P' u - 16 't -- CHILTON DENIES HE PURCHASED HIS WAY TO SEAT IN SENATE West Virginian, on Floor, De fends Himself and Colleague Against Charges. Declaring that the election of no mem ber ot the Senate was more free from blot than his own. Senator Cr.con of West Virginia today roBe to a question of personal privilege In the Senate and defended himself agalns. the charges that his election was obtained througa bribery and corruption. He said he would be satisfied with the decision of the Committee of Privileges and Elections, and with that of the Senate on the question whether an investigation should be ordered. At his request, the cleric read the statement In replv to the Glasscock charges which war put Into the hands of the Committee on Privileges and Elections yesterday. This statement was signed by Senators Chilton and "Watson. Statement Is Reply. The statement is a detailed reply to the charges that the elections of the two "West Virginia Senators were ob tained by corruption and bribery. The roost important feature of the state ment is the letter of L. J. Shock, a member of the legislature, to Senator "Watson. In this. Shock admits his al leged confession that in attempt was made to bribe, him was a "play" to hurt Watson and Chilton and In the in terest of John T. McGraw. fihock says further that so far as he knows the elections of Watson and Chil ton were honest and fair. Senator Chilton, in remarks prefatory I to the reading of the statement, said the question of the honesty of his elec tion had not been raised in the legis lature. Charges Are Denied. One of the' charges met in the state ment Is that the elections were brought about by the railroads and the Stand ard Oil Company. In this connection and as to other charges, the statement Bar: "In the first place the opponent of Senator Watson was then, and Is now, the general counsel in West Virginia of the Norfolk and Western railroad, which was then, and is now. owned and controlled by the Pennsylvania, railroad, while Mr. McGraw, the opponent of Senator Chilton, is the owner of the West Virginia Midland railroad, which connects with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and the attorney of Mr. Mc Graw railroad, a member of the State Senate at that time, is the same gentle man who prepared the statement of one 3. L. Shack. "More than this, Mr. Hubbard, from whose speech the memorial makes a garbled quotation, was then and is now on attorney for one of the Pennsyl vania railroad lines in West Virglnla. "The falsity of the charge that we were supported and elected by the Standard Oil Company will appear to the committee when they are told that this same Senator Bland from whose tstatement at the Joint session the me morial quotes so elaborately, was then, and Is now, the attorney of the Hope Natural Gas Company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company. "This statement makes It plain that we were opposed rather than supported by these special Interests." PAlllEBlli CUE HIS BUSINESS H. K. Fulton Decides He Cannot Make Expenses Under New Loan Bill. When George Wech, pawn inspector of the District, opened his mall today he found this written across the top of i one of the report sheets: "Last report of H. K. Fulton." The signing of the loan shark bill yes terday sounded the death knell to Uv pawnbroking business of Washington, xnd while Mr, Fulton was the first to refuse any more pledge, it Is under stood the others will begin winding up ! rneir Dusinesses at tne expiration of the thirty days of grace allowed by the bill. It will be necessary for the pawnbrokers to remain open at least a year or make some arrangements whereby pledges can be redeemed within twelve months after the last loans were made. Fulton's pawnshop, at 314 Ninth street. Is regarded as the most prominent in the city, ami the loans made by tin firm were mostly large sums. Mr Ful ton and the other pawnbrokers contend dial they cannot do business at I per cent a month, asserting that they would lose money on such a basis. It is understood that one pawnshop, which has heretofore made loans in large sums on the basis of 1 per cent a. month, will continue to do business, i Sentence Commuted By President Taft President Taft has commuted the sen tence Imposed by court-martial on CapL Harrie F Reed.

Hrx.- WASHINGTON AND NEW POTOMAC ELECTRC E SUPPLY ANNAPOLIS Deal With Washington, Balti more and Annapolis Railroad Expected to Close Today. If a deal that has been In course of negotiation for six months and is being threshed out to a conclusion by the exe cutive committee of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Rail road Company in Baltimore today Is concluded, as expected, the Potomac Electric Power Company of Washington will have another city as a customer for its light and power current. The deal contemplates the closing down of the electric light plant of the Annapolis Gas and Electric Company and the sup ply of electric current to the people of the capital of Maryland by the Potomac Electric Power Company, through the medium of the lines of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Rail road. E. S. Marlow, general manager of the Potomac Electric Power Company, said today that the plan had been in con templation for the past six months, and It was learned from Baltimore that tne executive committee of the railroad company, consisting of George T. Bis hop, president ;Frank H. Glnn, vice president and general counsel, both of Cleveland. Ohio: George A. Craig, of Toledo, Ohio, treasurer, and James J. Doyle, general manager, are now In ses sion considering tne plan. The railroad company has had an op tion upon the plant of the Annapoli3 corjpany since January 23. and con templates taking over the stock of the company at around 1100,000. and the as sumption of $190,000 outstanding 5 and 6 per cent bonds. The railroad com pany has been purchasing the power for Its line to Baltimore and Annapolis ever since the opening of the road. The plan is, if the option be exercised, to discontinue the small plant In Annap olis and establish a sub-station, for the conversion of the high voltage cur rent frota the Potomac company for use by Annapolis consumers. This would amount to wholesaling of elec tric current to the railroad company and retailing ir, "stepped down," to the people of the Mary.and capital city, giving the Potomac company another Important customer. Since last fall the company has been supplying current to the lines flf the Washington-Virginia Railway Company, that company dis continuing its power plant across the river. Potomac Electric Consolidated S"s made a new high in the trading today on the Washington Stock Exchange, when CCO0 of the bonds sold for 102. There was little trading in the ses sion. Washington Railway 4's were in demand. According to a dispatch from Rich mond this afternoon the stockholders of the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Po tomac Railroad Company today ratified the agreement whereby the road .is to pay more than 350,000 back taxes to the State of lrginia and towns and coun ties through which it runs. F. Baker Weaver was elected presi dent of the Rosslyn Brick Company at the annual meeting of directors follow ing the annual election yesterday. Other directors elected are: George W. Wise, vice president and general mana Fcn; George A. Weaver, treasurer; W. W. Barnes, secretary and Walter Weaver. During January. 1,814 commercial fail ures were reported to R. G.

