New York, September 12.?Bulzer's tanuactlons la Wall street from June 27, 1910, till they ceased?at least so far oa one 11 rm of brokers was con cerned?on July 14 last, wore describ ed under oath today by Melville D. Puller, who said ho was Sulzor's brok er, In a hearing hold by tho nine Im peachment managers appointed by the Assembly. Puller, who refused to testify before tho Frawley Investigating committee concerning certain matters, today an swered all Questions, lie testified that Sulzor had paid him $16,000 In person Within a month and a day after the last election and that ho (Fuller) had had no dealings with Mrs. Sulzor. According to Fuller's testimony Sul zor, while a Congressman, opened an account with his firm, Harris & Fuller, Juno 27, 1910. In September, he testi fied, Sulzor borrowed $23,000 front the firm, giving as collateral 400 shares of "Big Four" Railroad stock and in No vember of the same year Sulzer added some Aemrlcan Smelter .'jtock to his collateral held by tho brokers. "'Big Four' declined from 80 to 77 within a year," Fuller continued, "but Mr. Sulzer bought some more of the stock and added Southern Pacllc to his holdings." "On November 13, 1912, a few days after ho was elected Governor," Ful ler continued, "Sulzer walkod Into the ofllco of Harris & Puller with ten ten thousand dollar bills in his (hand. Thccsn he paid on his account, his In debtedness, owing to other transac tions having increased to $50,012." On December G, Fuller said, Govern or-elect Sulzer -paid In person $0,000 more in cash on his account. On June 16, this year Sulzer's debt to tho brokers had been further re duced. One of the checks, Mr. Fulelr said, was from A. E. Sprlggs, a former Governor of Montana. Dleut. Com. Josephthal, of Governor Sulzor's staff, visited tho office of Harris & Fullor July 16 last, Fuller added, and closed the account by pay ing the balance, $20,739. Josephtlr.il received the stock left by Sulzer as collateral. Josephthal pre sented an order, which wan produced today. It was signed "William Sul zer for Mrs. Sulzer." Mr. Fuller could give no explanation of tho words "for Mrs. Sulzer", he said, as neither he nor his firm had ever had any dealings with her. SCLrHUB SPBIITGS.

Withdraws Support from Orangeburg Man for Marshal. Washington, September 12.?Senator Tillman has notified the department of Justice that his official endorsement of J. L. Sims of Orangeburg, as a can didate to succeed J. Duncan Adams as United States marshal for South Caro lina has been withdrawn. This infor mation was given by the senior sena tor this evening in response to a ques tlontion from The News-and Courier's correspondent who has observed the activity of friends of Ex-Sheriff Bu ford, of Newberry county, and asked Senator Tillman if there was any pos sibility of fois withdrawing the Sims endorsement. In explanation of bis course, Senator Tillman remarked that somo people had been saying that ho was trying to hog both offices, that Is the district attorneyshlp and the marshal ship, and he felt constrained to take this action to clarify the situ ation. Senator Smith, who had not actually endorsed Mr. Sims but had agreed to acqulosco in his nomination, was promptly asked what position be would tako with regard to the mar shalshlp In vlow of Senator Tlllmnn's latest move. The junior Senator re plied that 'ho 'had nothing whatever to say for publication. The indications are that Senator Tillman is concentrating all his forces behind tho Thurmond candidacy for district attorney, recognizing the fact that during the past few days Woston has gained ground 'heavily. Whether the last move of the senior Senator 'will result in an understanding be- \ tween him and his colleague or only j deepen the clearvago between them i remains to be seen. * Poplar Spring Dots. ? < Poplar Spring, Sept. 8.?Well the < time for schools to open is here and . sot of our young people are going oft cv, school.
