city deposits, and that $17,500 had been
paid to a councilman.
Mr. Nesbit told a remarkable
story related to him by Vilsack, as to
the manner in which the $17,500 disap
peared from the bank. According to
Nesbit, Klein approached Vilsack and
said the German National Bank would
be made a city depositary if the bank
was willing to do as other banks
had done. Vllsak conferred with
Ramsey, and later went to the reserve
vault, and. taking out the money,
placed It on a table. At this time
Councilman Klein and a companion
were in the bank. Sometime later 11
sack went to 'he room and the money
was gone. .
Mr Nesbit said he also talked
with Ramsey. who flnnlly told
the same story as had Vllsak. On

JARIS. Dec. 23. M. Matter, the pub
lic prosecutor, vu heard today In the
suit .brousht by Count Boni de Castel
lane against hi ex-wife, who was Miss
Anna Gould, in which he asks that the
custody of his three children be awarded
to his mother. The public prosecutor
recommended that the children be left
In the custody of their mother.
M. Maitre scored both the Count de
Castellane and the Prince de Sagan. The
Count stood well to the front of the
courtroom, balancing his silk hat on the
end of his cane, and was the cynosure
of all eyes. Several times when the con
demnations were particularly severe, he
bit his lips and flushed crimson, but he
never lost his composure.
M. Maitre based his argument entire
ly on the welfare of the children. The
advisability of placing them in an In
stitution was complicated by the deli
cate health of the eldest boy, a condi
tion rendering it Imperative that the
children be kept together. He said it
was Impossible to confide them to the
care of their father or to his mother,
the Marquise de Castellane. which
would amount to the same thing.
As for the Princess De Sagan, It was
true that regretable conditions had oc
curred, but the court must remember
that previously she had been an admira
ble mother, and what had happened had
n.-t n,-"-9 t-.': unworthy. In view of
th--e f;v tf M, Maitre said, his
.'... vl;Lj;on. were that the chil-c-rii

mother.
GRAFTERS' VIEW IS TOLD
(Continued from First Pae
for paving Fourth avenue with wood
blocks was a trap set for the Councllmen
by the members of the Voters' league.
It was while carrying on the negotia
tions for the passage of this ordinance,
he said, that Klein was so free In telling
him things. Mr. "Wilson said Klein be
lieved blm to be Interested In the wood
paving business. Mr. "Wilson said.
Alwaya Ready to Cut Melon.
"I secured two rooms at the Duouesne
Hotel. Through the door and walls I
have bored, a number of holes. My assist
ant. Herbert Jones, sent for Councllmamn
Klein and said he represented a western
lumber company. Mr. Jones said he
wanted to pave a street with wooden
blockss.
"I have been Informed." said Mr. Jones
to Klein, "that you are the right man
to see. We want you to assist us In get
time the ordinance through the Councils.
I admire the way you put through the
German National Bank deal."
All the time Detective Wilson was In
the adjoining room with a stenographer.
"Yes. I am always ready for a melon
cutting." said Klein to Mr. Jones. "Tou
know Councilman Brand Is a big man
In councils and. if he Is willing, we will
take the matter up. Some -of the Coun
cilmen will want J100 to vote for your
ordinance, some will want 115 and some
J:5 and some 15. The $3 Councllmen we
call the 'easy marks.'
Klein and Brand Take Money.
Mr. "Wilson testified that November IS
Klein by agreement met Mr. Jones in the
Duquesne Hotel. Klein told Mr. Jones
that the ordinance was In good shape for
passage.
"I have something for you. Mr. Klein."
said Mr. Jones.
"Jones." said Mr. "Wilson. "then
counted out five $100 bills and gave them
to Klein. On the same day Councilman
"William Brand called to see Mr. Jones
and received $S00."
It was at the Fort Pitt Hotel, how
ever, that Klein told "Wilson of the strong
combination that controlled Councils. Ac
cording to the testimony of Mr. "Wilson,
Klein said:
Sixes Vp Hl3 Colleagues.
"Tou know I get the puddings and
. melons, and get them ready for the cut
ting. You know "Wesson looks like a fel
low that Is hard to reach, but he is not.
He was elected as a reformer, then he
came over to our side of the ship. He
was tried and tested and, when he was
found to be all right, we took him In on
the good things. Now he will take the
money as fast as the rest of us.
"Now there Is Hugh Ferguson. He
will take the money, too, and Jacob Sof
fel and Wasson do our floor work. So
you can see what a combination we
have."
Price Ranges From $5 to $1000.
Mr. "Wilson testified that Klein told
him that $45,000 was paid to Councllmen
in the construction of the filter beds at
the new filtration plant.
"Klein." he said, "told me that 60
'Councllmen were paid $45,000. Some of
the Council received as much as $1000
and some got $5."
All the Councllmen were held for court
trials. With the exception of Klein and
Wasson they renewed their bonds and
were released. Late tonight Klein ami
"Wasson had not secured the $30,000 bond
demanded for each of them.
The first case taken up was that of
"W. V. Ramsey and A. A. Vilsack, for
mer president and cashier of the Ger
man National Bank respectively. Na
tional Bank Examiner Nesblt testified
that he had examined the German Na
tional Bank, completing his work last
Saturday morning. He had found a suspicious-looking
note for $17,500. and
asked Cashier Vilsack about it. At
first Vilsack said it was purely a per
sonal matter between his brother and
himself. Finally Vilsack. he said, ad

