(Special from United Press.)
New York. April 2. Further revela
tions as to the operations of the lobby!
maintained at Albany and at the Na
tional capital by the fire insurance
companies, which ' expended Immense
sums In promoting favorable legisla
tion and killing unfavorable legisla
tion, are expected when the Investiga
tion being conducted by State Super
intendent of Insurance Hotchkiss Is
resumed Monday. r '
Hotchkiss has a vast -amount of in- J
formation In his office regarding' this
lobby and Its activities, and he is pre- j
paring to lay It bare.
Despite the!
statements that this investigation
stumbling along In the dark, hoping to
pick up information as it goes, the re
verse Is true. The State Insurance de
partment has been working on this
matter for six months and in that time
has unearthed a mass- of documentary
evidence. For 20 years the affairs of
tne noemx j? ire insurance tamcaay
of Brooklyn, of which the late George
P. Sheldon was president, were not ex
amined. In all this time Sheldon was
acting as distributor and collector , of
the money spent by the tire companies
a Albany. When finally Hotchkiss
and bis deputies examined the office
there-were found in Sheldon's desk in
criminating papers, disclosing his con
nection with the lobby.
From these papers Hotchkiss follow
ed the clue, sending examiners into
every nre insurance office in Nw
York, to follow the lobby fund. - The
, result was a great volume of evidence
. nd for several months Hotchkiss and
hie associates have been piecing it to
gether in the tangible form shown in
the present public hearing.
. Hotchkiss last night received frrm
Justice E. E. McCall. of the Supreme
Court, a long statement as to his col
lection with the loans made by tie
Phoenix to Lobbyist William H. Buct
Jfey. This statement showed that Mi-
Can, then a practicing attorney, hnd
acted merely as a friend of Buckl ?y
End without having any personal defi
ings with the insurance company. Af
ter reading the statement Hotchki.?s
. issued a statement mmseir m whutn
he completely exonerated Justice MTs
Call, saying his actions were only
those or one i-nenq. toward another.

tion of bucket shops in the District of
Columbia were t,oday returned by the
Grand Jury here. As an excuse the
parties indicted claimed to do business

Harry Johnson was a telegrapher in

"This firm as well as the firms in
volved in - the other two indictments
allege that they buy and sell securities
through the Consolidated Exchange. of
Philadelphia, arid Ford and- Parrish
are their representatives on this ex
change. This. : . evidence before the
Grand Jury tended to show , that thi3
exchange was simply a cover main
tained to enable operators of bucket
shops to conceal the real nature of
their operations.

BLOODHOUNDS
ON TRAIL OF
DOWJLAYER
(Special from United Press.)
Springfield. . Mass., April 2. Two
bloodhounds, the famous Mose and
King Ky, from Cleaveland Kennels,
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., arrived here this
morning at 3:20 and at once took up
the " scent at the Round Hill home of
the Dows. of the man who murdered
Miss : Martha Blackstone. and possibly
fatally shot Miss Harriet Dow , Thurs
day night. The hounds, even after 36
hours later than the deeds were done,

Dreais trom tne nouse on itouna J3.ui

the city.
The hounds followed the scent across
the c-ity limits Into the town of Long
meadow on - the road to Hartford. The
trail then led to a white trolley pole.
where the cars make a stop. From
this point the bounds went straight to
the tracks where they lost the scent.
It Is evident that the murderer board
ed a, trolley car at that point, either
going to Hartford or doubling his
tracks and returning to Springfield!.
Tne master of hounds was greatly aid-
ed in his work by the fact that the
murderer dropped his hat and a hand
kerchief on the grounds of the house
where the murder was committed.
In order to make sure that the
hounds had followed the right track
they were at 10:30 o'clock put on the
scent at the scene of the murder.
They went over exactly the same
route as at first.
- The hounds are now being . taken
along the car tracks to see if the fugi
tive got off the car between here and
Longmeadow. If not they will be
taken over the route between , Long
meadow and Hartford
