SULZEB'S REMOVAL
ATTACKED IN COURT
Printer, Who Says There Is No
Politics in It, Will Appeal
to High Court.
ANTI-TAMMANY CANDIDATE TOR MAYOR OP NEW YORK,
BELIEVED TO HAVE BIG LEAD.
INJUNCTION PRAYED FOR
Ex-Governor Made One of Defend
ants. Being Charged With Hav
lng Abandoned Duties of
His Office.
XEW TORK. Oct SO. Suit to test
the validity of the recent rem'oval of
"William Sulzer from the Governorship
of New York was begun in the United
States District Court here today. The
action took the form of a petition for
an injunction against the present State
Administration. The petitioner is Wll
liam H. Moore, a printer employed by
the New Tork 'World, who asserts his
interest is solely that of a citizen and
taxpayer. Sulzer Is also made a de-
fondant in the proceeding-.
The petition declares the state is now
being governed illegally. It attacks
the validity of the impeachment
charges, and asserts that tne legisla
ture illegally assumed and arrogated
to itself the right to convene and llle
gaily "went through the form of re
convening and passing articles of Im
peachment.
Moore is a member of "Big Six," the
Xew Tork typographical union, and has
been active in Democratic politics.
The state's vast resources are de
clared to have attracted the covetous
ness of a "certain group of citizens.'
but the group is not designated spe
cifically.
Politic In Salt Denied.
Moore denied that there was any
politics behind his suit. He said that
he and his attorney, John Leary, had
conceived the idea and submitted the
petition to several attorneys, who
agreed that It had a substantial basis.
"If I lose in the District Court," he
said, "I expect to appeal and lay the
whole impeachment question before the
Supreme Court.
He confirmed Sulzer's declaration
that the former Governor knew noth
lng about the suit before it was filed.
John Leary, Moore's counsel in the
suit, said he would apply next week
for a preliminary injunction in the
case, returnable in a week or ten days.
This, he believed, probably would be
denied by the court without prejudice,
which would give him an opportunity
for an Immediate appeal to the United
States Supreme Court. Leary explained
that Shlzer had been made a defendant
in the case to give him an opportunity
to join In the prayer of the complaint
and also on the ground that the com
plainant was entitled to relief against
Sulzer for abandoning the duties of his
office.
Snlzer Advised Against Action.
"The filing of this action at this
time," said Mr. Leary, "has no con
nection with the fact that election is
Imminent. It is not a political move.
We waited as long as we did to give
Governor. Sulzer an opportunity to take
such action on his own initiative. I
told him more than a week ago Mr.
Moore contemplated this suit, but would
withhold If the Governor Intended to
make any mcve of his own. Mr. Sul
zer said he was in the hands of his
attorneys and they had advised him to
take no appeal beyond the court of Im
peachment. "The position of my client is that
there was no court of impeachment
that it is not a question of appeal, but
wnetner tne people ol this state or any
state can De placed at the mercy of a
combination of office-holders. This Is
a question that can be reviewd only
by the Supreme Court of the United
States."

STILWELL ACCUSES HKXXES3Y
Convict Saya Snlzer Agent Was "Dis
honorable In Every Way."
ALB ANT, N. T., Oct. 30. Superin
tendent Riley, of the State Prison De
partment, and James M. Clancy, who
recently resigned as warden of Sing
Sing Prison, held a long conference to
day and later Riley announced ha
would not accept the resignation at
present,
"Regarding the contests of the "black
book' which Mr. Hennessy has ex
hibited in his speeches in New Tork,"
said Warden Clancy, "I can only say
that Stllwell assures me that he would
be entirely willing to release Mr. Hen
nessy from his obligations not to pub
lish It but for the fact that it contains
references to individuals and matters
which In no way were connected with
the Sulzer controversy. Stllwell re
guards Hennessy's references and lnnu
endos regarding the Interview had with
him at Sing Sing as dishonorable In
every way and as taking an unfair ad
vantage of him in his present unfor
tunate condition. Stllwell says that
he is forced to the conclusion that
when Hennessy found that ha was not
in possession of such Information as
would enable him to destroy certain,
Senators and others in public life, he
concluded not to advise the Governor
to pardon him.
"That being the fact, under the sol
emn agreement made in the presence
of several persons, no reference to the
Interview should have been made."
