$100,000 Bribe Offered.
As a result of the evidence. Mr. Dods
worth's brother. John W. Dodsworth. edi
tor of the Journal of Commerce, will be
recalled to Washington to explain why
he failed to enlighten the committee In
his recent testimony. It Is probable that
Charles A. Conant, of New York, may
be asked to throw light on an offer to
subsidise the paper, alleged to have been
forwarded through him to the Journal of
Commerce, which he then represented as
Washington correspondent.
Alfred W. rodwurth testified that his
paper had never been subsidised by any
Interests. But about alx years ago a
person came Into his office and offered
to pay the Journal of Commerce 1100,000,
Saking l.Oin.00i) copies of his paper, for
the insertion of an article in one issue
supporting ship subsidy legislation.
Tills man refused to disclose his iden
tity unless his proposition were to be
accepted. Mr. Dosworth said he Imme
diately called his brother, John W., into
his office as a witness to the conversa
tion and the proposition was declined.
Spain Also Tried to Buy.
Another man about two years ago.
Dodsworth said, tried to buy the support
I of the paper for W.00O. and In the Spanish-American
War the Spanish govern
ment tried to buy the paper's Influence.
Chairman Olcott. Representative I-ong-srorth,
of Ohio, and othr members of
the committee sharply criticised the two
brother for falling to submit this Infor
mation to the committee and pointed out
that John W. Dodsworth. In his testi
mony some time ago, had been asked
categorically as to such matters and had
denied any Information such aa that dis
closed today. The witness said the com
mittee would have to ask the brother
why he failed to disclose the Informa
tion. . Conant Made Offer.
Olcott asked the witness who repre
sented the Spanish government when It
tried to buy his paper's support. Mr.
Dodsworth replied that the proposition
came through Charles' A. Conant. who
waa then the paper'a Washington corre
spondent. Pressed aa to the Identity of
the men who made the offer. Mr. Dods
worth said his father or brother may
have been told, but ha himself bad not.
Conan submitted the proposition In a
letter, according 'to the wllress. who
qualified this by saying he thought It
waa a letter, after the committee had
stated It would like to have the letter.
Hawl'jr of Oregon asked how much
money wis proposed In that offer, and
the witness) said he did not know. His
father was then managing editor. -
Two frleamcr Lines Named.
Mr. Dodsworth. asked what he regard
ed as the ship subsidy interests, men
tioned the Ward line and the New York
A Porto Rico Steamship Company, but
did not recall others. He said he could
not undertake to came the persons who
made the JIo".( ofTT. but he believed
It came from ship aubtdy Interests, and
when fresed as to what he meant by
that, he mentioned the Cramps and the
Roaches as Interests coming under that
head.
He referred to the attacks- made on his
paper for Its opposition to ship subsidy
and declared "a He from beginning to
end"' a clipping from a Cincinnati or
Cleveland paper, purporting to be an
artK-Ie from the Journal of Commerce
coming out for subsidy. He said the
New York Commercial and the New
York Tribune had called hie paper a
"subii.Iised shipping pr."
Mr. Dodsworth will resume his testi
mony tomorrow.

defeated.
The special rule will provide for half
