TELLS PROGRESSIVE STATE COM
MITTEE MEETING THAT THE ONE
CONCERN OF VOTERS OF NEW
YORK STATE THIS FALL IS THE
OVERTHROW OF TAMMANY.
RECALL BY MURPHY OR
BY THE PEOPLE, WHICH?
Rochester, N. Y., Sept.
27. Pro-
gressive leailers. stale ami
national.
Including Tnennnra Jloosevem.
Jloosevrff. .vere
here today for the state conference of
Hie party to name candidates for chief
judge and associate judge of the
state court of appeals and formulate
plans for the future of the party in
the state.
After a meeting of the executive
committee, it was predicted that Unit
ed States District Judge Learned
Hand and Supreme Court Justice
Samuel Seabury, both of New York,
would be nominated for chief judge
and associate judge, respectively.
A rumor that a boom for Roosevelt
for governor would be launched at
today's conference was denied.
In an address before the state com
mittee of the Progressive party here
today, Colonel Roosevelt declared that
in the election in New York state this
fall, the dominant concern of the peo
ple should be to "prevent Tammany
from obtaining complete control of
the state" and that "to this the lesser
issues must give way."
In voting against Tammany, howev
er, Colonel Roosevelt urged the vot
ers to support the Progressive party
candidates to the end that they might
"defeat Tammany without enthroning
the Barnes Republican machine in its
place."
"This year," said the Colonel, "there
are four matters of supreme political
import for decision before the people
of the commonwealth. The first, the
election of an assembly, stands by it
self. The other three are: First the
attempted impeachment of the gov
ernor of the state; second, the city
election in the city of New York, and
third, the election of two judges of the
court of anpeals.
"As to e:'.eh of these four issues, the
overthrow of Tammany is the chief
issue." After impressing that the
Progressive party was waging war
against "corrupt machines" Colonel
Roosevelt said:
"At this moment that which con
tains the most of menace to all offr
state is Tammany hall. In New York
city we progressives are doing all that
wo can to elect a non-partisan ticket,
headed by a Progressive Democrat, a
tried and excellent public official, John
Purroy Mitchell, so as to keep the
municipal government out of the con
trol of Tammany hall and make It an
instrument not only for securing hon
esty in municipal affairs, but for bet
tering the living and working condi
tions of the men and women who toll
with their hands.
"In the same fashion, we battle
against Tammany hall, in the gover
norship fight because Tammany hall
is attacking the governor, not for
what he may have done before elec
tion, but because since election he has
stood for honesty and the rights of
the people. I wish to call the atten
tion of the "conservatives" who have
professed such horror of the Progres
sive doctrine of the popular recall to
just what has been done by Tammany
in the absence of the popular recall. I
ask you to consider whether you pre
fer the recall exercised by the people
themselves at the polls or the recall
exercised by Mr. Murphy at the end
of a telephone.
"I am not now discussing the mer
its of the charges nor the evidence
against Governor Sulzer. I am not
now speaking of any matter pending
before the court of impeachment nor
of the allegations that will be consid
ered by the court of Impeachment.
These allegations afford only the
nominal reason for his impeachment.
All the matters now produced before
that court were well known to the
leaders of Tammany hall at the time
they were calling Governor Sulzer a
second Andrew Johnson. They re
mained silent about them until the
governor refused to take his orders
from the boss of Tammany hall. The
real reason for the governor's Im
peachment may not come before the
body now trying him. But the real
reasons, the charges, must be passed
on by the people."
Colonel Roosevelt was the guest of
the chamber of commerce at luncheon
"nd delivered an address In which he
discussed big business and the gov
ernment attitude towards it. From
the luncheon he was driven to conven
tion hall to address the conference of
Progressive delegates.

