Committee Probes Goiorado
Briber Charge.
MORGAN'S RECORD SHOWN UP
He Repeats Charge of Attempt to Buy
His Vote on Contest Evidence
Shows He Betrayed Labor
Union Secrets.
DENVER, Colo., March 7. In inacces
sible seclusion In a commiftce-room at
the state capltol, entrances to which are
closely guarded, the committee appointed
by the joint assembly to investigate
charges of bribery made by Senator Rich
ard Morgan against Vice-President
and General Manager J. M. Herbert, of
the Colorado & Southern Railroad, and
Postmaster Daniel Sullivan, of Cripple
Creek, began hearing testimony tonight.
Senator Morgan was called to the stand,
and while he was there every one except
the committee and the witness, including
the defendants, was excluded from the
room. Not only were the latter kept out
of the committee-room, but they were de
tained in an adjoining room set apart for
witnesses, and no one was permitted to
see or talk with them, except the officer
who had them la charge.
The committe remained in session until
11:30 and then adjourned until 10:30 to
morrow morning. Three witnesso besides
Sanator Morgan gave testimony. Morgan
reiterated the story of the alleged at
tempt to bribe him and his turning the
J750 over to the District Attorney. He
testified .that lie had previously met the
District Attorney several times.
District Attorney George Stidger testi
fied that on Sunday last he received a
telephone message to go to a room in
the Majestic building, which "he did, and
there met Morgan and Richard Broad, a
prominent Peabody supporter. The story
of the alleged attempt at bribery was re
lated to him there and the money turned
over to him at the time. He said it was
the first time he had ever met Morgan.
A man named Baum said he had been
employed as a sleuth by the Peabody
interests, and told oLhaving shadowed
Postmaster Sullivan and heard the alleged
proposal of the latter that Morgan should
accompany him to the room of Mr. Her
bert for the purpose of a conference.
O. EL Smith auditor of the Northwest
ern Coal Company, was placed on the
stand to tell of certain dealings his com
pany had with Senator Morgan when he
was a coal miner of the Lafayette, Colo
rado, local union of the United Mine
workers of America. Smith swore that
during 1503 his- company paid Morgan to
make periodical reports of the doings of
the union at its secret meetings, presided
over by Morgan, and also to use his in
fluence in preventing a strike. Several
receipts were offered in evidence, signed
"B. Morgan." which signature, Smith
said, was that of Senator Morgan, for
sums ranging from $100 to $250. Smith said
that these sums were paid for services
rendered as above stated.
Another receipt for a considerable sum
of money was offered to show that Mor
gan had been paid by fee coal company
to work against the eight-hour bill while
he was a member of the House labor com
mittee, which Tiad the bill in charge. This
evidence was intended to establish
Morgan's character.
WILL AWAIT BRIBERY REPORT
Assembly Hears Argument on Con
test, and Will Make Speeches.
DENVER, March 7. Argument by at
torneys in the Peabody-Adams Guberna
torial contest was concluded today. Ex
Governor Charles S. Thomas made the
final address on behalf of Governor Alva
Adams, speaking for three hours, and
John M. Waldron closed for the con
testor. James H. Peabody, with a two
hours' address.
Beginning tomorrow morning, the
members of the General Assembly will
discuss the contest under a rule limit
ing speeches to ten minutes for each
member. It is expected the debate
will continue two or three days. The
ballot probably will be reached on Fri
day or Saturday next. The Joint con
vention has indicated a purpose. Slow
ever, not to take a vote until a report
is received from the committee ap
pointed to investigate bribery charges
on ''the statement of Senator Richard
IV. Morgan that James M. Herbert,
vice-president of the Colorado &
Southern Railroad, and Daniel Sulli
van, Postmaster at Cripple Creek, had
offered him $1500 to vote for Adams,
and that Herbert had given him 5753
of this amount.
The committee met last night to open
Us Investigation, but adjourned until
tonight without hearing any testimony,
on account of the absence of the Sena
tor who made the briberycharges.
Ex-Governor Thomas' speech was a
logical presentation of the case of the
contestee, punctuated with scathing
Barcasm and pointed wit.
"Where are your cap and bells this
morning?" asked Mr. "Waldron, when one
of Mr. Thomas' jibes penetrated a little
further than others had.
"If I had known you wanted them I
would have brought them." replied Mr.
Thomas, "for they represent the only
character you have assumed on this
floor."
Mr. Thomas opened his speech with
an argument against the proposition
promulgated by Mr. "Waldron that the
i ontest was one to be decided on partisan
lines.
Answering the statement of thePca
body attorney, that a body cannot bo
two-fifths gangrene and three-fifths
wholesome, Mr. Thomas suggested that
if this rule is to prevail it would be
necessary to throw out the entire coun
ty of Denver, together with the out
Hide counties in which fraud was
shown.
"If this case was pending before the
Supremo Court, or any other court,"
raid Mr. Thomas, "the contestee could
come into court and ask for a non
suit, and it would be granted, for the
contestor has made no case." He rid
iculed the 'claims of conspiracy, and
sarcastically remarked that he sup
posed the -5143,000 which Chairman
Fairley. of the Republican party, ac
knowledged he spent during the cam
paign was spent for the purpose of se
curing a fair election.
"If the experts were good for any
thing, they could separate the good
from tho bad ballots, and the good bal
lots should be counted," said counsel In
his argument against throwing out the
entire vote of the precincts where al
leged frauds existed.
In regard to the failure of election
officials to administer an oath to illit
erates, the former Governor said If
this was cause for throwing out pre
cincts In Denver, then the precincts la
Huerfano which, were before the con
test committee must be thrown out, as
Illiterates were not sworn there. This
would increase Governor Adams' plu
rality by 1S50.
Talcing up the subject -of handwrit
ing experts, Mr. Thomas read decisions
from the Supreme Courts of & number
of states to the effect that handwrit
ing expert testimony was of the low
est order, and should nover be accepted
without corroborative evidence. "So
long as the great corporations contrib
ute to the campaign funds of both po
litical parties you are going to hive
,&ud &2id corrupon at the soils."
said Mr. Thomas in closing his re
marks at the morning session.
This afternoon Mr. Thomas devoted him
self to an analysis of the vote cast in
November and produced figures to support
his argument that Peabody's vote for
Governor was considerably less In all but
five counties of the state than the .vote
received by any other Republican candi
date on the ticket.
Mr. Waldron, in his rebuttal, replied
briefly to the arguments of the several
attorneys who spoke for the-contestee. He
closed by reminding Mr. Thomas that his
reference to corporations was unwise, as
there were corporations behind each party
to the contest.
TURN LIGHT ON BEEF TRUST
Kansas Legislator Asks President to
Reject Garfield's Report.
TOPEKA. Kan., March 7. The Kansas
Senate hasadopted a resolution denounc
ing the report of Commissioner Garfield
in the "Beef Trust" investigation, and re
questing the President of the United
States to reject this report and appoint

