EUGENE, OREGON, MONDAY EVENING, JAN 23, 1911
Judge Blair, Undaunted by Death Threats, Continues
To Punish West Union (0.) Vote Sellers.
Danville, IU., Jan. 21.—City Attorney Frank Johns has con­
fessed to baying votes at tho last election and will go before the
grand jury and tell all he knows about the alleged bribery and
corruption.
Sheriff Shephard admits to buying votes, but says he will
testify before the grand jury, as it would be impossible to se­
cure a jury to convict any man who bought votes.
Later information was given out that both officials denied
the report of their confessions.

Washington, Jan. 21.—Secretary

wishes being the principal factor in
fixing the date. Th»- future s< cro-

could relieve the president of much
deep departmental work and whose
decisions would be practically a fi­
nality.
