 tai Receipts $344,424,453.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The wealth of gold and silver and paper money filling the vaults of the federal treas ury is due in no small measure to the record-breaking drinking, smoking and card playing of the American peo- pie during the fiscal year 1913. De- tails of the sources of the $344, ,424, ,453 collected in internal revenue taxes during the year ended June 30-the greatest in the history of the country were disclosed in a report to Sec retary McAdoo by William H. Osborn, commissioner of internal revenue
 The 143, 3,220,000 gallons of whisky and brandy consumed brought in 57,542, ,000; the 65,246,000 barrels of beer, porter and ale, amounting to 2,0S7, ,S72,O00 gallons, netted the gov ernment $65, ,246,000; the 14,276,771,0 ,000 cigarettes smoked increased the reve- nues by $17,S46,000; the 7,699, 9,03S,000 cigars puffed away benefited Uncle Sam to the extent of $23,097,000; the chewing and smoking of 404, 4,363,000 pounds of tobacco gave him $32,- 349 OO0; taxes on 33,209,00O pounds of snuff amounted to $2,657,O00, and the sale of 32,764,155 packs of playing cards, an increase of 1,952,475 over the previous year, brought $655,2S3.
 Taxes on 4,172,00O pounds of arti- ficially colored oleomargarine amount ed to $410,000, and on 138,9S6,000 pounds of uncolored oleomargarine to S347,000. This showed an aggregate increase of 16,906,000 pounds in the consumption of oleomargarine, com- pared with last year. The use of 3S,- 472,000 pounds of process, or reno vated, butter, a decrease of S,276,000 pounds, gave the government s97, 900.
 The aggregate number of saloons in the country this year was 94,590, a decrease, despite the increased con sumption of intoXicants, of 1854. As compared with the> fiscal year 1912, wholesale liquor dealers numbered 6.452. a decrease of 600 within year
 Total internal revenue receipts of 1913 exceed the previous record of 1911 by $21 ,9S9 ,000, and the collec- tions of 1912 by $22,S09,000.

"l deny that l used any campaign contributions for personal use.
 Il deny that l speculated in Wall street or used money contributed for campaign purposes to buy stock, eith- CT in my own name or otherwise.
 T never had an account with Fuller X Gray or Boyer x Griswold. I never heard of these firms, do not know the members and knew nothing about the transactions with these firms testified to be fore the Frawley committee, un- til recently threatened with exposure and the alleged transactions were brought to my attention by the Fraw- ley committee. The stock matter with Harris X Fuller was not specula- tive account or matter, but a loan made upon stock as collateral, which stock had been acquired and paid for years before my nomination for the office of governor and from other sources than Harris & Fuller.
 Certain checks given to me for campaign purposes were deposited for my personal account and thereafter 1 paid the checks to my campaign com mittee and in filing my statement of disbursements to the secretary of state l relied on information furnished me by the persons in charge of my campaign and in whom l had and have the most implicit confidence, and believe the statement furnished by them to me to be accurate and true"

made public will be revealed ac,a. i ing to administration officials here. and foreign governments will be an. prised constantly of the various stens taken by the United States. This may not take place, however, for several days
 President Wilson has had no direct communications either with the liner. ta government or the Constitutional. ist authorities, and he indicated to his callers that he would welcome more information about the purpose of the Constitutionalists
 It was learned also that the presi. dent has not yet formally considered recognition of the beligerency of the Constitutionalists, but that insofar as territory alone is concerned he re. garded that held by the Constitution alists as strong enough in proportion to that controlled by the Huerta gov. ernment as to make recognition of the Constitutionalists not wholly uniusti- liable from diplomatic standpoint
 Senator Bacon, chairman of the sen. ate committee on foreign relations. declared that President Wilson was facing "a great responsibility in the present situation and had the hearty support and cooperation not only of the foreign relations committee, but of members of the senate generally, regardless of party lines.

Albany, Aug. 12.-The brief state ment given out by Gov. Sulzer, after protracted conference, in which he denies having speculated in Wall street, but admits having made tenn porary use of some of the campaign contributions, has stimulated curiosity as to what attitude the governor will take toward the threatened impeach- ment proceedings which are expected as result of the Frawley legislative committees preliminary report to the legislature tonight.
 In view of the governors firm con- tention that the present legislature has ceased to exist, the opinion is ex- pressed by some of his supporters that an effort will be made to block the program of his opponents through some legal process, notwithstanding the contrary opinion by Attorney-Gen- eral Carmody.
 Legal Entangements.
 It is pointed out that if the govern ors attorneys advise any means of procuring cognizance of this matter by any judicial tribunal, whatever the finding of such tribunal might be, the logical outcome would be to carry the case to the court of appeals, and, as the judges of this court are also made by the constitution an essential part of the court of impeachment, it would hn iv,,v loo Lln this capacity until the judicial pro- ceedings were finally settled, Even if the final adjudication should be ad- verse to the governor it would great ly delay an impeachment trial, and, unless especially expedited, the issue might not be determined before a new assembly qualities.
 The statement from Sulzer was is- sued at the conclusion of a five-hour conference at the executive mansion, when all phases of the plight into which the Frawley committee has forced him were gone over with the utmost care. One by one the various allegations of the committee were con- py Ol ANcW York, who has been retained to act for the governor. D. Cady Herrick of Albany, who will assist Marshall in defense of the governor, was another member of the conference.
 The most important parsonage pres ent from the standpoint of the Fraw- ley committee was Louis A. Sarecky, who handled the governors campaign money, and who refused to answer questions regarding funds when a wit ness before the Frawley committee. Tammany foemen of Sulzer, on read ing the answer, declared it indicated that Sarecky is to be made the goat" that, in other words, if any odium is attached to the method of handling the campaign contributions, Sarecky is to bear it.
 It has been a matter of common gos- sip in Albany ever since Sarecky took the stand and defed the committee that he was preparing to shoulder

 fable, Is Wilson Opinion.

Washington, Aug. 12.-President Wilson let it be known that he was inclined to believe there was an or. ganized desire-proceeding from sources unknown to him--to bring on a war between the United States and Mexico. The president does not re- gard the movement as extensive, but as very troublesome, and referred to misrepresentations in some individual newspapers. He indicated that he shared somewhat the views of Sen ator Williams, who declared in a speech that an organized lobby exist ed to involve the United States in war
 There is no occasion for alarm, in the opinion of the president, who told callers that within the last AS hours the Mexican situation had improved materially It was made clear by the president to those with whom he dis. cussed the situation that the instruc. tions to John Lind, his personal repre-. sentative, were chiefly to inform the American government how things stood generally in Mexico, and just what were the opportunities for the good offices of the United States in the interest of peace.

 Sooner or later, it was pointed out, Lind will make certain suggestions to the Huerta government through the American embassy. but in just what circumstances has not yet been fully determined upon. Anything in the suggestions that may properly be
