diately stopped the train and brought

the ties holding to a handbar, his foot
was caught and he was drawn under
the moving cars. The head and left
arm and shoulder were severed from
the body while other barks show that

ACCOUNT Ran THREE YEARS
THE ACCUSED MAN OFTEN oW-
ED THE FIRM MANY THOU
SANDS or DOLLARS

Albany, N. X, Sept 80. Mrs. viii
liam Sulzer had borrowed money from
the Carnegie Trust company of New
York and it was to aid her in her
financial difficulties that the governor
borrowed from the STOCK exchange
firm Of Harris & Fuller. This was
the explanation which Melville B..
Fuller, head of the firm, witness
today at the impeachment trial, said
the governor made to him.
The books of the stock exchange
firm Of Harris & Fuller, with whom
Governor Sulzer dealt for three years,
were changed two days before his in
auguration SO that It appeared that
instead of his account being specu-
lative one, the firm had merely loan
ed the governor money, according to
evidence adduced at his impeachment
trial today.
Melville B. Fuller head Of the firm,
who produced the books, testified that
Gross entry" had been made in the
governors account under date of De
cember 80, 1912, showing that the
firm had loaned him 10000 or the
debit balance against the account on.
previous stock transactions. These
dated back to early in 1910, and there
was put into evidence letters show
ing that during that time the firm had
repeatedly called on the governor for
more margin because Of the steady
decline Of the stocks involved in the
account. Some of the securities Mr.
suIzer had bought through the firm,
others he had deposited as margin
against those he had bought, and at
the same time had borrowed money on
them. His total borrowings, including
the $4,000 debited against him in the
cross entry" transaction, amounted
to s1SO,O0O, according to the books,
The cross entry" was made Fuller
testified. because his partner thought
"it would not be wise to have stock
floating around the street in Governor
sulzers name. Otherwise. as. is fre-
quently the case. in margin accounts.
the stock might find it's way into the
collateral put up in the firms tram
sactlons with banks.
Attorney Kresel for the impeach-
ment managers, intimated that this
Gross entry" was nor made on De-
cember 8, 1912, but at a later date.
The books showed that on June 16.
1918, another cross entry had beer
made after check for $1,000, given
by former Cove p spriggs OF
Montana, had been paia into the ac
count. and that, as in a regular spec
Iulative account, dividends on the
stock had been credited and interest
charged. These latter transactions
reduced the governors debit balance
( to about $4,000 and the second cross
entry showed that on that date tht
firm had made the governor a new
loan q $4,000

MUCH LITIGATION INVOLVED
SUPREME TRIBUNALS DECISION

WILL AFFECT Oil TRACTS
WYOMING COMPANY RAISES oUEs-
TloN DURING a TRIAL IN
DENVER

Denver, Sept. 8O.-The United
States circuit court Of appeals for the
Eighth district win ask the United
States supreme court for ruling on
the question of the right Of a presi-
dent of the United States to withdraw
public lands from entry. This an
nouncement was made today by Pre-
siding Judge William G. Hook. This
request is made in the Midwest Oil
company case, before the court Of ap-
peals' for argument at the present ses-
sion Upon the determination Of a
presidents right to withdraw public
lands is said to hinge the ownership
Of extensive tracts Of oil lands in
Wyoming. The outcome of the pres
ent case is expected also to have an
important bearing on litigation involy-
ing public lands in other states.
Rich oil lands in California, aggre-
eating an estimated total Of mora
than 100000 acres, have been en-
tered upon since the withdrawal act Of
congress Of June, 1910 Title to all
Of this land is involved in the present
suit according to Wiliisu penman
Of san Francisco. special assistant
to the attorney genera Or the United
States, who arrived in Denver last
night to participate in the expected
argument The Wyom4ns land i'm
volved totals about $4,000 acres.
Mr. Denman stated that the action
Of the court IN certifying the issues
to the supreme. court or the Tinted
States is highly satisfactory to the
government as it win bring final
disposition Of the case probably
year sooner than had been expected.
Associated with Mr.. Denman on tie
governments side Of the controversy
is Ernest Knaebel, also an assistant
to the attorney general Both have
spent months in studying the com
plicated questions resulting from the
withdrawal, entry and re-withdrawal
Of government oil lands.
The Midwest Oil company and other
corporations and individuals similarly
situated assert that the withdrawal Of
the lands BY president Taft was ille-
gal. and that all entries made before
the act Of congress are valid. The
contention Of the government Is that
the president was authorized to with
hold the land from entry. especially
since in the withdrawal order he speci-
( fled that the land was needed BY the
nation to furnish oil for the use Of
the navy
The court today invited counsel for
both sides to assist it in preparing q
list Of questions to be submitted to
the supreme court. When opinions
ito prepare these questions have been
received the case will be argued in
the United States circuit court Of ap-
peais and a decision rendered in ac-
cordance with the opinions Of the SUI
preme court
a recent decision in the United
States district court in wyoming was
contrary to the governments conten
tions in the Midwest case. The ooprt
decided that the president was not
authorized to withdraw land from
settlement. From this decision the
government appealed.