AUTOIST KILLED BY TRAIN
Second Occupant of Car Hurt and
Machine Dropped In Elver.
WHITEFISH, Mont, Oct. 30. (Spe
cial.) An automobile driven by W. E.
Wells, general superintendent of the
Somers Lumber Company, and carrying
W. W. Burns, treasury of the same
company, was struck by a train tonight
while crossing the Great Northern
tracks just west of the bridge which
spans the Whltensh River, and the body
of Mr. Wells, which alighted on the pi
lot of the engine, was carried clear to
the station platform. He died about
half an hour after being taken to the
hospital. Mr. Burns was .thrown to the
side of the track, receiving a scalp
wound and other serious injuries, but
hopes are held out for his recovery.
It is supposed that they did not see
the train, as it was in a deep cut at
this point. The car was carried clear
across the bridge, a part of it falling In
the river and a few pieces being carried
to the station on the pilot
Mrs. Wells, who lives in KalispeH,
was notified and reached the city a fe
minutes before her husband died.
Cohen lights Jackson to Draw.
BOISE. Idaho, Oct 30. Toung Peter
Jackson and Ike Cohen fought a fierce
10-round draw here tonight Cohen
had the better of the battle until. the
tenth, when he tore Into Jackson and
was met with a series of punches that
put him down for the count of four
and keiit him grosy to the finish.
for some time and the stump speakers
had difficulty In. arousing any enthusi
asm. Attempts to test sentiment by
means of polls and straw votes were
fizzles, because voters had not enough
interest to cast their ballots. There
was no well defined issue except the
usual vague charges of corruption and
extravagance under Tammany rule and
the customary fight against the dicta
tion of the Tammany leader.
Sodden Chance Noted. -
Then something Happened, and with
in a week the complexion of the situa
tion was changed. An amazing revul
sion of sentiment took place. Instead
of favoring Tammany the election odds
indicated a Fusion victory. Issues
sprang up that compelled discussion
everywhere and political meetings were
crowded to the doors. Tammany was
demoralized, its ranks shattered, Its
leaders stunned and helpless. Seldom
has there been such an astounding re
versal in a political campaign in this
city.
The revolution began with the im
peachment of Governor Sulzer. The
Governor has been a resident of the
East Side for many years and he long
has been the hero of his neighbors.
They resented his impeachment as i
personal affront and promptly nom
inated him for the Assembly. The
great East Side was swept by a sort
of frenzy which apparently carried
away thousands of Tammany votes.
Attack on Murphy Tell.
Then Sulzer began a bitter, persistent
attack on Murphy, tending to show
how the Tammany boss tried to run
the state departments and pave the way
for millions of easy graft for his hun
gry followers. .
Sulzer was joined in his assault on
Tammany by John A. Hennessy, who
had b.een appointed by the Governor to
probe the state departments for graft
Hennessy opened on both Murphy and
his candidate for Mayor ex-Judge Ed
ward B. McCall.
Murphy and McCall were rattled.
The charges were not the usual Vague
generalizations of campaign talk. They
gave time, place, names and amounts.
Murphy and McCall began to make de
nials, 'luey made weak threats of
throwing Sulzer and Hennessy Into Jail
on criminal charges, but did nothing.
As fast as they made denials there
were new charges to face and they
nave been kept busy adding new denials.
Mitchel Meeting; Enthusiastic.
Enthusiasm for the fusion municipal
ticket headed by John PurrOy Mitchel
reacnea its neignt tonight at a mass
meeting. In Madison Square Garden.
An audience which packed the big am
phitheater heard the Mayoralty can
dldate. Ex-Mayor Seth Low, who once
led a fusion cause to victory; Oscar S.
Straus, ex-Ambassador to Turkey, and
others attack Tammany HalL Ed
ward E. McCall, Its Mayoralty candi
date, and Charles F. Murphy, its lead
er. Mr. Straus aroused the crowd to
a demonstration when ' he denounced
Tammany for what he declared was Its
recently displayed power to conduct Its
own recall and make and unmake a
Governor. .
Seth Low, as chairman, also caught
the crowd when In answering his own
question: "How can Tammany be de
stroyed?" he replied, "By putting It on
a hunger strike and not trying fore
lbly to feed It."
