special by Ilnitea Press Wire.


Liverpool, Oct. IA Officials of
the Uranium line we're today pre-
pairing to urge a rigid investigation
of the burning of the liner Volturno
on the theory that it was deliberate
ly set ablaze as a part of fight to
put the line out of business. Cap
tain Tinsly, of the Royal Naval Re-
serve, manager of the Uranium line,
declared that he had received many
threatening letters. Just before the
Volturno sailed, he received an an
onymous communication declaring:
"One of your boats will be burned
If you do not listen to our de-
mands."
Tingsly paid no attention to the
letter. In addition to the war
against the line because of the low
rates for which it carried Immigrants
there has been trouble with the
crews. The officers of the boats are
English, but the seamen Scotch and
Belgian. Captain Tinsly has been
trying to man the vessels with Eng
lish seamen and this has resulted
In bitterness. He believes bomb
was exploded in the hold of the yes
sell
The Uranium line is an independ-
ent company not a member of the
North Atlantic pool.

Adjournment Taken to Settle
Certain Legal Points Brought
Out in Evidence.
VERDICT MAY BE- GIVEN
BY TOMORROW
Suffers Friends Say He VIII
Appeal to the United States
Supreme Court.

Albany, N Y, Oct 14.-In the I'M
peachment trial Of Governor Sulzer the
court adjourned until 11:30 o'clock to-
day. 1t was decided in executive ses-
sion to reopen the argument of counsel
to settle certain legal points in con-
nection with the testimony of Henry
Morgenthau and Duncan w. Peck.
This action WAS taken at the sug
gestion of Judge Nathan L. Miller, who
as soon as court convened asked for
an executive session to consider the
question whether the testimony Of
these witnesses can be considered as
bearing on the impeachment or as deal
ing with facts covered by the impeach-
ment No other points were considered
and the action taken Is expected to
delay verdict at least until tomorrow.
Plan Appeal to Federal Courts.
That determined effort to carry
tho fight of William Sulzer to retain
his hold on the governorship into the
United States supreme court Is to be
made was the information obtained
from his friends.
One of the governors advisors made
the statement that the lawyers for the
defense have found way In which an
appeal can be taken to the highest conrt
In the nation in the event of the YER
dict being adverse to him. According
to the program arranged, a motion will
be entered by the lawyers for the dis
solution Of the impeaching tribunal
and demand made that the court of
appeals judges withdraw from the
legislative body. The ground on which
this motion and demand Is to be made,
it is said, will be that the impeach-
ment courts trial of the case is
direct violation of the United States
constitution, guaranteeing a republican
form OF government to each state.
Law Of Alexander Hamilton.
The basis for the contention of the
defense was obtained from Alexander
Hamilton's Interpretation of the re-
publican form of government In which
he holds that Joining the judiciary with
the legislature is an act Of tyranny.
In the event that the motion and de-
mand are disregarded it is contended
that mandatory process then lies with
the United States supreme court.
The judges of the court of impeacn-
,ment are anxious to have Governor
Sulzer come forward and make reply
under oath to the charges against him.
So DESTROYS Is the majority of the court
to have the governor appear on the
witness stand that 1t was learned that
II he should express willingness to
testify at the eleventh hour the case
would be reopened.

NEW AUTO OF
R. A. BULLS
LOSS BY FIRE
Alexander Conquest Taking
Machine On Trial Run at
Time of tho Blaze
BACk-FlRE is THE CAUSE
TOTALLY CONSUMED

A new $1,275 Paige-Detroit auto
mobile was rendered mass of junk
when it was burned down to its
chassis following ignition of the gaso-
line tank by backfire caused by a
defective carburetor yesterday after
noon. The car was owned by r. A.
Bulls, who this morning refused to
say whether it was insured, but it
is believed that little or no insur-
anee was carried on the machine
Alexander Conquest, of the Conquest
garage, was in the machine when 1t
caught fire on the road a short dis
tance east of Rogan's Corner.
Mr.. Conquest had been employed
by Mr.. Bulls, who has the agency
for Paige-Detroit cars, to take the
new machine ma trial run. The
car ran pretty smoothly until near
Rogan's Corner where the motor
began to miss fire and then back
fired. The gasoline tank of this
style of cars is located in the front
under the dashboard and was quick
ly ignited.
The driver got out of the car but
was unable to check the flames,
which spread rapidly to all the wood
work of the machine, and finally
even consumed the tires. Every part
OF the car capable of burning was
consumed When the flames died
away nothing but the skeleton of
the former car, "A mass of iron and
other metal, was left. Conquest had
tried to put out the flames by throw
ing dirt ON them, but he soon found
he could not stop their progress,
Several hours later, about o'clock,
what was left of the car was towed
to the Conquest garage.

estimated that 200 miners were kill
ed outright by terrific explosion to-

HARD FIGHT TO
KEEP CONTROL
OF The SENATE
Special to the EVENING NEws.


Trenton, Oct. 14:-The special
campaign to retain control of the
state senate in the hands of the
Democrats was started here today at
meeting of the committee for this
purpose appointed by State Chair
man Grosscup. The committee con-
sists of the seven Democratic hold
over senators and the Democratic
candidates for the senate in the eight
counties where senators are to be
chosen.
The meeting was called by Sena-
tor Slocum, of Monmouth, the Demo-
cratic leader in the upper house
since the retirement of Senator
Davis, of Salem. The session was
held at the Democratic headquarters.
There was a general discussion of
the party outlook in Atlantic, Ber-
gen, Cumberland, Hudson, Mercer,
Morris, Ocean and Salem counties
where the senators are to be chosen.
II was decided that a vigorous cam
paign should be inaugurated in all
of these counties for the election of
the Democratic senatorial candidates.
Having seven members already in
the senate, the Democrats must elect
at least four of their candidates to
give them a bare majority If the
Republicans elect five of the eight
senators to be chosen they will gain
control 1t is foregone conclusion,
therefore, that the senatorial strug
gle in the eight counties will be
bitter one.

Ten Little Babies Survive.

Special By United Press Wire.
Havre, France, Oct. 14:-Ten lit
tie babies were among the survivors
brought to this port by the Tour
aipe, the second rescue ship to reach
land. Some of their parents have
been located in all parts of the world.
others are believed to have perished.
The first boat to reach the Touraine
carried seven of the waits. The
women passengers on board fought
to take care of them as they were
passed over the rails, tearing UP
their own clothes to make clothes
for them. Some of them wanted to
adopt them, but were told their par
ents had been located. A. j. Nor
ton, an architect from Denver, was
passenger on the Touraine. He
told a thrilling story of heroism of
the Touraine crew and said that all
who remained aboard the Volturno
were saved. Captain Inch was the
last living man on the doomed yes
sci. j. Magowsky, a Yiddish COM
mon sailor of the Volturno, said that
four Volturno sailors off watch were
suffocated in the forecastle before
it was known there was fire. He
insisted that an explosion did not
start the fire.
"There was no panic," he said.
"The men turned in and fought the
fire down below until the engines
stopped. No man quit. No man
thought of food. Captain Inch did
not have to drive any one with his
pistol because none tried to leave
until all had been done that could
be done. The reason we finally
stopped was that there was no more
power to pump water through the
hose. The fast that the last to be
taken off were women and children
does not Indicate cowardice. A
