I HEARD MOANS INSIDE TRUNK fie Impeached Governor's Forces Are Driven to Last line of Defense Against Tammany Foes. HERRiCK LEADS ARGUMENT IN FINAL STAND AGAINST TRIAL Would Not Shield William Sulzer, But Fights In the Interest of Fair ness Je Declares. ALBANY, N.

Sept. 23. The 'personality of William Sulzer came to the front in his impeach ment trial today. Secluded in the "people's house" he was spared the implied criticism of his own lawyers and bitter rasping personal attacks from the attorneys for the impeach merit committee. But a crowded court followed every word of It with an intensity of interest that was remark able.

The Sulzer captains were fighting all along; the last line of entrenchment. Defeat today meant that the true merits of the accusations must le revealed to the public, that hereafter office holders will be fully as responsible for their acts before sub scribing to tne oath of otttce as afterward. And such a decision would read into the law of the state of the mandate that hereafter every dollar received and expended by a candidate muet be accounted for. That the court recognized the grave importance of the hnal question raised was very evident. Every one of the black robed judges of the court of appeals sat bolt upright drinking in every sentence of the involved argu ments.

And Presiding Judge Cullen personally wrote down extended notes for reference later In the day. Admitted Glynn la Chief. Before opening his formal attack on the articles of impeachment, Her rick, for Sulzer, admitted for the first time that Lieutenant Governor Glynn is acting governor. This made it practically impossible for the assem bly further to Impeach Sulzef for icurpatton of the powers ot'the governorship. On behalf of former Judge Vann, of the court of appeals, who Is asso ciated with Herrick, but who was too ill to be Attorney Hinman read a brief to the court covering practically the same ground.

Former State Senator Edgar T. Brackett. of Saratoga, led the attack on the Sulzer contentions. His argument was a positive insistence that AVilliam Sulzer' acts, as set forth in the articles of impeachment, were criminal in their character. He declared that it was for theaa crimes and "not for lying or for insulting manners" that Sulzer'a removal from office was demanded.

The forensic struggle consumed to out of today's sessipn. As soon as it is out of the way and opinion seems general that the Sulzer forces will lose Sulzer will again be called on to plead. Up to the present, his attorneys have succeeded in evading any direct answer to the charges. Rut tomorrow It is expected the formal pleading through his lawyers will take place, and then the takitg of testimony will begin. Driven into their last line of de (CoaUaaed ea Page Two BIRTHS.

Grabbing the bit between its teeth, a horse attached to a light delivery wagon suddenly plunged forward on a mad gallop whila descending the steep hill in the 700 block Prescott avenue, Dun more, this morning at o'clock. The runaway came to an end only after the vehicle had collided with a tree, resulting in the death of the driver and the serious injury of his traveler. The dead man is Richard Wolfe, aged forty years, of 323 Pittston avenue.

The injured man is B. C. Smith, of Allentown, Pa. Mr. who is a dry goods agent representing the Bittner Hunsicker company, of Allentown, had hired the horse and wagon at Kelly's livery on Spruce street, this morning shortly after 7 o'clock.

Wolfe was furnished as the driver for the day. Both men stopped at Schultz's stora at Preseott avenue and Ash street. and were proceeding on their way to Dunmore when the accident occurred. According to Mr. Smith, he attempted to take the reins from Wolfe's hand when they reached the top of the hill, but the latter objected with, "I know how to drive." Pushing his hands aside, Wolfe took hold of the lines with both hands.

The horse, evidently frightened at the sudden tightening of the bft. gave a snort jand stopping for an instant, then start ed on a mad dash down the hill. Grove dlrctly.irw front of the electric Fire department's new" home, the animal swerved to the left. The front wheel of the wagon caught into a tree at the corner, overturning and pinning both men between the ground and the vehicle. Wolfe's head and chest were badly squeezed, and blood flowed In profusion.

Mr. Smith's right leg was pinned under the wagon. Firemen from their station saw the accident and at once, went to the rescue. Captain Wagner lifted the wagon from on top the men. and others assisted in removing them into the Are headquarters.

Here, rr. F. W. Snyder was summoned. Wolfe, howover, was dead, and he turned his attention to the agent.

