The shades were drawn in the dor

he walked through the storeroom and

At the same moment the two cars

AS Barnum stepped aside for the

CONSPIRACY AND COERCION
Charges May Be Made Against Boss
Murphy Of Tammany.

Albany, n. Y, Aug. 16.-Men advis-

for the report that an attempt will be
made in Albany county to indict Tam
many Leader Murphy, Assembly
Speaker Smith and Assembly Leader
Levy for high treason.
Counsel for Governor Sulzer assert
they will show that these three con-
spired in coercing certain members Of
the assembly to vote an immediate
impeachment of the governor. They
claim it can be shown that Murphy
issued orders to his legislative lead

Albany, N. Y. Aug. 14.-With three
votes more than the required ma

impeached by the assembly for al
legged high crimes and misdemean'
ors" in connection with the cam
paign fund.
After an all night session. spent by
the majority in filibustering until
Tammany absentees could arrive. the
vote was taken at SIG a. M, result
sng in 10 for impeachment to As against.
The first impeachment of gov
ernor of New York state came close
on the heels of the most sensational
feature in the Sulzer-Murphy war
when Mrs. Sulzer told certain sena-
tors that she was responsible for the
Sulzer stock market deals and that
the governor knew nothing about it.
She offered to shoulder all blame.
Throughout the long night, while
tired assemblymen nodded in their
seats, the Tammany men, knowing
that they still lacked few votes
of the Is necessary to put through the
Levy impeachment resolution. kept
I'D a constant fire of speechmakins
and debate to prevent a recess.
Real Sensation Sprung.
1t was 2:30 a. m, after Aaron j.
Levy and other Tammany men had
talked for hours. ostensibly defending
the resolution, but in reality filibus-
tering to await the arrival of abb
sentees, that Minority Leader Hinman
eprang the real sensation.
He told the assembly that Mrs Sui
Zer had assumed the responsibility OF
the financial transactions and stock
market speculations charged against
Sulzer in the Frawley committees re-
Fort and was at that moment prepar-
ing a formal statement for submission
to the legislature.
Hinman said he was not certain
just what Mrs. Suffers statement
would be, explaining he had the facts
second hand from Senator A. J. Pal
aner of Kingston to whom the gov
ernor's lady made her alleged con-
fession.
; Humans announcement threw the
assembly into an uproar. Instantly
dozen men were on their feet. The
sleepy ones woke up and those who
had gone to corridors and committee
rooms, hurried in, thinking that the
crucial vote had been precipitated.
Palmer Confirms Story.
Meantime Senator Palmer corrobor-
ated Humans story and several
other senators admitted they had
heard such a report In the midst OF
the excitement iinman moved that
the assembly adjourn until it could
hear the statement of Mrs. SulZer
The motion was voted down, 13 to 49,
but the vote was a close call for
Tammany, showing that the organiZa-
tion still lacked three votes of the
number necessary to impeach.
After Humans motion for an ad-
iournment was voted down Levy
spoke for three solid hours, killing
time until an absentee could arrive
from Brooklyn. When finally the man
appeared there was hasty arousing
cf sleepers and counting of noses and
when the Tammany leaders were sat
fsfied that they had the required ma
FORTY on hand there was rush to
take the vote.
Over the feeble protests of the
minority the roll call began at sos
a. M. At 5: 16 it was complete and
William Sulzer stod impeached.

Control by Bullets or Dollars.

There seems to be in some European quarters still
strange misapprehenson of that most discussed
and thrashed out of all public documents the Mon
roe Doctrine This appears in the TACT that Tue
Presidents intimation that this country would not
countenance financial control Of an American state
by European power is exclair- ed upon as new
and startling development.
The doctrine of ninety years ago said explicitly
that the United States would view as the manifes-
tation of an unfriendy disposition not merely mill
tary oppression of any of its southern neighbors
but also any interposition for the purpose OF con
trolling in any other manner their destiny.
That phrase controlling in any other manner
certainly seems to he about as explicit and as com
prchensve as English speech could make it. Finan
cal control would he control just much as
military control 1t would be just as repugnant to
the underlying principle of the doctrine for Euro
pean power to purchase America. state with dol
lars as to conquer it with bullets.

Observing" the Affairs of Others.

The controversy over American relations to the
coming election in SantO Domingo strongly suggests
the extreme delicacy Of situations which may occur
in the application of Mr.. Wilson's policy of declin-
Ing TO recognize any Latin-American government
which he regards as unconstitutional. If our Presi-
dent is to be the judge of the legitimacy OF elections
in neighbOrng state it is obviously desirable for
him TO be accurately informed Of the manner in
which they are conducted as he be only through
the direct personal observation Of trustworthy
agents But may it not he embarrassing to send
such agents on such an GRAND?
Ii is explained that agents are being sent to Santo

A French Leaf from the British Book.

Mr. Dournergue's acceptance OF the French Pre-
mership probably means practical attempt TO re
model the national finances Of France somewhat
upon the British model. We may assume that Mr..
Caillaux's fiscal ideas will be followed by the new
ministry seeing that he is the most expert fnancier
on that side Of the house and that it was his
trenchant attack upon its loan proposals that turned
the scale against the Barthou Cabinet; and Mr.. Gail
laux is confcssedly ii believer in the fundamental
principles Of national finance advocated by Mr..
Winston Churchill and Mr. Lloyd George.
He holds, that is TO say, that larger proportion
of the nations revenue should be contributed by
the wealthy classes; particularly when at pres
ent there is an extraordinary demand for provid-
ing for national defence 1t is the rich who most
clamOr for the protection of their property; and
they should therefore, he holds, go furthest toward
meeting the bills 1t is to that end that he seeks
the adoption of a discriminating and graduated in
tax, and it partly because of the fear that
it would interfere with such tax that he opposed
another issue OF tax free rencs

expected to stand for another British principle,

a separate and independent matter but link
