BREWER HURIS SULZER
BY SERIOUS TESTIMBNTf
Says He Collected $50,000
for Campaign Which Sulzer
Did Not Account For
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. . 16.—-Th assem
bly board of managers for the impeach
ment of Governor Sulzer announced to
day that Charles Dersch, a salesman al
lied with the brewery interests, had
testified privately that he had col
lected nearly $50,000 for Sulzer’s cam
paign, which was not accounted for
by the governor in his statement of
campaign contributions.
The announcement was made by As
semblyman Aaron J. Levy, chairman of
the board of managers, when the board
met to continue its investigations to
day for the purpose of gathering evi
dence for the prosecution at the im
peachment trial. Mr. Dersch yester
day was allowed to testify in pri-
** vate.
The $50,000, Mr. Levy said, had been
’’-^collected from the brewing and malting
'■interests. He declined to give details
£of Dersch’s testimony which will be laid
before the impeachment court.
The announcement was made by As
semblyman Aaron J. Levy, chairman
of the board of managers, when the
board met to continue its investigations
today for the purpose of gathering evi
dence for the prosecution at the im
peachment trial.
Mr. Dorsch was one of the witnesses
called yesterday, but at his request
he was allowed to give his testimony in
private. The $50,000, Mr. Levy said,
had been collected from the brewing
and malting’ interests.
"This is the most sensational evi
dence we have got yet,” said Mr. Levy.
He declined to give details of Dorsch’s
testimony, which will be laid before the
impeachment trial.
Justice Chester, of the state supreme
court, today denied an application for
a writ brought in a taxpayer’s action
designed to prohibit Governor Sulzer’s
impeachment trial.
Mr. Levy said he did not believe Gov
ernor Sulzer would ever stand for trial.
He declined to • give the name of the
New York lawyer who had queried him.
He added, however:
"This man, a former office holder,
called to see me this morning. In his
opinion Governor Sulzer will never come
to trial He asked me if I would con-
eider recommending a man like Alton
B. Parker to go to Sulzer and take
proofs of the charges against him that
we have and advise him to resign and
save himself from the indignity and
humiliation of a trial. $ said, of course,
I couldn’t do that.”
Mr. Levy was asked if he did not
think Governor Sulzer already knew
what these proofs were.
“No, he does not,” was the reply.
Jefferson M. Levy, who succeeded
Sulzer in congress when he became
governor, called at the office of the
impeachment managers today and was
examined in private.
The managers would not say just
what they expected to unearth regarding
Sulzer’s records in his old congression
al district.

