Story of Transactions
Made Personally.

New York, Sept Ex-Governor Sui,
zer's transactions in Wall street from
June q, 1910, till they ceased on July
Ia last-at least so far as one firm Of
brokers was concerned-were describ-
ed under oath today by Melville d.
Fuller, who said he was Suffers brok-
err, in hearing held by the nine i'm
parchment managers appointed by the
assembly.
Mr.. Fuller, who before the Frawley
investigating committee refused to
testify concerning certain matters, to-
day answered all questions. He testi-
fled that Sulzer had paid him $4,000
in person within month and a day
after the last election and that he
(Fuller) had had no dealings with Mrs.
Sulzer
According to Fullers testimony, Sui
ger, while representative, opened an
account with his firm, Harris &
Fuller, June 27, 1910. In September,
Sulzer borrowed $4,000 from the firm,
giving as collateral 400 shares of Big
Four railroad stock.
On November 10, 1912, few days
after he was elected governor, Mr.. Full
Ter continued, Sulzer walked into the
office of Harris & Fuller, with ten
$1,000 dollar bills in his hand. These
he paid on his account, his indebted
ness owing to other transactions hav-
ing increased to $50,162. On December
6, Mr.. Fuller said, Governor-Elect Sui
ger paid in person $4,000 more in cash
on his account
On June 16, of this year, Suffers debt
to the brokers had been further re-
duced
Lieutenant Commander Josephthal
of Governor Suffers staff, visited the
office of Harris & Fuller on July 16,
last, Mr.. Fuller added, and closed the
account by paying the balance, $26, 1888.
Mr.. Josephthal received the stock left
by Sulzer as collateral. Josephthal pre-
scented an order which was produced
today. 1t was signed William Sulzer,
for Mrs. Sulzer."
Mr.. Fuller could give no explanation
of the words For Mrs. Sulzer,' he
said, as neither he nor his firm had
ever had any dealings with her.

Banana Eaters.

Americans used to be called a nation
Of pie eaters. Today more appro-
pirate term would be a nation of ba-
mana eaters. The United States takes
more than two-thirds Of the bananas
shipped to the handlers in the world
Part Of this prominence in banana
consumption is due to geography; the
source of supply on the Caribbean is
almost at our doors. Part Is due to
accident; Boston skipper introduced
the American public to this tropical

KEY WAS UNDER DOOR MAT
Important Information for Which Con-
ductor Of indianapolis Car Held
the Passengers.

The South East street car was hur-
rying on its way toward the end Of
the line. Near the ten hundred block
the single line branches out into a
switch. The cars slow up and the
passengers, generally known person
ally by the conductor, often have time
to exchange pleasantries as the cars
pass. A German woman was on the
car coming downtown the other day.
AS the car slid on the switch and
started to pass the other she got up
excitedly and waved toward the car
headed for the end of the line.
"Oh. Charlie! Oh, Charlie!" she
shouted at youth on the other
car, evidently her son, on his way
home. Charlie did not catch the sig
nal at first. and the cars gathered
speed.
Charlie! Charlie!" came the voice,
this time more insistent Then Char
lie looked around and saw the other
car going of the switch, with the
woman still waving excitedly.
The motorman was aroused by this
time and, thinking that the summons
was urgent, stopped the car and
Charlie jumped on and made a bee
line for mother.
She met him at the door. II just
wanted to say that the key Is under
the mat at the back door!" she yelled.
And Charlie jumped OF. waved at his
conductor and caught his car amid the
cheers of the other passengers.--In.

TAXES HALF COLLECTED.
City Treasurer Expects Rush in Last
Week Set for Annual Collection.

City Treasurer Martin Steinmetz is
getting ready for the grand rush of
the tax payers. There is just one
more week IN which to collect the
taxes and only half of the levy has
been paid in. There is still more than
$4,000 to be collected. Few of the
real large contributors to the funds
of the city have paid as yet, but the
treasurer expects that most of this
money will come N during the next
few days. There is still a Very large
number of income tax receipts to be
issued and it is feared that there will
be many of these on which the added
per cent will be charged. The treasur-
er is hoping that all taxes will be paid
within the time set by the law in
order that he may file his proper re-
ports with the county treasurer on
time. The Office is being kept open
every night with view of accommo-
dating the tax payers.
