Common Thing Now For Am bulance To Be Galled Gut To Attend Drunks. Surgeons at the emergency hospital are today indignant at the increasing tendency of apparently well-to-do peo ple to impose upon the charities de partment for treatment which should naturally be secured from local physi cians. The last and what appears to be a most flagrant cse came to the notice of Night Surgeon McDonald when a well dressed woman was brought to the ward last night ap parently suffering from epilepsy in duced by alcoholism. . After treatment the patient gave the surname '"Umstater" with a .chris tian name that has since learned to be fictitious. Reference to the direc tory also disclosed to the surgeon, that no such number as given "176 Golden Hill street," is recorded in the city directory, and both name and ad dress Is believed fictitious. It was stated at the charity depart ment today that the emergency ward ig maintained by the city ' for cases needing the most Urgent treatment, or for those to whom payments to physicians would be an extreme hard ship. Not only recently has the pub lic begun to call the ambulance for ordinary cases of intoxication, ut per sons .well able to pay for medical at' tion have applied for treatment. This last . case - is considered most inconsiderate both from its medical standpoint and the fact that the name of a most respectable family was un- warran;tedly used to hide the identity of the . real applicant. A most care, ful scrutiny of the names and ad dresses given by future applicants is likely to result. , PUNTER'S FINE OLD AGE At 92 Well Known Resident " Appears As Witness In , - Court. ... it' ; ; One- of the oldest men in Bridge port appeared in the city court today in the person of James Flinter, ,443 Harral avenue, -who was a witness in a minor case. - After the court session . Mr. FMnter, who is 92 years old, related many amusing anecdotes "of old ' Bridgeport and gave several rtjovel, reasons for bis longevity, principal among which is the asserted fact that he has seldom slept more than, two hours Out of twenty-four during most of his minority. He 'believes . in , constant activity, the use of tobacco and drink to ' modera tion. - "'-. - Flinter has been one of the hardest workers produced by this city. As a steamboat man he is known in all eastern waters and his feats ; of' her culean strength are ofteri icited to those who aspire for laurels. , - Born in the Wlcklow mounSuns, Ire land, in the year 1821, he -came to tJMs country In the latter part of the year 1848 when the first rush to the Call fornia-"Gold Fields began. So great was the rush from the old country that the ship- "Isaac Webb,": a full-rigged vessel still afloat according to the- re lator, had on board 1764 passengers be side the crew: It took- about - five months to make the voyage.. Landing in New York cite it was his intention to first see that city and then go west, when upon his sec ond week's stay, while wandering up the East River he was told of a trad ing' vessel scheduled to sail for Bridge port. Inquiring about the destination he was told that Bridgeport was in Fairfield county. This reminded him that a brother who had preceded him to the states had mentioned . living in that section and he journeyed here in the hopes that he 'might find him. He had been here the better part of a day without finding anyone yfho knew Tom Flinter, his. brother, and had purchased a "ticket to Pittsfield, over the Housatonic irailrotad when he met "Big . Bill" Smith, a colored cab-driver,: - of whom he inquired if there" was not an Irish cabman In the city. ' - He was referred to John Kelly, who then -drove a cab, and who later per ished in the river when' his team ran off the dock. Kelly asked him his name. Flinter replied, "There is no use tellling you my name as ydtr nev er heard similar in- your' life." It appeared however, that Kelly had and also knew his brother, Thomas Flin ter . who .lived where . Seaside Park now graces the Sound. In fact it was the same Tom who planted the mas sive elm tree in front of the Mallory residence on Park Place, said to be the grandest tree in Connecticut. With the exception of a few years absence during the civil war when he was employed on a government trans port, Mr. Flinter has spent his days since '48 in Bridgeport, where he is respected by his friends. He is the father of a well known teacher In the public schools. In speaking of his- friends today Mr.t Flinter has to look, back over two generations and says when he really wants-to remember them he has to Journey through the cemeteries and read inscriptions on th tombstones which refreshes his memory to many Incidents long since passed. - On the matter of sleep he is firmly fixed and if you ask him why he only seeks two hours each night, he will i present his hard and rock-like muscles for your inspection and tell you "Both your father and grand father died in bed; I am alive and still want to live. You must be active to stay alive in this world." Mr. Flinter pursued the vocation of landscape gardner. , TO SUCCEED. AS CHIEF ' ENGINEER OF THE ARMY Washington, Sept. 26 Col. Dan C.

People of the East End complain that the crushed stone taken from Connecticut avenue and Stratford ave nue is being used as a fill on a- pub He dump. A citizen who talked about the mat ter today, said: "This material is worth $3 per two horse load. It is very wasteful to use in place of ashes or dirt, for filling purposes, and bus iness efficiency requires its use to im prove some of the sandy, muddy and badly kept side streets leading from Connecticut avenue and Stratford ave nue. "There is enough of this material to put a large surface of these side streets in condition. The hauls would be short, and the work could be cheaply dene. "The stuff that is being removed to the public dump is nearly as good as new crushed stone, and is very much better as a street surface than the mud and sand which is the best many streets in the East " End show. "Crushed stone at the wharf or car Is worth perhaps in the average dollar a ton. There will be three tons on a two horse load. It is worth something to haul the stone from the car, to which place where it is to be used. I think I am well inside the mark when I say that a two "horse load of the material from Stratford avenue is worth $3."

