Statement of Campaign Expenses
Prepared Without Knowledge ot
Principal as to Details,
Sa reeky Testifies.
ALBANY, X. T.. Oct. 7. Governor
Sulzer recently attempted, to negotiate
a bargain with Charles F. Murphy,
leader of Tammany Hall, to have his
Impeachment trial "called off," so Al
lan A. Ryan, son of the New York fi
nancier and traction magnate, teeti
fied at the trial today.
If Murphy was willing to get his
following to vote that the Assembly
had no right to impeach him," the Gov
ernor, according to Ryan, was "willing
to do whatever was right."
The testimony preceded the calling
by the defense of Louis A. Sarecky,
the Governor's secretary, and other
witnesses.
Secretary Take Blame.
Sarecky, a youth of 27, shouldered
the blame for the omission of unre
ported contributions from the Gover
nor's campaign statement, confessed
he had omitted the Governor's signa
ture to deceive a bank and admuiea
that he, an alien, born in Russia and
never naturalized, had been promoted
from the position of the Governor's
tenoirraDher to the head of the aepor
tatlon bureau of the State Hospital
Commission.
Sareckv much heralded as the Gov
ernor's star witness, took the stand
amid a cranlne of necks and a buzz
of interest. He spoke in a high, piping
voice and his answers came almost
uniformly without hesitation.
"We received either from Tammany
Hall or from the Secretary of State,
began Sarecky, "a blank form in which
a statement was to be made out ot
receipts and expenditures of campaign
funds.
Friends Form Committee.
"The question came up as to whether
the committee of the Governor's
friends, of which I was the treasurer,
had the right to file a statement, inas
much as It had neglected, or someone
had neglected on behalf of the commit
tee, to file with the Secretary of State
a notice to the e fleet that such a com
mlttee had been formed. So someone
suggested that I take the matter up
with Mr. Sulzer. I went into his
room and told him of the quandary we
were in and he said, "Well, make up
the statement anyway; it does not mat
ter very much who signs it. as long
as we comply with the spirit of the
law.' So I went outside and then
worked on the statement for about a
day and a half, brought it In to Mr.
Sulzer and he signed it."
Sulzer Ignorant of Details.
"Did William Sulzer have anything
whatever to do in the work of pre
paring that statement?
' "No, sir." Sarecky declared emphatl
callv.
"What was Mr. Sulzer doing when
you took the comple'ed statement to
him for his signature:'
"I think he was going through some
of his correspondence. I said, "Here,
Congressman, here is the statement
which I got up.' I had the first page
folded over back and showed him where
he was to sign. He turned it back and
said, 'Is this all right?' I said, 'This
is as accurate as I could get it, and he
signed it."
"Did he read any part of the state
ment or examine it?"
"He could not have read it carefully,
because he did not hold it over a min
ute ortwo at the most just long
enough for him to sign his name."
"Why did you leave out any money?"
"Because I did not have any record
before me at the time I made up the
statement to cover the items I omit
ted." PlBckoey's Testimony Contradicted.
Sarecky contradicted the testimony
of Cornelius S. Pinckney, a New York
lawyer, witness for the managers, who
said that the Governor had told him
that he did not propose to report
Pinckney's $200 gift. The Governor
said, according to Pinckney, "I don't
Intend to account for these kind of
gifts."
Sarecky said today that he heard all
the conversation between Pinckney
and the Governor and that the Gover
nor made no such statement.
Attorney Hlnman questioned Sare
cky closely concerning a letter signed
"William Sulzer," which was sent to
Webb Floyd, the president of the Mu
tual Alliance trust Company, where
Sarecky had his account. The letter
purported to authorize Sarecky to
sign Sulzer's checks and permit their
deposit in Sarecky's account.
The witness admitted he signed the
letter while Sulzer was up-state on a
campaign tour.
SuUer's Slgnatnre Vsed.
"Now, when you received word from
the Mutual Alliance Trust Company
that they wanted some authority from
Congressman Sulzer for you to indorse
his name, did you communicate with
Governor Sulzer?" he was asked on
cross-examination by Attorney Stanch
field. "No, sir, I did not."
"You put on the face of this letter
'en route' so that they noticed in the
newspapers that he was out of the city,
that they would see by this letter that
it came from him wherever he might
be?"
"Yes, sir."
'And you did aXl this, knowing from
this bank that they wanted to know
if the Governor had given you author
ity to indorse checks?"
"Yes."
"In other words, you presented to
that bank a deliberate forgery, didn't
you?"
The Governors counsel came to
Sarecky's rescue with an objection,
which Presiding Judge Cullen sus
tained. "That was my intention when I
gave it to him." was Sarecky's reply
to a question by Judge Cullen if his
Intention had not been to deceive the
bank.
Rev. George Chalmers Richmond, a
Philadelphia minister, who last Sun
day flayed the enemies of Sulzer in a
sermon, was subpenaed today as a
witness for the board of managers. He
will be asked to justify his charges
that the proceedings are the result of a
conspiracy. He is in Albany and to
day he appeared soiuewhat exercised
over being called.

