.and. Wholesale. Repeating.
.DENVER, Jan. 1S- Inane. Court ol Ap
peals Chamber this afternoon the. commit
tee o 27 members of the General Assem
bly, IS Republicans and nine Dcmbcrats,
appointed to hear the contest of James 1L
Pcabody for the seat o Governor Alva
Adams, held its first open session and
took testimony from two wltnesees.
Chairman William II. Griffith, announced
that .sessions would be held nightand day
to hasten the work of Investigation to
the utmost degree.
The protest of the minority against the
taking of testimony under the rules
adopted was offered by Senator Jeffer
son, who moved that Jt be spread -upon
3ie journal and that a Tecord be .made
of its present, action. A motloa "by Sen
ator Barla to lay, the protest upon the
table prevailed by a strict party vote.
Harry -C. Riddle, minority member of
tho Denver Election Commission, was
called as the first witnew by Willis V.
Elliott, of counsel for contestor. He ex
plained the manner In which District reg
istrations are conducted and stated that
registration books were withheld by the
"ounty ;ierk from ali Republican judges
who appeared on the day prior to elec
tion and offered to sign for the same.
Mr. Riddle affirmed that the clerk had
strict instructions from the majority
members of the Commission to turn over
all poll books to Democratic judges. He
further testified that there were at the
time of the May city election in the
neighborhood of 170 persons in the employ
of the Election Commission and that he
had never been given a voice in the ap
pointment of one of this number. When
any action was . contemplated by the ma
jority members along this line, meetings
were arranged for. he said, of which he
was not advised, and he was kept totally
In the dark as to the method of procedure.
Mr. Kiddle said he had received notice of
ill meetings where his vote might be
needed .to legalize action, but usually the
committee pased upon matters without
his presence.
Lists Padded With 8000 Names.
Regarding the appointment of elec
tion Judges tfor the May election, Mr.
Riddle stated that It was his privilege
to appoint one judge for each precinct,
the majority members appointing two.
At the meeting of the Commission,
called to arrange for the selection of
tho Judges, he aid he presented a list
of approximately 50 vacancies caused
by inability from one cause or another
of judges at former elections to serve
again, bjit the Commission refused to
recognize his list, asserting that the
vacancies could be filled by the other
two judges on the morning of elec
tion. Mr. Riddle said that the list of
-vacancies was certified to only after he
had appealed to the County Court for a
writ of mandamus compelling the ma
jority members to recognize tho right
to have the vacancies filled by appoint
ment. Mr. Elliott asked the witness to say
what action was taken by the Com
mission on the petition of Republican
attorneys for an investigation of the
, -registration list, -which was alleged to
contain many hundred fictitious names
and addresses. Mr. Riddle roplied that
during a five days hearing of the Com
mission prior to the May election testi
mony was taken on the contention that
the list contained fraudulent names,
but only 13 were stricken off.
Mr. Riddle declared that a recheck
ing of the registration list and com
parison thereof with tho names voted
at the previous election showed that
substantially S000 names appeared,
representing nonresidents, persons de
ceased and purely fictitious names.
Confessions of Repeaters.
When Mr. Riddle had concluded, Jo
seph Totter, a waiter, testified that
between 7 and 12 o'clock on the day of
election he voted at least 20 times,
lie said that slips containing names
and addresses were given to him by
men whom he know to be prominent
in the politics of the lower wards of
tae city und he was instructed to vote
tho Democratic ticket. He testified to
having agreed to cast such votes for
the consideration of $l each. A certain
route was designed for his work for
the aay and he was cautioned to
Uiango his clothing occasionally. The
wltnoss stated that at some polling
places he voted four times and at
others so often that he had no recol
lection of the number. In ever;.- in
fctanee. he-declared, he voted the Dem
ocratic ticket as instructed.