Edward E. McCall addressed several
Democratic meeting at which he de
parted from his usual custom by men
tioning by name John A. Hennessy,
Governor Sulzers graft Investigator,
who has brought many charges against
McCall and Murphy.
"Black Book" Becomes Feature.
"The charges of Hennessy and Sulzer
Instead of winning a fusion victory
by their perf ldlousness will damn the
fusion cause before election day," Mc
Call declared.
Hennessy continued his spirited cam
paign tonight He devoted the greater
part of his talk to Charles F. Mur
phy, reiterating charges he has made
Against the Tammany deader.
Statements, denials or cnarges ana
the continued use of the "'little black
book," said to contain the record of
conversations with ex-Senator Stllwell
In Sing Sing Prison, which was turned
over to District Attorney Whitman,
were amonc the incidents that helped
to keep the campaign in swift motion
today. The "little black book" will be
used by the District Attorney in "John
Doe" inquiry In the Hennessy charges
against Charles F. Murphy and Edward
E. McCall.
McCall denied a statement made by
William Eulzer, the deposed Governor,
In which Sulzer charged that McCall,
posing as his friend, tried to get him
to call off the Hennessy investigations.
McCall pleaded that Murphy had prom
ised him the nomination for Chief
Judge of the Court of Appeals, Sulzer
said and that If everything was "sat
isfactory" Sulzer could name the man
for Associate Judge. McCall took the
occasion which his denial offered to
call Sulzer a "poor misguided man with
a disordered brain.
Telephonic Device "Illiterate."
That even a telephonic device some
times records untruths was charged by
John H. Delaney, who issued a state
ment in which he declared that some
Illiterate person" impersonated him
when the machine was alleged to have
recorded the conversation in the execu.
tive mansion at Albany in which Sulzer
is said to have insisted that Delaney
had taken Allan A. Ryan's $10,040 to
Charles F. Murphy. Delaney asserted
that he never could have used such
language as was atrributed to him.
In what is said to have been the
longest interview of his career, Charles
F. Murphy predicted the election of Mo-
Call, who, he said, was not his candi
date, as had been charged. He said
he had favored the renomlnation of
Mayor Gaynor, but was overruled by
his lieutenants.
Delegates of 30 leagues, which or
ganized to work for the re-election of
the late Mayor Gaynor, are now giving
their support to the fusion ticket were
addressed tonight by Mitchel. The anti-Tammany
cause favored by Mr. Gay
nor is represented by the fusion forces,
Mitchel said.
MDS NOT COUNTED
CABALISTIC "IS" FIGURES
TRIAL AT KIEV.
IX
Court Surgeon and Rival Medical
Expert Dispute Acrimoniously
Oyer Points In Case. "
KIEV, Oct 30. The testimony of
doctors in the trial of Mendel Belllss
for "ritual murder" differed even more
today than yesterday and led to an
acrimonious dispute between the im
perial court surgeon, Dr. Pavloff, and
Professor Kosorotoff, who accused each
othei of Ignorance of medical Juris
prudence.
Much time was spent in discussing
whether there were 13 or 14 wounds in
the boy's, Tushinsky, left temple, the
number, IS, having, apparently, a
cabalistic significance. With a view to
clearing up this point, it was sugsted
the preserved scalp be shown to the
jury, but it was decided not to do so
out of consideration for their nerves.
The number of the wounds, therefore,
remained unestablished.
Dr. Tutanoff, of Kiev University, de
clared the difference of five centi
meters in two official measurements
of the body carried out under his di
rection was due to a mistake of an at
tendant and also that his replacement
of the top of Tushinsky's skull by the
top of another skull was for the pur
pose of taking photographs and was
of no importance.
Professor Korosotoff said he distin
guished two sets of wounds between
the infliction of which the blood flow
ing from the first set might have col
lected. He' then described the differ
ences between the Russian and Jewish
methods of slaughtering animals. His
testimony concluded the medical evi
dence and the court adjourned after
reading the list of questions which will
be submitted tomorrow to the medical
experts.