for the exhibition. To gain a good
view Miss Hildreth and the Navy of
ficers climbed to the top of a small

Oregon Gets $800,000 Crop Money.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Oct 7. The Treasury Depart
ment today authorized payments to
depository banks in Oregon for crop
moving purposes to aggregate $800,000,
the distribution not being enumerated.
Four hundred thousand dollars was
placed with depository banks in Washington
tween submitting the bill to the full
committee of Republicans and JJemo
crats or taking it into caucus.
Majority Leader Kern said today that
if it became apparent that the bill was
being delayed, the Democrats in order
to assume their responsibility for legis
lation would call a caucus. Senator
Owen also took the position that the
measure should be made a party mat
ter. The day's developments showed no
change in the attitude of Senators
Reed and Hitchcock, the Democratlo
members of the committee, who- have
contended for full consideration and
opportunity to amend the bill. Senator
O'Gorman. who has taken a similar po
sition, did not attend today's hearing.
Fowler Attacks Bill.
The committee today heard Charles
N. Fowler, ex-member of the House
and ex-chairman of the banking and
currency committee. He attacked the
bill, declaring It would create a cur
rency which was "not adapted to the
needs of the country," and if passed,
would result in "commercial bedlam
and financial ruin." He characterized
the present Aldrlch-Vreeland emerg
ency currency law as an "Iniquity!"
"That measure," he said, "was
jammed through Congress by Presi
dent Roosevelt, under the same damn
able pretense that is being used by
President Wilson to force this bill
through Congress pass the bill or
plead Incompetence."
Mr. Fowler advocated the establish
ment of a system of pure banknote
asset currency, under which each indi
vidual bank would Issue Its own notes
as currency as they were needed. He
recommended that the present bank
notes remain in circulation, but thitt
2 per cent Government banknotes se
curing them be retired and the notes
become "credit currency" issued by the
banks. On this currency he said, a E
per cent tax would form a guarantee
fund which would be held against notes
outstanding Issued by the banks which
might fail. Against the notes he said,
the bank should be required to bold a
reserve equal to their reserve against
deposit He recommended the holding
of a gold reserve of $1,260,000,000 by
the Government to enable the Govern
ment to control the gold supply of the
country.
New Cnrreney BUI Offered.
Senator Brlstow added another ele
ment to the situation today by Intro
ducing a new currency bill in the Sen
ate. The Senator said that he Intro
duced the bill by request and thought
it contained valuable points.
The measure would allow the present
National banks with a capital of 100,
000 and a 20 per cent surplus to take
out in addition to their present cur
rency secured ry z per cent uovern
ment bonds, ' unsecured currency" up
to the amount of their capital. This
currency would be secured by a first
lien on the assets of the bank and
would be taxed 5 per cent the first six
months It was out 6 per cent the next
three months, 7 per cent the next three
months and at the end of the year the
Controller of the Currency could order
it returned.
The tax would be used Ho form
"guarantee fund" against failures. The
banks would be required to deposit a 5
per cent redemption fund similar to the
present fund against banknotes.

BOSTON, Oct. 7. Savings banks of

according to R. C. Stephenson, of
South Bend, Ind., president of the sav
