B. MOOSERS DENY
MERCER OF PARTY
Chairman Says Talk of Republi.
cans Nominating Roosevelt
Is to Injure Him.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Progressive
leaders today denounced the republi-
cans for attempting to "discredit"
Theodore Roosevelt by intimating that
they would select him for the repub-
lican presidential candidate in 1916
The bull moose heads declared that
any amalgamation with the republi-
cans would be impossible.
Representative Hinebaugh, chair
man of the progressive congressional
committee, said:
I'VE will act just as the democratic
party or the republican party acts,
maintaining that we have a party, and
have to prepare for the congressional
campaign next year and the presiden-
tial campaign three years from now.
Progressive organizations are work
ing now whenever there is an election.
The party participated in the congress.
sional fight in Maine. Next week l
leave for Illinois to take part in a
campaign for supreme court justice.
"All this talk about merging is by
reactionary republicans.
AS a third party the progressives
obtained a number of committee ap-
pointments. This is one reason why
some congressman will resist ANAL
gamation."

ARMIES MAY AGREH

brouck of the New York supreme court
testing the validity of the pardon
granted by Governor Sulzer to Robin,
involving the vital constitutional ques-
ton as to who is governor of this
state, were surprised at the wonderful
forensic ability of General Tracy. The
general argued that the pardon was
valid, that SulZer was the real gov
ernor of New York, and, although he
was unsuccessful, it was agreed that
his argument was as strong as any
that could have been presented
General Tracy was born in 1880 and
admitted to the bar in 1851. From 1853
until 1859 he was district attorney of
Tioga county He was one of the or
ganizers of the Republican party in
New York and was elected TO the
New York legislature in 1862. In the
latter year he enlisted in the Civil
war Rising from one rank to another,
he was made brigadier-general IN
March, 1865, for gallant and meri-
torious services during the war"
Returning to his native state he was
United States district attorney for the
eastern district of New York, 1868.
He was judge of the New York court
of appeals, 1882. and secretary of
the navy in the cabinet of President
Harrison, 1898. Since the latter
year he has practiced law in New
York city.

iaI Session Cannot Le-

ACT Is A JUDICIAL ONE
Albany Hearing Being Followed
by an Army of University
Representatives.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 22.-In the re-
sumption today of the Sulzer impeach-
ment trial, Attorney Marshall resum-
ed his argument, unfinished Friday,
holding that Governor Sulzer was un-
constitutionally impeached. He quot
ed precedent to show that the assem-
bly, that impeached the governor was
in special session and was entitled to
consider only subjects called to its at
tention by the governor and that the
impeachment matter had not been
brought up. He argued the assembly
exercised not a judicial, but a legis-
lative function, and that impeachment
was equal to an indictment.
Judge Parker, on behalf of the
board of impeachment managers, re.
piled to Marshall, and held that the
impeachment of Sulzer was a judi
Cial proceeding, and not in any sense
legislative. The sole power of i'm
parchment, he said was vested in the
assembly, and this without restraint
as to time. place or circumstance.
While attorneys and newspaper men
are working their way through the
Sulzer impeachment trial small army
of representatives of law schools and
universities all over the world are
following the case closely and prepar-
ing exhaustive reports. These men
have been attracted because of the
few precedents which attorneys have
cited in the case of impeachment. Not
since 1906 has there been an impeach-
ment case in England, and only seven
on record in the United States. Many
points which are being covered in the
SulZer trial have never been raised in
previous cases. Long weeks have been
spent by attorneys on both sides and
members of the court of appeals study
ing every phase of all past impeach-
ment cases There was no morning
session of the court today. The re-
sumption of argument by Attorney
Marshall of Sulzer counsel was set for
o'clock.
Hearing in the case of James A. Gar
rison, Suffers graft investigator, now
/ imprisoned for contempt of the assem-
bly, is announced for this afternoon at