Totter said that in the afternoon no
endeavored to cover again the terri
tory wnlch he had gone over in the
morning, and in addition visited other
polling places. He declared that eight
or ten men accompanied him on all his
trips and that they. too. were fur
nished with slips and instructed how
to vptc. In the afternoon, he said, ho
received only 50 cents for eneh ballot.
To a final question as to how manv
ballots he cast during the entjr day.
the witness replied that he had voted
not less than- 40 times and perhaps
more than HO.
Two witnesses were examined to
right, Joseph Coylc and Harry Strik
er. They testified to repeating on flec
tion day, Coyle asserting that -he voted
In the neighborhood of 103 times, and
stringer admitting that he cast' .it
least 100 votes. Both said they voted
the Democratic ticket each time.
JOKER OR LUNATIC BUSY.

today that an agreement is making be
tween the leaders of the Senate and of
the-House in accordance with which rail
road rate legislation wilt he onscint a
"the present session of Congress. The
basis of the legislation will be the measure
.drawn by Colonel Hepburn, chairman of
me interstate ana lorelgn commerce com
mittee of the House. That bill already
has been considered by the President, Attorney-General
Moody. Secretary Taft and
Secretary Morton, and by members of
both the House and the Senate. It does
not meet the anorbval of all who haw
examined It. but It Is believed to be a

State Officials and Hearst.
WASHINGTON. Jan. IS. Argument on
the subject of Government ratemaklng
for the railroads was continued todny be
fore the House committee on Interstate
and foreign commerce. C F. Staples, of
tho Minnesota Board of Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners, spoke in fa
vor of extending tne authority to the In
terstate Commerce Commission, "or some
intermediary body." to fix rates and regu
late the carrying industry. C. C. McCord,
a member of the Kentucky Railroad Com
mission, also emphasized the necessity for
legislation for extended Government con
trol of rates.
Representative Hearst, who gave testi
mony Monday in favor of the bill he has
introduced, resumed today. Mr. Adamson

lennial age when all litigation as to rates
would be cut off.
"No: unless you pass my bill," answered
Hearst.
REFORM IN RATE LAWS.
National Board of Trade Recommends
More Power to Commission.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. At today's
session of the National Board of Trade,
resolutions on amending the interstate
commerce law were unanimously adopted.
They state that rates of transporta
tion should be reasonable, and there
should be no unjust discriminations or
preferences, and that there should be a
more effective governmental supervision
of all transportation agencies; express
the hope that Congress as speedily as
possible will pass laws to correct any
abuses in transportation methods which
may be found to exist, and that, to that
end, power be given to the Interstate
Commerce Commission to revise any rates
found to be unreasonable or discriminat
ing, the revised rates not to go into 'ef
fect until the action of the Commission
shall have been confirmed by a Circuit
Court of the United States of competent
jurisdiction.
The Board advocates legislation by
Congress to amend the Interstate com
merce law so as to permit reasonable
traffic agreements by railroads under the
supervision and control of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, that unjust dis
crimination may be prevented, and rea
sonable, uniform stable rates be estab
lished. That private car lines and terminal or
originating railroads engaged In inter
state commerce be made subject to the In
terstate commerce act.
Another resolution asks Congress to
pass the ship subsidy bill reported by the
Merchant Marine Commission.
Other resolutions favor 1-cent postage,
a uniform bill of lading, a reduction of
the tax on grain alcohol, and the estab
lishment in the State Department of a
school for training young men to fill
minor positions In the consular service.

ATTACK BY STONE i
Campaign Funds Are Text for
His Philippic.
HE CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION
Missouri Senator Repeats' Campaign
Stories About Cortelyou and the
Trusts, and Quotes Copi-
ously From Lawson.
WASHINGTON. Jan. IS. The
charges of impropriety made in con
nection with the campaigns of 1S9C and
1804 wore revived for a time today in
the Senate by Stone, who spoke In
support of his resolution providing for
an investigation of the charges. He
used with much freedom the names
of President Roosevejt, Judge Parker
and Clialrman Cortelyou, and again re
lated the allegations that Mr. Cortel
you had used the Information secured
by him as Secretary of Commerce and
Labor to secure money from the trusts.
