,'a ROW WITH SULZER

Albany, N. Y, June 2~4.-Accusing
Charles +. Murphy of being behind a
conspiracy to blacken my character be-
cause refused to do his bidding"
Governor Sulzer gave in detail his YER
sion of his break with the Tammany
chieftalr. For more than an hour the
governor sat in the executive chamber
and told t0<the newspaper correspon-
dents :. story, bitter in it's denunciatiOn
OF Tammany's leader and replete with
allegations h a Murphy had attempted
TO nfiuence the executives action In
matters of legislation, appointments
and removal from office.
The governor said he had seen Muir
ply but three times since his Inaugural
ton. h last meeting was arranged
by a friend who wanted to ~straighteE
the differences between the executive
n the Tammany leader.
Il listened to his propositions" the
governor said, but / refused to do
what he wanted me to do because in
my opinion, he was wrong"
Was 1t PATRONAGE" the governor
was asked.

That was the last and that was fl
nal.
II came back to Albany a sad man
because some of my ideals had been
shattered, l talked it over with Mrs.

When l finished telling the story to
Mrs. Suizer I said there are just three
things for me to do-resign, surrender

all and have made up my mind to fight.
Mrs. Sulzer kissed me and said: You
are right; go on with the fight; I think
more of you now than 1 ever did in
my life"
The governor declared hat he had
been threatened with ruin unless he
did as he was bid.
II have always answered" he said,

to do Murphys bidding. l refused to
be a part of a criminal conspiracy to

INDIAN MASSACRE,
SECOND TO SEP0Y
UPRISING, FEARED

London, June 24.-lThe British are
facing a crisis in India, the like OF
which Is only to be found in the Sepoy
mutiny Of 1856. Forty-three natives
have been arrested at Calcutta charged
with conspiracy to incite a revolt
among the native troops, with the in
'tention of ~massacring the British army
OFFICERS and their families, as well as
all other British residents in India. '
The wholesale slaughter of British
was scheduled to take place in the fall
OF this year. Among those arrested are
Jewelers., merchants and some of the
Bengal nobility. Their arrest at Bar
lsal n at Calcutta was due to the
activity OF Raj Jamina Das Bahadur.
deputy magistrate Of Midnapur, who
caused the house OF his son at Dacca
to be searched. y w II
There a quantity Of ammunition, val
liable jewels obtained iL. a robbery and
a number Of papers, some in cipher.
were discovered, The documents con-
talnea proposals for the seducing of the
Gurkha, Punjabi and Mahratta soldiery
and the establishment Of military CEN
ters n a suggestion for the whoIe-
sale massacre In place of the present
Isolated murders.
Conspiracy il Nationwide, (
These papers also gave the names OF
the members Of the society. AS the re-
suit of this investigation the police
searched other houses and found a
mass of still more discriminating evil
dence which proved that the conspiracy
was nationwide and had the financial
support and backing of some of the
most prominent of the native princes.
Moreover, there has been a recrudes-
cence of outrages in the last IL months.
On July 5 a year g an attempt was
made to derail the train in which the
governor of Bengal WIS travelling. On
December %, 1912, an attempt was
made on the life OF Viceroy Lord Hard
inge, In which he was wounded and
his attendant killed as he was entering
Delhi in state.
In March of this year a bomb was
hurled at a British official and it's pur-
pose was only defeated when 1t prema-
turely exploded, killing the would be-
assassin. In April threatening letters
were sent to all the British editors in
he province as we'll as the larger
cities.
Whole Empire in Fear.
The whole empire Is 4 stirred with
fear. that there will be a repetition OF
the mutiny of Sc. Much of the present
trouble in the province has been brew
Ing for several years. In fact, the ma
tives have been restless ever since the
Russo-Jap war. Following the success
of the Japanese the Japs flooded India
with moving pictures Of the war. r
For the first time the yellow man
saw the white man conquered by his
race. Some Of the pictures were faxed
but the effect was the same. The
films pictured a condition that the. yell
low man never could have understood
for a minute otherwise and consequent
W he became greatly agitated.
These films penetrated the most OBJ
scure corners Of the Indian empire.
They have been supplemented since by
the activity of princes of the interior.
Vigorous steps are to be taken to
iencY.. The death penalty likely will be
invoked for all found guilty, but the
widespreadness of the conspiracy has
caused a wave Of terror to sweep over
the empire.

GOVERNOR DOES HIM AN
INJUSTICE SAYS MURPHY

New York, June 24--Charles +. Muir
ply, leader of Tammany hall, in n
statement last night, declared that
Gov. -Sulzer was absolutely in err
ror," when he accused Mr.. Murphy
of being a party to any so-Called con-
spiracy to d~isCredit" the governor. Mr..
Murphy replied also to other assertions
regarding him by Governor Sulzer.
IF, as he says, Mr.. Murphy's state
ment adds, detectives have been en-
gagged in securing the country in quest
of reflections on his record, / knew
nothing OF II until he himself impaired
the information. Indeed, all his other
allegations concerning me were just as
false and absurd. and he knows it,"
While he was in Albany attending
the meeting of presidential electors Mr..
Murphy says, Governor Sulzer sent a
messenger asking for an appointment,
The statement continues:
Il said | would nave to decline to
meet the governor unless the messen-
ger or some other third party would
sit in the room and listen to the con-
versatiOn; hat l would not trust my
self alone because l believed the Coy
ernor would not hesitate to swear my
life away If he found it to his adVan-
tage to do so% Subsequent events have
confirmed my Judgment"
Regarding a later meeting he had
with the governor in this city, the
Tammany leader says the appointment
was sought by the executive.
II made no proposition of any kind
or character at that interview" the
statement adds. IF I have ever made
a dishonest or dishonoFable proposition
TO William SulZer at any time since the
first day he knew me, let him make it
known to the public. There is nothing
that : want concealed.
His charge that l in any way inter
fered in the StilwelI case is on a par
with his other misstatements. Further
more. he has known me for nearly 80
years. and | challenge him to reveal
anything that he knows about mn pub
lie or private life hat viii reflect upon
integrity"

BATTLE AT ORTIZ
Is RESUMED TODAY

Douglas, Ariz., June 24.-Reports
that Gen. Pedro Ojeda. the federal
commander in Sonora, had surrendered
after a four days battle at Ortiz, were
denied today by the constitutionalists'
junta in~Douglas. Official messages
from Hermosillo said the battle was
resumed today.
Junta members asserted, however,
that Ojeda was surrounded and cut off
from his base Of supplies.
Advlces received by the junta and
from private sources at Nogales last
night stated that Ojeda had been sur
rounded and handicapped by the
greater strength of his enemies and
steady loss by assertions would force
him to surrender. This gave color to
the report today, which received cred
ence not only among sympathizers
with the Sonora insurgents, but also
among observers or the American side
of the line.
The enmity between Ojeda and the
constitutionalist commander. Obregon,
has not beer merely that OF opposing
soldiers. Personal feeling caused
Obregon to announce some time ago
that when he had whipped Ojeda, who
beat him several times at Aqua Prieta
recently, he would have the federal
commander shot.
