SULZER CHECKS
IN CAMPAIGN
New . York, Aug.- 7 Further develop
ments vwer expected, today, when ' the
nquiry;, Into;' the contributions, to Gov.
Sulzers campaign fund were resumed
by the Joint legislative investigating
committee.
When the hearing began, Eugene il"
Richards; counsel for the committee,
announced that no reply had been re
ceived to Senator Frawleys letter
sent yesterday to Gov. Sulzer inviting
him to appear before the committee.
Fhilip Bozer, of W. T. Langtry &
Co., and formerly of the stock brok
erage firm of Bozer, Griswold & Co.,
recently dissolved, testified that Fred
erick L. Colwell, who refused to say,
yesterday, whether he had recent bus
iness dealings with Gov. -Sulzer, gave
him. an order sometime last fall to
buylOO shares of the "Big Four" rail
road stock for cash. The- witness tes
tified that Sulzer had no account in
his own name with Bozer, Griswold &
Co. : ,
Mr. Bozer identified a check for'500
signed by John Lynn and endorsed
in Gov. Sulzers name, which, he eaid,
went through his firm. Mr. Richards
announced that he intended to prove
that this money, an alleged campaign
contribution, was used by Colwell in
the purchase of stock and that this
stock was the same stock which figur
ed in "mysterious account No. 500."
Mr. Richards then requested and ob
tained authority from the committee
to demand the appearance of CJolwell
and Melville D. Fuller, of Harris &
Fuller, stock brokers, before the com
mittee, tomorrow, under penalty of
their being summoned before the leg
islature on Monday and cited for con
tempt if they should persist in their
refusal of yesterday to answer ques
tions. ' " ' ' ;
Resuming his efforts to trace other
Sulzer campaign cheeks, Mr. Richards
summoned William Mamerck, employ
ed by -Theodore W. Myers, a banker.
Mamerck testified that a number of
checks ranging from $100 to $1,000
had passed through his firm, payable
some to cash and some to bearer. He
promised to produce, tomorrow, a rec
ord of 'these checks which were dated
in October, 1912. . - . -
A dozen or more Wall street' bank
ers and brokers, whom the committee
had endeavored to serve with sub
poenas, are out of town, Mr. Richards
announced. '

The fire department was called Out
this morning' about 7 o'clock to the
freight yard ' near Whitins street. A
most unusual cause js assigned for the
origin of the fire. It seems that a
freight car wa side-swiped by a pass
ing freight and created a spark which
was communicated to the combustible
contents of the car, -which consisted
chiefly of wood-alcohol. The firemen
experienced some difficulty 4n fighting
the blaze owing to the distance from
the nearest hydrant. The wooden
frame of the car was completely con
sumed and besides the loss of the
wtood alcohol, two pianos were . de
stroyed. Chief Mooney places the loss
at about $1,000. . . . . ..-.' .

I. WV AGITATING
GENERAL STRIKE
Oil GREAT LAKES
Superior, Wis., Aug.-7. Anticipating
an outbreak among Superior striking
dockworkers, the Great Northern to
day increased its special police force
from 4 to 60 men ' All are heavily
armed and the docks are being pa
trolled night and day.
At a mass meeting of strikers last
night, F. C. Little, Industrial Workers
of the World representative, read a
strike proclamation, but no action was
taken. Little eaid he hoped to call a
general strike which would affect al
sailors on the Great Lakes and work
ers on coal docks, lumber yards and
in the mills.
The ore companies, hitherto willing
to concede demands involving better
working conditions, have rescinded all
offers, declaring that by striking the
men broke an agreement made early
in the season, that .f ully 80 per cent,
of the men were willing to work and
that the strike is the result of Indus
trial Workers of the World agitation
and not because of the men's own de
sire to quit work. The Industrial
Workers of the World will send agita
tors to Two Harbors today to spread
the strike. "