The lntter was found sufferinsr from a sprained ankle and a bruised leg. After being treated he was removed to his hotel. Jordan Walsh, undertakers, were notified and they removed the bodyof the driver to his home. The deceased was well known about town, having been employed In ivelly's for some time. Besides one son, liar old, an employe of Matthej on Lackawanna avenue, he i survived by three brothers, T.

The State KUitorial association, comprising editors from all parts of Pennsylvania, came to Pittsburg today to hold their annual business meeting, but the crews of the Old Home Week express and the Pittsburg Exposition special ran their trains together, and put a crimp in the plans. No fatalities were reported, but it was rumored that had the editors not been of steel the list of incapacitated might have been great.

The smash up landed them in the Hotel Schen ley, where a reception was held. Kf. forts to hold a business meeting followed, but some committees invaded the place and carried all the editors oft' to a pickling plant for luncheon. A committee fed them with numerous delicacies fresh from the vats, and editors, escaping a pickling themselves, started back to the Schen ley to dispose of their business. On the way, they were kidnapped and carried off to shiver through a double header between the Pirates and Dodgers.

They said they hoped the survivors would get back to the Schenley. During the game, mysterious plana were under way for more entertainment, however, and It was rumored that the editors would wind up with it dinner at McCreery'B and a night at the Pittsburg exposition.

Constable E. J. Neary Declares He Has Traced Missing Votes to Breaker in Handling. SHERIFF CONNOR UNABLE TO LOCATE OTHER BOXES Engine Room of Colliery Is Thought to Have Been Place Where the Loot Was Destroyed. Without having found any trace of the missing boxes of the Second and Third districts of Fell township, Deputy Sheriff Matt Connor returned to Scranton from Simpson this afternoon.

He heard in his investigation that the missing boxes and contents had been burned in the engine room of the Northwest breaker at Vandling. But he could find no positive truth to this. This afternoon summonses are being made out for the board members in the two districts. They will come Into court Friday afternoon when court will endeavor to determine how Jhe election returns came to be changed and more votes given to certain candidates than there are registered voters in the districts. Deputy" Connor and a number of deputy sheriffs scoured the for miles, in the search for tllp boxes.

They went into ravines and over rocks and into houses and cellars in an effort to locate the boxes. It is his belief that the boxes and contents will never be recovered. On Monday. It is expected that the I grand jury probe of the ugly election seanaai win ne started with the hands of District Attorney David J. Reedy at the helm.

There are two things to be probed: The alleged falsifying of the returns and the theft of the ballot boxes. John J. Gallagher, candidate for jury commissioner on the Democratic ticket today petitioned court to have the ballot boxes of the two districts brought into court for a recount. An order has already been made by the court for the same boxes, the previous petition having been made by Ben. S.

Phillips, Republican nominee for sheriff. Constable E. J. Neary, of Carbondale, the first officer on the trail of the box stolen from the Third district has traced it to the breaker at Vandling. Constable Michael Moran, of Carbondale, is also on the trail.

But Constable Neary is finished with his investigation. That the disappearance of the Third district ballot box would be quite a mystery if so many people did not know what was done, when it was done and who it was done by, is the statement made by an investigator. He absolves the election board of the district from any blame, stating that one Simpson man had a hand In the affair and that he had the assistance of another man. But this other man was not from Simpson; nor was lie from Scranton, sayeth the Investigator. Justice of the Peace Robert Walker, of Simpson, in whose care the box of the Second district was given following! the counting of the votes, said yester day that the box was safe in his office.

Today Sheriff P. F. Connor, wfio has been directed by the court to bring in the two boxes, says that this box is missing as well as the other. A wagon or autoniobiiti was used In the carrying away the box of the Third district Saturday nistht.

Poppycock Eugenics Don't Bother Them DENVER, Sept. 2X "This agitation about eugenics is all poppycock." was the declaration today by Mrs. Sarah KUzabeth Roberts, 85, who is celebrating her sixtieth wedding anniversary. "Yes, that it be," asHented her husband, 89. The couple were married in Philadelphia, September 23, 1853.

"When we were young there wasn't all this pow wow about who was fit to marry and who wasn't," added Mrs. Roberts. "Love was the only thing necessary to a happy marriage and a horned loving mother all that was necessary to raising healthy and moral children. "I believe it is like my mother used tner with a person before you know them anyway, and how is It possible I to pick a 'eugenically perfect mate?
