FLASH THE GOODS
. ON GOV. SULZER
Investigating Committee See
Check for $600 Giv®n Him
For Campaign.
New York, Aug. 8—The spe
cial legislative committee in
vestigating the charges against
Governor Sulzer were surprised
today whe a check for $500.00,
given to Governor Sulzer, then
congressman, for campaign pur
poses, was shown in evidence,
■endorsed by Governor Sulzer.
A careful examination of the
sworn statement tiled under the
law by the governor, of his
■campaign expenses, failed to
show the item of $500 from the
Wall street operator.
The enemies of the governor
claim they will prove that he
promised to sign certain labor
legislation in return Tor support
from the unions; that he receiv
ed many other checks which he
failed to report; that he was
guilty of unprofessional conduct
in the handling of a will case for
a widbw some years ago and that
he tried to hold her up for a
$10,000 fee for work worth a few
huhlreds and then very poorly
done and that the judge and
prosecuting attorney recom
mended his disbarrment at that
,time, but that no action was tak
en and they also assert that, a
still greater sensation will be
sprung before the investigation
is completed.
Governor Sulzer denied having
attempted to conceal the contri
bution from his Wall street
friend, but that it was overlook
ed in making his report, as he
did not keep, books on his cam
paign expenses.
It « now almost certain that
the governor will be Impeached
and may be driven from his office
in disgrace.

NO CHANCE TO
CONVICT Dices
Judge Rules Government Must
Prove Girls Taken to R®no for
Immoral Purposes.
San Francisco, Aug. 8.—The
jury to try Maury Diggs, the
young business man charged with
violating the white slave act, was
completed today and the attor
neys for the government and for
the defense locked horns lover
the proposition of what consti
tuted a violation of the law and
the judge held that the prosecu
tion must show that the girls
were taken to Reno for immoral
purposes and that the intention
of the parties to live together
must have been arranged for be
fore the parties left the state and
not after arrival at Reno, other
wise the federal statute would
not apply.
In order to be a violation of
the Mann act the girls must have
been taken from California to
Nevada for immoral purposes,
whereas, if they left merely for
a pleasure trip and later the men
secured the consent of the girls
to go to the h/)tel and register
as man and wife the state law
must apply, said the judge.
The decision is a body blow
to the government, as they will
3be unable to prove the intent,
but claim they can easily dem
onstrate the fact.

ious—Clark Probe Would
Embarrass President.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 8—
Senator Bacon, in a long speech
to the Senate this morning, pled
for harmony among the members
of the Senate on the Mexican
situation, declaring that the con
dition on the bordering republic
is the gravest it has been for
many years and that one false
move will start a conflagration
that no man can fortell the end
of, not saying anything of the
damage and misery it will cause.
The Georgia senator denounced
the Clark resolution, claiming
that il could do no good and
would only embarrass the presi
dent, who is frying to handle the
situation with the least amount
of friction.
Senator Clark’s resolution pro
vided for the probing of the1 Mex
ican situation, the precautions
taken by the Slate department to
protect lives of Americans now
in that country, the number of
(American citizens who have been
murdered and an account of
those who are now in prison and
the reasons therefor.

Mrs. Suskey, arrived on the Mar

Washington, D. C., Aug. 8.—
Senator Warren, of Wyoming,
made a severe attack on the Dem
ocratic tariff measure today when
the schedule to lower the rate on

HP by the manufacturers of
America employing thousands

under the. low rates on the pres
ent tariff, said Senator Warren.

VALDEZ ROUTE
IS THE BEST
So States John Hanson, Who Will
Leave in a Few Days for
the New Dggings.
John Hanson, formerly (con
nected with the Valdez Mercan
tile company, was an arrival on
the Mariposa en route to the
Shu'shana, having been tele
graphed for by his partner, Carl
Whitman, who has spent several
years in the White river section
prospecting, leaving each spring
from Gulkaa and going in via the
upper Copper river.
as no shipments of horses could
be brought north on the Maripo
sa because of the heavy freight
cargo to Southeastern Alaska,
Mr. Hanson was unable to bring
slock with him and he will await
the arrival of the Northwestern,
on which will be two horses,
which will be used to pack in a
small out lit into the new coun
try.
Mr. Hanson is farniiar with the
many routes into the scene of
the new strike and will go via
the government road to Gulkana,
thence up the' Copper to its head
and drop across the divide into
Tanana river, of which the Shu
shana is a branch.
In time, says Mr. 'Hanson, the
other prospectors will find that
the best route to the Shushana
is via Valdez and up the Copper,
but they are anxious to make fast
time and are headed for McCar
ty and will go in over the gla
cier, but are sure to encounter
many storms on the Scolai gla
cier, which blocks the pass, and
•may be delayed for days at a
time, while on the Valdez-Copper
route no divide's of any conse
quence are encountered, no bad
streams except those bridged by
the commission and good feed
can be secured all along the route
for stock.
Mr. Hanson and Sam Nelson,
the latter is with the stock on
the Northwestern, will leave im
mediately on Ihe arrival of the
boat.

It is generally believed here in
official circles that Provisional
President Huerta is only bluf
