COUNTY MULE is
KILLED BY CAR
Street Car Struck Valuable Animal at
Sixth Avenue and Elm
Street Yesterday.

A mule belonging to the county was
struck and killed by westbound car
Yesterday afternoon at 5: 45 o'clock, on
West Sixth avenue, near Elm street.
The mule killed was being led with
rope by Walter Davis, a negro, who
was riding the mate of the animal kill
ed. and the motorman on the car ap-
preaching the team sounded his gong.
This frightened the mule and the me-
gro, to gain better control of the ami
NAL. dismounted and tried to get the
mule out of the way, but instead OF be-
ing successful, the animal backed in
front of the car. Motorman Epperson
set his brakes but the car struck the
mule with such force as to crush In
the front of the vestibule and knock
the animal to the pavement, the car
running on top of the animal. In some
manner the mule kicked hole IN the
platform of the car, as the car crush
ed the mule under it's front platform.
The animal was valued at $3.50. The
car was loaded with passengers at
the time of the accident, and for Few
moments great excitement prevailed.

Glynn's Paper Says it is
Last Desperate Effort of
Deposed Governor,
4 BANKERS PARDON
Is Used BY Sulzer to Determine His
Authority AS Acting
Governor.

Albany, n. v, Sept. 3.-"The move
is the last desperate effort of Gov
ernor Sulzer to prevent his case
going to trial before the court of i'm
parchment. failing in which he even
tually hopes to refuse to go through
the trial, resign and go to the peo-
pile
This declaration appeared in black
tpye in acting Governor Glyans
newspaper tonight, soon after a
prolonged conference between him
and Attorney General Carmody. At
the conference it was arranged that
tomorrow all the state and county
legal machinery shall be concentrat-
ed before Justice Hasbrouck at
Kingston to prevent the release from
prison of Banker Robbins, through
which the impeachment governor
hopes to regain his title Immediately.
1t was agreed that Deputy Attorney
General John Norton, once counsel
for the Sulzer-C Carlisle Committee,
should unite with Assistant District
Attorney Clake, of, New York County,
and urge the Supreme Court to deny
the application for the freedom of
the prisoner, whom Sulzer is using
to secure his oMn rehabilitation.
This, they will do tomorrow a;
Kingston grounds:
That Glynn and not Sulzer is
acting governor.
That Sulzer possessed no authori-
ty to grant the pardon.
That SulZer was suspended from
the exercise of his office the moment
he was impeached
That from the moment Glynn be-
came acting governor he has and is
entitled to perform all the functions
of that office.
Acting Governor Glynn declined to
discuss the dispute for publication.

FESTUS J. WADE
ASSERTS HIMSELF
St. Louis Banker Tells Sena-
tors That Big Banks Will
Ignore Currency Bill.
FORCE MEASURE
House Committee Reports Bill With
out Amendment and IL VIII
BE Passed.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Festus j.
Wade. the 81 Louis banker, today told
the senate committee on banking and
currency that the big national banks
of the country would have nothing to
do with the proposed regional reserve
bank system, provided for In the adj
ministration measure unless amend
ed, The statement was made in such
a way as to be construed as a threat.
Mr. Wade characterized the measure
as force bill" He condemned its
compulsory feature and urged that it
be changed so that the banks would
be asked to allow to come and would
be anxious to be in 1t.
He declared the banks did not want
to put their money into the regional
reserve banks and would not do it
willingly.
Sol Wexler, Of New Orleans, con-
Guiding testimony begun yesterday. al
so told the committee that very few
of the small banks would surrender
their federal charters.
"The reserves of the country" said
Mr. WcXler should be held in one big
reservoir where they are readily ac-
ccssiblc, rather than be scattered in
many little piles throughout this
country where they can be eoJy.rtSY'
service when needed to the country in
general"
Both witnesses today endeavored to
convince the committee of the advan-
tages of a central reserve bank.
The House committee on banking
and currency tomorrow will report the
administration bill without change in
the House and Underwood will take
charge of it's passage.

ARE THE POWERS
BACKING WILSON?
Washington Hears Different
News But it is Not Con-
firmed.
LOANS ARE INVOLVED
Huerta Guarding All the Seaport
Towns in Mexico i'm Case Of
An Attack.

Washington, Sept. 3.--Of the very
important news that European ma
lions are suggesting to this govern
ment the recognition of Huerta in
order to secure the loans made and
to be made to him by foreign bankers,
the White House and the State De-
partment profess that they know
nothing.
Other officials, however, in the
absence of Secretary Bryan who left
again today OF lecture tour to
Eastol, Marland, admit that the sug-
gestion is of the highest significance,
because at first blush it seems to
contradict the attitude of the powers
as understood by President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan which was that
foreign nations represented in MeXi-
co City We're Gin sympathy with the
policy of President Wilson, as de-
clared in his message.
1t is admitted by the officials that
the reported seal of the foreign
foreign powers is plainly justifiable
by those powers by reason of the vast
financial interests Of France, Eng
land and Germany in the Republic of
Mexico for which they have only
three means of protections-th Unit
ed States, their own armies and
navies, or Huerta.
The new situation, therefore is one
of surprised alarm to the diplomacy
of the State Department. The
records in the way of maps and re-
ports at the War Department and
new opinions of officer suppressed to
the International News Service today
all tend to show that Huerta is be-
coming master of the military situa-
ton in Mexico. The information at
the War Department today is that
Huerta has at least three thousand
troops in the central part of Mexico,
and that he is safeguarding all the
seaport towns. By this means he is
not only preventing the possible SNUG.
Cling of arms to the Constitutional
lists, but he is also holding those
ports for the concentration of troops
in case of attack which would only
be possible by those ports. Huerta
has thrown troops all along the line
of the Tehuantetec railroad from
Salina Cruz to Porto Mexicano.
This safeguards both ports and pre-
vents the advance of the bandits from
the Southern part of Mexico to the
North. Huerta also, according to
the War Department maps, is con-
centrating at or near Juarez and none
of the officials believe that there is
any danger of junction between
Carranza and the Southern rebel
forces.
