Judge Klmbough said that ha was prepared to tell everything the Jury asked, even dlaregarding the year and a half limit set by himself. He discussed the story that he and Mayor Piatt. ' at tbe latter's election, went around to tbe precincts carrying money. The Judge admitted that he made such a trip, but he denied that money was to be used for Illegitimate pur poses. Judge Kimbrough said vote buying was not a crime In Danville, op erating under the special city election law. after 1 months had passed, a "Why. yes." aald Judge Kimbrough. when told of the story being circulated about bis automobile rides. "I went around with Mayor Piatt. There isn't anything wrong about It. It is true tbat our automobile carried money to the precincts. But why? Anyone who has lived In Dnnvllle long knows that candidates pay off their organisation men ward workers, etc. on the day of election. That's what the money Mayor Piatt and I carried was used for to pay off the workers." As to the law relating to Tote traffic ha said: "Outside of Danville, vote-buying la not a crime, in Danville It la not rrlme after IS months have passed. Likewise, since conspiracy la to 'do an unlawful act.' there can be no conspir acy when there Is no unlawful act. And now as to fhe li months' period. That provision in the law clearly Is class legislation and a violation of the four teenth amendment to the Federal Con stitution, which grants to all equal rights under the law."

KIMBROt'GH. Governor receded from his announced purpose of bringing a suit for libel against the Colonel. In the last campaign. Colonel Roose velt attacked Judge Baldwin for a de cision In a labor case. Governor Baldwin wrote Mr. Roosevelt that they might settle their d'fficulties without the publicity incident to an ac tion at law, by submitting the question at issue to some Judge or lawyer. Mr. Roosevelt declined. Governor Baldw'n then submitted s draft of what he would consider a satisfactory apology. Tbe Colonel rejected It, submitting a counter proposal which the Governor In turn re jected. Then followed the letters shortly to be published, on receipt of which Governor BeWrwtn announced that although he still held there waa an Iseme as to the facts and the law, be had become convinced of tbe sincerity of Colonel Roosevelt and would not proceed against him. "If the letters which I sent you," wrote the Colonel, "and In which I quoted your exact language and added my comments, are libelous, then every labor leader who ventures to agitata for reform In accl- t dent law is so In danger of libel and every man who In an efficient and effec tive manner Instead of a half-hearted fashion agitutes for reforms will be in very real danger of a libel suit, pro vided the Interest attacked Is sufficient ly powerful to undertake the suit. "If your suit is brought, my political opponents may make such capital out of It aa tbey choose." SUFFRAGE WINS SENATE VOTES FOR WOMES SURE TO GO TO CAXJFORXIA VOTERS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. M. At the instl gatlon of Hitchcock of Nebraska and af ter an acrimonious debate. In which Speaker Cannon resented Implied oritl clsm of himself, the House today- adopt ed almost unanimously a resolution by Hitchcock of Nebraska ordering an in vestigation by the committee on rules of the 49 days' delay in getting the re ports of the Balllnger-PInchot inves tigating committee printed and Into the hands of- members of the House. Tbe resolution requests a report within one week. A former resolution by Hitchcock stated that three reports were received from the committee on Investigation December T last and sbarply criticised the "unexplained delay, doubt and mys tery In referring said report to the com mittee on agriculture. The resolution set forth that the reference was not made until December 19. The commit tee did not receive the printed: reports until yesterday. The resolution con tlnued: Delay Violates Rules. During that period they wera neither upon tbe Speaker's table nor in tbe hands of th committee on agriculture. Therefore, be It resoved that these irrerular proceedings ars misleading end Improper treatment of these reports, rendering them for six weeks, unavoidable and Inaccessible and constitute a violation of tba proper procedure of the House ana the committee on rules De. ana it Is herebv. directed to investlsate and re port to the Hodso within one week the rea son for the delay and irregular treatment of these reports. The Speaker said he knew nothing of why tbe delay should have occurred. Cannon intimated that. If Hitchcock had peen present In the House oftener In the Isst few weeks and had earlier, called attention to the matter, there might not have been so much delay. Hitchcock replied that the Speaker's criticism was not Justified. Cannon Resents Criticism. The chair." aald the Speaker, "has no objection to any Investigation that may be made. The chair only desires that a member of the House should not place ths chair, the committee or the House subject to criticism that may be heralded on its face as accurate, accepted pos sibly as a fact by the "fever-vigilant and fair press of the country, until. In an orderly course of procedure and without prejudice, the facts may be obtained. It was then tne substitute resolution was offered. Scott of Kansas, chairman of the com mittee on agriculture, declared that th5 delay, accordlag to a report from the Government printing office, had been due to the necessity of preparing a litho graph map of Alaska. "That shows another reason for this Investigation." shouted Hitchcock. "Your explanation Is entirely different irom uie Speaker's." "I said the delay might have been due to extra eoDles." said the 8peaker. with a bang of the gavel. "Matters of this kind pass beyond the view of the Speak er. Aa far as the Speaker and his force Is concerned, this case has been handled according to the law, rules and the prac tice of the House. If the gentleman from Nebraska Is as anxious to have the facta as the chair is. without sensa tional statements, the chair Is entirely satisfied." Cause of Delay Found. .... nwhfl rHn t the resolu tion was adopted. It developed later that the reports did not pass inrougn me Speaker's hands, but were marked for ..f.nniA to the committee on agricul ture in ths usual way. Meantime word came from tne aenate that Nelson had introduced a concurrent ..inH.fi nrnvlillne for the nrfntlng of JOUO extra copies. Pending action on this resolution, tne oraer tor printing wss held up in the clerk's office. The .i..H.n i a Tint nnmtk from the Senate until December 13. and was not passed by the House until uecemoer u. In holding up the report from the nrintr the clerk In charge had over looked It. it was stated. BALLIXGER STRIKES ENEMIES Secretary Says They Would Tear Things Cp by Roots. BOSTON. Jan. K.
