Assemblyman Aaron y Levy was
peeved last night lie had planned 70
obtain permission from the chief counsei

impeachment of which he is chairman
10 give out a statement to the press.
This statement concerned letters written
by Governor Sulzer that practically
amounted to coercion of witnesses before
the Frawley committee, according to
Levy.
Levy said Isidor Kresel, one of the
counsel should have put the matter be-
fore the said chief counsel, but had
neglected TO do SO. Mr.. Kresel had all

counsel, consisting of eX-Judge Alton Is.

added would be examined al private

day of the trial He declared important
evidence. not produced at any of the

as to the need of additional counsel.
There is some difference OF opinion in
the minds Of counsel as TO whether or
not il would be better to try to change

PENN. TO DROP THOUSANDS
Railroad Plans to Retire EN-
ployes Over Sixty five.

Philadelphia, Sept. II. - Through
what It terms "a mutual benefit asso-
citation" the Pennsylvania Railroad IS
arranging to retire thousands Of its
emploves Who are more than sixty-fiye
years old. but who have not reached
the pensioning age Of seventy years.
Veteran clerks are being asked 20
sign applications for membership IN
the new association, which provides
death benefit for small monthly pay
ment. but those becoming members are
required to retire on half their present
pay.
The money that the railroad will save
in this way is regarded by the emplo! ts
as likely to exceed by far the amount
the company will be called upon To pay
in death benefits.

Democrats Prepared to SqueICh
Every Change That May Be
Suggested by Republicans.
BILL TO PASS THIS WEEK
Tariff Measure Expected to
Come from Conference in
Ten Days and To Be
Promptly Disposed Of.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington Sept. 1.-THE adminstra-
ton currency bill is expected 10 pass the
House without material amendment dur
ing the present week. Ii is the plan OF
Representative Glass to have the meas
ure sent to the Senate, probably before
Saturday, and tired House members then
will devise means Tor getting a short
vacation.
Mr. Glass has practically served notice
that Republicans may offer amendments
TO their hearts content. but they will be
voted down. The caucus mandate pre-
vents Democratic members from voting
for an amendment not sponsored by the
Banking and Currency Committee and
the majority of the committee deems the
administration bill near perfect
In closing the general debate on the
bill late last night Mr.. Glass, addressing
the minority, promised that when the
bill goes under the 'five-minute rule to-
morrow We are going to let YOU present
all the amendments and substitutes YOU
like, and then well cheerfully vote most
Of them down"
1t is not the intention Of the Republic
can members of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee to present substitute
bill for the Glass measure, but numer-
Gus. and probably futile, attempts VIII
be made to perfect the measure by
amendment Members of the minority
have condemned especially that section
of the bill which gives great power to
the federal Reserve Board, and also the
provision forcing national banks to come
into the regional reserve associations ana
subscribe TO the stock of the reserve
banks.
Following the passage of the currency
bill there will be little for the House 10
do during the next month except consider
the conference report on the tariff bill.
Present indications are that the tarlf
bill will emerge from conference within
ten DAYS and its consideration in the
House will be a perfunctory affair MT.
Underwood. the majority leader. has held
out the hope to wearied members that
recess may then be arranged which VIII
permit Honse members to 90 to their
homes for few weeks.
II is possible the House will ask the
consent Of the Senate to take recess
for the lower body thirty days or more
the Constitution providing that neither
body may recess for a greater perlou
than three days without the consent OF
the other. If the Senate doesn't want
the House to recess, a gentleman
agreement" will be reached in the lower
chamber to transact no important busi-
ness and three-day adjournments viii De

STATE IN URGENT NEED
OF CASH, GLYNN SAYS
Writes Legislators Asking Them
to Consider Levying Direct
Tax as Soon as Possible.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J

Albany. Sept. lin the effort TO avoid
"deplorable situation in the state $
finances acting Governor Glynn to-day
sent to each member Of the Legislature a
letter urging him to be present at the
reconvening OF the extra session next
Wednesday night at $3.50 O'Clock.
The legislation which he seeks to nave
/ considered then is the levyins OF direct
state tax. Without such a tax the act
ing Governor declares the state will de-
fault in Its obligations and it's good name
will he dscredited and disgraced. The
levying of a direct tax cannot be made
unless three-fifths of the members OF
both houses are present
Although Mr. Glynn says the tax must
be levied at once in order that the vari-
Gus boards OF supervisors may be put in
position TO raise the money thus re-
quired." the opinion was expressed here
tonight that no action would he taken
on direct tax bill for several weeks.
The coming impeachment trial OF Gov
ernor Sulzer which begins next Thurs
day is absorbing the interest Of every
body i'm Albany to such an extent that ii
is unlikely that legislators will pay any
attention to financial legislation. A direct
tax bill could not be passed before the
beginning of the trial and after that
even though the Assembly were disposed
TO act. the Senate will have lttle time on
its hands for legislative matters.
Consequently action on direct tax
bill. in spite OF its urgency. viii be put
of until after the impeachment trial
which. il is expected. will consume six
weeks or two months. According TO the
state Controller. the state now has no
money with which 10 pay interest on its
bonds and contributions to its sinking
funds. and It is understood that this de-
lay will seriously hamper the officials IN
charge Of the states finances.
The passage Of appropriations for
printing. legislative expenses and salaries
of legislative employees which Governor
Sulzer cut out OF the appropriation and
supply bills az the regular sessions, II
also necessary. For months many en-
ployes have been waiting FOR their pay
and the money due for printing has been
held up. The state owes several hundred
thousand dollars. and Generalization has
resulted from the failure OF the Lesisla-
ture to act.
1t is expected that acting Governor
Glynn will make another attempt TO have
an appropriation Of about 100000 passed
for the payment OF farmers who have lost
diseased cattle or horses after they have
been condemned by the Department OF
Agriculture. The disposlng Of these mat
ters, together with the impeachment
trial. may keep the present Legislature
i'm session until December

Outlook Poor for Americans
Who Left Their Property
Unprotected.
RULINGS AGAINST THEM
DEGREES of Spanish Treaty
Claims Commission Will
Probably Be Cited
by Huerta.
From The Tribure Bureau. !

Washington, Sept. 14-Much attention Is
being given here to the matter OF claims
for damages against the Mexican govern
ment by Americans who. In obedience to
President Wilson's suggestions that they
remove themselves from the danger zone
are leaving their property behind. at the
mercy OF armies and of bandits
Many Of these Americans will undoubt-
eddy suffer great financial losses Other
Americans have already lost heavily ana
there are numerous claims against the
Mexican government even now, although
none is being pressed at this time.
The Secretary of state recently an
nounced. I'm response TO anxious requests
FOR information by Americans who did
not want to abandon their properties. that
the Mexican authorities would be held
strictly accountable for damage to Amer
lean property.
To observers here who are familiar with
international law and usage there arise
two considerations. The first is the ques-
ton as TO whether Mexico will ever be
financially able 10 reimburse Americans
and other foreigners. and the second ana
most important. is the extent Of the Ia
bility OF the Mexican government for ths
destruction OF property left without pro-
lection by Americans. who departed IRON
the country on their own volition ana
through no fault OF the government IN
Mexico City.
At least, it is pointed out here, the
Mexican government would have nue
grounds for making such an answer TO
claims pr, sented by the government OF
the United States.
