STEPBOtl'S BAR BILL WAS $30,000 AS FAB AS IH, IS MOT ALL Hi YET! yyffJESS FRANKLY ADMITS HIS WORK BORE FRUIT BUT GOULD NOT NAME THE FRUIT ! Says He Simply Gave Legislative Candidates Money to Be Spent in Behalf of Stephenson and That He Knows of No Single Voter Who Had Been Induced to Vote for Stephen son as a Result of the Money Atfmits There Probably Were Many Such But Simply Says He Does Not Know of Any One Himself. t'SlTED PIE8S LIASEIf WIU.1 Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. G. Whether capaign money may be legally spent In "treating" to liquor and cigars Is the subject now being threshed out in the Senator Stephenson election Investigation, which took a new turn today when Game Warden Stone and a number of his deputies were exam ined as to what they know about re ceiving a nibble of the money spent by Stephenson during his campaign. The day Is being taken up mostly with the testimony of deputy game wardens who were present when a large sum of money was placed In Stone's hands with which to promote Stephenson's campaign. Rodney Sackett, recalled, said that Stephenson left it to his discretlm to spend the money entrusted to him, In Instructing him substantially to do whatever possible, keeping within the law. The witness does not know that tiie law , prohibited campaign treating. Senator Heyburn, however, had different Ideas on the subject. The chairman stated that he believed that the $30,000 spent by Stephenson and his campaign managers for liquor and cigars was illegally expended. Continuing, Sackett declared that he had paid L. H. Bancroft $250 for the "general organizing of Richland county." He knew that Bancroft was a candidate for the legislature, and voted for Stephenson for United States senator, he said, but he de nied that he had paid Bancroft for his vote. He said that he had simply given the legislative candidate the money to be spent In Stephenson's behalf. He said that he knew of no single voter who had been Induced to vote for Stephenson as a result of the senator's canimpalgn. "Do you mean to tell me that all your work, all this expense about $2.00 per voter bore not fruit?" de manded Heyburn. io, replied Sackett, "but I can name no particular, person who was so Induced." UNDERWOOD IS AS CERTAIN AS THE TRAINS ALWAYS THERE WITH HIS NEAT RIG AXD NATTY LITTLE HORSES TO MEET EVERY TRAIN, BUT IS HANDICAPPED BY THE TRAIN SERVICE. The Salem and Falls City trains are pretty regular In their arrival and departure from West Salem, but they are not In it with Joe Underwood, the genial Jehu, who holds the reins over the. smart llttlei team that fur nishes the motive power for his 'bus. Joe Is always there to meet them, and he is always there on time with his passengers for the outgoing trains He is jtAt as certain as death and taxes, and as reliable as a supreme conn decision. Others put on tems or autos to meet the trains, but they are peripatetic, uncertain, unre liable, while Joe is there as regular ly as a rainy day in February, and he Is there whether there is a pas senger for him or not. The traveling public should remember this and, when possible give him the benefit of their patronage. He is so much of a fixture that those who- are bene fitted by his service fail to appreciate him, but they certainly would if he quit. There has been some trouble ?Kl annoyance about hl9 answering calls, but this is not Joe's fault. The trouble Is caused by the fact that the trains pull In from Falls City and re main in West Salem only 30 minutes before starting back. Now, it will be seen that Joe has less than 30 min utes to get his passengers over from one train and back to the other, and this prevents his calling for passeng ers, unless arranged for an hour or so in advance. Joe Is compelled, un der the law, to walk his horses across the bridge, and this further cuts down his time. Those desiring him to call for them I should do so early, so he can take I them over as he goes to meet the ln I coming trains. This would compel them to wait in West Salem half an hour, but it Is the only way he can -J - . 1. . nni. I ,LH 1. 1 itixuuiuiuuuit; LUU3B uui m mo uubi- ness section. The Strike Situation.

THE REGULAR MEETING OF SCHOOL ROARD The school board will hold Its next regular meeting tomorrow evening. Arrangements will have to be made at this meeting for relieving the crowded conditions in the Grant and Park schools, as both of these schools have more pupils than they can accominodnte. ' It Is expected that a teacher will be placed In the Portable School which was con structed last spring on the Grant school lot. Already one entire eighth grade class has been transferred from the Grant to the East school, and still the Grant Is crowded. An additional teacher will probably be engaged for the Park Bchool also as several rooms In this building are also badly crowded. Other Impor tant business will also doubtless come before this meeting. Miss Catherine Pooler has been elected to teach third and fourth grade classes in the Portable school In North Salem. o PORTUGAL'S KING LEAVES PARIS FOR HIS "HOME" UNITED PRKHA LRAHRD WIHB.