DISAGREEMENT WILL BE
REPORTED ON FUTURES
CONFEREES ON TARIFF MEASURE AGREE
ON EVERY OTHER ITEM BUT TAX ON
ON COTTON TRADING.--BILL WILL BE
REPORTED TO THE TWO HOUSES ON
MONDAY.
Washington, D. C, Sept. 27. Demo
crats of the joint tariff conference
committee went to work today on the
proofs of the conference report to be
submitted to congress early next
week. All disputes had been compro
mised between the two houses, except
the proposed tax on cotton futures. On
that a final disagreement will be re
ported to each house. Under that ar
langement house and senate will be
compelled to vote on the conterence
report as a whole except the cotton fu
ture amendment. The remainder of
the report must be accepted or re
jected without amendment; while the
cotton future amendment cau be sent
tack to conference with further in
structions to the conferees.
Representative Unlerwood today
introduced In the house the Smith
Lever compromise cotton futures tax
provision so that it could be printed
and read by all members before the
conference report comes up for con
sideration. The provision is that
uhich it is expected the house will
next week instruct Its conferees to
adopt.
The compromise returns the tax of
one tenth of one cent per pound on all
purely speculative cotton grading.
The tax, however, would be reduced
lo the nominal sum of 50 cents for
what is known as a "contract" em
bracing 100 bales of 500 pounds each.
Ir. case the contract specifies certain
provisions that make it conform rigid
lv to the government's standard of
cotton grading.
Representative Underwood said
that when the tariff conference report
was taken up in the house Monday
or Tuesday, he would offer the plan
sr. an amendment. Senator Simmons
said he did not expect the senate to
change its attitude or to accept the
compromise in which case the entire
future tax probably would be dropped
out
At the conclusion of today's session
of the conference committee Senator
Simmons said experts had determined
that the revenue to be raised by the
new tariff law would be ample for
governmental needs.
Caused Panicky Condition.
New York, Sept. 27. The cotton
trade here was thrown into almost a
panicky condition today by an unfav
orable construction of Washington
dispatches relative to the cotton fu
tures tax provision introduced by Rep.
Underwood. The dispatches did not
reach the trade until after the close
of the market, which had made new
high records this morning on an ex
cited general buying movement, and
many traders had altogether left the
exchange. Remaining operators, how
ever, attempted to liquidate their cot
ton privately and it was rumored that
January sold $1 a bale under the offi
cial closing figures.

Washington, D. C, Sept. 27. The
Tinted States mint at San Francisco
has been robbed, although It is be
hoved the amount is small. Treasury

SULZER'S TRIAL
GOES OVER TO
MONDAY
NO SESSION TODAY.--SUBPOENAS
GUT FOR G. L. COLWELL, WHO
FIGURED IN SULZER'S WALL ST.
TRANSACTIONS. GOVERNOR'S
SECRETARY IS SUMMONED.
GARRISON MUST
REMAIN IN PRISON
Albany, N. Y., Sept. 27. Chester
C. Piatt, secretary to Governor Sulzer
today was subpoenaed as a witness for
the board of managers in the Impeach
ment trial of the governor. He was
served in the executive chamber.
The big unanswerable question In
Albany today was whether Frederick
L. Colwell, Governor Sulzer's alleged
"dummy" in his Wall street deals,
would testify in the trial of the im
peached executive. There was no ses
sion of the court today. Twice within
the last week, counsel for the board
of managers has called on Governor
Sulzer's attorneys to produce Colwell.
Their reply was that the matter had
been left, in the hands of Senator Har
vey D. Hinhan, one of the governor's
attorneys. Hinman said Thursday that
he thought he would be able to reach
Colwell by night. But he did not. This
morning, he said the whereabouts of
Colwell were still unknown to him.
Hudson, N. Y., was the scene of the
only actual activity in the Sulzer case
today. There James C. Garrison, a
former state employe and personal
friend of the governor, had a hearing
before the supreme court justice,
Cochrane, on an application for a
writ of habeas corpus to obtain his re
lease from the penitentiary. He is
held for contempt of the assembly.
Piatt is to be questioned Monday in
relations to the governor's alleged
bartering of bis political influence in
connection with certain highway im
provements. The seventh article of the impeach
ment charges contains the allegation
that the governor promised Assembly
man H. G. Prime. Jr., that if he would
work for legislation' in which the gov
ernor was interested he would sign a
bill already passed by the legislature
appropriating $800,000 for the im
provement of highways in Prime's sec
tion of the state.
Must Stay in Jail.
Hudson, N. Y., Sept, 27. James C.
Garrison, friend of Governor Sulzer,
and former state employe, who made
charges against certain assemblymen
and declined to testify regarding them
before the assembly, must remain in
the Albany penitentiary until the as
sembly managers see fit to release
him or this session of the legislature
expires.
Supreme Court Justice Cochran's
sitting in the case of Garrison's ap
plication for a writ of habeas corpus
so decided this afternoon.
The court ruled that the assembly
bad acted as a court, and, therefore he
had no right to interfere with its rul
ing. Garrison's attorney announced ha
would appeal the case.
