StfeiJifi Bill ill ® WIFE BILL GaKir.gsr Objects to Final Vote on Measure. CAUCUS ACTION IS DEFENDED * Denies That President Had Coerced Members of Senate—Dr. Wiley Aids Suffragettes at House Hearing. Washington. Anc. 15. —When the senate assembled Chairman Simmons, of the finance committee, asked for unanimous consent for a final vote on the tariff bill August 25. Republican Leader Gallinger objected.' Senator Simmons asked what reason Senator Gallinger had for refusing to agree to a date on which to vote on the tariff bill. “I refuse to be catechized,” said Senator Gallinger. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania interrupted to say that never in the history of the American government had there taken place a similar instance of legislation in secret as the pending tariff bill. “For two months." said the senator, “the finance committee and the Democratic caucus had the bill in charge and the country was kept in the dark rega-ding it.” Senator Bacon of Georgia defended the Democratic caucus action bn the bill and denied emphatically that the president had coerced members of the senate,or that the caucus had exerted coercion. Calls Senator Unsophisticated. “Then the senator is the victim of a bunco game or he is an unsophisticated gentleman from the country,” declared Senator Penrose. Senator Williams of Mississippi then said : ' “I would suggest that we recall the chaplain so that we may properly give thanks for the conversation of the senator from Pennsylvania. Os all men to lecture us because of secret action, none could have done so with less propriety than the senator from Pennsylvania. To be rebuked in this manner by the senator is almost equafi to the devil rebuking sin. I never before beheld such effrontery. We are the majority party and we are going to put through a tariff bill, just as you would do if you were in the majority. But the gentheman from Pennsylvania finds himself an infinitesimal part of the nfinority. He is cast from one high top to the abyss of oblivion. It seems to be making him more progressive.” Women Before House Body. The National Council of Women Voters was In charge of the demonstration at the capitol, which took the form of a hearing before the house rules committee. The suffragettes urged the representatives to form a special committee on woman suffrage, as the senate had done, and assist the cause of votes for women. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, formerly" chief of the bureau of chemistry, department of agriculture, told the committee and his suffragist auditors that he favors woman suffrage because he believes that unde£ tj|e doctrine of evolution the time is rifle for women to have an equal share in government’ j with men. Dr. Wiley, however, con-' demned the'militant methods of some I foreign countries. He seemed to doubt j the literal truth of the Garden of Eden story. He\ told the committed* that he did not thieve the creation was an afterthought. He said it convinced him that women came from: the same “monitious bioplasm as man.” 1 Miss Mary McDowell, vice-presiden of the Chicago Woman’s Trade Union league, declared that suffrage was necessary' for the protection of-w omen workers. “Women workers must treated on an equality with men,” fhie said. “There is not enough chivalry among men, even among statesmen, to protect the welfare of 9,000,000 women workers who must have the ballot for their own protection.” ' Canadian Troops to Visit U.

