Sulzer Denounced
During His Trial

Albany, Sept. 24-At the sugges-
tion Of Chief Justice Cullen Of the
Court Of Appeals, the Sulzer impeach-.
ment court has decided by a vote Of
40 to 7 to defer decision as to legality
Of the impeachment articles until af-
ter all the evidence against the COVER
nor is in.
Attorney Richards, oepning for the
prosecution, after decision to delay
was reached, denounced Sulzer violent
ly. ell said he employed bagmen to
scour the state for contributions to
the campaign fund, and had the bag
opened to $4,000 as we'll as So con-
tributions. He intended to keep the
fnuds to buy stock and supply the
margins for stock speculations. AS
high as the office and position is he
clared himself prepared to prove low
and sordid crimek against William
Sulzer, his chief offenses being plain
fraud, larceny and perjury.
Managers of the impeachment pro
ceedings have subpoenaed the man
ayers Of local Telegraph offices to
produce all kilograms sent by Sulzer
to his wife, Private Secretary Sarecky,
John Hennessey and James Garrison,
from June to September. The capitol
room where the trial is in progress
was packed despite only the bearers
Of admittance cards are admitted.
Austin Fox, Sulzer's counsel, argued
eloquently in support of the defense's
request that three of the impeach-
ment articles be quashed.
When he concluded, Justice Cullen
said the questions raised were such
as could not be decided off hand and
suggested delay.
Senator Wagner moved to postpone
action, which was carried.
Cady Herrick filed Sulzer's answer.
He denied all allegations except the
sending Of campaign contributions,
saying he accepted them in god faith

Wireless Around World

Washington, Sept. 24-The little
naval station of Tutuila, Samoa, which
has always been regarded as about
shut off from electric communication
with the outside world, Unexpectedly
late yesterday sent a message to the
nevy department.
Inquiry showed that the means of
communication was, first, the wire
les soutfit on the little station ship
Princeton at Tutuila. This was not
sufficient to reach any Of the shore
wireless stations, but the message
was picked up by a passing steamer
hundreds of miles to the southwark
and relayed by wireless to Suva, in
the FIJI islands. There it was put
on the cable and dispatched around
the world to Washington.
It is expected that when the new
powerful wireless station planned by
the German government at Apia,
Samoa, is operative, the station ship
at Tutuila will be enabled to main
tain communication with this coun-
try.

quent appeals for steps to be taken

The crop will be much harder to

are peeved at the great oil paintings
that adorn the walls Of the rotunda

eight great allegorical paintings
which hang there, it is now pointed
out that five are defective either in
technique or in regard to natural or
historical fact Hehe are some Of the
mistakes which have been pointed out
by the guides:
The figure of girl in one has
three hands.
The figure Of an Indian chief has
foot on which are six toes.
Flags on Columbus boat are blow
ing in three different ways.

surrender Of CORVALLIS at Yorktown
which he wasn't.
The signing Of the Declaration Of
Independence was given as July 4,
1876, when as matter Of fact it
wasn't signed until August 2, 177e
So far no official notice has been
taken Of these apparent defects in
the great paintings, which are one
Of the big show features for Wash
ington visitors. They have all hung
on the wall so long every one is
waiting for someone else to start the

Fultz Says Fraternity Will Not Joir
With Federal League.

NEW YORK, September 6.-Persistent
reports that the base ball players frater-
nifty was about to become allied with the
Federal League were set at rest this aft
ernoon by statement of David l.. F,ultz.
president of the fraternity, in which Fultz
declares that his organization would make
no alliance with any faction whatever in
the base ball world. The statement says
in part:
IF there is to be a war among base
ball magnates they must fight it out
themselves. AS an organization we re-
fuse absolutely to be drawn into the con-
troversy. Il admit. however, having had
one conference with Mr.. Fogel within the
last four weeks. as we'll as others with
gentlemen in no way connected with Mr..
FOgel. There seems to be an abun-
dance of money ready for investment in
the base ball business, but this can have
no effect upon our determination of main
tanning a position Of neutrality as long
as there is a possibility of obtaining a
square deal from the magnates.
I'VE have not only been turned down
in our appeal to the national commission,
but we have been told that our wrongs
do not exist, although we see them every
day 1t is my personal opinion that the
commission has committed very grave
error. IniS. however, Is It's own AFFAIR.
Our organization has membership of
over 800 of the leading players of the
country. There is not a desirable player
in the big leagues who is not within the
ranks, and every team in the Interna-
tional League with the exception of Bal
timore, has joined us. The players as a
body have seen fit to express their griev-
ances through their fraternity. The COM
mission has ignored the requests and has
told us that further communications
would receive no attention. Naturally
the players have not taken to this attitude
In very kindly spirit
