THINKSLAIN GIRL
WAS GANG VICTIM
Body May be That of Decoy
Who Lured Lustig
to Cafe.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—'Thirty-six
hours have elapsed with hardly any
progress toward the identification of
a young woman who was found mur
dered on Sunday night in a bit of
swamp land in Upper Manhattan.
The police are also quite as helpless
in their search for clues to the mur- .
derers, but they entertain a theory !
that the woman may have been killed ;
as part of a gang plot. It is re- |
called that a large party of East
Siders held a picnic in a grove near
the scene of the murder on Sunday
afternoon.
It Is also suggested that the case
of William Lustig, who was seriously j
shot In an East Ride cafe by gang
sters last week, and who had been
decoyed to the place by a woman,
has a bearing on the murder. Since
the shooting the police have been
very anxious to learn the Identity
of the girl decoy In the Lustig case,
and It Is said that the gangsters
feared that if she were caught she
would reveal the names of all con
cerned in the Lustig plot.
The gang situation has assumed
such serious proportions on the East
Side that a mass-meeting, under the i
auspices of the East Ride Neighbor- ,
hood Association, voted last night to
undertake a war of extermination
against the outlaws. fimall shop j
keepers bore testimony to the numer- \
ous times they had been victims of
'blackmail, of how they had been j
forced to contribute funds for gang
activities under threat. It was de- |
dared that the situation was be- |
vond the control of the police and
that the East Riders themselves must
tnke a bold stand against the crimln- j
kls. .. _ _
TWO r'OllHIl gins ....
last night and after viewing the body
said they believed the victim was
Anna Lopeck. a country woman.
They met her at a party in Brooklyn
a week ago. and she failed to keep
an appointment to meet there this
afternoon. ..
Of the Lopeck girl the two said they
knew little except that she was em
"ployed by a Harlem corset-shop
keeper, unknown to them. Detectives
are trying to locate this employer.

PRINCESS TELLS WHY
SHE SEEKS DIVORCE
Mri. George O. llnyne find Her Sion Rudolph.
“My Husband a Cad; Stories About Me False,” Says Daugh
ter of Crown Prince Rudolph, Who Is Bringing Her Ac
tion in the New Jersey Court.
NEW YORK, A up. 12— Mrs. George
O. Hayne, whose maiden name was
Alma Vetsera, and who claims to be
the daughter of the* unfortunate
Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria
Hungary and Baroness Mario Vet
sera, of Vienna, has explained for
the first time the reasons which led
her to bring a divorce action against
her husband.
"It is I who have started proceed
ings," she proudly exclaimed when
a reporter visited her apartment at
67 West Fifty-seventh street.
"I have chosen to proceed in the
New Jersey courts on the grounds of
desertion, non-support and cruelty.
My husband has never had any
ground to sue me," she continued,
with a proud toss of her head, her
gray eyes flashing lire.
Mrs. Hayne was asked concerning
her friendship for Count Gregory,
who is well known In New York,
London and Vienna, and replied the
count was a very distant cousin, was
close on to 65 years old, and a de
voted friend.
"My friends know the baseness of
the stories printed about me," she
said. "They know what a cad my
husband was; how he was too lazy
to work to support me when we were
in Montreal, and how he left me with
no provision for the future.
"I have a considerable income of
my owm, but this is so arranged I
cannot derive any benefit from it so
long as I am with my husband."
Suddenly she exclaimed:
"The Count Gregory, Indeed! Why,
I expect to be seen riding, driving,
dining or going anywhere with him.
How dare anyone place a significance
upon it? Has not any lady that
right?
"My whole heart and soul and
mind are bound up in my llttlo boy,

