He declared it waa not the purpose of the corporation to "gobble the export trade of the world at any cost." . , "A monopoly of the iron and steei trad in this country," said Farrell.

A bonus dividend of $5 a share is credited to the employe purchaser until tha stock Is all paid for. Then it Is turned over to him." "Suppose such a stockholder is dis charged for cause." asked the chair man, "what becomes of the accumu lated bonus dividend?" "It is forfeited to the fund, aa in tha case of an employ who buys stock LUNG Morrison at Fourth Street and drops out on his payments," said Reed. "The money turned In this way Is divided pro rata anon; the remain ing; employe stockholders." STARK SEWERS PLANNED Trunk Systems Outlined to Serve 10 Outlying Districts. The City Engineer has prepared plans for two trunk sewers, called the East Stark street sewer systems Nos. 1 and 2, to serve the main portion of Rose City Park, part of Laurelhurst, Elmhurst. Belle Crest, Center Addition, North Mount Tabor, Montavllla. Kln xell Park, Belmont Villa and Eaden dale, east of Mount Tabor. Trunk sew er No. 1 begins at East Twenty-first and East Stark streets and extends to the Willamette River. Cost of con crete for this system is given as at $83,910, and for brick and stone the cost is estimated at $89,675. East Stark street sewer system No. 3 begins at East Forty-third and East Burnslde and connects with the East Stark street sewer system No. 1 at East First and East Stark streets. The cost of this sewer is estimated as fol lows: Concrete, $144,428, and for brick and stone, $152,302. The total cost of No. 1 and No. 2 is estimated at $228,030 for concrete and $231,977 for stone and brick.

Another trunk sewer must be laid from East Forty-third street eastward and probably northward to serve Center Addition, North Mount Tabor and Montavllla, and north into Rose City.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Demanding an Investigation into campaign expen ditures In 1904 and 1908, Senator Cul berson, of Texas, In the Senate today made sweeping charges of corruption against the Republican committee for those and other years. Indirectly he charged that foreign Ambassadorships were bestowed as. a reward for campaign contributions and lnferentially that ex-President Roosevelt had condoned the use of money In politics. Mr. Culberson's address was made in anticipation of an unfavorable report by the committee on contingent ex penses on his resolution providing for an investigation. Referring especially to the cam paign of 1908. Mr. Culberson said that the contributions to the Democratic fund had been made by 74,000 persons, with $15,000 as the largest, while those to the Republican fund were made by 12.330 persons, with Charles P. Taft. brother of the President, at their head with a donation of $110,000. Among the contributors mentioned were Am bassadors Reid and Kerens and Minis ter Lars Anderson. Mr. Culberson referred to the fact that George B. Cortelyou, In the 1904 campaign, was chairman of the Repub lican National Committee while he was Secretary of Commerce and Labor and ! intimated that Mr. Cortelyou had taken I advantage of the secrets of corpora tions whose arcairs migni oe investi gated under the Federal law to prooure money for the campaign. "It has been estimated." he says, "that the enormous and unconscionable sum of $11,000,000 was raided and prob ably expended by the committee of which he was chairman. The very size and audacity of this fund, if ap proximately correct, smacks of extor tion, profligacy and corruption. Who contributed and where did it come from?"
