Court Rules That Thorough In
vestigation of Sulzer's Cam
paign Funds Can Be Made.
ALL EVIDENCE BEARING
ON SUBJECT ADMISSABLE
Main Issue of Fight Is As To
Where Restrictions Were
Placed On Use of Funds.
(By United Press Association)
Albany, X. Y., Sep. 25. When the
impeachment trial was resumed this
morning it became evident that the
main issue throughout the trial will
be whether or not contributors to the
governor's campaign funds specified
any restrictions concerning the man
ner in which Sulzer spent the money
so contributed. Attorney Brackett
for the prosecution tried today to
have Jacob SchitTs statement that
Sulzer was at liberty to use the funds
as he chose, to be stricken from the
record. Attorney Marshall for the de
fense objected to the motion and
Chief Justice Cullen took the matter
under advisement.
Teller Goodwin of the Farmers
Loan & Trust Company testified this
mom in tr. He examined the checks
given by the Strauss company, which
was presumably a contribution to tiic
campaign fund. He said he believed
that the endorsement was Sulzer's
but was not positive.
Albany, N. Y.( Sep. 25. That the
entire financial history of Governor
Sulzer's campaign will be made pub
lic and that every contribution re
ceived and every cent spent must be
accounted for, was the ruling of the
impeachment court here this after
noon. The court decided unanimous
ly to hear all evidence the prosecution
has to offer, whether it refers to the
articles of impeachment or not. For
mer President Tekulcky of the New
York Retal Liquor Dealers associa
tion was on the stand when the de
cision to throw the case wide open
to the prosecution was reached. Te
kulsky was asked a question concern
ing a contribution .said to have been
made by the association to Sulzer's
campaign fund. The governor's law
yers objected upon the ground that
the alleged contributions had no ref
erence to the articles of impeachmen:.
After the arguments were made the
court ruled to admit all evidence.
GRANO SUCCESS MARKED
PRESENTATION OF PLAY
'The Wolf" Presented by Local
Talent Was Attended by
Packed House.
"The Wolf." Eueene Walters' great
comedy drama, as presented last
night at theBligh theater by local tal
ent under the direction of McNaugh
tan brothers, was a grand success,
from a standpoint of presentation and
support of a packed and appreciative
audience. The production was staged
under the auspices of the Loyal Or-
i tvr of Moose.
Great credit is due every one of the
i castc ad especially to McXaiiKhtan
I brothers under whose able direction
the play was made such a rousing
success.
McN'atightan brothers ably sustain
ed the roles of William McDonald and
Julius Baubein, the most difficult part
in the caste. Dariel Rexford excelled
in the pat of Gorgc Huntley and
provoked much Inughter in his taunt
ing of old Andrew McTavish, which
was carried remarkably well by Ed.
Ristine. This part, from the way Ris
tinc handled it, was nearly the life
and center of the production. Mrs.
Harry Rogowny in the part of Hilda,
daughter of McTavish, wonderfully
took her part, portraying girlhood de
nied the loving attention of a parent
and her manner was full of pathetic
appeal, strikingly adapted to the part.
As a whole the castc with Kclland
Cowan as Rcauhiens right hand man,
could have hardly been improved.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY ON
FOURTH ST. TODAY
One Horse Has Hip Fractured;
Axle of Wagon It Ran into
Broken.
Serious was a runaway this morn
ing shortly before 9 o'clock on Kast
Fourt street which resulted in frac
turing of a horse's hip, cuts and bruis
es on both horses and the breaking
of an axle on a wagon which they
ran into.
The team was being driven to town
by O. Kastan,, a young farmer of
near I-'roman station, when one of the
traces fell down, and flopping about
the horses leg frightened it. The
team started on a run from Railroad
street West on Fourth. Hcforc reach
ing the corner of Montgomery, the
wagon was ditched into the curb,
the driver pulled out and dragged
nearly a block to Maker street, when
the team dashed into a wagon, being
driven to town, laden with cans of
milk. Kastan miraculously escaped
injury, before he let go of the lines
and the escape of the driver ol the
milk wagon was close.
The right hand horse struck the
wagon wheel broadside, was thrown
and dragged nearly 40 feet by the
other horse before it stopped. The
axle of the wagon was broken off
close to the hub and while it could not
be definitely determined, it is believed
that the hip bone of the horse was
fractured. Terribly limping it w,as
driven off fwr the attention of the
veterinary.

1 CHANGE WILL
BE IDE li WARDS
At Least the Wards Will Remain
As They Are for Sometime
to Come.
ORDINANCE INTRODUCED TO
THIS EFFECT LAST NIGHT
Laid on Table for Indefinite
Period; Plan Was to Enlarge
Ward Two.
Should the third ward be divided in
to (wo wards? Should the second ward
be enlarged by adding a part of the
third ward: Should all the words
be re-arranged as a result of enlarg
ing the city limits?
Momentously, these questions were
liscussed last night at the council
meeting as the result of the first read
ing of an ordinance designed to
;uneud Section 1 of ordinance lJfi en
titled:
'An ordinance relating to city elec
tions and the city organization and
manner of conducting elections," and
causing the first section to read as
follows: 1 hat for the purpose of mu
nicipal representative purposes hrdl
nicipal representatives the city of Al
bany is hereby divided into three
wards as follows: Ward 1, nil that
part of city lying west of the middle
line of Ferry street, to Fourth street,
thence to a point in the center of the
court house, then south of Fifth street
thence west to F'erry street, thence
to southern boundary of city. Ward
2, that part of city lying cast of east
ern boundary line of ward 1 to center
of Railroad street.. Ward 3, all that
part of city lying cast of ward 2. .
Following the first reading the till
was laid on the table indefinitely, hp
on the contention that' none of the
councilmen had given the matter in
telligent thought prior to the irttro
duction of the ordinance. i,
It appeared to some of the council
men that six members of I he comieil
were enough to transact the business
of the city and that there was no ne
cessity for a change in wards.
The ordinance is the result of the
fact that the third ward has nearly
twice the number of votes as any of
the other two wards and the purpose
of the ordinance was to annex a por
tion of this ward to the second ward.,
that the number of votes may be more ,
equal. It would mean that ward 2
would be extended two blocks cast to
Railroad from Maker street. It was
the desire of the framer to have it
passed at an early date in time to ar
range for the coming city election.
Rut now it is probable that nothing
will be done to it until the next citv
election if even then.