5 years old and being educated in

W. E. SACKETT SAYS HE’S A
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
William E. Rackett. a local news
paperman, in printed folders mailed
today, announces himself a candidate
for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomimation.
It Is needless for me to say, when
thus announcing myself,” he points
out, “that, in going into this cam
paign, I am not looking for a start,
to a vanishing machine of city office
holders of my own appointment to
aid me in overpowering the sentiment
of a county. Neither am I making
my canvass from a State position
where I might, if I would—but
wouldn't if I jcoutd—bait my candi
dacy with the worn of patronage.
Nor shall I importune an illustrious
predecessor to make me presentable
by wrapping mo up in the mantle of
his glory. I have not even the con
ventional army of spectre 'friends' to
implore me, with yearning arms, to
let them make a governor, or any
thing else, of me.
“No boss wants me; gentlemen of
that fraternity must have been con
vinced by their experiences in the
past, that I am not disposed to let
them or anyone else, however ex
alted, do my thinking for me. No
committee of hungry and expectant
cacklers is forming to make a big
noise in the land for me, and I shall
subsidize no band of idolatrous toot
ers to tell the world how much great
er a man I am than I am."
His principal pledge, ns given in his
statement, is:
"I shall run to turn the public mind
to the contemplation of new things—
sane and safe—not the play things
of tho oily gammons of the public
places, hut rather those better things
that make for glory of the State,
and for the prosperity, happiness of
her citizens."
A sketch of Mr. Sackett’s life and
newspaper career Is appended to his
announcement.

Again Available.
Star Bureau.
Metropolitan .National Bank Bldg.,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.
Declaring that all factions of the
party were united In his support for
the place, Representative Thomas J.
Scully, of Perth Amboy, announced
here today that he would be a can
didate for election to the Democratic
State Committee from Middlei^k
county. H
Scully was named last week as w
member of the executive committee
of the Democratic congressional
committee. He Is the wealthiest
member of Congress from New Jer
sey, and is said to have “put up"
liberally last year, both for the Wil
son campaign fund and the primary
campaign of Senator Hughes.
The size of Scully’s “barrel,” and
the expected ease with which it may
be opened, are said to have been the
reason for Governor Fielder and
State Chairman Grosscup wanting
him on the State committee. That
they may be disappointed In their ex
pectations, however, Is suggested by
the fact that in a statement given
out here today, In which he an
nounce his candidacy, Scully says
that he understands "the framing of
a State platform to be the princi
pal duty of the State committee."
In his statement, Scully says that
"Ollic" Kelly, of Metuchen, who has
been the Middlesex member of the
State committee for several years. Is
not a candidate for re-election. The
statement continues, significantly,
that Kelly "was appointed to the
State Board of Health by Governor
Wilson.” George A. Vlehmnn, of
New Brunswick, the financial man
ager of the Fielder campaign, who
was mentioned recently as among the
State committee possibilities, is also
announced, In the statement, to fa
vor Scully for the place.
"I have no desire to go on the
State committee," Mr. Scully says In
his statement, “but if my consti
tuents feel that I can be of Rervlce
to them there, I will give my time to
the work. I shall certainly, whether
on or off the committee, fight to
have the Democratic State platform
thoroughly progressive, worthy of
the party and deserving of the sup
port of the people. Great executive
and legislative efficiency are needed,
and we heed much work to attain
them." H. B. W.

IN SPECIAL ELECTION
(From « Stuff Correipnndeirt.l
TRENTON. N. J., Aug. 12.—Frank
S. Katzenbach, jr., is against the ob
jects of the specinl session of the
legislature. In an interview yester
day Mr. Ktlzenbach said that such a
use of legislative power ought not to
be thought of.
it seems to me unioriuimit*,
Mr. Katzenbach, "that the Legisla
ture should have been called Into
special session to pass two bills to
meet a local situation, the first of
which would destroy the protection
the people have had since the formu
lation of our government from those
who would usurp office, and the sec
ond of which is entirely unnecessary
if the courts are to be trusted to
render a proper decision in litigation
now pending.
Bill No. 1 seeks to shift the burden
of the proof in quo warranto proceed
ings from the respondent to the re
lator. It has always been the law'
that the Incumbent must prove hl.s
title to office if that title be ques
tioned. To place this burden upon
the relator would rend easy the
usurpation of office. Frequently the
evidence In such cases fs under the
control of the respondent. A de
struction of this evidence would
make it. impossible for the relator to
prove his case.
"Bill No. 2 seeks, in effect, to take
from the courts the determination
upon Indisputable evidence 'unques
tioned election returns' of the ques
tion whether commission govern
ment was adopted in Jersey City
under the 3n per cent, requirement of
the commission government act.
Such a use of the legislative, power
to serve party and factional purposes
ought not to be thought of."

