These dated back to early In 1010, and there was put Into evidence . letters showing thai daring that time the firm had repeatedly called upon the governor for more margin because i of the steady decline of the stocks involved In the account. Some of the securities Mr. Sulzer had bought through the firm; othet* he had deposited as nhugln against those he had bought, and at the same time bad borrowed money on them. His. total borrowings, including the 940,000 debited against him hi ?the ? .V-. "rmii tnirT" innaatLion, a minted to $180,000, according to the books. ' The "cross en.ry" was made.

Fuller Identified a note written by Governor Sulzer to'his partner in relation to the Sprlggs check. It read: "What Governor Sprlggs says is agreeable to me." Fuller said the SprlggB message ro : latad tn rinsing the account and that the outcome of the conference was that Lieutenant Commander L. J. Jorephthal, of the national militia, and a member of the governor's staff, took up the account on July 15. "Did he present an order?" "He did." Kresel produced the order. Fuller said he never saw it untif it wqs produced before the Frawley Investigating committee and couldn't say whether It was the same now as at the time It was presented. It was dated July 14, 1913, and read: "Please deliver to J. M. Josephtha"l the securities held as collateral for my loan on payment of debit balance due thereon." It was signed "Win, Sulzer, for Mrs. Sulzer." :?? "Did Mrs. Sulzer ever have anything to do with this account?"

I told him I had been subpoenaed before the Frawley committee and that I felt that any client of our office waa entitled to all the protection the law cpuld give him. 1 added that I would have a consultation with my attorney, and If he advised me not to testify or appear with my books, 1 * "Th* governor said to me that Mr ^^Marshall wu not there.

This die poses finally of the measure in thi lower branch of congress, with the ex ception of the plan to tax dealings i* cotton futures. The senate la expected to take slml lar action, and the bill la expected tc be made law and put into immediate effect by the signature of President Wilson by Saturday. The vote was 254 for the adoption of the report and 103 agaln3t. The question of Imposing a tax on cotton futures may be taken up in conference again, with a compromise In prospect or the feature may be dropped from the bill and be considered in separate legislation. The only the senate, which might throw soma features of the bill back into conferences, but such a contingency is no; expected In any quarter. "The rates of the tariff bill as it comes, back to the house for approval propose.? a lower taxation than any tariff bill in the last three quarters cf a century," said Underwood. "The bill as it is now before the house Is lower in Its rates than either the bill that passed the house or the bill that passed the senate, for the house conferees accepted all but three or four of the reductions made by the senate, while the senate receded from over one-half Df Its Increases. "This tariff bill, with Its 26 per cent average, Is almost as low as the famous Walker tariff which had low duties on liquor and tobacco. This bills places many of the necessities of life on the free list, or gives them very low rates of tariff." viuuoi wuuu b Biaiemem was greeted with applauso from the crowded Dem>cratlc side. In contrast with the average tariff of 26 per cent ad valorem in the present bill, he said the existing Payne-Aldrlch law had an averago of over 40 per cent, and the Wilson bill, passed In the last Demoeratlc administration, had an average >f more than 39 per cent. The revenues under the new laW? Underwood said, would yield a surplus ?f 118,000,000 over estimated government expenditures In 1915. He gave the house treasury experts' figures to ihow that the total revenue In 1915 irould be 11,020,000,000, expenditures >1,008,000,000 and surplus $18,000,00. "After three years of battle the Dem?cratlc party la prepared to keep Its pledges to the American people," conJnued Underwood. "1 do not believe here Is any danger of this tariff workng an Injury to the great producing nterests of the United States. They tave in the past been surrounded by irtiflclal conditions. This, bill will fcrce them to modify and change the irtiflclal conditions, to bring their luslness down to a sound and safs svel. But I believe the country baa lot waited tor this bill to accomplish hat readjustment of business. Seeing hgsInevitable change of tariff, busViees interests already have prepared or the situation."
