RULING ON SCHIFF'S ANSWER.
MOTION IS OVERRULED
Counsel for Prosecution Content...
Answer of Jacob Schiff Regarding
Twenty-Five Hundred Dollar G'ft to
Sulzer be Stricken Out.
Albany N. Y. Sept. 25. Wruii;;l:ng
ovtr the testimony started with the
opening of the Sulzer impeachr.'iit
trial today.
The prosecution contended thai the
answer of Jacob Schiff ycsterdav
when ho said that he did not intend
that his twenty-five hundred ddli'V
gift to Sulzer as "campaign expensaj"
should be stricken from the record.
Judge Cullen however ovor.-.iled
the move to stike out the answer.
Sulzer's counsel expressed them-
selves as well pleased with the re-
sults thus far and Derrick said thai;
H might not be necessary for Sulzc:'
to take the stand.
Sulzer lost a point when the im-
peachment court unanimously voted
to admit all testimony with rcfeitnre
to campaign contributions received
by the governor whether they were
mentioned in the Impeachment m ti-
des or not. His counsel contended
that he should have been :ioiifierl to
as to gfve him a chance to prepare
a defense. The -prosecutlo ' declared
that Sulzer dollberately so ijrh' lo fal-
sify his statement that he accom-
plished that purpose and that the evi-
dence should be admlt'.e-.'.
The test arose when Morri? Te-
kusky former president of the New
York Liquor Dealers began testifying
nnd the defense maintained tiero was
rothlng in the Impeachment articles
regarding this witness.

Bartlesvllle Okla. Sept. 24. Illicit
relations alleged to have existed be-
tween Mrs. Laura M. Reuter ou trial
for her life In the district court
here is what brought about the mur-
der of her husband Charles T. Keu-
ter" ap romineiit Tulas attorney ac
cording to the alli gations of the state.
Wednesday a dozen witnesses tes
tified for the" state tending to show
that the accused woman was indis
creet with Guy McKcuzie an oil man
who now Is serving a life sentence
in the state penitentiary for the part
he played in the killing.
The state centered its fire around
he statements of the accused worn
an just nfter the killing of her hus
band In which it is alleged that she
did not give an Immediate alarm af
ter her husband was shot to dtath
in his home. That she waited until
after the "burglar" had left the
Renter home and was making hi
get-away in an automobile to raise
window and sound an alarm was
testified. There was some confusing
testimony by witnesses called by thai
state as to when the defendant
sounded an alarm and the physical
condition of the accused woman a
the- time of their arrival.
It was conceded that tin; state had
bested the defense in the day's pro
ceedings although one of the coun
stl for the defense Moman Pruiott
of Oklahoma City shattered the tes
timony of a couple of witnesses. The
witnesses were neighbors of Mrs
Reuter.
An attempt was made to show tha
Mrs. Reuter was Intimate with (Mc
Kenzie but It was not proven that
any illicit relations existed between
them. It was shown however that
the accused woman and McKenzie
had acted in a manner that may
have been cause for the husband
to become jealous. That was the
basis of the killing.
Mrs. Reuter's two children a girl
'J years old and a boy 5 years old
were in the court room for thai first
time Wednesday. The first sensation
is expected Thursday when either
Joe Baker the man who killed Reu
ter or Grover (Bud) Hallow will be
called to the witness stand.

Banks Must Pay Taxes.
Chickasha Okla. Sept. 24. Follow-
ing a presentation of the case last-
ing only a few minutes Judge Camp-
bell of the federal court of the east-
ern district at Muskogee denied the
application for an injunction to re-
strain the treasurer of Grady county1
from collecting taxes from certain
national banks of Chickasha on the
basis of the valuation fixed by the
county assessor. Judge Campbell de
nied the application on the grounds
that his court had no jurisdiction in
the case.
The refusal of the federal court to
take jurisdiction in the case leaves
the decision of Judge Bailey of the
district court of this county in force
and the banks will therefore be re-
quired to pay the entire amount lev-
ied against them.