Journal’s Prediction of Week
Ago Fulfilled in Appointments
by Governor by Which Three
Courts Are Shifted
Building in Heart of City at
Dothan, Ala,, Destroyed by
Vicious Blaze
Governor John M. Slaton yesterday
announced appointments incident to
the new Atlanta judgeship exactly as
The Journal exclusively predicted last
Wednesday.
His appointments are as follows:
To the fourth division of the Fulton
superior court, Judge Benjamin Har
vey Hill, chief justice of the state
court of appeals.
To succeed Judge Hill on the court
of appeals. Judge L. S. Roan, of the
Stone Mountain circuit.
To succeed Judge Roan on the Stone
Mountain circuit, Charles S. Reid, so
licitor general of the circuit.
To succeed Mr. Reid as solicitor gen
eral, George M. Napier, of the Atlanta
bar.
EFFECTIVE IN OCTOBER.
The appointments will not become ef
fective until cases now pending before
the fcourt of appeals have been disposed
of. The governor said Judge Hill ex
pected the court to finish by October
6, on which date the new docket will
be taken up, and if the judge’s expecta
tions are correct the appointments will
go into effect on October 6, although, if
necessary, they will wait a few days
for the court to finish.
The reason for waiting, as will be
obvious to lawyers; is that it was con
sidered proper for court of appeals
cases, having been heard by the full
court, to be decided by the fall court,
instead of by two judges—which would
happen if Judge Hill should leave , the
court now. \
Also, several motions are pending be
fore Judge Roan which he is desirous
of disposing of before he leaves, and
Soliictor Reid also has a number of
matters to wind up.
Most important of all Judge Roan’s
pending motions is the motion of Leo
M. Frank’s attorneys for a new trial,
which is set for a hearing on October
4. There is a possibility, however, that
this hearing might be % postponed, in
which event the appointments would not
wait and it would therefore devolve
on Judge Hill to rule on the motion.
As above said, The Journal’s exclusive
story last Wednesday predicted the
judgeship appointments exactly. The
Journal did not undertake to predict the
governor’s selection of a solicitor to
succeed Mr. Reid, as there were several
in the race and at that time the result
seemed more os less up in the air.
THE NEW JUDGESHIP.
The fourth division of the Fulton
superior court was created by special
act of the last legislature, and is to
handle criminal business. It is made
necessary by the large and constantly
increasing cases in Atlanta, which here,
as everywhere, keep pace with the In
crease in population.
Several years ago it became neces
sary for the legislature to pass a spe
cial act authorizing the judge of the
Stone Mountain circuit to preside
regularly over the criminal division of
the Fulton superior court, and Judge
Roan has performed this duty, he be
ing judge of the Stone Mountain cir
cuit at the ttrne the act was passed and
continuously ever since. He served
without extra salary for a number of
years, but for the last few years Ful
ton county has been supplementing his
Stone Mountain circuit salary of $3,000
per year with an extra of $2,000 per
year, thereby putting him on the same
salary basis as the regular presiding
judges of the other divisions of the
Fulton superior court.
SALARY IS $5,000.
The new judgeship carries the same
salary—$5,000 per year—but the court
of appeals, to which high bench Judge
Roan is now commissioned, pays only
$4,000 per year. Thus Judge Roan goes
to a higher court on a smaller salary,
while Judge Hill comes to a lower
court on a higher salary.
Judge Hill is the son and namesake
of Benjamin Harvey Hill, one of the
greatest orators and statesmen that
Georgia has ever produced, whose
marble image stands in a lobby of the
state capitol at the foot of the stairway
leading up to the state’s high courts.
Judge Hill has been chief justice of
the court of appeals since it was cre
ated in 1907. He served as solicitor-
general of the Fulton superior court
for eight years, being succeeded by
his brilliant brother, Charles D. Hill,
He served four years as United States
district attorney in the northern dis
trict of Georgia, under President Cleve
land.
Solicitor-General Reid has served t 4 he
Stone Mountain circuit for several years,
and proven his ability as one of the best
criminal lawyers in the state. His
home is at Palmetto, Ga.
George M, Napier, who succeeds Mr.
Reid, is a member of the law firm of
Napier, Wright & Cox, one of the lead
ing firms at the Atlanta bar. He is
a past grand master of the grand lodge
of Georgia Masons. His home is at De
catur, Ga.
Operation on Skull
Changes Mad Convict
To Normal Condition
(By Associated Press.)
TRENTON. N. J., Sept. 15.-The re
moval of a growth of bone one and a half
inches thick from the skull where it had

ferred Janos Szikely, an inmate of the
New Jersey state prison, from an insane
and vicious convict to a normal man.
Szikely was received at the prison two
years ago. He was convicted of killing a
Hungarian, in a drunken brawl. Doctors
discovered that he was suffering from the
results of a fractured skull. The man
failed in health gradually and become a
maniac, vicious and unable to care for
himself.
An operation was performed and since
he has improved rapidly and keeps the at
tendants busy finding work for him to
do about the hospital ward.

gered this whole section. The fire Is
said to ahve been of incendiary origin.
Many complaints had been made on ac
count of the fumes from the factory
and it is likely that it will be rebuilt
in a new location.

