2 NEW FOES IN TRIAL FACE SULZER time he was collecting campaign con tributions had been received by the brokerage firm of Boyer, Griswold &. Co. as a part payment for stock. Close connections between Mr. Sulzer and Wall street were shown. Governor Sulzer gained a point in his favor when, by a vote of 49 to 2, the court gave permission to witnesses to say whether they expected Sulzer to use their campaign contributions lor actual political purposes or for any use his discretion might dictate. At least one witness stated that it was common knowledge that while Sulzer was running for governor he was virtually penniless. Attorney John B. Stanchfleld, coun sel for the managers, hotly resented this testimony, claiming that Sulzer had $40,000 on deposit when elected. K% !l)i:\t X DKM'HOVED Dan I*l M. Brady, president of a brass company, who contributed $100 to the Sulzer campaign fund, testified he had destroyed all evidence of his contribution after the governor had been impeached "to avoid trouble." The vote had been taken while for mer Judgfi Conlon was being ques tioned about a $1,000 contribution to Mr. Sulzer's campaign from the brok erage house of Boyer. Griswold & Co., through which Mr. Sulzer had bought a large block of Big Four stock. A number of the members of the court explained why they voted as they did. The result was a hard blow to the prosecution, as it took amny of the props from under the charge that the governor had made wrongful use of the money contrib uted for the express purpose of help ing elect him governor. Fireworks were expected when he got on the stand. Luitpold Mandelbaum followed Boyer upon the stand to corroborate some of the foregoing testimony as to contributions. During the noon request a request was sent to Speaker Smith of the as sembly to allow James C. Garrison, the newspaperman who is in jail for contempt of the assembly, to appear before the assembly at 4 p. m. to purge himself of the c harge. Garri son, who is a close friend of Gov ernor Sulzer. was jailed in connec tion with the impeachment of the state executive, is said to be ill. Just before the noon adjournment was taken the report that an at tempt would be made to show cotton market speculations on the part of Sulzer was exploded. Mr. Gwathmey was (ailed to the stand and testified he had given the governor $100 for his personal campaign, while Mr. Melville admitted giving $200. Philip Boyer, member of a broker age house with which Sulzed was car rying an account, testified that F. U Colwell, an intimate of the governor, bought 200 shares of Big Four stock on October 16 last, paying some cash and part of the balance with checks made out to William Sulzer by cot ton merchants who had given funds to the democratic party in this state. At this time it was announced that State Superintendent of Public Works G. W. Peck, who gave $500 to the Sulzer campaign, had been subpenaed and probably would testify late to- Judge Cady J. Herrick, of counsel for Sulzer. denied that Charles F. Murphy, Tammany leader in New York cily, had been subpenaed as a Witness.

Prosecution Contends Young Women Should Tell All in Jonquil House Case LOS ANGELES. Sept. 26. —A conflict, declared to be the sharpest yet fought ln the vice trial of Millionaire George- H. Bixby. is being waged in the court- j room today. If the defense is victorious the trial of Bixby will be speedily concluded, but If the prosecution wins Bixby will be exposed to the testimony of four or five young women who lived at the Jonquil apartments. Bixby escaped from this position earlier In the trial, but his own story, told yesterday, is declared by the prosecption to have opened the doors for the stories of the young women to go upon the record. The young women are the Misses Esther Cochran. Myrtle O'Dalr tor Adair). Helen Nieblas and Mrs. Irene Marie Brown Levy. When these young women were placed o nthe witness stand early in the trial, thp defense objected to any questions being asked of them about alleged improper relations be tween themselves and Bixby. The objections were based upon a con tended immateriality of the testi mony. Davis contended that Miss Barker, being the complaining witness, could testify about alleged improper rela tions, but that other alleged escapades of Bixby with the other young women are entirely outside the issues of this trial. Davis' objection was sustained by Judge Bledsoe. When Bixby was telling his story he denied ever having met the young woman in question. The -irosecution now contends that this denial of Bixby gives the right to ask the girls what they have to say. Miss Esther Cochran. 18 years old, is on the witness stand today, pa tiently awaiting the end of the legal battle. If these young women are permit ted to tell their stories Bixby may take the stand again to deny any charges they may make and give his version of events it is expected they will relate. The hank account of Attorney W. H. Stevens, who acted as attorney for Mrs. Irene Marie Brown Levy, Miss Cleo Helen Barker and Miss Jean Ellis in their suits against Fishy, will be shown in the courtroom to day.

Billiard Men Join to Eliminate the Word Poolroom Pocket Billiards Is New Name Given to What Is Generally- Termed Pool CHICAGO, Sept. 26.—-In an effort to eliminate the use of the word pool room in connection with places where billiards are played, the billiard hall owners of Chicago have formed an organization which has been successful to a large degree. The billiard men pointed out that the word pool is a misnomer and apt to be applied to places where pools or other bets are taken on horse races. For this reason they have in duced many of the billiard hall own ers to replace the word pool with pocket billiards, which is the correct name of the game played with 16 balls. As a result of the campaign there are but few of the places left in Chicago where there is a chance for a mistake to be made. The billiard men are making it their business to eliminate all self-styled pool rooms that are conducted solely for gam bling.