Goes Outside of Specific Relations In Indictment Presiding Judge Cullen Upholds Sulzer's Counsel In Schiff Testimony! Albany, Sept. 2 5 The court of im peachment for the trial of Governor Sulzer, today, unanimously voted in favor of admitting all testimony in reference to alleged campaign contri butions received by the governor not specified in the articles of impeach ment. The ayes .were 55. The decision came after Attorney John B Stanchfleld for the impeach ment managers had declared that the contributions which the governor re ceived were Vastly in -excess of those specified in the articles of impeach ment. "These transactions a hundred or more in number," asserted Mr. Stanch field, "constituted a common scheme, a design on the part of the respondent to display certain contributions and conceal others. I concede that the failure to report one might have been accident, two a coincidence, but to fail to account for a hundred is a crime." The question as to the admissibility of evidence to prove these transac tions arose when the prosecution placed Morris .Tekulsky, a New York City liquor dealer, on the stand and began to ask him about campaign con tributions. His name had not previ ously been mentioned in the case. Louis Marshall, of . the governor's counsel, protested against the admis sion of the witness' testimony on the ground that the name of the witness had not been specifically mentioned in the articles of impeachment. Presiding Judge Cullen then rend ered a long opinion on the question, at the conclusion of which he an nounced that he would overrule the motion and submit it to a Vote of the court. The presiding judge said that if the present case were a criminal trial he would be disposed to exclude evidence on' charges not specified in the indictment. "This-case," he said, "should . be construed with greater latitude." He added that Article 6, of the articles of impeachment, had mentioned the re ceipt of $30,000 by the governor with out naming the donors and that coun sel for the respondent- had ample op portunity to ask for -'mll of pstrticu This," said Judge Oiillen, "they did not do. Cd"td journed for the noon re- cess .with Tekulsky still on the stand. In view of the testimony of Jacob Schiff, the New York banker, yes terday, that he contributed $2,500 to Gov. Sulzer s campaign fund, with no restrictions on how it should be spent, the prosecution planned to recall him to the witness stand at the impeach ment proceedings, today. Counsel for the impeached gover nor regarded the testimony of Mr. Schiff as a big legal victory for them, Both the Senate and Assembly will reconvene, tonight. Majority Leader Aaron J. Levy was expected to resume his attempt -to round up enough mem bers of the assembly to guarantee the passage of 'the additional impeach ment charges. Seventy-six votes were required and" the assembly adjourned last weeK, oniy wnen jjevy, arxer desperate attempt, had failed to se cure the necessary number of votes. The charges which are said to have been drawn up .last .week, by the board of managers, were that the gov ernor made a pre-election promise to appoint Julius Broder state commis sioner of health; that he failed to ac count for his direct primary campaign fund and that he usurped the powers of the executive office after being im peached. . Conference between Sulzer and. his attorneys was protracted .till a late hour last night. Asked today if the testimony .yesterday had caused, any change in the defense's plan to put the governor on the stand, Judge D- Cady Herrick smiled and said, "I don't think it will be necessary now. At the outset of today's session, Ed gar T. Brackett moved to strike from the record the answer of Jacob 1. Schiff, yesterday, in which the witness said that he did not intend his $2,500 gift to Sulzer as "campaign expenses.'1 The intent of the witness cannot affect the intent of the receiver of the fund," argued Mr. Brackett. . Louis Marshall argued against the motion. "This case should toe consid ered," he said, "precisely the same as if we were trying an indictment as if the defendant had committed the crime of larceny. You cannot be made the victim of a crime of larceny when the giver places no restrictions on the gift he makes Mr. Brackett replied that the intent of the gift must be determined by the testimony of Mr. Schiff what Sulzer said when he asked for the check- that he asked for a campaign contri bution. Preceding, Judge Cullen refused to strike out the answer. If it was a ommon law larceny," said the judge, I should be certain that my ruling was correct, although there must be trespass in common law. I feel that the same ruling should apply here. may change my mind but for the time being I must reiterate my pre vious ruling." Judge Cullen added that Mr. Schiff'8 intention at the time and not his in tention at the present time, was the question that should be; considered.. "That's all we want," commented Mr. Marshall. . Thomas M. Godwin, the paying tell er of the Farmers Loan & Trust Co., was then recalled. - He was first questioned by John B. Stanchfleld concerning the instruc tion he had received from the attor ney for the trust company not to tes tify that signatures had not passed through the institution in which he is employed. Mr. Stanchfleld handed the witness check of the Frank