DANVILLE, 111.. Jan. 21. The election corruption and bribery ram pant In Vermillion county, the home of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, of the National House of Representatives, promises to be bared to the grand jurv. which meets In this city next Monday. A panic has struck the politicians mid more than a hundred of them huve bon summoned to tes tily. In a statement made In a news paper today by a prominent attorney he confi ski's to buying votes in pre vious elections. He says he kept a trrnHH(tlnna for n ' record of these transactions for long time, only to finally lose them'cepaor to Charlep D. Norton as prl In a fire. He declares his willing- vate secretary to President Taft. la a ness to testify before the grand i'liv roiiner Sun Francisco newspaper and he suggests n mass meeting of successful and defeated candidates In the recent campaign to reach an agreement on making a general clean brenHt of the whole affair, One hundred subpoenaes for Ver million county politicians were issued by the vote-fraud grand Jury this af ternoon directly after six of the wenlthlest hankers of Danville had i appeared. Alrendv n general exodus of ward-! heelers and the smaller fry of poli ticians has begun. Numerous wit nesses wanted are on the missing list, while fully 100 nlleged vote sellers have applied to lawyers for advice. E. X. Lesseure, son-in-lnw of Can non, and the Speaker's local cam paign manager, and Ave other bank ers are before the grand jury today. These bunkers, with Spenker Cannon and the late Wiley Fowler, were bondsmen of Hardy Whltlock. ex eherlff and county treasurer, now missing, who was found short $37, 600 In his accounts after his unsuc cessful race for sheriff Inst fall.

No one de nies that elections In Danville and in the county for years have been little more than farces. In Danville alone, the "bought vote" In the lust election was more thttn .100, while another 1000 might have been added for out- side townships, malting 3500 votes 111 Ull.

Under the 1910 primary law they are grant ed "Immunity baths." while the vote seller is liable to punishment. While no open accusations are made In pub lic against individuals, it is generally realized that. If the grand jury pries off the lid, the stream of vote-sellers wending their way to the court house to seek clemency will surpass that of the Adams county, Ohio, scandal. Taft's New Secretary.

Placing the State Printer on a flat salary of $5,- v"v a jtoi, Ja;uiB a pinning VApuri $2000 a year, and buying the present nlant for 120.000. 1r the iinrnnsn nf h bill Senator Miller has offered in the Senate. It. In rtifferent In mnnv ca. speets from one now In the House,' wmcn provides that It shall tnke effect Immediately, whereas the Mil- ler measure does not change the ex- iu n . " jdhio. uou ana tne Secretary of State re- ports a deficiency of $30,000. This makes a total of $110,000 for those two years. Estimating the normal increase the Secretary of State now asks $120,000 for 1911-12. This is for the printing fund alone, while there are large amounts for depart mental and other printing, approxi mating $25,000. Therefore, the pros pect for 1911-12 Is $145,000 for printing. If the present system Is re tained. In Miller's bill an appropriation of $8'..0fl0 is asked, of which $20,000 is to buy the present plant or an other, and perform all printing from whatever source. The new bill does away with all measuring and com puting of rates, and places the super vision in the hands of the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treas urer, who are represented by a 8tnte Printing Expert. At present the State printer reports to nobody, and nobody has authority to examine his depart ment The Secretary of State says the emoluments of the printing de partment under the present law are far away and beyond the limits of Justice, nnd that the printing depart ment Is the most expensive of any department of the state's affairs. And all by reason of the utter Inade quacy of the old laws to deal with each and every phase of the Intricate business, so as to Insure the justice of prices. The bill provides against the payment of exorbitant salaries and prohibits all premiums, bonuses and the like, to employes, unless sanctioned by the board. The Miller bill is after the Kansas law, where. It Is alleged, mnny thousands of dol lars have beer, saved since Its adop tion. There are friends of Stnte Printer Duniway in the Senate and House, and they oppose drastic legislation against him or his office. A fight came up over the printing office two yeprs ago In the House, and now It will be transferred to the Senate Bean, who led the fight In the lose session of the House, is now a mem ber of the Senate. Isaac Bailey is the defendant In the secret indictment filed by the grand jury two days ago. He Is ac cused of sellinc liquor In violation of the local option law. Like two other men who were Indicted before him on a similar charge at the cur rent term. Bailey Is from Glendale. but unlike them In another respect, he will not plead guilty. Brought down from Glendale this afternoon by Denutv Sheriff Starmer. Hnllev fur nished a cash bond of $350 and an- nounced his intention of standing trial. W. W. Cardwe'l will act as his attorney. As all of the petit jurors have been dismissed, the trial cannot take place before rhe next term of court, which meets in May. Halley this week bought the soft drink stand at Glendale conducted by Ed. Dohl, one of the two men who pain a i.iuu nne last ween lor "boot legging." The case of the city of Roseburg vs. John Hunter, who Is accused of obstructing streets with buildings, has been postponed In the city, re corders court until City At'.orney Neuner returns from the legislature.

"I don't need a lawyer to beat that outfit." said Mr. Hunter contemptuously; "I'll act as my own attorney. In the Circuit Court this morning.

It took Carl Busch, the German wrestler, lesB than four minutes to put Charles Harrison, a local colored man, to the mat three times at the armory Friday night. A big crowd saw the bout, which was preceded by two boxing matchus, each going four rounds. Harrison outweighed Busch about 15 poundB, but was woefully out classed In strength and displayed no knowledge of the game. He started out gamely and easily broke the first , two holds secured by Busch. The j spectators then settled back In an-, ticlpatlon of a long struggle, but the German made the quickest kind of a I finish of things. The negro could not hnndle himself at all when , .Irturuo, nfl nf t- la foot Ilal, with a bar and hainmerlock hold, , rolled him over on his bark. It was j all done In three minutes. The sec ond and third rounds were merely repetitions of the first, except that they were much shorter, each ending inside nf thirty seconds. During the Intermission between the last two rounds. Busch enter tained the crowd with an exhibition of his magnificent niusculur develop ment. The referee of the bout was Jack Donovan, a professional wrestl er, whom Busch defeated at Cottage Grove lust Thursday night. Donovan announced that he was not satisfied with the result nnd thnt he would seek a return match hi this city. It is probable that he will be seen on the mat with Busch nt the armory next Wednesday night. Tho first boxing preliminary wns between two local lads named Robin son and Eudicott and for Inexperi enced boys they did well. Tho sec ond bout wus a hummer. Tho prin cipals were Walter Stubblelleld, of this city, und Joe Plerle, a young negro from Winston, who proved lo he the classiest glove urtlst seen around these parts for some time. Stubblofield, though a willing mixer at nil times, was as Helpless before Plerle iiB Harrison was in the bunds of Busch. In the final round, Plerle good nuturcdly eased up and at the cloi-o Reforoe Al North dorlurod "both men champions." Carl Busch, the German wrestler, and Juck Donovan, u Seattle man, have completed arrangements for a hunt at the armory next Wednesday night. It will be a straight match, the man securing two falls out of three winning nil the money. Added Interest Is given tlie bout by the fact that the referee will be Kmmett Hall, the Oakland wrestler, who stayed on the mat two hours with Busch nt Cottage Grove and presented the German from putting his shoulders to the mnt once. Hall nnd Busch were matched for a bout In this city on January 30, but a physical ail ment of the Oakland man caused an indefinite postponement. A new date for the match will probably be agreed on ut the ringside next Wednesday. Jo Plerle, the young negro boxer of Winston, will probably figure In one of Ihe preliminaries lo the Busrh-Donovan go. NOT AUTHORIZED" GRANTS PASS MOTOR ELECTION.