ESSEX STILL DIVIDED ON
MAN FOR COLLECTORSHIP
Star Bureau*
Metropolitan National Itnnk Hlrijr,*
WASHINGTON* Auk. 12.
It was stated here last night on ap
parently good authority that Bernard
Gannon, of Middlesex County, has
decided he docs not want the job of
collector of Internal revenue for New
ark. for which he was recently nomi
nated by President Wilson.
Gannon, according to the statement
made to the Star correspondent last
night, was anxious for the job a few
weeks ago and induced Congressman
Thomas J. Scully to urge him for th„
place. Since then he has changed his
mind and is going to run for re-elec
tion as county clerk, which pays a
bigger salary.
Although there is a Union County
candidate for the place in the person
of James Potts, of Elizabeth, Sen
ator Martine had declared from the
outset that he favored the appoint
ment of a Wilson Democrat froi i
Essex County. Because of the inabil
ity of members of the Wilson League
of Essex to agree on a candidate for
the collectorship It Is not probable
that the place will go to Essex, even
If Gannon turns down the appoint
ment. H. B. W
WILSON LEAGUE INDORSES

With eighteen out of twenty-live
members present, the executive com
mittee of the Wilson League went on

Besides the indorsement, the ques
tion of landing the custom collector
ship for John V. Piefenthaler, now
that Bernard M. Gannon, of Perth

appointment because he intends to
run again for county clerk, was dis
cussed. The members declared them
selves still in favor of Mr. Diefen
thaler, and John L. Armitage, the
president of the league, was instructed
to see what could be done about the
matter.
The indorsement of Mr. Fielder was
before the meeting of the executive
committee about three weeks ago.
Action was deferred because at that
time the majority of the members
were not present.
It was stated after the meeting that
the action taken at the same time in

Will Treat With Him Only as
a Citizen, Not as

TOKIO, Japan, Aug. 12.—The Jap
anese government Intimated today to
the Mexican government that it
would not receive General Felix
Diaz as special envoy to Japan to ex
press the thanks of Mexico for Jap
anese participation in the Mexican
centennial.
it is declared tnat it wouin receive
General Diaz only as a private indi
vidual. The Diaz party left Seattle
yesterday for Vancouver, whence
they planned to sail on Wednesday.
General Diaz was appointed spe
cial envoy to Japan on July 17 and
left Mexico two days later. He in
tended to proceed to Japan by way
of Los Angeles and Vancouver. At
Los Ajigeles he was met by a hos
tile demonstration from opponents of
the present provisional government
of Mexico, and was kept there for
several days in consequence of the
receipt of lengthy dispatches from
Mexico City.
It was announced on July 28 at
the Japenese legation in Mexico City
that the Emperor of Japan would be
absent from the imperial palace for
several weeks.
Want Xo Breach with V. 8.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—Japan's
Intimation to Mexico that it would
receive General Felix Diaz only as a
private individual and not as a spe
cial envoy attracted widespread com
ment in official quarters. Coming at
a time when negotiations are pro
ceeding hetwen Japan and the United
States on the California alien land
question, this action of Japan to
ward Mexico is generally construed
as showing a desire on the part of
Japan to avoid anything open to the
construction of being unfriendly to
the United States.
It was recalled that when some
significance was recently given to the
arrival of a new Japanese minister
at Mexico City, prompt disclaims
were made by Japanese authorities
that any political importance at
tached to the event or that the new
minister had made any expression
on tho identity of interest bet'men
Japan and Mexico. The present
move is thought to be along the
same lines in keeping Japan quite
apart from any apparent participa
tion in ponding political or diplomat
ic questions relating to Mexico.
Quiet in Mexico.
Charge O'Shaughnessy cabled the
State department today that the
situation in Mexico City was peace
ful and quiet. His message was
gratifying to administration officials
who dcsirp that all misunderstandings
the Mexican government may have
as to the intentions of the United
States shall lie cleared up before any
further steps are taken in the peace
policy of President Wilson.
Tho presentation of a note repre
senting the views of President Wil
son is expected goon, but the vari
ous steps in the American govern
ment's program will be carried out
gradually.
Tho first note will bo transmitted
in duplicate to all foreign govern
ments represented here and will de
clare for the first time in formal
terms the attitude of tho administra
tion toward Mexico.
Administration officials who are
hoping that European countries will
lend their moral support to the ef
forts to adjust the Mexican situation
peacefully were favorably impressed
with the statement of the British
government.
Moral Support b.v British.
The added comment from the Brit
ish government that France and
Germany had recognized President
Huerta after the American ambassa
dor, Henry Lane Wilson, had made a
congratulatory speech at a reception
given by President Huerta to the dip
lomatic corps, was received as fur
ther strengthening the view of Presi
dent Wilson that the American am
bassador had been a personal factor
in tho situation.

