YEAGER CONVICTED
OF MANSLAUGHTER

Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 13.-After
celebrating for "a hours, the jury
brought in a verdict at 9 o'clock this
morning finding William Yeager
guilty Of m~anslaughter in the second
degree, on account of the recent killing
of kid" Ross at the home of the MUIR
deerd mans wife in Lead.
Yeager formerly was a resident Of
Sioux City, Ia, and played baseball
there. He now has a brother connected
with the Sioux City fire department.
and a sister residing there.
There had been no denial made OF
the fact that Yeager shot and killed
Ross, although the state had difficulty
in proving this, because Of the friendly
disposition shown by most of the Wit
nesses toward the defendant.
1t vas the claim OF the defense that
Yeager interviewed when Ross started
to abuse his wife, from whom he had
been estranged. It was claimed that
Ross made a move as If to draw a gun
and that Yeager hen shot and killed
him.
Ross was unarmed, as 1t developed,
and the state tried to show a frame
up" between Mrs. Ross and Yeager to
get rid of the husband.

SPEED MANIA BLAMED
FOR WRECK HORRORS
Engineers Tell Officials They
Sacrificed Safety for
Prompt Service.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 15.-An Of
icial committee Of locomotive engi-
neers told the management of the New
Haven today what they considered the
trouble with he road.
Too much pressure for speed" Is
their complaint. The committees
statement in part Is:
why does not the New Haven go
back to the conditions prior to the fall
of 1911. without attempting these pro-
posed radical changes In relation to its
engineers? Under the same rules OF
operation, the New Haven from 1901
to 1911 was as safe as any in the
country. The present seniority rule"
was made in 1901. The personnel Of
the engineers is virtually the same to-
day as Immediately prior to 1911.
For eight years, or thereabouts, the
New Haven vas operated safely. 1t
carried more than 500, 600, 900 persons
without one fatality. In the fall OF
1911 came a change. Henry J. Horn,
general manager, ordered that engi-
neers make time. Time must be
made the order read. If an engineer
was a minute late he was lacked up.
The first time his engine ran by a sig
nal h engineer was summarily dis
missed.
The ambition was to make a rec
ord of trains on time over any railroad
in the country. The orders put out in
the fall of 1911 made New Haven

made up his mind to run for the sena-
torship in Iowa in opposition to Sen
ator Cummins is recognized as a fact
by members OF the delegation. MI.

ment. but admits he is studying the,

cratic nomination and relies on a di-
vision of the opposition forces to elect
him.
Close democratic friends Of Mr..
Pepper said today that he is already at
work lining up support throughout the
state. Judge Wade is aiding him. Sc
far as possible the Iowa patronage Is
beine handled to aid Mr.. Peppers
cause.
1t is possible that If later Develop
ments should make the democratic
n in low seem slim, Mr.. Pepper
would gig back on his present plans,
preferring to hold the lower house job.
Just now, however, he is laying the
foundation. He relies on his position
as secretary Of the democratic con-
gressional committee to furnish mas
terial assistance.

TO EMPHASIZE PENALTY
FOR FALSE ASSESSMENT

Des Moines. Ia.. Sept. 15.-Assessment
rolls, the blanks on which property
owners list their property, will next
year carry printed thereon at least that
part of the code of Iowa which specif-
cally makes the rendering of false
statements as to property the crime of
perjury. The discovery has been made
h a in very few counties of the state
have the orders of the state tax COM
lnission-the executive council-been
complied with by county officials. Tho
result has been that assessment work
is not being done in accordance with
law. An effort will be made to have the
blanks SO printed they will be a rea!
help to assessors in getting correct lists
of property.
Not only has the executive council
almost unlimited authority over assess
lnent matters, but the county account
ing department can specify forms for
all blanks used by counties. 1t appears
that it is the custom in many counties
to make the duplicate and original as
sessnnent roll blanks just alike. This,
also, is found to be not in accord with
law.

WOMAN WHO SHOT LOVER
DECLARED NOT INSANE

Council Bluffs, Ia, Sept 15.-Tressie
Russell. the colored woman who killed
her sweetheart, Earl Stone, in self
defense some weeks ago, is not insane.
So declares the county board Of in
sanity commissioners, after the wom-
an had been confined at st. Bernard's
hospital for a week.
a few days after the murder, the
negress began to act queerly. spending
considerable time in the room which
she and Stone had occupied. She
frequently was possessed of the de-
fusion that he woul rturn to her. The
matter was brought to the attention
of the commission by her friends and
she was committed to the hospital for
observation.
No indictment has been returned
by the grand jury thus far against the
Russell woman. In spite of the fact
that the coroner's jury held that she
had shot stone in self defense, it is
likely that the case will be presented
to the grand jury for action.

$4,000 CAMPAIGN
GIFT is MISSING

New York, Sept. 15.-The assembly
board of managers for the impeach-
ment of Governor SulZer announced
today that Charles Dersch, a salesman
testified privately that he had col
lected nearly $4,000 for Suffers cam
paign, which was not accounted for
by the governor in his statement of
campaign contributions.
The announcement was made by AS
semblyman Aaron j. Levy. chairman
of the board of managers, when the
board met to continue it's investiga-
lions for the purpose of gathering evi-
dence for the prosecution at the inn
parchment trial. Mr.. Dersch was one
of the witnesses called yesterday, but
at his request he was allowed to give
his testimony in private.
The $4,000, Mr. Levy said, had been
collected from the brewing and malt
Ing interests.
This is the most sensational evil
dence we have got yet" said Mr.. Levy.
He declined to give details of Dersch's
testimony which will be laid before the
impeachment trial.
Melville d. Fuller, a broker. who be-
fore the FraWley committee refused to
testify concerning certain matters, an
swered all questions today. He testi-
fled that Sulzer had paid him $4,000
In person within a mont and a day
after the last election and that he
(Fuller) had had no dealings with
Mrs. Sulzer.
Rumor of Resignation.
Mr.. Levy said that a prominent New
York lawyer who had been a close
friend of Sulzer for 25 years had come
to him today direct from Albany, with
his question:
IF Governor SulZer should resign.
would the impeachment proceedings
be dropped?"
Levy said he replied that he had no
authority to stop them.
As his personal opinion, Mr.. Levy
said he did not believe Governor Sui
ger would eve stand for trial. He
declined to give the name of the New
York lawyer who had asked him the
above question. He added, however:
This man., a former office holder,
called to see me this morning. In his
opinion. Governor Sulzer will never
come to trial. He asked me If 1 would
consider recommending a man like
Alton b. Parker to go to Sulzer and
take proofs of the charges against him
that we have and advise him to resign
and save himself from the indignity
and humiliation of a trial l said OF
course / could not do that
Mr.. Levy was asked IL he did not
think Governor Sulzer already knew
what these proofs were.
mo, he does not" was the reply.
Congressman Jefferson M. Levy,
who succeeded Sulzer in congress
when he became governor, called at the
office of the impeachment managers
today and was examined in private by
f1sidor Kresel, he managers attorney.
The Impeachment managers would
not say just what they expected to
unearth regarding Suffers record in
his old congressional district.