Harry 0. Foster, of Waynes

Colon Next Week
(By XtAIiFH SMITH.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Harry O.
Foster, of Waynesboro, has been given a
desirable position in the service of the
Panama railroad, and will sail next week
for Colon to assume his new duties. He
will be in the office of General Superin
tendent J. D. Patterson.
Foster has been in the employ of
Senator Hoke Smith for some time as a
stenographer. He will be succeeded by
Morris K. Harralson, of Atlanta, who
was with Senator Smith during his last
service as governor.
Arrests in connection with the $71,-
900 express robbery, which occurred be
tween New York and Savannah, are ex
pected within the next few hours.
Special dispatches to The Journal
from its Savannah correspondent Fri
day afternoon were to the effect that
a Pinkerton detective—supposedly Har
ry Scott, of Atlanta, and a special de
tective of the Southern Express com
pany, left Savannah Friday morning, os
tensibly for Atlanta,
It is understood that these detectives
have picked up a very live clew as to
the identity of the robber and that they
have gone to take him in custody. This
report is strengthened by an Associated
Press dispatch from Savannah, which
says that the officials of the express
company have admitted that they know
who the robber is, and that they ex
pect him to be taken in custody at al
most any minute.
Officials Declare They
Know Who Thief Is
SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. 12.—Accord
ing to a high official of the Southern
Express company in Savannah this
morning, arrests may be expected at al
most any moment in connection with the
removal of the consignment of $71,900
from the small shipping safe destined
for the Savannah Bank and Trust com
pany, oij this city, and for financial in
stitutions in Brunswick, Valdosta and
Albany.
This official in the presence of Mr.
Thomas J. Watts, chief special agent of
the Southern Express company, who had
Just made a report upon the course of
the investigation which is being con
ducted declared that there was in the
hands of the men who are trailing the
lest sum information which placed them
in a position so that they know almost
to a final certainty exactly who took the
large consignment of cash and just
where it was removed from the small
safe in which it was sealed in the pres
ence of the officials of the cashier of
the Chase National bank, of New York,
by the Adams Express company.
Mr. Watts is in direct personal charge
of the investigation which he is con
ducting from Savannah. The fact that
Savannah is the base of operations, how
ever, it was stated, specifically had no
further significance than that this was
a central location and the activities of
detectives and special agents, distribut
ed from Jersey City south, could be di
rected with better facility and dispatch
than from any other large city along
the line. Just where the lightning
will strike, however, and when, the of
ficial would not state, nor would he talk
of the prot-.ble time which would elapse
before an arrest would materialize.
He said it may be but a few hours, or
U might be a week, before an arrest was
made. From his manner, however, and
the general nature of the conversation,
it was strongly indicated thlft he ex
pected some immediate developments.
Appeal Document Is 725
Pages Long, Biggest Ever
Filed-in U. S,
(By Associated Press.)
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 15.—Federal
Attorney Charles W. Miller today added
a huge volume to the immense records
of the dynamite conspiracy trials when
he forwarded 725 pages, constituting
the government’s brief in the appeal of
the convicted dynamiters, to the United
States court of appeals at Chicago. It
is a remarkably brief document in rela
tion to the records of the cases, as
the evidence given in the trials last
winter alone filled 2,700 pages and the
defendants’ bills of exceptions consti
tuted five huge volumes totalling 6,000
pages.
More than half of the brief is de
voted to a restatement of the dynamite
conspiracy, and the part each thirty-
one convicted defendants, played in it.
It gives the government’s argument
against the error alleged by the de
fense in the consolidation of the trials
against the thirty-three defendants,
sets out the government’s refutation of
the objection to admission of testimo
ny by Ortie E. McManigal and Edward
Clarke, whom the defense would have
excluded as co-conspirators, and sup
ports the instructions by Judge Ander
son to the jury as having been fault
less. Jt
Of the nearly fifty men involved in
the indictments returned last year, thir
ty-three were found guilty and thirty-
one were sentenced to terms in Leaven
worth prison, two being released on pa
role.
The bill of exceptions was filed in
Chicago August 23.
The court of appeals will meet In
Chicago October 7, when the date of
the oral arguments in the appeal of the
dynamiting cases will be set.
Relief for Catarrh
Sufferers Now FREE
You Can Now Treat This Trouble in Your Own
Home and Get Relief at Once.
How the Remedy for Catarrh
Was Discovered.
HTHIS terrible disease has
A raged unchecked for
years simply because symp
toms have been treated while
the vicious germs that cause
the trouble have been left to
circulate in the blood, and
bring the disease back as fast as local
treatments could relieve it
C. £. Gauss, who experimented foi
years on a treatment for Catarrh, found
that after perfecting a balm that relieved
the nose and throat troubles quickly, he
could not prevent the trouble
beginning all over again.
On test cases, he could
completely remove all signs
of Catarrh from nose and
throat, but in a few weeks
they were back.
By the new
method the nose
and throat are
treated by an
effective local
remedy applied
directly to the
afflicted mem-
branes.
The Elixir,
taken into the
stomach, has a
direct influence
upon the mu
cous membranes
of the body and
cures the dis
ease by remov
ing the cause.
SHOOTS HIMSELF DEAD
Sandersville Man Barricades

Careful experiments and investigations have shown
that as the troubles were expelled from the nose and
throat, the real cause of the disease was overlooked
and in a short time the Catarrh would return stronger
than ever. Mr. Gauss has gone way ahead of the
ordinary methods of treatment and has provided a
remedy that
Kills the Germs in the Blood
and immediately gives re
lief to the nose and throat.
He perfected the New Combined Treatment, since
admitted to be the logical, sure, scientific method.
Reese Jones, of Scranton, Penn., says that after trying
many other treatments, he used this new method and— My
nose is now entirely clear and free and I am not bothered by
the disease any' more. The New Combined Treatment is
worth its weight in gold.”
Temporary relief from catarrh may be obtained in other
ways, but the New Combined Treatment must inevitably be
accepted for permanent results.
Sarah J. Cape. Mount Pelia, Tenn., says. “I ■ ■■■ ■*
suffered the pains and distress of catarrh for
thirteen years and needless to state, tried nearly
every method. But by your nfcw method I was
completely cured and you cannot imagine the joy
that has come over me.”

