A sound as If a trombone were being

through the lioUow places under Madison

rtttaburg. March 20— This was perhaps
the most uneasy Sunday ever spent by
Pittsburg «-ouncilm«n. At least sixty coun

by a representative from the District At
torney's office and told to 1* ready to
rome Into court on Tuesday and volun
tarily confess their part In «ouncllmanic
grafting of years past. If this U done
the District Attorney promises that they
111 all have immunity from arrest. Those
who do not com* will be placed und^r ar
rest, he »ay*. and sent a* far as the law
can push them.
Councilman Klein spent to-day under
lock and key at the Fort Pitt Hotel He
mill be rushed Into court to-morrow morn-
Ing, where he will appear before a Judge
and repeat his confessions. lie will then
be hurried to Riverside penitentiary, where
his sentence of three and one-half year:
will be begun Anonymous* letters re
ceived at the hotel for Klein were of a
nature to cauae his guards to telephone
for the police. The former councilman
leader was threatened with all manner of
violence, even death Itself, if caught m
the street.
Klein has made the sensational statement
that, when Councilman William Martin
was caught and convicted of grafting and
«as sent to Riverside Penitentiary, he.
Klein, personally took up a collection for
M irtin and his family and that $30.Uj0 wa.<
raised. When Klein, it la said, tried to get
part of the tame councilman* crowd to
guarantee. hi. wife and babies |»»' a month
while he went to pri?jn. hi:, reiuest T.-as
refused, and in his anger he made the ton
fi-RKlona.
K!eln. in uncovering MM of the larger
disbursements among Councilmen, tells of
the cash being delivered to him at the Im
perial Hotel. New York. where he was
called to get It. It is said the name of th,
Hitt.«burger who delivered this money to
Klein In the Imperial will, when disclosed.
prove the sensation of the entire Council
man's graft expose. In the mean time there
are some who appear to have taken no
chances in the most recent graft exposure.
Ten Councilmen are reported missing. At
least, the District Attorney's messengers
could not find them. mid they have not
(**>& seen nine* yesterday, when the graft
exposure became public.
Klein's assertions In his confession as
th*y have come to light are said to be
tnojit startling. He -kept books" on all
money paid out by him to other council
men i»n the bank depository ordinances.
Each tr.an'k tMM was carefully listed, to
gether with the amount paid the date of
payment, and how and whero it was MM
To some councilrnen Klein sent the money
in registered letter*. The receipts for
thei»e letter*, bearing the recipients' sig
natures, were preserved carefully by Klein.
All of there Klein has turned over m the
District Attorney. In addition, he turned
over a list of the common councilmen to
whom It is i>ald money was paid. This list
is In the handwriting of another council
man, and was mode up for Klein as a
guide to those to "be seen."
During his trial and previously Klein had
persisted In the statement under examina
tion that he knew nothing of any bribery.
It was then believed that he was protect
ing some one. and he stuck to this position
until almost at the threshold of the state
prison.
It is recognized that Klein. In substantiat
ing his confession before the grand jury
and in court, must necessarily admit that
he committed perjury, but it ib broadly
hinted by the County Prosecutor*; office that
Klein »ill of doalt with leniently, and pos
■■Ml »il- not *erve a day in prison.
It was through Klein that the whole
structure, <>t the bribery scandal ha Ixea
tumbles, and Is a fulfilment of a threat
made during the first of the prosecutions
that "Klein could kick the props out an-»
let the fcky fall."

was regarded as a Hcrl; «>f ability and In

"The commundant of the proving ground*
called me on the telephone Saturday night."
added Mr. Hart«>orn. "to say that he had a
report that Harris was under arrest in N>-v
York. Xeither of us could believe It. W*
were both confident that somebody fl.se had
given his name until we nceived a descrip

"My only explanation of the trouble he la
In is that a mania for automobiles has ;
seized him, and. If he Is guilty as chargcl. |
t*iat he adopted crooked means to get
money to permit him la gratify a morbid !
desire to own them. So far M his friend*
knew, he never left Atlantic Highlands ex
cept on short automobile tours*, and I can
not believe that h«* Is the m:in who has

Detective Boyle, who ma<le the arrtst,
said Harris mat!e a payment of $100 to the

of John .M. Wilson. On Saturday he ap

"My Dear, How Well
You Are Looking"
"Is it baths or massage, or just the latest dressmaker?"
"Dear, dear, no' I've gone much deeper than that. lam now
a Corset Philosopher — further than that, I am at the missionary
stage of my philosophy and want to tell the world ai! about 't."
"This is interesting- do tell me."
"Well, you see. tor many years I've been under the impression
that it was the nice thing to do to go to a corsetiere. I started
with a nice little obscure person who made me— oh, .such a lovely
corset. It was eharmantt', rnvissante — everything French ad
jective-y. When I went back to the same person in tour months
she had become haughtier — gotten more putronaes—and I paid
her a few dollars more than the first time. In the last five years
I've kept on paying her a little more each visit.
"But that wasn't all! While she kept adding dollars, I kept
adding flesh. Until at last 1 had — the figure you last saw me with."
(Discreetly). "You weren't exactly svelte. "
"I should say not. I thought over it a whole lot. and at last I
decided what was the trouble.'*
(Eagerly). "Yes?"
"It was this, my dear. .411 these year;* my corsetiere
had been making a corset to fit me. Instead of moulding
me to the lines of the corset, she moulded the corset to
my lines.
"These were bad — consequently the result was bad. Now
what do you suppose 1 wear?
"A Paris Lillian from the Wanamaker Corset Salons Only $15
if you please, and the price of it gets no higher. It is made of
fine French coutil and is reinforced below the waist line Conse
quently it holds in my figure — doesn't just indulge it."
"My dear. I could have told you that long ago it you had asked
me. I have worn one for years.'* Third floor Old luildini.
