Calls Chancellor Jury
Bill a Step Backward

Board of Works Commissioner Pat
rick II. Ryan, Freebooter Candidates
Louis Lewis and p. Allen Smith, of
Orange; Assembly Candidates Law
renee McCabe, jr., James r. Byrne,
Michael j. Quigley, Simon L. F'isch
and Charles A. Nutting addressed a
meeting which took the form of re-
ception to the Democratic candidates
at the clubhouse of the John Il.
Monahan Association 400 Market
street, last night.
Assemblymen McCabe and Nutting
appealed to the voters to vote against
the so-called chancellor jury bill,
which comes before the people cleo
ton day. The legislators character
lied the bill as q step backward. Mr..
McCabe declared that it would be, a
step that would tend toward the dark
days when such things existed as
the convict ship Success, and said
that organized labor was unalterably
opposed to such a bill.
= The charge that Acting Governor
Fielder and the Democratic party
were attempting to break down the
safeguards of the civil service law
was answered last night by As
semblyman Simon L. Fisch, candi-
date for reelection, who said on this
point:
ut is charged that the Democratic
party Is attempting to break down
civil service law, because at the last
session of the Legislature 1t complied
with the recommendations of the
economy and efficiency commission.
While it is true that these appoint
ments are exempt from civil service,
I pledge you that II you send me
back to the Legislature I will vote
to place these positions in the civil
service class. The people of this State
know that civil service has no better
friend than the Democratic party"
The speaker further charged that
c. Stokes, while member of
the Senate. fought every measure
which in any way might compel the
railroads % give adequate service or
to contribute their proper share of
taxes.
President of the Common Council
John H. Donnelly, who is acting
mayor of the city at the present
time, presided. Besides the candi-
dates mentioned addresses were also
made by F. Joseph Schmelz, candi-
date of the Fifth ward for alderman,
and Sheriff John F. Monahan, the
standard bearer of the association.

and Bailiff.

ALBANY, \. Y. Oct. 1S.-William
Sulzer. twenty minutes after he had

moval from office, gave to the public
statement in which he denounced
his trial as a lynehing and declared
that Charles F. Murphy was judge,

him as prime minister.
Had | but served the boss with
half the zeal l did the State William
Srlzer would never have been i'm
peached," was the keynote of the
statement.
Wolsey's words were:
Had l but served my God with
half the zeal served my king, He
would not now abandon me in my
old age"
Sulzer asserts:
That Murphy began war on him
when he refused to call off the In
|vestigation of graft by which the
State had lost millions of dollars.
That he never speculated in stocks.
That he did not appropriate cam
:paign contributions TO mis- own use.
4 tees all of the money he collected.
That he is poorer today then he
ever was in his life.
That he was in debt $4,000 when
he became a candidate for Governor.
That Duncan w. Peck and Allan
+ A. Ryan falsely testified against him.
That the proceedings of the court
were held in secret.
4 That he was lynched by an Assem-
Ibly and a Senate controlled by
ICharles F. Murphy whom he charged
4 with writing the ultimate verdict.
The. former Governor also declares
|kis purpose to go on the lecture plat
form.
The statement follows:

The matter served to illustrate, as
had been intended, the uAtoll re-
sources that Lee county lands pos
sess. At this time it is, unusual to
find this large a body oftimheF that
has never been sawed or turpen-
tined in this section OF the state.
Probably few counties near Lee can
boast Of that much timber on asin-
gle plantation, while some probably
cannot boast Observation-Disclosures in

More and more rapidly are the
excellent advantages afforded by
Lee county becoming known throu-
ghout Georgia andthe entire South.
The number-of inquiries being con-
SANITY received here shows that
public interest is centered upon Lee
county as never before in its his :
tory. 1t will probably not be long
before this large body Of timber is
either turpentined Oh sawed, hut
there are other bodies Of timber in
this COUNTY as large. or evenlarger,
than that referred to in the forego-
ing paragraph. As, the timber is
sawed and cleare,I away, immi-
grants come in and settle upon the
rich land, which is just what Lee
county needs n1ost now. 1t is we'll
enough to be able to boast as Lee
county's some of the richest natural
resources of Georgia. but it is even
better to be able to show that these
resources are being properly deve-
loped year after year, which is also
true Of lee county.