Mysterious Stranger
Gets, Two Dollars for
10 Cents Worth Fruit
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—A stranger
who makes at least one call on all prom
inent revenue cutter officers stationed in
Washington, paid a visit today to Cap
tain Bertholf, commandant of the serv
ice. The man. with apparent difference,
threw a bag of peaches on the captain s
desk and exclaimed: “One good turn,
captain, deserves another. You gave me
a quarter when I was hard up, and I
want you to know I haven't forgotten
it.”
“Why. I don’t remember the incident
at all, but it's all right,’’ replied the
officer.
“Everything’s all right, captain,” said
the stranger, “except that I need just
$2 to complete a huckster outfit.’’
Captain Bertholf is a charitable man
and he paid just 32 for that 10 cents’
worth of peaches. When he repeated the
story to Captain Charles A. McAllister,
engineer-in-chief of the service, the
latter laughed coldly.
“Stung!” he chortled. “That fellow
has told the same story to all the rest of

Move acids, gases and clog
ged waste from liver and

Get a 10-cent box now.
That awful sourness, belching of acid
and foul gases: that pain in the pit
of the stomach, the heartburn, nerv
ousness, nausea, bloating after eating,
dizziness and sick headache, means a
disordered stomach, which cannot be
regulated until you remove the cause.
It isn’t your stomach’s fault. Your
stomach is as good as any.
Try Cascarets; they immediately
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested and fermenting food and
foul gases; take the excess bile from
the liver and carry off the constipated
waste matter and poison from the
bowels. Then your stomach trouble is
ended. A Cascaret tonight will
straighten you out by morning—a 10-
cent box" from any drug store will
keep your stomach sweet; liver ana
bowels regular for months.. Don't
forget the children—their little insides
need a good, gentle cleansing, too.

Returns From Washington and
Discusses Elections for
County Dispensaries
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 15—Return

nor Blease Thursday morning issued
two statements, one dealing with the
overwhelming defeat of the anti-Blease
candidate for mayor of Spartanburg, in
which he saw evidence of increased
Blease strength, and the other connected
with the election for dispensary in Lex
ington, Williamsburg ana Sumter coun
ties. i
He said he was glad Sumter would
not have a dispensary because it was
an anti-Blease county, but he would be
very glad to see the other two coun
ties in the "wet” column. The state
ment was given in connection with the
action of the state board of canvassers
in throwing out the election in Sumter
and thus retaining it in the prohibition
ranks while affirming the action of the
lower boards in giving the dispensary
a majority in Lexington and Williams
burg counties.

PORTER CHARLTON
JAILED IN ITALY
Trial of Young American May
Go Over to April—May
Plead Insanity
(By Associated Press.)
COMO, Italy, Sept. 15.—i)r. Sala, part
of whose duties consists of a visit to
the prisoners in the Como jail every two
weeks, today examined Porter Charlton,
the young American.
Dr. Sala said it would be necessary to
make a further examination of the
prisoner before he could express defi
nite opinions concerning his mental and
physical condition. Charlton, however,
seems perfectly well and he eats and
sleeps regularly.
Dispatches from the United States
have hinted that Charlton’s defense
would include an allegation of insanity.
A long memorandum outlining his de
fense is now in the hands of the court
but has not been made public. The
trial will probably go over until April.
Within the next ten days or two
weeks Governor Slaton will hold a
hearing on the pardon petition of Dr.
W. J. MoNaughton, the Swalnsboro phy
sician, who is under sentence to be
hanged October 6. Dr. McNaughton's
fate Is now entirely In the governor’s
hands. The prison commission on
Thursday recommend a full pardon for
the condemned physician, but the gover
nor Is not compelled to follow the rec
ommendation of the commission.
He will use his own discretion in dis
posing of the case. A rather awkward
situation In connection with this case
Is presented to the governor by reason
of the fact that Judge T. E. Patterson,
one member of the prison commission,
dissents from the recommendation for
a full pardon. Judge Patterson submit
ted a statement to the governor In
which he gave it as his opinion that Dr,
McNaughton’s sentence should be com
muted to life Imprisonment, but that he
did not favor a pardon for him.
Governor Slaton already has begun a
study of the voluminous record In the
case and will thoroughly acquaint him
self with It before he sets the date for
the hearing which the attorneys repre
senting Dr. McNaughton and those rep
resenting the state will be invited to
attend.

OLD MEN BREAK RECORDS
FOR DISTANCE WALKING
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept 15.—Nothing has
ever been heard of the success of the
Old Men’s Pedestrian club, which was
formed in New York last spring with
the idea of reviving- enthusiasm for
walking In this age of vehicles, but in
dependently of club auspices, it is said
that pedestrianism Is regaining its place
as a sport In the environs of the me
tropolis.
Two unusual records are reported to
day and must be believed since they
are boasted of by two local judges.
Surrogate Herbert T. Ketcham, of
Brooklyn, sixty-two years old, has fin
ished a walking trip of 125 miles in
six days. He and his son, Philip, tramp
ed from a camp near Hawley, Pa., where
they had spent their vacation back to