fully informed as to the sources of their
enormous profits and foundations of their
colossal fortunes, and the means, instru
ments and agreements by which, for a
generation, thy have robbed both the
producer and the consumer, to the end
that legislation protecting both may be
intelligently devised, and that the light
of publicity, that light -that Is destructive
of all trusts and combinations, may be
thrown upon the operations of this vicious
and iniquitous conspiracy."

OREGQNIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 7. Senator Fulton called
on Attorney-General Moody today to as
certain whether there had been any de
velopments in the case of Marshal Mat
thews. From assurances he received, the
Senator believes Matthews will not be re
moved or interfered with in any way. He
was told that no charges of any material
consequence had been brought against
Matthews, and there was no showing of
record which would Justify his removal.
If "there should be important develop
ments, Senator Fulton will be notified be
fore action is taken.

WITH UNITED INDORSEMENT
New Washington Judicial Candidates
Submitted to President.
" OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 7. Senator Ankeny, accom
panied by Senator Piles and Represents?
tive Jones, will call on the President to
morrow morning and present the formal
indorsement of E. P. Whltson, of North
laklma, for Judge; George H. Baker, of
Goldendale, for Marshal, and Joseph B.
Undsley. of Spokane, for District Attor
ney of the new Eastern Washington Ju
dicial District created by act of the. late
Congress.
It is presumed that all three men will
be promptly nominated by the President,
especially as the new judicial district has
already been created, and as tho appoint
ments are really demanded without fur
ther delay. Strong indorsements of each
man will be laid before the President,
strong enough, it is believed, to satisfy
him that they are worthy of his favorable
consideration.
A favorable report was made today on
the nomination of Henry L. Wilson, of
Seattle, as Minister to Belgium, and of
Thomas S. Eammons, of Tacoma, as Con
sul to Nluchwang, along with the report
on Henry B. Miller, of Oregon, as Consul
General to Yokohama. All three men

Is no opposition to them.
JUDGE PLAYS KNIGHT EKRAHT
He Rescues Kidnaped Filipino Girls
From Bad American Skipper.
ST. LOUIS, March 7. Advices have juBt
been received from Manila telling of the
exploits of Judge Adolph Wlslizenus,
formerly a Police Court Judge of St!
Louis, and now a Justice on the Island
of Cebo, who, in January last, personally
pursued and captured an American com
mercial vessel that was leaving with
three Filipino girls forcibly detained on

cleared from Cebu, the cry was raised
that three Filipino girls bad been carried
away. A cutter overhauled the ship, but
the girls could not be found aboard.
Then Judge Wisllzenus, hearing the re
port; eaddenly adjourned court, buckled
on a revolver, summoned armed native
officials and pursued the barkentlne in a
launch, overhauling" her and finding the
three girls In a locker. Captain Simpson