The discussion of the Statehood bill
continued with Clay. Nelson, Bailey
and Stewart as speakers. The former
Senator and late Vice-Presidential
candidate. H. G. Davis, was a vislto.r
on the floor of the Senate, and was cor
dially received by Senators generally,
especially by Senator Fairbanks, his
rival In the recent campaign.
President pro tem. Fryc, of the Senate,
today appointed Forakcr and Gorman tell
ers on the part of the Senate to count the
electoral vote on February 8.
A bill authorizing the Secretary of the
Interior to utilize Rhett River and other
navigable streams on the Oregon and Cal
ifornia boundary in connection with the
arid land reclamation service was passed.
Stone was then recognized to speak on
his resolution, directing an investigation
into charges of corruption In connection
with the elections of 1S96 and 1S04:
The" charges have been made by Alton B.
Parker and Theodore Roosevelt. They are
not vasue, irresponsible campaign rumors;
they are definite charges. Wo cannot ig
nore them. Let the Investigation go on.
If the Democrat I; party has also been rec
reant; If it also Is guilty of this monstrous
crime against good government, let is suf
fer the consequences. Hew to the line; let
tho chips fall where they may.
Such were the words with which Stone
closed the first half of his speech.
The language quoted had reference es
pecially to the election of 1S01. and was
uttered after a review of the charges
made in connection with the campaign
of that year by Judge Parker that the
Republicans "admit the acceptance of
financial aid from corporations which ex
ist In contravention of law for the pur
pose of establishing industrial monopoly
by destroying competition, and which or
dinarily expect favors, directly or Indi
rectly, from the Government."
To What Have We Fallen?
Ho declared that, "under the circum
stances, this act of the National Republi
can chairman and former Secretary of the
Department of Commerce and Labor was
an act of gross immorality, if nothing
worse." He added: "To what level have
we fallen if the American people can look
upon such conduct with complaisance?
Aye, and to what level have we fallen if
the American Senate can contemplate this
National shame with indifference? This
confession made by the President and
Mr. Hoot is monstrous. There is no need
to decry or condemn it; It speaks for It
self." Taking up the charge made during the
campaign that Mr. Cortelyou had used
his secret official Information as a Cab
inet officer to secure contributions. Stone
said he could neither affirm nor deny
"this terrible Indictment," because he did
not know, and went on:
I only know that the damaging admis
sion stands that the trusts did supply Mr.
Cortelrou campaign funds. Mr. Cortelyou
has never made answer to this charge. The
only answer he has ever vouchsafed Is a
statement attributed to him to the et?ect
that the collections made by the Republican
committee in 1904 were not so large as the
collections made by that committee In 1S06.
If thli means anything It is a cry for leni
ency on the ground of party precedent, and
because he had not sinned so grievously as
others. Why Air. Cortelyou stands dumb
under this dishonoring arraignment I will
not conjecture. That roan Is said to be
wise who knows how and when to hold bis
tongue. Verhaps the good name of the
cuntry would have been better served If the
President and Mr. Root also had sought
shelter under the same kindly wing of
silence.
Mr. President, it is hard to believe that
Mr. Cortelyou. or any man of character,
would prostitute official opportunity to
partisan ends so base. I am loth to believe
it; and yet a charge so specific as this, and
which so deeply concerns the public honor
and welfare, cannot be silenced by con
temptuously poohootng and ignoring It. It
Is a stain upon National honor and it will
not be washed out, but will return again
and again to plague us, utll the charge has
been shown to be false, or until it has been
avenged If shown to be true.
He Arraigns Cortelyou.
