RYAN GAVE TO FUND
PROSECUTION IN IMPEACHMENT
TRIAL SPRINGS SURPRISE
WHEN CASE Is CALLED.
FINANCIER'S SON ON STAND
Lawyers Have Protracted Wranule
Over Admission of Testimony,
Which is Finally Admitted by
Judge CoIfax's Order.

Albany, n. Y, Oct. THE prose
cution In the impeachment trial OF
Governor William Sulzer sprung a sur
prise on the defense by asking the
court for permission TO reopen its
case and present more testimony.
In preceding his request Attorney
Stanchfield stated that the new testi
mony was Of great Importance, and
had come to the attorneys for the
board of managers since Thursday
last. He said that he wanted to cal
four witnesses.
WrangIe Over Ryan Testimony.
The first of these was Allen A.
Ryan, son of Thomas F. Ryan, the
financier. He was questioned by Mr..
Stanchfield, who was apparently de
sirous Of securing information about
a $4,000 contribution. When Mr..
Stanchfield asked if Ryan had had a
telephone talk about the middle of Oc-
tober, 1912, with Mr.. Sulzer. there
was a long wrangle over the admissi-
bility of this evidence.
Chief Judge Cullon admitted the evil
dence. saying that it would not be
considered as having any weight IN
less it really had a direct bearing
upon the articles of impeachment.
Il can't recollect exactly what the
conversation was" said Mr.. Ryan
when allowed to answer.
Said SuIzer Got $4,000.
Ignatius V. McGIone, private secre-
tary of Thomas F. Ryan, took the
stand after Ryan had been excused
temporarily. McGlone testified that
he met Sulzer at lis Broadway and
what the governor said he was going
out to make a personal campaign and
would give him no money until he
talked with somebody else"
This somebody else" proved to be
Allan A. Ryan. Sulzer then received
$4,000 from McGlone.
McGlone said that he went to see
Sulzer after he saw somebody else
and handed the governor $4,000 in
ten bills. The governor told him that
if he, McGlone, was ever in Albany
he wanted him to come and see him.
The governor also desired McGlone to
express his thanks to Allan Ryan for
him, said McGlOne.
Allan Ryan, recalled, told Of a con-
~versation with Governor Sulzer in
which the governor had asked him to
see Senator Root and Chairman Will
liam Barnes, Jr.. and get their inlu-
ence to check the Republican assem-
blyman from ~impeaching him. This
testimony was stricken out.
SuIzer Sought Aid Of Root.
Ryan testified that Sulzer requested
him to go to Washington and ask Sen.
ator Root to use his influence to get
William Barnes to attempt to induce
Republican senators Of the impeach.
ment court to hold that the impeach.
men proceedings were invalid.

OF course, the Tech game was their
big game of the season, and they
made the most of it. But if any body
thinks the Floridians are hopelessly
outclassed in football they had best go
down and take a side glance at that
bunch of wildcats.
VET for all these explanations Tech
played ppointingly. Their
work was not up to standard. True,
the men regarded the trip more or less
in the light of a holiday excursion,
but they came to their senses quickly
enough before the first quarter was
over; and yet they had about as much
difficulty putting the Florida boys
away in the last quarter as they had
in the first.
1t all goes to show once more what
has so often been said before-that
no matter how PROMISING mate
rial may be, 1t takes a year or two
for football promise to develop into
something like a performance. The
Florida game was a good thing for
Tech, as it was stiff enoufih to teach
H. lot of football, yet resulted in no
bad injuries. Referee Penton and UNI
pire Woodruff, both of whom had seen
the Florida team in their game
against Auburn, declared that never
had they seen a team improve so
much in three weeks as had the lads
from Gainesville.

Better Arrangement
For Seats Hereafter
At Jacket Battles

The Tech authorities have arranged

Tech Sewanee game at Grant Field
tomorrow afternoon, and will follow
it up for the other games this season
as they are confident that the foot
ball fans will find the arrangement
satisfactory.
One dollar general admission will
entitle the purchaser to a seat in the
wooden stands on the east side of the
field or standing room along any of
the outside side lines.
The reserved seats will be % cents
and so cents extra, the first few rows
in the concrete stands being 80 cents
and those back 25 cents. Each seat
will have coupon and there will be
ushers to seat the people.
Every person buying reserved seat
at the Tech game for the remainder
this season will be assured of his seat
He can purchase his reserved seat and
show up at the game at any time that
he is mind to, just as he would at
a theater, and he will be certain of
getting the seat that he purchased.
The grandstand has been rearranged
and blocked off and all the seats num-
bered. The general admission and re-
served seat tickets can be purchased

4 TRAVELLING salesman, some
II what of a kidder in a quiet

this past summer. Leaving the sta
ton, he asked several persons where
the Confederate Capitol was located,
and where was the house In which
Joe Boehling lived. Nine OF the ten
persons questioned knew all about the
home OF Boehling and but one knew
where the site of the one time Can
3tol was-and to make things even eX-
planned that he did not know Boeh-
ling, that the town was getting too
full of strangers
The Boehling asked about was the
young man who made baseball his
tory with the Washington American
League team the past season. He is
q pitcher, a very sensational one for
a verttable kid, and his fame has
spread all over the country in one
year. or course, at his home town,
Richmond, he had gained little
fame before he got out of the semi
pro ranks, but It was with the SEN
ators in 1918 that he really achieved
fame.
Came Close TO Record.
In the last season Boehling won