LAND SETTLEMENT TOO SLOW
Irish Condemn Delay In Reinstate
ment of Evicted Tenants.
LONDON. March 7. The evening
session of the House of Commons was
occupied by Irish members In complain
ing of undue delay in the reinstate
ment of evicted tenants under the land
act of 1903.
Mr. Atkinson, Attorney-General for
Ireland, who defended the work of the
estates commissioners, declared that
evIcteJ farms unlet throughout Ire
land showed a reduction of 34 per cent
since 1894. The commissioners now have
41,000 acres of untenanted land, and re
instatement would In future be much
expedited.
T. W. Russell ridiculed the smallness
of the work accomplished and said that
it was Dublin Castle that, stood In the
way. N
Finally Kendall O'Brien's motion,
which started the debate, and which
called for remedial measures, was re
jected, 220 to 182.
The Ulster Unionists met in the
House of Commons and decided, in
view of Mr. Wyndham's resignation of
the Chief Secretaryship for Ireland and
pending the appointment of 'ala suc
cessor, to support the government in
divisions on the Irish Question.
EACH SIDE STANDS ITS GROUND
Danger That Hungarian Crisis May
Bring Civil War.
VIENNA. March 7. Judging by reports
received from Budapest, a conflict be
tween the crown and the Hungarian na
tion appears possible and even probable.
The contending interests cannot agree
on the matter of military reforms and
particularly on the use of the Hungarian
tongue In the Hungarian army as the
language of command, Hungarians de
claring that this reform must be Insti
tuted and the Emperor that It is impos
sible. Neither side shows signs of weak
ening, and the Question of language of
command is more pregnant of danger to
day than ever before.
Six out of 16 Hungarian political
leaders have already been received in au
dience by the Emperor. They and others
who were received In audience before
these six were called to "Vienna have
made it known that the Emperor declares
that the military demands of the united
opposition parties aro inadmissible, char
acterizing them as meddling and an in
trusion upon his prerogatives. In these
interviews the Emperor spoke feelingly
and with deep conviction of the necessity
for an undivided and strong army al
ways ready for battle. He said he could
not permit existing conditions in the
army to be altered, and asked the poli
ticians with whom he conferred to use
their efforts topersuade the united oppo
sition to exclude ".the demands for mili
tary reform from their programme. This
the opposition shows no signs of wanting
to do; on the contrary, the parties com
posing the opposition Insist that the de
cision as to what language shall bo used
in the Hungarian army is not tho exclu
sive right of the crown, and say that the
Emperor's attitude and declarations re
move even the expectation that His Maj
esty eventually will respect the wishes
of tho Hungarian people regarding the
proposed military reforms.
One side or the other must make rad
ical concessions, but both show signs of
being very stiff-necked. It is a contest
for principles which, on the one side the
Emperor declares he will not recognize
and which on the other side the opposi
tion insists shall be conceded. As a re
sult of the serious outbreak arising from
the knowledge of the Emperor's declara
tion the interest concerning, the outcome
Of the remaining audiences with the Hun
garian political leaders Is Increasing
among the Hungarians, who are heatedly
discussing eventualities.
Haytl Will Expel Syrians.
PORT AU PRINCE. Hayti. March 7.
The American Minister. Mr. Howell, hav
ing been informed that the Haytlan gov

all Syrians from the republic, requested
President Gord to grant them a delay of

constantly increasing Reeling here against

competition In business which might bring
about serious complications.

well-known anarchists, were made. A
bomb was discovered In front of the pal
ace. eC tfc Harquls of Publ. hra. it
was removed in time .to prevent an explo-

The government .believes that the Inci
dents at Barcelona aro part of a general
anarchist plot which developed there
prematurely before the arrangements at
other centers were complete.
HAS LORD DUDLEY RESIGNED?
Question by Irish Draws Evasive An
swer From Government.
LONDON, March 7. Asked at the ris
ing of the House of Commons whether
the Earl of Dudley (Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland), or others had resigned. Sir Al
exander Acland-Hood, amid laughter,
replied that obviously he "was not
awaro of resignations when they were
tendered, but only when they had "been
accepted."
This equivocal statement is held to
imply that the nnmber of resignations
Is not yet complete, but that Mr. Wynd
ham will be followed Into retirement by
the Earl of Dudley, who, at the present
moment, is taking a holiday In Paris,
while. If Sir Anthony MacDonnell does
not resign, the new Secretary will prob
ably dispense with his services.

Y Shortage in Specie of German Na
tional Bank of Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, March 7. German Na
tional Bank In this city Is 555,000 short
on Ita Government reserve fund, accord
ing to & story published here today. That
amount apparently has been stolen from
Its specie vaults, 350.000 In bills and 35CCO
In gold. Officials say the robbery Is one
of the boldest and most puzzling ever
known in this section.
December 13 the reserve fund was count,
ed and found to be intact. Four weeks
ago the shortage was discovered, and
the most thorough investigation has been
carried on ever since without results.
The German National Bank is one of the
strongest banks in this section, with a
capital of $300,000, a surplus of 3500,000, un
divided profits of 310.000, and total re
sources of nearly 37,000,000. .President
Bohrer said the loss was comparatively
small, and that it might be found later
to be a matter of bookkeeping.