CLEVELAND. O., Dee. 23. (Special.)
An investigation of the State Department
of Labor may follow the arrest in Port
land, Or., yesterday, of Thomas J. Pat
terson, a special agent for the Depart
ment, on a charge of Impersonating a
United States Secret Service agent. Pat
terson had been missing since October
3 and It is charged that no effort was
made by the Department to locate him,
despite the fact that he left its offices
here without notice and with Its finances
In chaotic order, although no shortage
has developed.
A subsequent Inquiry, it Is said, de
veloped the fact that Patterson took ad
vantage of the law making it impossible
to garnish a state employe's salary nnd
left an enormous number of unpaid bills
behind.
Patterson Rolled High.
The arrest of Patterson, famed In
Cleveland as a wearer of diamonds and
fine clothes. ex-Deputy County Auditor
and prominent Republican, followed a
search by Government officials In all
parts of the country. The Information
to be used against him alleges that he
got an almost unlimited line of credit
here through representation that he was
a Government officer; that when Patter
son departed from here he went East
and wound his way to the Northwest by
a southwest route. After preliminary
proceedings are closed In Portland, Pat
terson will be brought back here to await
action by the grand Jury. The Secret
Service Department is said to have a
mass of evidence to offer against him.
Official Accounts Correct.
Patterson was In the County Auditor's
office about a year, and for two years,
until three months ago, was in the State
Bureau of Labor. He had supervision of
employment agencies. Hia accounts with
the estate, when finally examined, were
found O. K.

cloak model. She went with him and is
now in Portland with him, It la under

PRESIDENT'S REPLY TO SENATE
INQUIRY TO BE MILD.
Indication Are That ExecutlveWlll
Recommend Change In Entire
Inspection System.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 23. Indications
are that persons who expect President
Roosevelt to say something of a personal
nature in his message to Congress, re
plying to the inquiry as to the basis of
that portion of tois recent message dealing
with the Secret Service, will be disap
pointed. It is expected he will confine
himself principally to an effort to sus
tain the declaration in his annual mes
sage that the action of Congress in inti
mating the activities of the Secret Service
agents has resulted in increased crime.
Data, will be produced to show that
criminals and confidence men have been
quick to take advantage of the cessation
of the work, of the Secret Service men,
but it Is not believed that there will be
any reflection upon the character of In
dividuals that will in the slightest degree
embarrass any member of the House or
the Senate.
ITo meet any objection that the Secret
Service is limited by statute to the de
tection of counterfeiters, revenue and cus
toms frauds, and at the same time to pre
serve the general usefulness of that in
stitution, the President probably will rec
ommend a change in the organic law, so
as to provide for the merging of the Se
cret Service, the Land Office inspectors,
Postoffice inspectors and all of the other
minor Governmental inspection services
into one general bureau of criminology
