GAIUNGER'S

Civil Service Officials
Hearing Testimony.
Chandler May be Back
of the Move.
Senator Gailinger Accused of
Illegal Assessments,
While
He Was State Chairman
New Hampshire.
of
Cokcokd, N. EL, July 12. Repre
sentatives of the United States civil
service bureau began a secret sitting
here for the purpose of investigating
charges preferred against Senator Jacob
H. Galhnger of Concord by former Re
publican Governor Charles A. Bnsiel of
Laconia, alleging violations of tho civil
service laws during the List campaign
in this state. The specific charge is that
Senator Gailinger, as chairman of the
Republican state committee, distriDuted
circulars appealing to Republican office
holders for contributions to the cam
paign fund.
Civil Service Commissioners J. B.
Harlow and Mark S. Brewer are in
charge of the investigation.
This investigation is held to allow
the commisaioners to examine the evi
dence and to decide if it warrants the
further prosecution of the case. If
they decide it does the United States
authorities of the department of jus
tice will be called in.
It was announced by the commis
sioners that Mr. Busiel detailed the cir
cumstances attending his making com
plaint to the civil service commission
last October, and the correspondence
between him and the commission.
Senator Galhnger asked the commis
sion if he was to understand that the
real complainant was ex-Governor
Busiel or Senator Chandler and was
told, ho might draw his own conclusions.
Governor Busiel read a long state
ment as to his reasons for action in the
matter, saying that he was animated
byardc&iro to ioo tho oivil -eorvic lttvrs,-"
in which he behoved, enforced. He
considered that the lavish use of money
in elections was a menace to our na
tional institutions. He was not actu
ated by any unfriendly feeling toward
Senator Gailinger in prosecuting these
charges, and he had no desire lor "re
venge." Tlio principal feature of the session
was a long statement by Senator Chand
ler, previous to which, however, Colonel
Rufus K. Elwell, collector of customs
at .Portsmouth, stated that he had re
ceived a circular letter from William F.
Thayer, treasurer of the Republican
state committee, asking for a contribu
tion to carry ou the committee's work.
Ossian D. Knox, postmaster of Man
chester, also testified, but ho said that
he saw no such circular, and, further
more, had not been asked to contribute
to the i8'J8 campaign.
Senator Chandler then came forward
with his statement, which he prefaced
by a short history of his connection
with political committees. He baid he
retired ironi the "Republican national
committee in 1884 and from the state
committee in 1SD0.
Senator Chandler continued in part:
"I said to Senator Gailinger in 1890 and
again in 1S96 that he ought to leavo the
state committee for reasons connected
with the civil service low, but he would
not go. In 1898, muc2 to my surprise,
he took the chainnauship ot tlie state
committee. After I had recovered from
my surprise I went to him to endeavor
to co operate m the work of the cam
paign. Wo talked over the means of
raising money, both agreciug that very
littlo would be needed. We spoke of
individuals,of nominees for state offices,
but nothing was said of federal office
holders. Tnis was on Oct. 10. Between
that time and Oct. 17 1 heard that an as
sessment circular had been sent to fed
eral officeholders. Governor Busiel
asked ii,e :f I knew of tnis assessment.
"H. s dm had reasan to believe that
a circular iur assessment had been sent
to officeholders, and he produced a cir
cular Mhich had been sent to state offi
cers, and said that some of them had
"been sent to federal officeholders. We
had a long conference, the result of
wnich was that he said ho would com
plain to tho civil servico commission
unless some other way could be found
to prevent these officers from being as
sessed. Ac oid njly Goto nor Busiel,
with my Knowledge, asked the commis
sion about the terms of tho law. He
came to me later and said that ho had
determined to niako a complaint. In
this I concurred.
"I called on commission when I went
to Washington last fall and told them
that I would bo at their service.
"If I find that tho federal officehold
ers who have been requested by tho
committee to appear here do not come,
or if they eouio and do not testify, I
shall tell the commission all I know
about the matter."
At tho conclusion of Senator Chand
ler's statement ho exchanged some warm
words with Senator Gallinsrer on his
(Senator Chandler's) contribution to
tho party funds in 1894 and 189G.
James O. Lyford, naval officer at tho
port of Boston, was the last witness,
and testified to receiving the circular
from Treasurer Thayer. He also stated
that the assessment circular was sent to
federal officeholders in 1896.
Death the Penalty For Ills Crime.

a middle-aged colored man, was hanged

Idea When Phillion Made
Known His Act.
Interesting Information Relative to
Well Known Akron Artist.
Achille Phillion, the daring
French-Canadian, -who does the mar
velous spiral tower act at the fair,
made a pleasant call this morning,
says the Springfield Democrat.
Phillion, who now makes his home
at Akron, O., stated that he was born
in Montreal, Canada; and began
practicing the feat that has made
him famous in 1869. He, however,
never" gave anfblRr"e.liIb"itioh until
July 4, 1S90, and then at Rockaway
beach, New York. He tried to give
the act in 1876 at the Philadelphia
centennial exhibition, but could find
no one that would give him any en
couragement. Even the great Imre
Kiralfy,whom he approached,hooted
at the idea and turned him down.
Finally he went to work on his
own hook and had the tower and ca
ble constructed at an expense of
$2,000.
The ball he rides, or rather treads,
weighs 55 pounds. It is made of
wood, two inches thick, is hollow
and is covered with canvas. In go
ing up the spiral he travels 160 feet,
and in crossing the cable he goes 60
feet further.
"I have," said Phillion, "had sev
seral bad falls: have had my arms
badly wrenched, but have
never yet had a bone broken.
The worbt fall I ever had
was received in Denver and was
due to a strong gust of wind that
lifted the ball right off the cable. The
wind was so strong that it carried
the ball about 60 feet away. "When
within about five feet of the ground
I caught an iron rod, and. as a re
sult, received a terrible wrenching of
one arm."