He reviewed the rise of Mr. Cortelyou
from a department clerk under the civil
service and a Democrat" to Secretary of
the Department of Commerce and Labor
under President Roosevelt, in which last
position he was clothed with Inquisitorial
authority to spy Into the secrets of trusts.
and power also was given him to make
his discoveries public, at the discretion of
the President. The Senator continued:
This man and this official the President
himself relected for chairman of the Re
publican national Committee. He was
without political experience or familiar with
party management and his designation for
the chairmanship was received with uni
versal surprise. Mr. President, the circum
stances of this appointment were curiously
significant. If not sinister, and the suspl
clons Inevitably excited by them hare pro
voked a situation greatly to be regretted
Why did the President select this Inexperi
enced new convert to be head of his party
organization; The accusing fact will not
down that the trusts did fill Mr. Cortelyou'a
campaign coffers to overflowing. Happily,
we have the comforting assurance vouch
safed by both Mr. Root and the President,
that the trusts had no Improper motive in
making these contributions, and that no
improper means ware used to Induce them.
The country is asked to believe what, no
doubt, it Innocently will and does, that the
trusts brought their gold to Cortelyou out
of patriotic cnslderations. and that they
expect nothing in ' return. These, indeed.
were virtwras trusts and theirs an idealistic
self-sacrificing patriotism. They scorned alt
bue expectation,, of favors to come and
pcouted the very thought that their gold
would be used to corrupt.
Quotes From Frenzied Lawson.
Ho said the Senate could not accept
these assurances without question, and
that the resolution of Inquiry should bo
adopted. He also expressed the opinion
that the President's charges against the
Democratic campaign management should
be Inquired into. Mr. Stone based bis de
mand for an. inquiry into the campaign
of 1SBS on the allegations of Thomas W.
! Lawson. made in a recent magazine ar-
i tide. The Senator was himself vice-
t chairman of the Democratic National
Committee during the campaign, but he
said that he did not propose to testify.
Many thousands of people, he said, be
Heve that election to have been bought,
and that fact alone justifies an Inquiry.
Speaking of Mr. Lawson. he added:
, It Is hard to believe that a sane man.
I to say nothing of his Integrity, would de
liberately lie without an apparent object
to bis own detriment. For the sake of those
whose good names are involved, for the sake

Referring incidentally to the bill intro
duced by Piatt of New York, to reduce
the Congressional representation of the
Southern States, because of the Imposi
tion of qualifications on the right of suf
frage, he said;
The conspiracies formed in New Tork to
debauch the electorate are not only a. crime
against the suffrage, but a, crime immedi
ately subversive of representative govern
ment and to Its suppression the Senator
from "New Torlt might profitably devote bis
solicitous attention.
Stone also took cognizance of the rec
ommendations of the President In his last
message, for the protection of the integ
rity of elections, saying:
Says Roosevelt Feds Remorse.
What the President asserts Is true, and
what he counsels Is wise, but I am surprised
that he should, so soon after the election.
denounce this particular crime in language
so explicit and defiant. If Judge Parker
spoke truly, then the President himself Is
the conscious oeneflclarr of the very crime
he condemns. The President's intrepidity
puzzles me to determine whether hevra3 in
fact advised and to what extent advised, as
to the Immoral means employed to promote
his election. I would prefer to believe that
the President is ignorant of many things
done for his profiting. Theodore Roosevelt
is instinctively an honest man. Hut he Is
also ambitious, and I have thought that am
bition had so blurred hi natural honesty
as to bund nun momentarily, and to male
him do things, or suffer things to be done
that would otherwise have been repulsive.
x prefer to believe the best of him. and all
things considered, the least I can believe
Is that the President, being an honest man.
smarting under the sting of remorse and
being himself no lone-er interested In cam
paign contributions, has resolved unselfish
ly to exert his strength to promote the pub
lic welfare In this behalf.
Stone was not Interrupted while he
spgke, but when he closed Hansbrough
had the clerk read the complete text of
the reply made by the President to Judge
Parker's charges last November. The
resolution was allowed to lie on the table.
