Trial of Beiles at Kiev Is Com

J of a Rabbit. ; : '
Kiev, . Russia, Oct. 10. A" sensation
was caused today by an article in the
conservative -anti-Semitic newpaper,
Kieviianin,- assailing in strongest
terms the court trying Mendel. Bellies,
charged with murdering - Andrew
Yushjnsky, a Ctristian boy of Kiev,
in March. 1910. -
"You are treating Beiles like a rab
bit on a table for vivisection," it de
clares. The Kieviianin, a two-cent
paper, sold for 1.60 a copy today. The
newspaper not only attacks the court
and prosecutor, but tears the indict
ment agalns. Bellies In shreds' in
terms that would be surprising even In
the most radical journal.
The writer, while denouncing the al
leged unscrupulousness of Jews in at
tempting to obtain the release of Bell
ies, say the charge against him is a
charge against a whole religion of
most infamous superstitution.

WILSON TOUCHES
OFF GAMBOA DIKE
Washington, D. C, Oct. 10. A little
electric spark, originated when Presi
dent Wilson pressed a button at the
-White house at 2 this afternoon, sped
more than 4,000 miles and ignited an
immense charge of dvnamile which
destroyed the Gamboa dike and prac
tically removed the last obstruction to
the Panama canal. -
The Atlantic and Pacific oceans were
not actually united when the dike was
destroyed and the waters of Gatun
lake were allowed to flow IntoCulebra
cut, as the lake and cut are at the nor
mal surface of tha water, 85 feet above
the sea level. The destruction of the
dike, howover, removes the last obsta
cle to. navigation In the greater part of
the canal by light draft vessels. To
day's event demonstrated the nearness
of the canal to the operating stage and
brought to a close work in the central
division of Culebra cut.
Panama, Oct 10. Gamboa dike was
blown up at 2:02 this afternoon. The
blast was perfectly successful.

PARKER LAYS
LEASH ROUGH
UPONSULZER
Severest Flaying of Trial
Uttered Before Court
at Albany.
HELD UNFIT FOR PLACE
Story of Peck, for Prosecution,
Characterized as "Brazen
Counterfeit."
Albany. N. Y., Oct 10. Never since
the impeachment trial of Sulzer open
ed has he been subjected to such se
vere verbal flaying as Judge Alton B.
Parker delivered in his remarks for
the board of managers today.
"Even justice must see through its
severe eye." said Paricer, "something
of the pathetic in the defendant's
frantic efforts to cover the nakedness
In his wrongdoing. Defiance, defense,
justification, prevarication, denuncia
tion of his accusers, attempts to sup
press and falsify testimony, efforts to
cast blame elsewhere, each in turn
has been stripped from his quacking
flesh until he stands now naked before
the court without a rag of his attempt
ed vindication clinging to his de
formed, mutilated manhood." .
Louis Marshall for tho defense and
Alton B. Parker for the assembly man
agers occupied the session ot the court
yesterday afternoon Marshall Impeach
ing the motives of those who brought
the charges against the governor as
based on "passion and caprice," and
Parker denouncing the governor as
one who the "uncontradicted v proofs
which have been spread upon this rec
ord" 6howed was no longer "fit to t
the chief executive ot this state," and
pie ever to regain tat commence of
the people."
The governor knew, Mr. Parker said,
that when he signed the statement of
campaign contributions, placed betori
him by his secretary, Louis A. Sarecky,
that the statement was untrue.
SAYS SILZEB KNEW, I .
"The man who read that list and
examined it," the attorney said, "knew
It was not true. It does not help him
for the boy Sarecky to Bay he did tha
best he could. His master, William
Sulzer, knew It was a lie.
"The evidence is all In, the case
closed, and there Is no answer to any
of the material facts which have been,
presented on the part of the managers..
Not a word. If there Is any question
whatever that can be made as to any
fact, none has appeared to present It
"I have listened from the beginning
of this trial to the arguments that no
matter what a man may do, no matter
what offenses he may commit against
the public, no matter what crimes ha
may have committed, the people of this
state, under their constitution, are ab
solutely helpless, provided It is dona
the day before he takes the oath of
office.
"Can it be possible that with the
record which lies before you, any one
of you could say that the governor,
who has not appeared at this trial, is
fit longer to be chief executive ot this
state?
"Isn't the proof that has been spread
upon this record here, standing aa it
does wholly uncontradicted, convin
cing that it is absolutely impossible
to conceive that the time can ever
come when he can ever regain tha
confidence of the people of this state T"
MMtMIM.I. KXCORIATKS PBCK.
Louis Marshall devoted several
pages of his scathing address to tha
testimony of Duncan W. Peck, super
intendent of public schools, who swore
that Governor Sulzer had asked him to
deny under oath that he had given
him a $500 contribution. .
Marshall declared that his story was
a "brazen counterfeit" and accused
Peck of having a strong motive for so
testifying, because John A. Hennessy,
the governor's special investigator,
had unearthed "irregularities of a ser
ious nature" In Peck's department
This evoked a statement from Peck la
which he characterized Marshall's aU
tack upon him as a "lie told for pay."
