KANSAS AGOG
OVER ALLEGED
PARDON BRIBE
Son Of Governor Said To
Have. Taken Money And
Delivered Paper
. U'EKA, Kan., Jan. 10. 14)
a u,n political circles ware agog to
'i wiih t to alleiratiou that Ituasell
. Davis, non u Governor Jonathan
.U. Davis, accepted $1200 and deliver
ed a pardon to Fred W. Pullman, for
mer president of a Ivansus nana; ana
convicted forger.
The transaction to,ok place in a ho
tel room here and was exposed by the
Kansas City Journal, whose represen
tatives In conjunction with Pollman,
had aet a trap (or the overnor'a son.
Governor Davie, whose term ei
pires nest Monday admitted hla son
had been "inveigled into accepting the
money," and asserted the affair "was
a fraineup by political enemies io get
me." '
' Starlet Disagree
. Governor Davis' explanation of the
Krone of the hotel room did not agree
with the story related by the Journal
reporters present.
The Journal'a version was:
Young Davis, who was 28 years old,
accepted J100O from Tollman, while
two Journal representatives, a short
hand reporter and several other wit
nesses listened in adjoining rooms by
the aid of a telephonic device hidden
behind a curtain in Poltaan's room.
Deceiving the $1000 payment the gov
ernor eon , eft the hotel and return
ed with the pardon and then recoived
an additional $250. He waa then con
fronted by the Journal reportera and
the other witnesses. When threatened
with arreat, the governor's son re
turned the $250 received on delivery
of the pardon and left the hotel, com
ing back later with the $1000.
, . ; Father Innocent.
The Journal said he refused to say
where he had left the $1000 after de
parting from the hotel the flrat time,
but added that young pavia asserted
hit father bad no knowledge of the
-transaction.
Governor Davis said his son told
him of the' affair last night when he
came home. -
"Somehow ,they inveigled my son
into accepting the money," he saitK
"But when ho realised why they had
given It to him, took it back to them.
At the same time he delivered the
pardon, which I' had already decided
to. grant."
The governor said he had aided
Pollman at his trial in 1021, and
later had appealed to Former Gover
nor Jlenry Allen in Tollman'! behalf.
Son Under Cover
The governor's son could not "be
rearmed last night, his father stating
ho had rotlred.
Tollman alleged he had been told
by Glenn A. Davis, who was sentenc
ed, to life IniprUontnont for murder
that Governor Davia solicited the
payment of money to hla son for exe
(titivp. clemenry. Pollman has been
active yince his release from prison
in iicliiilf of Glenn Davis and had oh
tinned., he anid, several short term
paroles for' Glenn Davia.
Tollman ststed that Glenn Davia
talked to the governor in Topeka nnd
charged the governor had told the
: murder convict if Tollman went down
to the. Davis fnrm "taking about
$TJ50 along" and the governor's son,
Tollman would "get what ho wanted."
Glenn Davis wns granted full pa
role ttf tho governor December 20,
last. Tollman stated. , 1
Governor Davis in his talk with
Gleen Davia aaid, according to Toll
man's affidavit Hint if Tollman paid
his aon na suggested, a pardon would
he Issued to Tollman and that per
hnpa Glenn Davia might nlo,get a
full pardon.
Glenn Davia, at Tollman's .Instruc
tions returned to Topeka and told the
governor he had been unable to find
Pollman, the affidavit says. It waa
then,- Tollman said, that Governor
Davia commuted the murder convict's
life term to 20 years and granted a
full parole.
Governor' Davia emphatically de
clared "the story that I had ever so
licited aid from Glenn Davis or any
one else is untrue absolutely false."

Ralph Budd Says Rumors
Of Construction Agree
ment Are Not True
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10. P
Reports that Italph Budd, preaident
of the Great Northern railway, who
Is sttending a conference in San
Francisco had notified his St.' Taul
headquartera that the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific systems would
build a line from Ueaa to Klamath
Falls, Ore., were declared unfounded
by Mr. Budd here last night.
In a statement Mr. Budd said hs
had made no report or recommenda
tion, nor bad he authorised any state
ments to be made regarding such a
project. No announcement will be
made, according to Budd, until the in
terstate commerce commission at
Washington has been advised as to
the results of the San Francisco con
ference which he and officials of the
Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific
and-L'niun Tacific are attending.
The conference was called for the
purpose of preparing an anewer to
the report of Examiner Kephsrt of
the commission which contained pro
posed plana for extension of railroad
facilities In central Oregon.
Meetings here have been private
and until the reply, which must be
in Washington by January 17, has
been examined by the commission, no
Information as to ita contents will be
divulged, Mr. Budd said.
The president of the Great North
ern system reiterated a statement he
made Thursday that the examiner's
report contained certain suggestions
in which his line was not "particular
ly interested," therefore he had not
gone into its details closely.
In his statement yesterday he said
that he understood that the report
"called particularly for a road across
the state (Oregon), from .east to
west."
Other members of the conference
here are Judge C. H. Cary, for the
Northern Tacific; William Sproule,
president of the Southern Pacific,
shd A. C. Spencer, attorney for the
Union Tacific.
