had summarily adjourned the body.
Written notice had been sent to the
speaker asking that he set the "1aw

The speaker recognized a member,
who moved to adjourn, and then ad-
jousned the house without putting it to
vote. This preetpitated an uproar
and the speaker hurried from the hail.
Representative McDade took the gavel
and tried to call the house to order
but failed because of lack of a
quorum.
It is claimed weapons were drawn
while the uproar was as its height.
According to rumors an effort viii be
made to depose Speaker Stanton when
the house meets tomorrow morning.

Tt is indisputably clear" he con-

due to the ownership or control by
the corporation OF ninety per cent Of
the pipe line business.

SHARP ISSUES
ON TARIFF BILL
TO Be SETTLED
When House And Senate
Conferees Reassembled,
1t Was Believed Last
Days Work on Measure
Was Before Them.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept. - Twenty
sharply contested issues in the tariff
bill remained to be settled when the
house and senate conferees reassem-
bled this morning for what many be-
lieved would be the concluding day Of
their work.
The policy Of the administration
toward foreign countries. involving
the proposed retaliatory provisions of
the tariff, the 5 per cent discount on
goods brought in American ships, and
the prohibition against goods made by
said labor and other similar features
were ze14f toef5e settled.
The conferees also were prepared
for a final decision of the perplexng
cotton futures tax question, involving
the Clarke amendment, proposing a
tax Of so cents per bale on all trades
in cotton futures. where actual deliv-
cry was not made. AS a compromise,
southern senators and representatives,
supported by the agricultural depart
ment and Postmaster General Burle-
son, have proposed q compromise, re-
ducing the tax to cents per bale
when the contracts specified govern
ment cotton grades and those grades
were delivered or the difference in
value paid in cash.
The tariff conference program was
radically altered today when A. r.
Marsh. president Of the New York cot
ton exchange, was permitted to appear
before the conferees to argue against
the proposed tax on cotton futures.
When the conference recessed, no
progress had been made toward a set
tlement of the question, and Senator
Simmons and Representative Under
wood went to lunch with President
Wilson at the White House TO dis
cuss the points stfll at issue between
the two houses.
The conferees expected the income
tax and cotton future sections of the
bill would be completed today but
doubt was expressed as to the com
p1etion of their work before tonight.
Senator Smith of South Carolina,
talked with President Wilson today
before appearing at the senate and
house tariff conference to argue the
subject of cotton futures. The South
Carolina senator was confident that a
compromise plan for taxing cotton fu-
lures would be adopted.

Albany, Sept. Ex-Governor Su1zer
WAS free to use the twenty-five hun
dred dollar check given him by Jacob
Fl. Schiff, the New York banker, in
any manner he chose. The banker so
declared today on the witness stand
at the impeachment trial Of the gov
ernor. The designation of the check
across it's back as contribution to
the campaign fund did not restrict it's
use for that purpose. Schiff said
Henry Morganthau, ambassador to
Turkey and formerly chairman of the
1nance committee OF the democratic
ness. He testified he gave SuIzer
one thousand dollar check and placed
no limitations on It's use. He said,
though. that he made the gift 20 help
the governor IN his campaign.
These are two OF the alleged cam
paign contributions which the articles
OF impeachment against the governor
charge he misused. Judge Cullen.
president Of the court, after the testi-
nnony. declared: "It possibly can't
make any difference in this case. but
in criminal case. where a check is
given by the party consenting that 1t
be used in any manner, could not con-
stftue larceny"
This testimony opened the actual
trial Of the impeached executive. All
obstacles TO the taking of testimony
had been swept aside by the vote of
the court Schiff took the stand after
the prosecution had called on various
offfcers OF the assembly and the secre-
tary Of state to prove Suizer was duly
nominated and elected governor.
CRUCIAL POINT REACHED.
The crucial point in the preliminary
work of the Sulzer impeachment trial
was reached today. Attorneys for
both sides entered the court room with
the knowledge that on the decision Of
the court on the legal objections now
before it--that Of permitting the ar
ticies Of Impeachment relating to the
governors money deals to enter into
the testimony-depended the whole
future OF the prosecution.
Without these articles of impeach-
membr-the first. second and sixth--it
was realized that the prosecutions
case would be weakened immeasur-
ably. Such a condition was not cal
cuaated to cause the assembly man
ayers to abandon the prosecution, but
to prompt them to use every effort
TO obtain ]eassage OF additional charges
by the assembly to brace up their
case.
Al a71 events, the governor must so
to trial. The attorneys awaited only
the starting signal. the ruling of the
court on the disputed articles.
Several members OF the court Were
acsenf when Attorney Austin q. Fox