POWERS TO GIVE WILSON FREEDOM Ambassador May Be Ousted for Attack on Britain. AFFECTS FOREIGN STAND Envoy’s Praise of Huerta Said to Have Guided the Other Nations—Lind May Meet Provisional President Today. Washington, Aug. 15. —It was learned by the United States government Wednesday that foreign governments generally will do nothing to embarrass the peace plans of President Wilson toward Mexico, and are inclined to support them. Henry Lane Wilson, whose resignation as ambassador to Mexico recently was accepted, to take effect October 14, issued a statement attacking, as aj variance with British tradition, the re ported statement of the British foreign office that recognition of the Huerta government had been extended by Great Britain after Mr. Wilson had made “a congratulatory speech” to the provisional president. * President Wilson read the ambassador’s statement and was so incensed ai its tone and contents that he promptly requested Secretary Bryan to ascertain through the British embassy here whether the utterance of the British foreign office as reported was cor - rject, and the dismissal of Ambassador Wilson by summary acceptance of his designation to take effect immediately is under consideration by the administration. Dispatches from John Lind, personal representative in Mexico of President Wilson, indicated that he was in personal touch with Federico Gamboa, Mexican minister of foreign affairs, and was preparing to submit the representations of the United States on the restoration of peace in Mexico. Japan’s declination to receive Gen. Felix Diaz as special ambassador from President Huerta was officially confirmed here. Secretary Bryan and President Wilson will discuss the reported statement of the British foreign office that Great Britain recognized the Huerta government only provisionally, pending an election, and that Great Britain, France and Germay had accorded recognition after “a congratulatory speech” to President Huerta by Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, dean of the diplomatic corps in Mexico City. Mexico City, Aug, 14.—John Lind, President Wilson’s special envoy to Mexico, succeeded in being received unofficially by Minister of Foreign Affairs Frederic© Gamboa Tuesday. Both Mr. Lind and Senor Gamboa insist that no great importance attached to the visit. The Mexican government still is insistent that it will not deal with Mr. Lind officially nor listen to any suggestion from him as to mediation or to any proposal emanating from his government. Mr. Lind was presented to Senor Gamboa by Nelson O’Shaughnessy, charge d'affaires of the American embassy, in the character of a private citizen. The conversation between the Mexican cabinet officer and Mr. Lind was entirely informal, both carefully avoiding the subject of politics or the mission which is intrusted to Mr. Lind by President Wilson. It is believed there will be little development in the situation before Thursday. Official reports received are to the effect that Torreon, which has beer, under active siege for some weeks, had been relieved and the rebels defeated with a loss of 3,000 men killed, wounded or taken prisoners. ’ FOSS TO RUN AS REPUBLICAN. Democratic Governor Indicates He Shifts in Seeking New Term. Boston, Aug. 15. —Governor Foss, who was a Democratic aspirant for the presidency last year, gave out a statement that was interpreted by political leaders to mean that he would seek the Republican nomination for governor at next month’s primaries. “If I am a candidate for the Republican nomination,” he said, “I will abide by the result of the Republican primaries and not run later as an in- 1 dependent candidate if defeated.” RAIN BREAKS THE DROUTH.

TOP OF LAUNCH FALLS AND 7 ARE DROWNED Waves From Passing Tug Causes Smaller Vessel to Roll—Bodies Are Recovered. Duluth, Minn., Aug. 15. —Seven persons were drowned in St., Louis bay here when a flimsy top used for seats on the launch Dauplaise collapsed and the occupants were thrown into the water. All of the victims’ bodies were recovered. The accident occurred after the launch had gone through a drawbridge of the Northern Pacific railway. The tug Sinclair came up behind the launch, causing a heavy swell. , The Dauplaise was caught in the swell, and the rocking of the boat caused the supports of the canopy top to give way, throwing fourteen persons seated on it into the water. As the engineer attempted to reverse the engine the clutch broke, causing the launch to run about 150 feet from those in the water. Members of the party who were rescued went into hysterics, and were restrained from jumping into the water by the government officials. DIGGS BLAMED BY WITNESS.

She picked up the unfinished story of her friendship with the defendant and carried it through from begnning to end. lowering her eyes at times, hanging her head and dropping her voice almost to a whisper, but never faltering in her answers. . There was no attempt to shake her narrative on cross-examination. Diggs, she said, induced her to leave home against her wishes and judgment. FIGHT HALTS TARIFF BILL. Discussion of Proposed Free Listing of Wheat Blocks Progress. Washington, Aug. 15.—Discussion of the agricultural schedule and the proposed free listing of wheat in particular, enlivened the tariff discussion in the senate, Senator Gronna of North Dakota proposing in lieu of free wheat a duty of six cents a bushel.

