Governor Sulzer's Statement.


Governor Sulzer issued the following
statement early this morning:
In view of the fact that the Frawley
committee is about to make it's report
Of the investigation it has been maxi
ing. am advised that IT would be un-
wise for me at this time TO make any
detailed statement in reply TO the mat

promise | make the following brief
reply 10 the matters that l am in
formed had been brought before such
committee.
II deny that | used any campaign

II never had an account with Fuller

heard Of these firms; do not know the
members. and knew nothing about tho
transactions with these firms testified
TO before the Frawley committee until
recently threatened with exposure. and
the alleged transactions were brought
10 nv attention by the Frawley COM
mittee.
.'The stock matter with Harris &
Fuller was not a speculative account
or matter. but a loan made upon stock
as collateral. which stocks had been
acquired and paid for years before my
nomination for the office OF Governor.
and from other sources than Harris &
Fuller.
Certain checks given to me for CAM

from behind the wall OF the torture
chamber. and had no doubt concerto
ing the crime and the criminal.
Knowing Erik as he did. he easily re-
constructed the tragedy. Thinking
that his brother had run away with
Christine Daae. Philippe had dashed
in pursuit Of him along the Brussels
Road where he knew that everything
was prepared for the elopement Fail
ing to find the pair. he hurried hack
to the opera, remembered Raoul's
strange confidence about his fantastic
rival and learned that the viscount
had made every effort to enter the
cellars of the theater and that he had
disappeared. leaving his hat in the
prima donna's dressing-room beside
an empty pistol-case. And the count,
who no longer entertained any doubt
OF his brothers madness. in his turn
darted into that Internal underground
maze. This was enough, in the Per-
slams eyes. to explain the discovery
OF Count de Chagny's corpse on the
shore OF the lake, where the siren,
Eriks siren. kept watch.
The Persian did not hesitate lie
determined to inform the police. Now
the case was in the hands OF an ex-
amining magistrate called Faure. an
incredulous. commonplace, superficial
sort OF person q write as | think,
with a mind utterly unprepared to re-

Faure took down the daroga's deposi-

quoted in the preceding chapters,
when Darius announced the visit OF a
stranger who refused his name, who
would not show his face and declared
simply that he did not intend to leave
the place until he had spoken to the
daroga.
The Persian at once felt who mis-
singular visitor was and ordered him
to be shown in. The daroga was

He looked extremely weak and
leaned against the wall, as though he
were afraid of falling. Taking on his

auction apparatus, consisting Of a
large dial with pointer. Around the
rim of the dial are figures indicating
the prices. On raised seats, opposite
this apparatus, the merchants are
seated. Every seat is numbered and
communicates electrically with the
dial by means of button. Between
these seats and the apparatus is a
small canal, wide enough for barge
to be poled through. Every morning
the growers gather the produce ready
for market in their gardens, grade it.
weigh it, and write the quantity down
in book. The produce is then loaded
into barge, which one of the work
men poles to the auction place. where
he hands the book to the office.
From the moment the auction starts
the barges are poled through the small
canal between the merchants seats
and the auction apparatus. The auc-
tioneer announces the quantity and re-
leases the pointer, starting at figure
on the rim of the dial which indicates
price which is too high. The pointer
then swings around, indicating lower
and lower prices. When the price
which some merchant is prepared to
give is reached he presses his button.
The pointer stops, indicating the price
at which the produce is sold, and at
the same time number appears indi-
eating the seat of the merchant who
bought it. AS the merchants always
have the same seats, these numbers
indicate the merchants themselves.
The amount for which the produce is
sold is entered in the book, and when
the barge is poled out this book is
flung on the barge.
When the workman returns home
with the empty barge the grower can
see by this book the price which his
produce fetched. Before the merchants
can receive the produce they bought
they must pay at the office. Once a
week the grower can obtain his money
at the Office. less certain percentage
which is retained by the council to pay
the costs.
