Sulzer Declares Threats of AS

Senator's Confession
OFFERED GRAFT TALE IN
EXCHANGE FOR PARDON
Warned by Underworld That if
He Peached He Would Never
Leave Prison Alive

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Threats OF
death II he ''peached' on Tammany
members OF New Yorks legislature
and on Chief Murphy, OF Tammany
hall, according TO statement by for
mer Gov William SulZer here today.
Is all that prevents complete expose
OF legislative corruption In this state
by former Senator Stephen j. Stilwell,
now in Sing Sins, convicted of solicit
ing brlbe.
Suzer. as part of the red-hot New
York election fight, today gave out an
autograph letter from Stilwell, asking
him for pardon. in which Stilweii
wrote:
Il have been promised by the
early release. Word was sent me be-
fore the recent political agitation that
the governor would be impeached and
my prompt release would follow"
Stilwell. Sulzer said today, offered a
full and free confession duplicating
many members OF the legislature, If
he were pardoned. Sulzer said he re-
fused pardon, unless the confession
came first. Then, said Sulzer:
Several times in the latter part or
August and the first part OF Septem-
Ter, friends of Stilwell came to see
me. They had talked with him in the
prison and told me what Stilwell was
willing to tell about graft and grafters
in Albany. These people told me that
Stilwell was afraid to confess In Sing
Sing, for fear of assassination. They
went into many details about him.
Stilwell, 1t seems, had been warned
by the underworld that il he peached
he would never get out OF prison
alive"
Sulzer continued:
These friends OF Stilwell told me
that | ought to pardon Stilwell in the
public interest, as we'll as my own.
They informed that Stilwell had been
advised to keep still and my successor
will pardon him. They can
tell you OF the representations the
emissaries of The Chief have made
to Stilwell regarding his pardon by
my successor in Office. and also regard
ing the reversal by the appellate divi-
son OF the supreme court. | refer you
especially to the Rev. O. r. Miller.

will now tell the people Of the state

courage to do So"

While his mother father and seven.

Maurice Waegenore. five years old, of
No. 7iS West Jefierson-ave.. lay ex-
hausted Oh the ground in commo ns
at Livernois and Plttsburgh-aves..
drenched To the skin with the rain,
and chilled with the cold.
He would probably have persisted
from exhaustion il two young men,
hunting mushrooms, had not stumbled
ing. just "a hours after he had left
his home. to ride on the wagon with
a driver for J. ID. Bordeau, dealer in
grocer's specialties on Fort-st.
The little fellow was In stupor.
and his face. hands and neck were a
dark blue from exposure. Police OF
Scotch station were Immediately noti-
fed, and the little wanderer was rush
ed TO the station, where he revived
when cup of hot coffee was forced
down his throat.
The field where he was found Is
four miles from his home, the north
west section of the city. His home is
just about a mile from the city hall,
near Fifteenth-st.
When he failed to return home at
noon., Monday, little attention was
paid TO the fact, as the boys OF the
neighborhood often rode out on Dor.
deau's wagon. AT supper time. when
he was still missing his parents noti-
fed the police. and then, with little
Marguerite sobbing in terror, beside
them, set out TO search for the lad.
All night long, through the cold rain
that was soaking the little form hud-
died up on the ground in the far OFF
commons. the mother, father and little
sister plodded along. searching every
where within radius Of mile from
their home. They went home at day
light, exhausted. and discouraged, be-
lieving that the boy had been kid
Iaped and killed, or had met death
through some accident.
When they were notified. Tuesday
morning, that Maurice was safe and
sound, and little the worse for his ex-
perience, they were nearly crazed
with JOY.
Officers in the station had changed
the boys soaked clothing for warm
garments furnished by one OF the
officers. The blue color OF the little
lads face and hands char
liver red, but he seems to be all
right, in spite of his terrible expert

left the wagon. alone. and started to
walk home. He says he walked and

RAILROAD RUMORS.

The proposition to construct a rail
way from Dickinson to Mott is grow
ing more popular daily and there is to
be a big meeting of the Commercial
club May I, at which Gov. Hanna and
other out Of town speakers will make
addresses. BY running a line to Mott
and connecting with the Milwaukee at
that point. a great deal Of trade in the
country south Of here could be retain
ed, and this section of the state would
then have another direct line to the
Twin Cities and the east. 1t would be
of great advantage to the wholesale
and jobbing interests of Dickinson.
Expert railway men claim that a line
to Mott can be constructed for $780,
900 per mile. as there are no heavy
grades and no bridges of any import
ance will be necessary. Citizens Of
Dickinson are becoming quite enthusi.
astic over the plan since its feasibility
has been demonstrated by the commit
tee selected by the club to investi-
gate the matter.

THE MUNICIPAL UNIVERSITY

THE municipal university is com
paratively new in this country, and its
development will be watched with In
tcrest,' said DR.. p. p. ClaXton, United
States Commissioner of Education, in
discussing the University of Cincin'
natl. ''There are certain significant
things about this city university that
tend, to show how valuable such an
histNltion may be to a community.
Ss"Cohsider the student body. Sew
enty-nineI per cen of those in the Col
lege'tOf Liberal Arts are residents OF
the city, and they have lived In Gin
cinnati an average of 10 years. Near
ly half Of the students were born in
Cincinnati. A recent inquiry elected
the information that 81 per cent OF
the students lacked the means to at.
tend a university outside the city.
Thus the university is providing high.
er education to residents of the mu-
nicipality who could ecure it in no
other way. . w.,
Something like 20 per cent of the
students are fatherless. VI the faith
ers of the others, less than one-fourth
are in the so-called professions, or
mechanical pursuits. AS a further in
dication of the classes reached by the
university, S5.5 per cent of the male
students have followed gainful Occu-
patiOns before coming to college, and
"a per cent of them work regularly
during the year for a part of the time.
1t is to men and women such as these
that the University Of Cincinnati is
extending it's opportunities, by coop
etative courses. by day and evening
classes, and in many other ways.
although the municipal university
ma" be more or less Of a novelty in
this country, it is by no means SO

at Leipzig knows that the university
in that city is not merely a great
German university, but is first an

Hamburg has just completed plans
for a city university on a large scale.

industrial centers in which they are
located. and are to that extent munich.

SETTING TIE FACTS,

Associate Justice Mason of the Kan.
a supreme court contends that the
criminal procedure should be so
amended as that verdicts of innocence
or guilt shall be based upon the facts
in the case-tall the facts and nothing
but the facts. That the average ver-
dict is not based on a complete knowl-
edge of all the circumstances in any
given case reflects not so much upon
the system Of criminal law as upon
the abuses that have crept into it.
Some critics of the system argue
that the presumption of innocence
places the prosecution at a distinct
disadvantage. But the point of this
argument is blunted by the fact that
the prosecution adopts about the same
tactics as the defense. The state
proceeds on the assumption that the
defendant is guilty, and it labors just
as diligently to keep from the jury
and from the records incidental testi-
mOny that favors,the defendant as the
counsel for the defense strives to get
into the record everything that favors
their client and to bar whatever tends
to prove him guilty.
The presumption of innocence has
often been carried to unreasonable
extremes, but nevertheless it is a wise
precaution against the conviction OF
a defendant who is not guilty. Per-
haps the dangers which it was estab.
lisEed to guard against are not so i'm.
minent at this day and time. 1t Is a
survival Of a period when the man
who was accused was regarded as
guilty and the burden Of the proof OF
his innocence rested on him. The law