DELAY IS URGED ON RURAL CREDITS President Expresses Views in Statement From White House. SEES NEED OF NEW PLAN Says Special Machinery of a Distinct Method of Banking Must Be Provided to Insure Success of Idea. Washington, Aug. 15. —The president issued a statement Wednesday announcing that he believed it not advisable to amend the administration currency measure at present with provision for rural and urged postponing that phase of banking reforms until the December session, when the government commission now studying the subject in Eurcpe will have returned. Democratic “insurgents” on the currency question, however, after the ■ caucus had spent more than five hours discussing it, were confident they I would obtain material amendments I looking to the providing of money to I farmers. 4 : The president said: “Again and again during the discus- : sing of the currency bill it has been | urged that special provision should be I made in it for the facilitation of such credits as the farmers of the countrymost stand in need of —agricultural credit as distinguished from ordinary commercial and industrial credits. “Such proposals were not adopted because such credits could be only imperfectly provided for in such a measure. The scope and character of the bill, its immediate and chief purpose, could not be made to reach as far as the special interests of the farmer require. “Special machinery and a distinct system of banking must be provided for if rural credits are to be successfully and adequately supplied. A government commission is now in Europe studying the interesting and highly successful methods which have been employed in several countries of the old world and its report will be made to congress at a regular session next winter. “It is confidently to be expected that the congress will at that session act upon the recommendations of that report and establish a.complete and adequate system of rural credits. There is no subject more important to the welfare or the industrial development of the United States; there is no reform in which I would myself feel it a greater honor or privilege to take part, because I should feel that it was a service to the whole country of the first magnitude -and significance. It should accompanied and gone hand in hand with the reform of our banking and currency system if we had been ready- to wisely and with full knowledge- of *We • *' about. “There has been too little federal legislation framed to serve the farmer directly and with a deliberate adjustment to his real needs. We long ago fell into the habit of assuming that the farmers of America enjoyed such an immense natural advantage over the farmers of the rest of the world, were so intelligent and so enterprising and so at ease upon th© incomparable soils of our great continent that they could feed the world and prosper, no matter what handicap they carried, no matter what circumstances they labored under. We have not exaggerated their capacity or their opportunity, but we have neglected to analyze the burdensome disadvantages from which they were suffering and have too often failed to remove them when we did see what they were. “Our farmers must have means afforded them of handling their financial needs; easily and inexpensively. They should be furnished these facilities before their enterprises languish, not afterward. “And they will be. This-is our next great task and duty. Not only is a government commission about to report which, is charged with apprising the congress of the best methods yet employed fia this matter, but the department of agriculture has also undertaken a serious and systematic study of the whoje problem of rural credits. The congress and the executive, working together, will cerainly afford the needed machinery relief and prosperity to the pecpel of the countrysides, and that very soon.” General discussion on the measure in the caucus will continue, and it is probable that the bill will be before the caucds for at least the remainder of the week.

COLONEL MULHALL IS SUDDENLY TAKEN ILL tT ■ Former N. A. M. Agent Tells Body He Is Worn Out and Adjournment Is Then Taken. Washington, Aug. 14. —While testifying before the house lobby investigating committee Martin M. Mulhall became ill Tuesday. Adjournment was taken to allow him time to recuperate. Meantime James A. Emery. counsel for the National Association of Manufacturers, told the senate lobby investigating committee what Mulhall’s duties were while employed by the association as lobbyist and political campaigner. Mulhall was on the stand two hours before he announced that he was worn out and could not proceed. “Mulhall kept me supplied with? copies of bills and public documents in relation to the Work here, and got . information of the status of legisla- ' tion in w-hich we were interetsed,” Mr. ■ Emery testified “In this work he gathered information and learned the views of members of congress. He , made about hearings and requested ati opportunity for me to appear.” Mr. Emery denied that Henry Neal and Harry Parker, employed at the capitol, had been in the pay of the manufacturers. He testified that he did draw one check for SSO, sent it to Mulhall and told him to divide it between Neal and Parker, “merely to pay for the many courtesies they performed for our members.” "Did you ever make any payments to 1 Mulhall for McMichael?” asked the attorney for the manufacturers. “Yes,” said the witness. “It never exceeded S2O a month, and it terminated when I left for Europe in 1910.” ■ The payments were made, he said, for services in getting bills and documents and for courtesies. Mr. Emery denied Mulhall’s story that Representative Jenkins of Wisconsin had promised that if re-elected he would see that a man satisfactory to the manufacturers would go on the house judiciary committee BANKERS TALK WITH M’ADOO.

