New York Faces Financial
Embarrassment if Reve

MRS. SULZER WILL
TESTIFY AT TRIAL
LB ANY. N. Y., Sept. 17,
New York state faces serious j
financial embarrassment unless
revenue bills are passed by the legisla
ture tonight before the opening of the
trial of governor Sulzer Thursday.
Many of the assemblymen are not in
an amiable frame of mind because re
peated recalls to Albany, since the
special session convened, have caused a
drain on their private resources. Their
salaries ceased with the adjournment of
the regular session. Acting governor
Ulynn and legislative leaders were not
too hopeful that a sufficient number of
members would be present tonight
when the legislature reconvenes.
Mnke Fight on Senators.
Each senator will be called on to
morrow to qualify as a member of the
impeachment board. The judges of the
court of appeals also will form part of
he impeachment court.
The right of cer'ain senators, who
as members of the Krawley investigat
ing committee uncovered the evidence
upon which the impeachment charges
against Gov. Sulzer were based, to sit
as members of the court of Impeach
ment, will be one of the first ques
tions to be raised by counsel for the
accused t):eeutive when the trial be

Otis, owner of the Los Angeles Times,

Efforts to prevent the threatened

New York Police Think the
Slayer of Girl Also Robbed
Visiting Clergymen.
PRISONER ASSERTS
HE IS NOT INSANE
EW YORK, Sept. 17. Two
more crimes took their place to
day on the police record of Hans
Schmidt, the priest, who already has
confessed that he murdered Anna
Aumuller and that he was a counter
feiter. In ransacking Schmidt's rooms
detectives found evidence that Schmidt
had stolen $400 from the Easter col
lections at St. Joseph's church and that
he had robbed a visiting priest, who
spent the night at St. Joseph's rectory
as a guest of the local clergy. An
empty purse found in Schmidt's rooms
today proved to be one which the vis
iting priest had lost not long ago.
(ilrl JUIU Aot Knovr Plans.
Schmidt still insisted todav that
neither E. A. Muret. his dentist friend,
nor Anna Aumuller, the girl he mur
dered, knew anything about his coun
terfeiting operations. In reply to a'
written question sent to his cell, he
wrote:
"'Anna knew nothing of my plans to
solve the social question by creating
money for all the poor people here and
abroad."
Schmidt maintains that he made bo
gus money from philanthropic motives
only.
Head of Girl Hot Found.
The police have not succeeded in
finding the head of the Aumuller girl.
Today they investigated a gruesome
tale about a solitary f.sherman, who
hooked something heavy last night in
the North river. Just' as the supposed
catch was nearing the surface it
droppped off the hook, leaving a long
human hair said to resemble in color
the hair of Anna Aumuller.
Poned as Jacob Schneider.
De tectives investigating Schmidt's
record learned this afternoon that he
had rented another apartment at 2562
Eighth avenue under the name of Ja
cob Schneider. This apartment was
engaged on Sept. 5, three days after
the murder of the Aumuller girL In
j its rooms the police found clothing be
j longing to the priest and some women's
I wearing apparel.

lines." They declared it as their belief
that he was feigning insanity after a
carefully thought out plan.
To the Rev Father Evers. chaplain
of the i Tombs prison, to his attorney
and other callers, Schmidt admitted his
connection with the flat in West 134th
street, where detectives found bundles
of imitation $10 gold certificates.
Dr. Ernest Arthur Muret, the dentist
irrested after the raid upon the coun
terfeiters flat, through his knowledge
of the, law, forestalled the plans of the
federal secret service agents waiting
to arrest him on a warrant charging
counterfeitiife. By waiving prelimin
ary examination. Muret, for the time
being at least, escaped the more seri
ous charge.
Servant Girl I Relented.
Bertha Zech, a servant girl omployed
by Dr. Muret, and taken to police head
quarters with him, was released, the de
tectives telling the court they had no
evidence upon which she coul(l be held.

public According to commander De Witt
Blamer, of the cruiser, there 'is little
danger to Americans in the Mexican
ports he visited. The refugees, he said,
had left Mexico because of president
Wilson's warning.
What was considered an extreme
case was that of J. J. Donovan and
family, who came from the Yaqui river
country. War troubles forced them to
flee for safety. They hid in brush
from rebel bands and arrived in Guay
mas destitute.
All the refugees boarding the Buffalo
were heavily armed. They clung to
their weapons to the last and brought
them ashore here.
Hunger, not bullets, was the enemy
the refugees had to fight in Mexico.
Most of them managed to obtain food
of some sort, but the ptnehed faces of
the children about thp Buffalo showed
that nourishing food was scarce.
R. W. Vail, American consul at Guay
mas, who makes his home at Los Ange
les, was among the passengers.
"I came north," he said, "because of
the illness of a relative. Otherwise
I should have stayed m the south. The

to look after. They remained at Guav-

no official expression of this govern
ment's attitude today but it was plainly
indicated that the limited States will
keep its vessels on the Mexican Pacific
and Atlantic coast as long as the safety
of Americans warrants. It was pointed
out that American warships in Mexican
waters would continue to adhere strict
ly to the injunction of president Huerta
not to "entail an attack on the dignity
and sovereignty of Mexico," but further
than that, it is not likely that the Wil
son administration will accept dicta
tion from Huerta as to the circum
stances in which American vessels may
lie off the Mexican coast.
United States's Attitude the Same.
President Wilson and secretary Bryan
read president Huerta's message to the
Mexican congress, but no comment on
it was forthcoming from either the
white house of the stare department.
Secretary Bryan is preparing to dis
cuss the message with president, Wil
son. Particular attention was at
tracted by Huerta's statement that the
electoral law had been promulgated
providing for a presidential election
in October. It is regarded as signifi
cant that Huerta expects to conduct
the elections. That suggests the idea
that the Hoerta party will take the
ground that, owing to the limitation,
of the rebellion to the two states of
Sonora and Durango, the constitutional
prohibition against the conduct of a