on the impeachment resolution.
Will Not Talk If Impeached.
••If the vote is to impeach.” said
the secretary. "Mr. Sulzer will have
nothing to sav but will reserve his
answer for the impeachment
ings before the Senate. Should the
resolution to impeach be defeated the
governor will give out a statement
setting forth his side of the contro
versy in its entirety.’’
Because of the closeness of the vote
on the impeachment resolution and
because the Democrats feel that tne
assembly should not attempt to rusn
It-through. it is possible that the as
sembly will defer its action for sev
eral days—possibly a week.

Six Democratic assemblymen who
voted last night for the adoption of
the Frawlev report, were summoned
to the legislative chamber by Gover
nor Sulzer at noon today. The gov
ernor’s purpose in so doing was not
made clear, but it was apparent that
he hoped to gain their support.
Five of the six responded to the
invitation, but four of them were
told that the governor had chang 'd
his mind and did not want to see
them. The fifth. Assemblyman
Campbell, was closeted with the gov
ernor and his counsel for ten min
utes. When the interview ended Mr.
Campbell declined to discuss it, as
serting it was confidential. A fel
low member of tho assembly said,
however, that the subject of the
interview was the constitutionality
of the impeachment proceedings.
Two hours after the time set for
meeting found the situation in the
Assembly chambly chamber practi
cally unchanged, although a throng
that rivalled the one of last night
was standing in patient expectation.
Half of the crowd was women.
Speaker' Smith glanced over the
empty rows of members’ seats and
ventured the opinion that it would be
evening before a vote on the im
peachment resolution would be
reached.
The gathering in the governor's of
fice was swollen by the arrival of
Republican and Progressive members
and a number of Democrats who
voted last night against the organi
zation.
Tentative plans of the Democratic
leaders were to put through the im
peachment resolution late this after
noon and adjourn for a day or two
to prepare articles of impeachment
for presentation to the Senate.
Despite the fact that on the Devy
resolution call for the impeachment
of the governor "for wilful and cor
rupt conduct In office and for high
crimes and misdemeanors" the Re
publicans at last night’s session,
which extended into the early hours
of today, voted almost solidly against
Immediate consideration, Minority
Deader Ilinman and several others of
that party made it plain that this
did not indicate their hostility to the
general proposition.
Telegrams Sent to Absentees.
Telegrams were sent to each of the
twenty Democratic absentees urging
attendance at today’s session, and
the Republican absentees were served
with like notices.
Dast night's vote on the question of
beginning the impeachment proceed
ings without delay indicated that
only eleven of the fifty absentees are
needed to make up the seventy-six
votes necessary to the carrying out
of the impeachment program. The
advocates of this procedure do not
anticipate renewal of the bitterness
which characterized portions of last
night's debate.
Sustains Frawley Committee.
The resolution under consideration
today, based upon the report of the
Frawley legislative committee, sus
tains the contention in that report
that Governor Sulzer has been guilty
of a fraudulent report to the secre
tary of state of contributions received
by him in the gubernatorial cam
paign; that he converted to his pri
vate use campaign contributions;
that he engaged in stock speculations
at the time that he was governor and
was pressing legislation hostile to the
New York Stock Exchange; that he
induced witnesses to refuse to testify
before the Frawley committee and
used his office to reward those who
favored his policies and punshed those
who opposed them.
Impeachment Resolution.
This is the text of the resolution for
the impeachment of Governor Sulzer,
as presented in the Assembly last
night:
"Whereas, The joint legislative in
vestigating committee has hied a re
port in the Assembly on the 11th day
of August, 1913, together with testi

