NEW YORK, June IA story

Hearst $4,000. a personal loan. This
was put up to Mr.. Hearst tonight
He denied it. as follows:
1.-The statement that Governor Sui

a series of utter and absolute false
hoods devised by the men higher up
in criminal finance. and circulated by
the men lowest down in politics and
journalism.
Governor Sulzer does not owe me
a dollar. nor did he ever owe me a
dollar. I have never given him q
dollar, or loaned him a dollar. ] did
not even contribute directly or indi-
rectly to his campaign fund"

Where are some documents from
Governor Sulzer to support his long
story? He has not produced a single
shred Of evidence. while l fairly bris-

He Issues Reply.
Then the veteran lawyer issued
reply TO Governor Suffers statement.
In it the judge says that Mrs. Wat
SON got but $4,000 as her share In
her grandfather's estate, after the will
fight was ended. He offers to waive
the statute of limitations If sulzer
wants to sue him for the $4,000
fees. He points to the fact that while
ex-United States Attorney Frank
Plumleys admits the petition against
Sulzer. the governor goes on calling
it a forgery.
Sulzer never did any work for him.
says the Judge, nor did he put cent
into the Watson case, and IL Sulzer
got any money from his mother it
ger has asserted.
Sulzer never came and asked the
judge what he thought would be a
fair price for his service, the judge
continues. He had no part in the
whole affair except, Judge Curtis al
lows, that he may have read some
dispositions The judge says Sufzer
got into the case on pleading with
Curtis to permit him (Sulzer) to be
associated in the case. saying 1t would
give Sulzer prestige in his profess
sion.
Calls 1t Falsehood.
Judge Curtis denies Suffers story
that he wrote a scurrilous letter about
him to Joseph Pulitzer. The judge
invites Sulzer TO prove that his pa
pers are forged. and declares the
story that he offered to sell them Is
an 'atrocious falsehood."
The judges son, George Milton
Curtis. Jr.. called Suffers statement
that the perjury petition had been
used in an effort to get Curtis, Jr..
on the Supreme court bench. "a ma
licdous falsehood. and an Intentional
SANDER"

COUNTIES MAY NOT
GET HIGHWAY FUND
SEVERAL HELD NOT ENTITLED
TO FULL ALLOTMENT
FROM STATE.
PROVISIONS OF LAW IGNORED
Neglect of Freeholders to Petition
Their Town Boards for Specific I'm.
provements Makes the Receipt OF
Aid From State Doubtful.

Madison.-Chairman John A. Ha-
zelwood of the state highwsy commits
sion states that it is probable that
several of the counties in the south
ern part of the state would fail to get
their full allotment of the $1,000, 600
appropriated by the legislature for
state aid for highway construction
this year because freeholders have
failed to petition their town boards
asking for the improvement of speci-
fed roads.
The chairman said, however, that
many freeholders We're now taking
advantage of the so-called Force"
provision of the highway law which
enables them to compel the improve
ment of any portion of the county sys-
tenn of roads by fling a petition with
the town board requesting that the
improvements be made, together with
a receipt from the town treasurer
showing that so per cent of the
towns share of the estimated cost
of the improvement has been paid.
Under this provision any group of
freeholders who offer to pay one
sixth of the cost of an improvement
can compel the town. county and
state to pay the remaining five-sixths.
These petitions must be fled with
the town boards before Aug. Is.
Chairman Hardwood is making a
tour of the southern part of the state
by automobile in order to inspect inn
provements now being made and to
explain to freeholders that their
counties are likely to lose their full
allotment of state aid unless they
act before Aug. Is
He said that the commission ex-
pected there would be 1000 miles of
new road built in the state during the
present year, which, when finished.
Will make total of 800 miles con-
strueted under supervision of the
commission.

Washington. Aug. 4.-The Demo

than FIVE weeks of continuous and
stormy discussion.
The bill was ordered closed and re-
printed. and on Monday the Demo
cratic committee members win take a
formal vote recommending the meas
ure to the Democratic caucus.
The bin differs little in it's essen
tails from the administration measure
framed by Representative Glass, Chair
man Owen and Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo and approved by
President Wilson. The complete gov
eminent control of the federal reserve
board which will direct the new bank.
ing and currency system. deemed by
the president the all-important factor
of the bill was retained
At the eleventh hour the Democratic
members of the committee ineorpora-
ted an amendment providing for an
advisory board of bankers to advise"
the federal reserve board This amend
ment was in the nature of compro-
mise with the banking interests. which
protested vigorously against the ex-
clusively governmental feature OF the
control of the board
Another important amendment in
corporated in the bill altered the re-
discount section comforting the power
to require federal reserve banks to
mutually redscount paper. A change
was made in the division of the earn
tugs of the federal reserve banks Gre
ated by the law AS amended, the bal
ance of earnings after the five per
cent. dividend and the 20 per cent.
surplus will be paid, go per cent to the
government to be used as a sinking
fund to reduce the national debt, and
40 per cent. to be divided among the
member hanks
In the reserve section the commit
tee reduced the period during which
a bank must hold % per cent. re-
serve against deposits from 26 months
to so days. AS finally passed the re-
serve section requires that after a
period of gradual changes the country
banks must keep their Is per cent. re-
serves either in their own vaults or in
the federal reserve bank of the district
in which they are located.
BY a vote of seven to five, the con-
ference struck from the bin a provi-
sion previously ordered inserted for
bidding interlocking directories be-
tween banks. It was stricken out on
representations that the president be-
lieved it should be considered apart
from general currency legislation
The so-called insurgent amendments
to the bill providing for currency on
warehouse receipts for cotton, corn
and wheat were voted down by viva
voce vote, with little discussion.
