the various owners
have had men at work since early in
the summer constructing new pens
until now they cover about 175 acres
some of which extend Into the timber
along the banks of the Washita river
being considered choice locations be-
cause of the protection from the win-
ter storms that the trees and brush
will give to the cattle.
The other pens l-esa fortunate In
their location are suppliesd with
sheds along their northern boundaries
which protect. In a measure the cattle
during the cold winter months. All
the pens are equipped with feed
troughs the entire number running
into the "hundreds mid to every pen
is piped city water which Is distribut-
ed to various parts of the pens wnee
huge galvanized iron tanks are placed
and where the cattle drink. A small
army of men and teams are employed
throughout the season in hauling feed
to the thousands of cattle stationed
there.
Among those who own pens in the
huge plant most of whom have erect-
ed additions this year are such well
known cattlemen as II. B. Johnson
Thos. Johns Ed F. Johns B. P. Smith
V." H. triggers. Uriggers & Bell Wal-
ter Long Arthur Slaton T. S. Hen-
dricks and Geo. R. Beeler. The entire
output represents an enormous amount
of money and the total Investment In
cattle represented in the yards at the
present time is nomething like S750-
'. The feed bill alone would soon
teduce a millionaire's bank roll to
about the dimensions of a fountain
pen and an Idea of the magnitude of
the proposition may be' gained by the
fact that now with the season only In
its infancy it is estimated that the
cattle eat oa an average of $1250"
worth of cottonseed meal hulls cake
corn etc. dally.
Headquarters for most of the cat-
tle men whose interests are represent-
ed in the enterprise are at the Cltl-
z ns' National bank here daily they

on cattle hogs and Bheep from the
