SULZER COURT WILL
HEAR ALL EVIDENCE
totwh unanimously to admit
MWftlES of other con-
tributions.
* By Associated Press.
Albany, Sept. 26.—The Sulzer
court of impeachment unanimously
voted 1* favor of admitting all tes-
timony in reference to alleged cam-
paign contributions received by the
governor yvhethftr specified in the
articles of impeachment or not.
The point arose on the testimony
of Mosslr Tekulsy, former president
of the New York City Liquor Deal-
ers' Association, when he started
to tell about the organization's con-
tributions to Sulzer. Attorney Mar-
shall objected and maintained there
was nothing in thex articles of im-
peachment regarding this witness.
The purpose of the articles of im-
peachment, he contended, was t(
give notice to the respondent of the
nature of the accusations against
him ;*a«i to afford him time to pre-
pare kis answer.
Attorney Merrick for Sulzer is
buoyant He said he didn't think
it would be necessary for Sulzer to
talc fbe stand.
No Restrictions.
^ ,.i? N. Y., Sept. 25.—Governor
Sulzer was free to use the $2,500
cheek given him by Jacob H. Schiff,
a New York banker, in any way
he chofe. The banker so declared
Wednesday on the witness stand at
the impeachment trial of the gov-
ernor. Tke designation of the check
on its back as a contribution to the
governor's campaign funds did not
restrict its use to that purpose,
Mr. Schiff said.
Henry Morganthau, ambassador
> Turkry, formerly chairman of the
finance somniittee on the national
democratic committee, testified that
when ke gave the governor the
check for 11,000—a personal con-
tribution—be had placed no limita
tions on its use. He said, however,
that he had made the, gift to help
the governor in his campaign and
had ben "foolishly generous."
These are two of the alleged
paitf* contributions which the
& le of impeachmeni :igainst the
governor charge that he misused.
It possibly cannot make any dlf-
r Jj ference in this case, but if I were
sitting in a criminal prosecution,"
said Jaige Edgar M. Cullen, presi-
dent of the court, "I should have
to charge the petit jury that if the
owner consented to the use in any
manner of the money or check given
bj the party to whom it was de-
livered, such use would not consti-
tute lareeny."
This testimony and the ruling of
the presiding judge thereon marked
the opening of the actual trial of
the impeached executive, which up
uii.ll noon Wednesday had been de-
layed fcy arguments of counsel for
the defence. At that hour all ob-
stacles to the taking of testimony
had been swept aside by the vote
of the ©eurt. thereby permitting Eu-
v'ne Ij&uib Richards, of counsel for
the managers of the impeachment,
to outline the evidence against the
governor This opened the case.

Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 25.—Seri-

the house of representatives Wed-

ciliatory address, quieted angry

tated an uproar. Representative
McDade advanced toward the speak-
er and Senator Fisher stepped be
tween the two men. Speaker Stan
ton hurried from the hall. The ser-
geant-at-arms was dispatched in
search of Speaker Stanton and fail-
ing to find him the house, after a
wait of fifteen minutes, adjourned.
During the uproar it is claimed that
weapons were drawn.
The exciting finale of the session
followed a day's filibuster by "reg-
ular" members who had spoken ap-
parently against time to delay con-
sideration of the law-enforcement
bills. At the morning session Rep
resentative Testerman, addressing
himself to Representative Royston,
had declared "you lie. you hound!"
And had started toward him when
pinioned by five other members.
Shouts of "throw him out" and
"he doesn't belong here" greeted
Senator Fisher when he interposed
between the speaker and Represen-
tative McDade and Mr. Fisher was
escorted from the hall.
In a statement issued Wednesday
night Speaker Stanton of the house
of representatives said concerning
his adjourning of the house this
afternoon:
"I know, or had reason to know,
that members on the floor of the
house were armed. The house was
in the wildest throes 'Of turmoil and
disorder. In the gallery to the
right were all of the penguards in
most threatening attitude, while
near them, with guns drawn, were
John Yeaman and a man named
Garrett. These two men were near
pillars, ready to pick me or some-
one else off. Feeling that the lives
of the men were in danger I did
adjourn, as any presiding officer
would and should have done."
YOUNG MINISTER
DOPED
AND ROBBED
Durant, Okla., Sept. 25.—M. F.
Sherman, a young minister from
Strang, Okla., who was found un-
conscious Tuesday morning near the
Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf tracks
the north side of Durant, re-
gained consciousness late Wednes-
day afternoon and told of his being
doped and robbed.
The minister came into Durant
early Tuesday morning on the Katy
and was waiting for a Frisco train
to Hugo, where he was to take up
his work. He was asked by two
strangers to take a walk up town
and went with them. They took him
north of town where one of the
men held him up while the other
made him take two doses of dope.
That was the last he knew until
Wednesday afternoon. They took
all his money.
Shermaji has been preaching in
the Christian church at Strang for
the past four years. His grip was
found in the depot and contained a
Bible and Sunday school literature.
He gave a good description of the
men and the Durant police expect
early arrests. His mother was no-
tified and is on her way from
Strang.

By Associated Press.
Edna, Kas., Sept. 25.—The idea
of hanging herself was suggested to
Mrs. C. B. Littleton, wife of a

an article in a newspaper, Miss
Elina Ray, a neighbor, testified
when the coroner's Inquest was re-
sumed today.
"I came over to Mrs. Llttletou'3
nearly every day," testified Mrs.
Ray. "Tuesday before she died, I
found her crying. I asked her what
was the matter and she Bald, 'I am
so lonesome.' She asked me if I
had read about a youug woman
hanging herself on a hook on a
closet door, and her parents finding
her next morning. I Baid, 'no.' She
handed me a copy of the newspaper
and I read the article. It was
about a young woman hanging her-
self.
"I said to Mrs. Littleton 'it's
wrong to take your own life. You
won't go to heaven.' 'I don't know,'
said Mrs. Littleton, 'i think we
have plenty of hell on earth.'"
Miss Ray said Mrs. Littleton re-
peated the remark again that even-
ing. It was three nights later that
Mrs. Littleton was found hanging
in her bed room.