The bathtubs of the battleship .Maine are not .precisely at a. premium. St.. Joseph, Mo., according1 to reports re ceived at the Navy Department today, does not want the. tub- Nor does Ur bana, Ohio. The Urbane tub now re poses In a hen house. It ,-wIll be sent to Findlay, Ohio, which U regarded as a, better asylum for dependent and unpro tected tubs. The situation has been complicated by a multiplication of bathing vessels. When one was' sent to TJrbana it ap peared that the Navy Department had only one memento of this character. But there is now another tub, an offi cers' tub, to be disposed 'of. 'It is the latter that St. Joseph has turned down so coldly, the city council refusing to appropriate the money wherewith to pay the 'freight. So far Findlay, Ohio, has not refused this emblem of cleanliness. The Navy Department Is frankly hoping that It will keep It. To have one circulating hathtnh nn Ita hands la sufficient Errfaf I without adding to it a second Itinerant ' thing of Iron and porcelain wherein to lave the dust from onescir. If Findlay, Ohio, stays put there will be hope of disposing of the second tub. Of course, the one sent to TJrbana, now housed In the pleblan hen-coop, was the official property of Captain SIgsbee. The other, the one on which St. Joseph has opened the cold faucet, was a mere officers bath. Bathtub troubles mav multiply, as the one now In the White House. In stalled four years 'ago, ht several sizes larger than that required for persons of ordinary physique, nnd may daunt, with Its broad expanse and generous depth, even the courage of a Princeton presi dent. It has not been determined that this tub will be removed, however. RESORTS Atlantic City ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. AMERICA'S FAMOUS ALL-TEAR RESORT. For T!

ELOCUTION. , 'V-y '&r$l , V Hi Down BATHTUB TROUBLES WORRY DEPARTMEN F Pensioners in Police and Fire Departments to Receive Only Portion of Their Money. Delay on the part of Congress In act ing on tha bill providing for a police and firemen's relief fund again has re sulted In a deficiency In the fund. The District's servltore who are In capacitated by reason of illness or Injury received In the line of duty, and the; wldowc and orphans of the men who have" met death while In the service, will receive Friday for the month of January.-63 per cent of the amount due them by the District gov ernment. The sum owed pensioners of the Police Department Is 17,611. They will receive K03J.S3. The pension rolls of the Fire Department call for a dis bursement of $3,744.60. The pensioners will be paid f2.000.4S.. Again, and again the Commissioner have asxed the attention of Congress to tho necessity, for legislation placing the police and firemen's pension fund upon a, fixed and permanent financial basis. In addition to 'the amount owed them for the month of January, the "District is Indebted to its pensioners in. the sum of S35.00L37. Efforts In Vain. The efforts of the Commissioners, aid ed by the Board of Trade and other civic organisations have been without avail "and the District finds itself in a situation "exactly similar to the one two years ago. During tho last fiscal year,, from the months of January' to May, there was a deficiency in the payment of police and firemen's pensions amounting to $19,436.07. During the fiscal year 1911. there occurred also a deficiency amount ing to 115,666.30. It U the opinion of Alonzo Tweedale, Auditor of the Dis trict, that unless remedial legislation la enacted, the, deficiency for this yar will be greater than tha; of last. , 'There la" no prospect "Whatever of the payment of this, deficiency In the absence ot an appropriation by Con gress ot atatutory' provision authorlx Ing her sources of income," said the Auditor. "It Is a matter of knowledge tn thla offlcfl that there are a number of pensioners," including women and children "Who are entirely, aepenaeni upon payments made them by the Dis trict, government, for their support and a very great hardship is imposed each month the District falls to discharge its contracture! obligations. "Earnest efforts, have been, made to obtain the enactment of the bill now .before Congress providing new sources of revenue for the- payment of- the pen sions. "The addlt'onal funds carried by the bill would place the fund upon a stable basis for years to come."