V. Strauss Co. for $1,000. The check was endorsed by "William Sulzer." After some hes- itatlon, the witness said, "I am of the kia opinion that it is the signature of William Sulzer." He said he had communicated with Attorney Horan, representing the Farmers' Loan and Trust Co., after his testimony of yesterday but had received no specific instructions as to his testimony. Godwin then identified the signa- tures on the two checks he declined to identify, yesterday, those of Abraham Elkus for $500 and the Lyman H. Spaulding check for $100. The witness then identified the fal lowing deposits as having been made in his institution by William Sulzer between September 12, 1912, and his inauguration: September 12, 1912, bills $3,500; Sep tember 25, 1912, bills $4,000; October 9, 1912, bills $1,400; October 10, 1912, bills $2,500; December 8, 1912, bills $3,000. Total $14,400. Abram E-lkus was called to the wit ness stand. Mr. Ettkus is a regent of the University of the State of New York, and said he knew William Sul zer for about 20 years. .He identified a copy of a letter he had written Mr. Sulzer on October . In the letter, Mr. Elkus, after congratulating the governor-elect upon his nomination said : "I know congratulations are very pleasant and very nice but a cam paign to be successfully conducted, re quires something more than words and so I am enclosing my check for $500 to aid in the expenses of your cam paign." Mr. Elkins identified -the check en closed in the letter. Mr. Stanchfleld then produced the governor's letter in reply. It was very brief. It thank ed Mr. Elkus, many, many times, and said, "I appreciate every word you eay and all you have done."' "I suppose," queried Mr. Stanchfleld, "it did not escape your notice that in the reply there. was no acknowledge ment of the receipt of the check? Objection by Mr, Marshall was sus tained. ' Cross-examined by Mr. Marshall, the witness was queried as to his in. tent in making the gift. Mr; Staneb.. field objected. This precipitated a wrangle In which Judges and Sena tors joined. "I have grave doubts," said Judge Hiscock,. "as to the admission of that evidence but :I have no objection to admitting it if we reserve the right to decide the question at the end of the trial." v Senator Brown objected that 'one violation leads to another," and sug gested that the vote be taken at once Mr. Marshall offered to withdraw his question but Mr. Stanchfleld objected and made a plea for immediate dec! slon. , The presiding judge said he would look further into the law on the mat ter before rendering a final opinion. Mr. Elkus was then excused with out having to answer the question. Webb Floyd, president of the Mutual Alliance Trust Company, was ques tioned concerning the account of Louis A. Sarecky, Gov. Sulzer's campaign secretary, with that company. The ac count, the witness said, was opened in August, 1912, with, a deposit of $435, and that between October 1 and De cember 31, 1912, the total deposits amounted to . $14,066.85. . The balance on December 31, he said was $489.19. The deposit slips used by Sarecky between the dates mentioned , were placed in evidence. Mr. Floyd was not asked to Identify them as the gov ernor's counsel conceded that they could be made part of the record. One of the deposits on October 15, was the Schiff contribution of $2,500, the witness .testified. After Mr. Floyd had identified Sa- recky's signature. Attorney Stanchfleld announced that counsel for the man agers had tried unsuccessfully lo cate Sarecky and he asked that Judge Herrick inform the managers' counsel of the whereabouts not only of Sa recky tout also of Frederick L. Col- well. ' Judge Herrick said Sarecky "has been in this city and has advertised his whereabouts. We expect to have Mr. Sarecky here as a witness. I do not know of . - Mr. Colwell's where abouts, but we expect Ho have him as a witness." "Will you endeavor to have him here by tomorrow or Monday?" asked Mr. Stanchfleld. "On that I will confer with my associates," replied Mr. Her rick. STEWARD MILLER RECOVERS FROM BURNS Charles W. Miller, the affable stew ard at Lakeview Home, who was so badly burned by the explosion of a barrel of liniment last week, as to be confined to his rooms with possible danger of losing his eyesight, is re ported by Dr. McQueer.ey as being much improved. It is expected that he will soon be able to return to duty, though the marks of burns about the face and hands may remain for some time. Miller was drawing off the liquid when it became ignited in some unknown manner, but prob- rbly due to chemical admixture. The will of Caroline Miller was ad mitted to probate today. Christina LaTour was named and qualified as executrix. Mayor Wilson has received a request from Hon.

BULLISH SHOWING III STOCK MARKET New ' YorkiiSept. 25 Openinsr A sharp reversal, of form was di.sji,s.j ... in the strong tone of the stock mar ket during the day's early trading. Large buying orders were distributed in Union Pacific, Steel and Amalga mated at the opening, on the theory that the short interest had -been in creased sufficiently by the operations of the last two days to justify a bull ish demonstration. Bear traders found it impossible to buy stock . around -yesterday's closing levels and t their efforts to cover gave added im- ; petus to the upturn.
