THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1913. 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.

U SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.—Another San Francisco minister is to become an •undertaker. Rev. Nat Freed, pastor of ♦•the Howard Presbyterian church, an nounced today that he would resign his ^pastorate next Sunday in order to take -up the new work. ~ “The undertaking field,” he said, "will ^give me an even greater opportunity Zffor social service than the ministry. “Solacing those in sorrow and caring Zffor the dead has been so much a part |pf my pastoral work that I do not look ^upon the-change as altering materially ; the purpose of my life.” Several months ago Rev.

EBJJILL GRAND FACTORY LOSES EXPRESS OFFICIALS ASK NEW TRIAL FOB 125,010 IN BIG FIRE DECLARE IDENTITY DYNAMITE GANGSTERS 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 been pressing against the brain, trans ferred Janos Szikely, an inmate of the New Jersey state prison, from an insane and vicious convict to a normal man.

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. DOTHAN, Ala., Sept. 15.-—The fac tory of the Houston Guano company was destroyed by fire at 9 o’clock last night entailing a loss of $25,000 with insurance of only $4,500. J. R. Faircloth, president of the com pany, stated that there were $1,500 tons of acid phosphate and 100 tons of mu riate of potash stored in the building. Some of this fertilizer material proba bly can be saved. The building and machinery are a total loss. The factory was located near the heart of the city, just in the rear of business district, and the blaze endan 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. OF THIEFJS KNOWN Hourly Arrests Are Expected in Case of $71,900 Robbery From Car of Southern Ex press Co, Going to Savannah ARE REP0RIE0 SLAIN Believed Peruvian Indians Killed Party Trailing Between Two Inca Cities (By Associated Press.) CHICAGO, Sept. 15.—William L. Page and Wilber F. Cromer, of Chicago, commissioned to explore head waters of the* Amazon, are believed by rela tives to have been slain by South Amer ican natives. Advices received today from the Peruvian government state that an ex pedition found a group of Indians in possession of Page and Cromer’s guns, baggage and other property. The Americans attempted to lay out a trail between the Old Inca cities of Chiquita and Pajalen. IAN GETS PLAGE WITH PANAMA, ROAD Harry 0. Foster, of Waynes boro, Leaves Washington for 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 Door and Fires Two Shots Into His Temple 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.” Goes to the Root of Stopped-up noses Constant “frog-in-the-throat’* Nasal discharges Hawking and spitting Snoring at night Bad Breath Frequent colds Difficult breathing Smothering sensation in dreamt Sudden fits of sneezing Dry mucus in nose and any of the other symptom! that indicate approaching oj present catarrh.

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 us during the past two years with exact ly the same results.” He Is Said to Have Stolen $90,000 From Alabama State Convict Department (By Associated Press.)

MIUGHTON'S FATE KNOWN BY OCTOBER 1 Governor Will Hold Hearing on 1 Prison Commission Recom mendation 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.

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.