Committeeman Elder Leaves Capital
Just as Perky Is Scheduled to
Appear on Scene Demanding
Division of Spoils.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Oct. 30. Democratic National
Committeeman Elder, of Idaho, after
week spent In conference with mem
bers of the Wilson Cabinet, left for
home today satisfied that the long-
delayed Federal appointments in Idaho
will be made in the near future. They
have been held up thus far because of
factional strife In the Idaho Democracy,
the Elder faction being opposed to a
faction led by ex-Governor Hawley nd
ex-Senator Perky.
Just as Elder leaves Washington,
however. Perky is slated for reappear
ance on the scene and is en route to
Washington threatening to hold up all
Idaho appointments that are not satis
factory to his faction unless the Ad
ministration agrees to a division of the
spoils. Perky is especially desirous
of the appointment of State Chairman
Gray as Marshal. Elder is opposing
Gray and all other Perky men and rer
fuses to compromise. Whether the re
appearance of Perky will again muddy
the situation and occasion further de
lay is to be developed soon.
Gray recommended the appointment
of Judge Sinclair, of Coeur d'Alene, as
District Attorney to succeed Llngen-
felter, who Is slated for early retire
ment. His other recommendations are
not known.
Ex-Senator Heitfeld is slated for ap
pointment as receiver of the Lewlston
land office, and while not Indorsed by
Elder will not be opposed py mm. xnis
is the only concession Elder is willing
to make to the opposing faction. Ex-

of patronage by the Elder faction and
stands ready to join Perky in holding

LOST ESKIMOS RESCUED
Party Cast Away Ten Tears Ago on
Island Gets Succor.
"WINNIPEG. Man.. Oct. 30. (Special.)
Hudson Bay officials here have Just
received reports from the north that a
party of ten Eskimos were rescued from
an island In the mouth of Hudson Bay,
on which they had been marooned for
ten years.
It appears that the Eskimos were
caught off shore on drift ice and car
ried after long weeks of hardship to
the island on which they were found.
The island has been avoided by pass
ing vessels because of reefs and mag
netic disturbances which affected ships
compasses. It is more than 100 miles
from the mainland.
The Eskimos had lived all the period
of Nthelr forced stay on fish and seal
meat. Several children were born In
the decade of their imprisonment and
some of the party had died. Those who
were rescued seemed to be in good
health.
STUDENTS FIGHT POLICE
Minnesota Boj s Charge Theater and
Beat Doorkeeper Unconscious.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct 30. A
dozen policemen and a score of detec
tives engaged in a desperate battle with
BOO University of Minnesota students,
high school boys and other sympathiz
ers at a local theater tonight. Clar
ence Windmiller, a doorkeeper at the
theater, was knocked unconscious, and
two students. Giles McHenry and F. L.
Raferty, said to be ringleaders, were
locked up in police headquarters.
The students, who had been celebrat
ing the departure of the Minnesota
football team from Madison, charged
the front entrance of the theater. When
Windmiller attempted to stop them he
was beaten and seriously injured. The
crowd was held at bay by a policeman
with a drawn revolver until a riot call
brought reserves from headquarters.
The theater management quieted the
audience, which feared the tumult was
caused by fire.
Dispute Over J5 Cents Sends One'
Eyed Oriental to Hospital and
Opponent to Jail.
LOS ANGELES. Cal., Oct. 30-A bet
of 25 cents on the ability of one pool
player to nut the "13" ball in a corner
pocket was the indirect cause of a riot
late today in the Japanese quarter.
where one man was fatally injured,
another's head was severely bruised
and nearly a score more were pain
fullv hurt.
A riot call sent to the Central police
station resulted In the sending to the
Japanese section of a squad of police
who arrested T. Takahasi and took his
victim, an unidentified one-eyed Jan
anese, who was bleeding profusely
from several knife wouncs on the head,
face, arms and body, to the receiving
hospital.
Takahasi said he had bet the onfr
eyed Japanese 25 cents that he could
not, at a critical period of a game of
pool played last night, put the "13'
ball in a corner pocket. The one-eyed
man made the shot and Takahasi prom
ised to pay the bet later. The one
eyed player asked for the money to
day, and when, according to Takahasi.
the loser said he could not pay, the
unidentified man broke two pool cues
over the debtor's head. Then, Takabasl
said, he drew his knife and defended
himself. Other Japanese participated
in the affray.
Democratic members were bound by the
decree of the caucus. It represents,
therefore, a bare majority of a major