WILLIAM SULZEfI IS IMPEACHED Governor of New York Accused of Larceny and Perjury. NUMMARY OF THE CHARGES Diversion of Campaign Contributions for Stock Speculation Is Alleged — Story of the Executive’s Fight Tammany. Albany, N. Y.—William Sulzer, governor or New York, has been impeached by the lower house of the state legislature, and will be tried by the senate and the circuit court of appeals, sitting together as a court of im-‘ peachment. The article of impeachment, which were adopted by a vote of 79 to 45. charge the governor with perjury and larceny of campaign funds and with other slightly less serious offenses. An important part of the charge is that Mr. Sulzer diverted campaign contributions to his private use and invested them in stocks. Just before the impeachment Mrs. Sulzer made a statement to the effect that she had taken part of the campaign money and bought stocks with it in Wall street. She will probably take the witness stand at the trial to tell this story. Charges Against Sulzer Stripped of their legal verbiage, the articles of impeachment against Governor Sulzer are as follows: 1— That Governor Sulzer, in filing his statement of campaign expenses, set forth that his entire receipts were $5,460 and his expenditures $7,724; that this statement “was. false and was intended by him to be false;’’that his list of receipts failed to include 11 specific contributions, ranging in amount from SIOO to $2,500. 2— That Governor Sulzer attached to his statement of campaign expenses an affidavit declaring that the statement was “a full and detailed statement of all moneys received or contributed or expended by him directly or indirectly.” That this affidavit “was ML > Governor Sulzer. false and was corruptly made by him,” and that he was "guilty of willful and corrupt perjury.” 3 — That Governor Sulzer "was guilty of mal and corrupt conduct in his office as governor and was guilty of bribing witnesses.” The specific charge is that while the Frawley committee was investigating the governor’s campaign accounts he “fraudulently induced” three witnesses (his campaign manager, a personal friend, and a stock broker) “to withhold their testimony from said committee.” 4 — That the governor was guilty of “suppressing evidence” in violation of the state penal law. The specific charge is that he “practiced deceit and fraud and used threats and menaces with intent to prevent the Frawley committee from procuring the attendance and testimony .of certain witnesses.” 5 — That the governor was guilty ot “preventing and dissuading a witness from attending under a subpoena” the sessions of the Frawley committee. The witness referred to is Frederick L. Colwell, alleged to have acted as Sulzer’s agent in certain stock transactions. 6 — That prior to his election the governor appropriated campaign contributions to his own use, “and used the sany?, or a large .part thereof, in speculating tn stocks . . . and thereby stole such checks and was guilty of larceny.” 7— That Governor Sulzer promised and-threatened to use the authority and influence of his office for the purpose of affecting the vote or political action of certain public officers, including two assemblymen. 8 — That he “corruptly used his authority as governor to affect the prices of securities on the New York stock exchange, in some of which he was speculating.” How It Ail Started. When Governor Sulzer, the “people’s governor,” and the “poor man's friend." refused to do the bidding of Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall, the most remarkable political drama NewYork state had ever seen was begun. From that very moment Tammany Hall carried out a steady and consistent program of warfare against Sulzer and all things Sulzer. The governor replied in kind, as well as he could. A Tammanyized legislature instituted an “investigation” of Sulzer, and Sulzer reciprocated with an "in-

vestigation” of some Tammany-coib trolled state department. What was it all about? Direct primaries, mainly. Also about appointments. Boss Murphy sought to hava certain organization men appointed to office. Sulzer declined to appoint them, although he had been something of an organization man himself for a great many years, and immediately after hia election to the governorship had been intimate with Murphy, so intimate that Mr. and Mrs. Murphy were welcome at the “People’s House,” as Governof Sulzer asserted himself in an interview. Sulzer may have told the truth when he said his life was in danger.. He declared, after his break with Tammany Hall, that he had employed guards to protect him against possible assassination. Attack after attack, mostly traceable to political enemies, was made on Sulzer. He was accused of perjury, the alleged offense having been