Clay spoke in opposition to the
Statehood bill. He went into the de
tails of the division of New Mexico,
when the Territory of Arizona was
created, saying that the division was
made because of the unwieldy size of
the territory. He contended that, if
the area embraced was too extensive
for one territory, it is too large for one
state. He said the two territories
cover an area larger than half ofJ
Europe. He had no objection to the
consolidation of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory- Clay predicted that at some
time In the future the people of Texas
would take advantage of their privi
lege of dividing that state Into five
states.
Nelson said most of the people of
New Mexico preferred Joint statehood
to existence as a territory.
Stewart spoke of irregularities in
Indian Territory, saying that soiie men
were -getting rich there at the ex
pense of the Indians on land leases.
These statements brought out a de
fense of the whites In Indian Territory
by Bailey.
Nelson said tliat there were not to
exceed 25,000 bona fide Indians in In
dian Territory and, while he believed
in protecting them, hts heart went out
especially to the white people In that
territory, who stood in great need of
relief.
Bailey appealed for the obliteration
of arbitrary lines betweon Oklahoma
and Indian Territory. Speaking of the
prohibition of the liquor traffic in In
dian Territory, he said he would never
vote for the regulation by the Gov
ernment of the sale of liquor in any
state.
Nelson replied that the provision
had been introduced as a concession
to the moral sense of the country.
A general discussion arose as to the
power of Congress to Impose condi
tions upon prospective states, in which
Bailey, Piatt (Conn.) and Money were
the principal participants. Recalling
the polygamy prohibition in the act
admitting Utah, Piatt argued that
liquor-selling- might be prohibited on
the same principle.
Bailey contended that the regulation
of the liquor traffic was a mere matter
of police control, while the suppression
of polygamy depended on much broader
principles.
CIVIL SERVICE GROWING.
Commission Says Proportion of Eva
sions of Law Decreases.
WASHINGTON. Jan. IS. The United
States Civil Service Commission, in its
21st annual report to the President, says
that during the year the civil service act
has been made increasingly effective. The
number of persons examined was 133,069,.
an Increase of 13 per cent over the pre
vious year. The number appointed was
50.530, an increase of 20 per cent. The
greatest increase was in the examinations
for rural carrier, stenographer and type
writer and for the Navy-yard service.
Appointments to the classified service
through transfers, reinstatements, sus
pensions from the rules and temporary
appointments, which have been called the
back doors of the service, have been less
numerous than in former years. The
number of temporary appointments con
tinues large, but this Is said to be due
to causes over which the commission bos
no control.
Only nine states have received less than
PO per cent of the full share of appoint
xncnts to which they are entitled. The
percentage of removals as compared with
the whole number of employes was 1.6.

But New York Bar Does Not Ask for
Judge Hooker's Impeachment.
ALBANY. N. Y., Jan. IS. The alleged
acts of Warren B. Hooker, of Fredonla.
a Justice of the Supreme Court of New
York In the Eighth Judicial District, in
connection with appointments- and rental
transactions in the Postoffice at Fredonia,
Dunkirk. Chautauqua County, were form
ally "disapproved" by the State Bar As
sociation in annual session tonight, afteri
a sensational and well-attended meeting
lasting more than four hours.
The association defeated a resolution
offered by F. W. Hcinrlchs, referring the
matter to the Legislature, and calling
for the appointment of a committee to
formulate charges against Justice Hooker.
The findings of fact of the grievance com
mittee were adopted by an almost unani
mous vote.
The resolution finally adopted recites
the history of the case before the Bar
Association and Its grievance committee
points out that the alleged facts found by
the committee do not concern Justice
Hooker or reflect upon his conduct or
competency, and declares it to be the
sense of the association that the mattere
disclosed are "not within the meaning or
contemplation of the provisions of the
constitution of this state relating to the
removal from office of a judicial officer
by a concurrent resolution of the Legis
lature." The resolution describes the "irregu
larities" of which Justice Hooker is ac
cused as "political practices." definitely
disapproves them, orders the report of tho
grievance committee to be received and
filed, but directs that no further action
be taken by the association In the matter.
