BANDIT Is ILL
JERRY EMS, STRICKEN WITH MA
LARIAL FEVER-WANTs PIC
TURE OF HIMSELF.

Jerry EMS, the confessed bandit who
implicated Barney S. Lewis as his prin-
cipal in the N. o. & N. E. train rob-
berry, was stricken with malarial fever
on Saturday, his temperature running
as high as 104 IL. On Sunday after
noon when visited by News represen-
tatiye he was found lying in his bunk,
still weak from his ailment but with
temperature lowered to 100.
Upon the entry of Deputy Sheriff
Chas Poole and the News reporter into
his cell Eniss first remark was re-
quest to Mr.. Poole to read letter
which he handed the officer. This let
ter was one from some motherly wom-
an in Alabama who stated that though
II had been long time since she had
seen him, she was impelled to write
nm h6r expressions Of sympathy and
coincidence the moment she learned
he was in trouble, because of the kind.
ness he had shown her five years ago
and because if her boy was ever in sim
iIar trouble she would be glad to
know some mother was ready to offer
him word Of comfort. EMS seemed
to be very appreciative of the senti-
ments expressed as the letter was
read to him.
When asked if he objected to pho
tographer getting his picture EMS
said mo you may get my picture if
you want it." He at once arose dressed
himself a1d came down stairs and
stood in the front doorway of the Jail
while his picture was being taken by
Photographer d. b. Henley, and when
the process was ended he said that's
the first time l ever had my picture
taken and I want a copy"
All efforts to interview Barney
Lewis have thus far failed, as acting
on instructions. the officers will not
permit any one to visit his cell in the
Jail.

the Sulzer war board" as outlined
by Judge Lynn ]. Arnold, one Of Gov.
Suffers most trusted advisers.
During the last ten days lawyers who
volunteered to assist Gov. Sulzer have
been engaged busily gathering evil
dence touching the alleged conspiracy
and it was announced that they had
procured sufficient data to justify them
in placing the matter in the hands of
District Attorney Whitman of New
York with a demand that he lay the
evidence at once before a grand jury.
Other lawyers and laymen here who
had hand in the Sulzer proceedings
expressed confidence that their con-
templated move will block the Cover
-nor's impeachment trial. They de-
clared that when the evidence they
have collected is made public it will
/ cause the Court of Appeals to decide
to decline to join the Senate in a rial
and that the whole matter will fall to
the ground as the Senate would have
no power under the Constitution tc

Acting Governor Glynn was at hi.
summer home on the Hudson through
out Sunday. Mr.. Glynns adherents de
rided the latest move of the Sulze
forces and declared that it woult

BANKERS PROTEST
Will AVAIL
LITTLE
ADMINISTRATION LEADERS SAY
FEATURES OBJECTED TO HAVE
BEEN THREsHED OUT.
SENATE MAY MAKE CHANGES
When Currency Measure Reaches Up
per House Bankers viii Be Given OPP
portunity to Present views-Pro-
posal Reduce Reserve Meets Favor.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The answer
of the administration forces in the
house to the criticisms of the currency
bill made by the conference of bank
ers at Chicago Saturday will be
tightening up of the lines and a more
vigorous Endorsement of the bill as it
now stands. Informal conferences OF
Democratic members of the House
Currency Committee emphasized the
fact that the active supporters of the
Presidents currency plan expect to
pass the measure through the House
without substantial change.
The amendments proposed b fHe
bankers, it was pointed out by House
leaders, Monday, all were considered
in detail when the bill was prepared
originally, and in the long debate over
it provisions in the House Committee
on Banking and Currency.
The proposal to reduce the quantity
of reserves and give country banks the
privilege of keeping part of their re-
serves in the large cities had many
supporters, and ultimately may be
worked into the bin in the Senate, but
the change is not expected in the
House.
The bankers will have an opportuni-
ty to present their views openly to
Congress after the currency bill gets
into the Senate. Chairman owen of
the Senate Currency Committee said
that while hearings had not yet been
arranged, he expected leading repre-
sentatives of the various factions"
among the bankers of the country
would be invited to give their views of
the bill to the Senate committee.
Il see a great deal of merit in the
proposal to reduce somewhat the quan,
tity of the reserves" sad Senator
Owen. Eve have not discussed the
Inew legislation sufficiently to know
what changes may be made in the
bill" --
The fact that leading bankers hold
different views of the effect of thd
new legislation, particularly with re-
gard to the possible reduction Of loans
and curtailment of credit has led
members of the Senate committee to
eelieye that a further discussion of
the bill at open hearings would re-
suit in winning the cooperation and
support of large portion OF the eoun-
try's banking fraternity.
In the opinion of the Democratic
leaders the last week has seen
greater progress toward united sup
port of President Wilson's legislative
policy than any recent stage of con-
gressional activity. The entrance of
Secretary Bryan as the wholehearted
advocate Of the administration cur.
rency bill in his letter read in the
House caucus; the united front pre-
sented by the Democratic leaders OF
the House against amendments to the
currency measure, and the complete
success of the Senate Democrats in
supporting the free sugar and Other
contested points of the tariff bill have
advanced the two big reforms a Ions
way toward completion. 1t is claimed
