of Pittsburgs civic unrighteousness indictments against
31 present and past councilmen and a demand upon the direc
tors of the city depositories to investigate their own boards and
ascertain the bribegivers in connection with the ordinance des
ignating their institutions as city depositories were the fea
tures of the two presentments made by the grand jury today
The presentments made a sensational story of the inside
history of corruption in the municipal bodies in 1908 and the
demand on the banks indicated that even more sensational de

the bank directors complying with demands of the grand jury
uiiake their report

z jof the jury was the order of City Con
troller Morrow late today for th with
drawal of all city funds from the six
banks and the practical nullification of
the ordinance designating them custo
S dians of city funds
About 3640320 of city funds is in
these banks and this would be in
creased many millions next week by
taxes now being paid According to the
controller the withdrawal of the funds
will be gradual that the Institutions
may suffer no embarrassment and de
positors be given no cause for alarm
Banks Must Clean House

calling on the bank directors reads
4 We call upon the directors of the six

The case Is set for hearing In the su

Mr Ellis has been especially retained In
the case which Involves the commissions

NO MUZZLE ON HEYBURN
Idaho Senator Continues to Run
Amuck Whenever the Oppor
tunity Is Offered
Washington March 25 Senators
Warren and Heyburn clashed in the
Senate today over an effort on the part
of the former to obtain the passage
of a bill authorizing the sale of sur
plus waters under irrigation reclama
tion projects The Idaho senator ob
jected to the enactment of such a law
as contrary to the constitution and
laws of his state
Mr Heyburn took the floor with the
avowed purpose of talking on the bill
until some other measure should natur
ally com up under the rules of the
Senate After he had spoken for an
hour or more Mr Warren who sat
near him made a remark soto voice to
the effect that the Idaho senators
speech was mere drivel
The remark aroused Mr Heyburns
resentment He declared he would not
tolerate such a statement even though
not publicly made He found in it a
desire to dictate his course
The time is coming he shouted
when this sort of thing must cease
The assumption that because one man
has been here longer than another he
can direct the course of the other Is
intolerable
Another recruit to the ranks of the
Insurgents remarked some senator on
the Democratic side but Mr Heyburn
continued his speech without replying
He saw In the bill an effort to place
all irrigation projects under govern
meit control
Senator Borah favored the bill and
debated much with his colleague while
the bill was under consideration

I
Washington March 25 Former Gover
nor Hoggatt of Alaska and Delegate
Wickersham of that territory continued
the verbal assaults on each other before
the House committee on territories to
day over the question of what form of
government Congress should give Alaska
Delegate Wickersham questioned Mr
Hoggatt in an effort to show that the
latter was friendly to the officers of
the GuggenholmMorgan syndicate in
Alaska
Youve been logrolling down here in
Washington for three winters fighting
the work of the delegate from Alaska
havent you demanded Mr Wickersham
of the former governor
No Mr Hoggatt replied I was op
posed to the territorial form of govern
ment then and am now
You voted for my opponent Corson
although you didnt agree with his views
continued Mr Wickersham
Yes was the answer I wanted to
get a man down here to stop this bush
whacking indulged In by you and some
other people I would have voted for
a yellow dog to bring that about
Mr Wickersham asked Mr Hoggatt
many questions about the ownership of
railroad and steameshlp lines In Alaska
by tho Alaskan syndicate but without
eliciting much information lIe pointed
out that the passenger rates on the Cop
per river and Northwestern river was 15
cents a mile and that the freight rate
was 100 a ton
If these are the rates said Mr Hog
gatt It Is up to the secretary of the
Interior who approves tho rates
Mr Wickersham and Mr Hoggatt were
both in bad temper when the hearing
ended the former declaring he would
show up the former governor at the
next meeting of the committee which
will be within a week or so
