COUNTY BALKS ON
COST OF CHFCHIflG
INITIATIVE BILLS
Is the county justified in paying
the extreme expense amounting to
approximately $3000 for special
employes required to check up the
names on the various Initiative peti
tions for measures to go on the
state ballot? This, question is
troubling the county commissioners,
who have taken it under advisement,
W. S. U'Ren appeared before the commissioners-
Wednesday and - explained
that the time limit within which the
names could be checked is so short that
the. organizations backing the petitions
for the dock consolidation, -Roosevelt
bird haven, divided . session of the : leg
islature and the state market commission
guaranteed to County Clerk Be ve ridge
that the expense of the extra persons re
quired for checking would be paid by
them if the county would' not stand the
expense. He asked that the commission
allow the expense of $494 required for
checking the, bird haven petitions. -
Beveridge explained that the law re
quires his office to check out 100 names
each for the first two days after filing
of a petition, and 200 names dally there
after, and that it would have been im
possible to have made the check with
the regular forces within the time limit.
Me suggested that the sensible thing
would be to take to the next legislature
a bill eliminating present provisions and
requiring that hereafter persons backing
Initiative petitions be required to provide
for the expenses of checking. ; ! r
The commissioners decided to ask the
district attorney for an opinion. i

BORAH'S SPEECH CAME THE5
"In order to getit an appeal was sent
to the Wood league and a committee of
fifty was named in New York, headed
by Mr. Freeman," an attorney of that
city. Finally, at a meeting attended by
Whelan. Colonel Monnell, Rufus Patter
son and others, it was decided to un
derwrite the campaign; Senator Boran's
speech attacking campaign expenditures
oame out at about that time.";
Asked by Senator Kenyon for ' the'
names of all the contributors, Loeb stat
ed that' he "didn't know who they were;
but- finally recalled the names of Duke,
f erkins and Rogers. He said ' that his
own contribution to. the fund had been
(300. - - .-
.Senator Reed of Missouri then ques
tioned ? Loeb concerning, five 'cashiers
checks for 5000 each, said to have 'been
sent to Georgia, Florida, Maryland, and
to " Coloner Smith of the District of
Columbia." ,
GOOD POLITICS, HE SATS
Replying to a, question as to whether
it . was "good business" to send such
checks In - letters where they would be
subject - to : theft or loss. Loeb replied
that, while this might not be good busi
ness, "It was good politics." i
Babler also testified that when the
Rev. E. F.' Mosely, minister of . a col
ored church in St. Louis, came to him
with the suggestion that a $100 con
tribution to his church would "be a fine
thing," in removing the antipathy for
Governor Lo widen felt by the ; negroes,
he gave Mosely the $100.
'When the expose began he gave it
back," Babler said. "I fail to see any
thing morally wrong in any of these ex
penditures, however." ; ,". '
Major A. A. Sprague. Western man
ager of the Wood campaign, was called
to testify , following the conclusion of
Loeb's testimony. He was asked to ex
plain the sending of $14,800 to -Colorado
for expenses there and replied that he
knew nothing of the money but that
"General W.C Burtt, assistant to Colo
nel Procter, should know about It." .This
angered Senator Reed.
"Somebody knows about that money."
said the Missouri senator, "and Burtt
isn't the man. . s
Major Sprague stuck to his denial,
however, and was excused, ' k
J. Jx Babler, Republican national com
mitteeman from Missouri, recalled to
testify before the committee today, made
a statement in which he admitted re
ceiving $16,453.54 from E. L. Morse, Low
den campaign manager in Missouri, and
that he had disbursed $16,101 for ex
penses;; !
BRALEY MYSTERY
STILL UNSOLVED
After a ; week of' such investiga
tion as small clues have . permitted.
the mystery shrouding the j jdisap-
r ! '
pearance of Fred N. Braley, : Barre,
Vt,, banker, appeared no nearer so
lution Wednesday ; than It was when
the cache" of valuables was found
last Thursday in! a secluded : corner
of Macleay parkl j i
With the police making no effort to
discover trace of the man jwho left his
Vermont home nearly two years ago.
efforts of . Independent investigators
have been limited to inquiry among for
mer associates in remote, cities.
B. G. Hlte, a Salt Lake City broker,
who looked after much of Braleye min-J
ing . investment, is, pursuing an investi
gation of his own inasmuch as he has
many affairs ofBraley's that should be
closed up.: He has written ' for ! a copy
of the will, one of the documents in the
glass jars found in ' . the Macleay park
trench,-in , the hope that it may shed
some light on the disposition of his es
tate, which is believed to be consid
erable. . ' I -i ' I- . ' f - - " ; '
Attaches of the coroner's office are
checking their records in the hope of
identifying descriptions of Braley with
bodies found in the river during the last
year or so. The nearest identification
appears to be that of a man- found in
the rtver on Memorial day THe body
in This case had been so long in the
water, however, that few identifying
marks remained. .