guveiuur ui rue r, uiit: ui mew iurn,
made a false and fraudulent report to
the secretary of state under his oath,
as required by law, that the total con
tributions in aid of his campaign as
candidate for the office of governor
were $5,460 and no more; and,
“Whereas, In truth and in fact the
amount was greatly in excess of said
sum, to the personal knowledge of
said Sulzer, such report further show
ing or tending to show that he con
verted to his own private use contri
butions given in aid of his said elec
tion for the purchase of securities or
other private uses; that he engaged In
stock market speculations at a time
when he was governor and vigorously
pressing legislation against the New
York Stock Exchange which would
affect the business of and prices on
the exchange; that he used the power
of his office as governor to suppress
the truth and to prevent the
production of evidence In re
lation to the investigation of
campaign contributions and viola
tions of law in respect thereto by or
dering and directing witnesses, some
of whom were employees of the State,
to act in contempt of the joint legisla
tive investigating committee; and
that, further, he used his office as
governor in rewarding or attempting
to reward such witness or witnesses
by securing or influencing their ap
pointment or promotion in the State
government; that as governor the said
William Sulzer has punished legisla
tors who disagreed or differed with
him in legislation enacted In the pub
lic interest and public welfare, and
has traded executive approval of bills
for support of his direct pri
mary and other measures in
which he was personally in
terested; that as governor he wil
fully and corruptly made false public
statements, advising and directing
citizens to suppress evidence in refer
ence to his unlawful use of contribu
tions made to him for campaign pur
poses; and,
“Whereas, He has otherwise cor
ruptly and unlawfully acted or omit
ted to act. Therefore, be it
“Resolved, That William Sulzer,
governor of the State of New York,
be and hereby Is Impeached for wilful
and corrupt conduct in office and for
high crimes and misdemeanors."
The Senate will mark time until the
Assembly has an opportunity to for
mulate its program.

WOMEN TEAR NOSEBAGS
FROM HORSES IN ’FRISCO
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 12.—A
taste of feminine militancy was given
to the people of San Francisco yes
terday. when four women started a
crusade against nose bags for horses.
InVadlng the business district they
hunted out horses that were feeding
from the customary canvas bags, and
without ceremony and despite pro
tests from teamsters hurled into the
gutter all the feed bags they could
find.
The mrusaders were members of the
Animal’s Friend Society, which is op
posed to nose bags.
After they had scattered nose bags
aild oats in several streets the
women sought out Postmaster Arthur
Fisk and protested against the long
hours and hard work to which the
horses in the postal service aro sub
jected. Postmaster Fisk suggested
that the society use its good offices
toward procuring ten more horses for
the San Francisco postofflee.
CHICAGO MAN RECEIVES
BOMB FROM HACKENSACK
CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—Detectives
here were given a mystery to solve
today when Angela Padlella. an
Italian living at 1017 South Morgan
street, turned over to them an in
fernal machine contained within a toy
squirrel, which had been sent to him,
supposedly by members of the so
called "Black Hand” society, it con
tained dynamite.
The package containing the machine
was delivered by the Wells-Fargo Ex
press Company. It came from Hack
ensack, N. J. The only clue which
afforded the police a lead was found
written on the paper in which the
box was wrapped. This writing was
in ink and directed the express com
pany to return the package to 54 Huy
ler street, Hackensack, N. J., in the
event that it was not delivered to

GAYNOR LIFTS BOYCOTT
ON GREENPOINT BANK
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—The $50,000
In city deposits which was suddenly
withdrawn by order of Mayor Gay
nor from the Greenpoint National
Bank, because Alderman George A.
Morrison, its president, had opposed
the Mayor on the Folks' motion pic
ture ordinance, has been quietly re
turned.
Officials at the bank were informed
over the telephone, two weeks ago,
that if they would call at the office
of the City chamberlain, $50,000 of
the city’s money would be awaiting
them for deposit. The bank mes
senger was immediately sent over
and the money given to him. Owing
to the Mayor’s sensitiveness regarding
the charges made against him by
Alderman Curran regarding the with
drawal of the money, the utmost se
crecy has been observed. When the
information leaked out yesterday,
however. Alderman Morrison con
firmed it, though he would not com
ment on it.
