ALABAMA SENATOR sUccuMas
TO ILLNESS OF CONSIDERABLE
STANDING; HAD NOT BEEN TO
SENATE FOR A WEEK.
WEAKENS DEMOCRATIC LIST
HIS DEMISE lessons MAJORITY
IN FAVOR OF TARIFF BILL TO
ONE; PREDICTED VOTE NOW
BEING 4s TO AZ.

4 Washington, Aug. S.-senator JOS
eph f. Johnston of Birmingham, Ala,
died at his apartments here this morn
ing shortly before 8 o'clock.
Senator Johnston had been in poor
health and had not attended sessions
OF the senate for a week He had
been confined to his apartments most
Of the time, but his trouble was not
diagnosed as pneumonia until few
days ago. Senator Johnston was 10
years old. had served through the war
ii the confederate army, was governor
Of Alabama for two terms and had
been member of the senate since
1907 He was unanimously elected to
succeed the late Senator Pettus. He
was reelected in 1909.
The death of Senator Johnston
weakens the democratic majority on
the administration tariff bill in the
senate though party leaders insist
that there will be no serious difficulty
in passing the measure. The death of
Senator Johnston leaves the predicted
vote in the senate 4S to Al.
Democratic leaders in Washington,
it was said, would urge on the COVER
nor Of Alabama the desirability Of his
calling the legislature into special ses-
sion to give him authority Of appaint-
ment, or to provide for an immediate
election, under the direct election
amendment.

Association Of Manufacturers, had a
large part in the steps that led to the

New York, Aug. S.-Goyernor viii
liam Suffers speculations in the New
York stock market came out in the
open today before the Joint legislative
investigating committee. The testi-
mony showed the governor heavy
loser and indicated that while he had
a $4,000 debit against him with one
exchange firm, he used campaign con-
tributions to speculate with another
broker. A clerk for a stock exchange
house identified mysterious Account
No. 500" as sulzer's and a member Of
another firm, Melville Fuller, not on
ly admitted that sulzer had been
customer with debit account run
ming to nearly $4,000 but added that
he was testifying with '1ips unsealed
at the governors suggestion
The clerk who testified said he had
been told that account No. 50oy was
the governors by his employer, who
added that he was proud to have the
governors account
Further testimony was adduced and
list OF checks introduced tending
to show that part of the speculation
was carried on with funds contributed
to Sulzer's gubernatorial campaign.
None of these checks were reported
in the governors sworn statement Of
campaign contributions. This, accord
ing to counsel for the committee con-
stitutes violation Of the corrupt prac-
tees act, conviction Of which would
be mean automatic disbarment from
holding any public office.
The testimony showed that in Janu-
ary, 1912. Sulzer was in debt nearly
$4,000 to Harris and Fuller, and that
after repeated calls for margin the
debt was reduced to $4,000, and was
paid off in July last by Lieutenant
Commander Joseph Thai, the COVER
nor's reserve aide. who is banker
in Wall street.
With this debt against him, the gov
ernor, according to the testimony, US

Mexican press pIsapproves

| Mexico City, Aug, S.-The press 0
the Mexican capital today continued
its discussion of Provisional Presiden
Huertas note to Secretary of State
bryan, declaring thai the presence o.
John Lind in MexiFo wzlld be un
desirable unless he brought with him
recognition by the United States Of
the present Mexican government. The
newspapers unanimously applaud Pro
yisional President Huerta and support
their criticism of President Wilson's
policy by publishing extracts from
American newspapers in which Presi-
dent Wilson is attacked.
There is noticeable lack of the
vicious anti-Amerioanism which usual
ly attends discussion of the war move
ment and the opinion appears prevail
ent here, according to the expressions
CT the newspapers, that President
Wilson does not represent the spirit of
the people of the United States in the
policy he is pursuing.
The Independence. in an editorial
article entitled "The Psychology of
Wilson" says that the sending of John
Lind to Mexico has been blunder and
is so recognized by the press of the
United States.
The Mexican newspapers, both those
printed in English and those in Span
ish, reflect the approval by Americans
in the Mexican capital Of Provisional
President Huerta's stand
Federico Gamboa, the newly APP
pointed foreign minister, who is to
Manuel Cara Aldape, the
of Huerta's note, is due to
arrive here tonight His attitude or
influence has not yet been defined,
he is believed to be com
pletely dominated by Huerta. = Isl
regarded as probable that there will
not be any outward demonstrations of
hostility against John Lind on his ar
rival, although there has been no
abatement of the disapproval on the
part Of Mexicans of his coming,

TRIAL OF MAURYl. DlGGs BRINGS
FORTH HUNDREDS OF MEN AND
FEW WOMEN; MARSHAL USES
FORCE TO CLEAR WAY.
DEFENDANT IS IDENTIFIED
PULLMAN CONDUCTOR TELLS or
SELLING HIM DRAWING ROOM
FROM SACRAMENTO TO New
ADA.

San Francisco, Aug. $50 much
notoriety has attended the trial Of
Maury L Diggs under the Mann act
that the corridors of the federal build
ing were ohoked with crowds today
an hour before the doors of the court
room opened
! The United States marshal and his
deputies found it necessary to clear
way by force. Nobody was injured,
but there were crushed hats and
rumpled clothes. Few women were in
the crowd.
Marsha Warrington, on whose tes-
timony interest focused, was not ex-
pected to take the stand for the gov
ernment until late in the afternoon.
The prosecution planned first to in
troduce further evidence from railway
employees about the trip from sacra-
mento to Reno, where Diggs, Comm
ETH, Marsha Warrington and Lola Nor
ris were arrested.
Taking Of testimony in the trial of
Maury |. Diggs on the charge of hav-
ing conspired to violate the federal
white slave statute proceeded today
with the prosecution proclaiming abb
solute confidence of conviction by
reason Of Judge Ven Vleet's ruling yes,
terday on the question Of the charac-
ter of women in such cases.
IF Diggs bought the girls transpor-
tation to Reno, the girls antecedents
and the manner of their going, whe-
ther publicly and openly or secretly
and elandestinely, can have no bear
ing on the case" said Judge Van vleet.
Even if the women were public
prostitutes, he said, that would have
nothing to do with the issue.
c. H. Walbourn, a Pullman con
ductor, testified that on the morning
Of March 10 he accepted four railway
tickets from and sold a drawing room
to Reno from Sacramento to the tall
er Of two men in a mixed party Of
four.
Diggs and Caminetti we're asked
to stand up. II think l took the
tickets from and sold the railway
drawing room" said Wa1lbourn, ITO
the taller Of these two gentlemen"
Diggs is the taller.
Attorney Devlin objected that the
Identification was not positive, and
that the words Il think suggested
conjecture.
Judge Van Fleet ruled that q
think" was merely a usual express
sion, which a man might employ from
habit when his convictions we're in
reality positive.
There was no attempt to press
witness into a more positive identifi-
cation. The prosecution expects to
prove by the testimony Of the young
women themselves that they were on
on the train and feels that the con
ductor's evidence win be sufficiently
corroborative Court adjourned until
2 o'clock this afternoon.