committed, according to his accuser, in 1890. That accusation didn’t seem to have much effect tn the way of ruining Sulzer, so suit was filed in Philadelphia by a young woman of the. name of Mignon (Polly) Hopkins, charging Sulzer with breach of promise. Tbts action, Sulzer said also, was a move on the part of his political enemies. Miss Hopkins asked $30,000 damages for her wounded heart. Sulzer admitted having known Miss Hopkins some years ago, but denied that he had ever proposed marriage to her. Row Over Direct Primaries. When Sulzer proniised real direct primaries to the pedple of New York, he evidently meant what he said. When he went into office he made it his business to start legislation for direct primaries on its way. He discovered. however, that he and his political associates had very different ideas of the kind of direct primaries New York wanted. A bill was introduced at the instigation of Sulzer, but before it was voted upon another direct primary bill, which’ Sulzer characterized a "fraud upon* the people,” was introduced in both branches of the legislature and passed. Governor Sulzer vetoed it, and then called upon the legislators to pass his bill. The assembly and then the senate killed the .Sulzer bill, amid scenes such as the senate and assembly chambers had never before seen. There were shouts of rage and shakings of fists In the direction of the capitol. There were ' cheers and shouts when it was announced that the bills had been killed. Sulzer then started a campaign to obtain direct primaries. He enlisted many well known men in his cause, and called the legislature in extraordinary session. It had then become a case of open warfare. His Campaign Fund Investigated. The governor instigated ' investigations of several state departments, and then Tammany retaliated in kind with an investigation of Sulzer’s campaign fund by a legislative copiiußte«- Senator Frawley, a Tammany chieftain, was the chairman of the committee and it commenced its sittings in Albany. It was intimated that Sulzer had received checks for his campaign fund which he had not listed in his sworn statement, a misdemeanor under the laws of New York state. Two checks were introduced into the evidence. One was for $2,500 from Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the bankers, and endorsed “Mr. Schiff’s contribution to the Sulzer campaign.” The other check was for SSOO and was signed by Abram I. Elkus, a prominent New York city lawyer. It was alleged by the Frawley committee that neither of these checks appeared in Sulzer s campaign list. At a later session of the Frawley committee, held, in New York, it' developed that Sulzer had owed the stock brokerage firm of Harris & Fuller $48,599.38 on January 1. 1912, when Sulzer was in congress. According to testimony and evidence offered, Sulzer had been a steady loser in the stock market. The brokers to whom he owed money dunned him for payment, according to the testimony, and Sulzer was finally rescued by hrs business partner, A. E. Spriggs, of Montana, who paid $5,000, and Louis X Josephthal of New York, who, on July 19 last, paid $26,749.21. It also developed before the committee that Sulzer had traded with Boyer. Griswold & Co. Charles H. Reynolds, formerly cashier for the firm, testified that on/October 16 last, Frederick L. Colwell, whom he understood to be an agent for Sulzer, had bought 200 shares of Big Four for $12,025. The stock was paid for the same day with eight checks and $7,125 In cash. One check given in payment for the stock was a campaign contribution. The Frawley committee alleged that the seven other checks were also campaign contributions, and asserted that this would be proved. Other Governors Impeached. Seven other governors in the United States have faced impeachment proceedings. These men and the results that followed were: Charles Robinson, Kansas. 1862, dequitted. Harrison Reed, Florida. 1868, charges dropped. William W. Holden, North Carolina, 1870, removed. Powell Clayton, Arkansas. 1871, charges dropped. David Butler, Nebraska, 1871, removed. Henry.C. Warmoth, Louisiana. 1872, term expired and proceedings dropped. Adelbert Ames, Mississippi, 1876, resigned. < How Much Better Today, If it is good to use attention tomorrow, how much better is/ it to do so today.

Why Beekeepers Beat Pans. Many beekeepers beat tin pans at swarming time because they think it makes the bees settle dpwn, but a contributor to Bee Culture says that this practice is merely a relic of a forgotten English law which required the beekeeper to give notice in this way that his bees were swarming and that he was entitled to follow them. If he lost sight of them after giving this warning, the bees became the ty of the person on whose land they alighted
