now serving sentences tn the West
ern penitentiary.
The present graft probe was pre
cipitated by "Johnnie" Klein, whose
confession "knocked out the props
and let the sky fall." Klein acted
as the "distributor" among the conn
cllmen, and to Detective Robert Wil
son and his associates, who were
brought here by private parties to
uncover graft, the "little captain'

former councllmen who had received

ditional facts which he will use as
evidence In the coming trials.
The sentencing of E. H. Jennings,
president of the Columbia National
bank, and F. A. Griffin, cashier ot
the same Institution, were postponed
In order that tho men could secure

now might result fatally.

DMEI WANTED
TWO THUDS BODE
New Facts ascertained in Trans
action for Which Councilmen
, are to be Investigated.
FIRST OFFERED $1,000
But as Messrs. Pollock and Wise
Would Not Do Everything
Derived onv $500 Accepted.
On the eve of the Pollock-Wise In
vestigation by a special committee ap
pointed from the Common Council, the
^Inquiry beginning Monday night, it
became known that the original fee
ottered by the dairymen for the ser
. vices of tne two councilman waa *1,000,
while the dairymen had requested that
two distinct things bfe done.
First, Messrs. Pollock and Wise were
to procure from Dr. K. t’. Levy, chief
i health oBeeet of thr city, an Inde
pendent ruling which would place a
, mure generous construction upon the
ordinance prohibiting the feeding of
distillery waste.
Councilmen Pollock and Wise were
' then to nttempt to have the ordinance
in question so amended that there
could be no pososible legal objection to
the feedln gof tills mush when in the
proper condition.
These Taels Were ascertained from
Mr. Wise, who then pointed out that
in appearing before the health otiiccr
on behalf of the dairymen he did not
request that tile oruiuance be sus
pended. 1'ui merely that a broader
1 interpretation be placed upon the pro
hibition clause, go thut the "mash"
which the resolution was dlreieted
against would he removed and sep
arated from "swill," which would sill!
remain prohibited, while the mash,
wiieu ted it, me proper uu<| wholesome
i condition, would be sanctioned.
. "We told the dairymen, however,"
said Mr. Wise, "that under no cir
mustanccs would we take any action
toward procuring a new ordinance.
Uo were niumg to present the claims
of our clients ueiore Dr. Levy, but, of
course, as both Mr. Pollock and 1 were
I memoers of tho Council we could take
i ho part in drafting arid having passed
; an ordinance for which we w ere to
l be paid.
"tioth of us were explicit in this, and
in orutr that there could be no possi
ble grounds for misunderstanding or
suspicion of misconduct, weetoeu ihai
WH would not accept the gt.ouu, hut
would take only one-half of it.
"As far as our work before Dr.
I-evy is concerned there is no secret.
Ae asked him if the mash. If teu
t in good condition, were not goou
food for the cows. He said that It
was.
"We then showed that the ordi
nance prohibition wus narrow and too
stringent. We showed that tt pro
hibited the feeding of all kinds of
mash, whereas It should have pro
hibited only swill. We attempted to
show him that the ordinance should
allow for the difference between fresh
...sh and ordtnary, harmful swill.
"Dr. Levy agreed witn us that the
distinction should be made. He had
charge of the Inspection and decided
thut the ordinance should be inter
preted lij a broader, more intelligent
light. This was done; that Is the
whole story."
Defend TiieniselvcH.
It was alto learned that, although
they realixe the gravity of the charge*
which have been made against their
official records, neither of the ac
cused councilmen will retain council.
They declare that they will defend
themselves, and that counsel will
probably be unnecessary, unless the
Inquiry become tedious and compli
cated, Both Mr, Pollock and Mr.
Wise declare that they have nothing
to conceal. If any one wishes to And
out anything they will tell them.
They are prepared to answer all
questions, and demand un Inquiry
into the allegations.
Among ot/.er papers which will be
introduced Is a heavy batch of affi
davits which Mr. Wise has received
living the signed statement of nearly
every one connected with the origi
nal transaction to the effect that no
money was accepted for service ren
dered in any other than for strictly
legal matters; that the two attorneys
had represented the dairymen as at
torneys only, and had refused to take
part in the preparation or passage
of any proposed ordinance affecting
the dairy interests.
URGE CROWD COES
ON ANNUAL TRIP
Excursion of A. P. V. A. to James
town Carries Ooodly Com
pany as Usual.
The Pocahontas, with B large
crowd aboard ot the mem bora of
’ the Association for the Prelervation
of Virginia Antiquities and their
frlende. left the Old Dominion wharf
promptly at s o'clock Saturday morn
ing. It has been the custom for sev
eral years past of the A. P. V. A.
to make an annual pilgrimage to
Jamestown on May IS, These loyal
snd patriotic women turn to James
town with a love and reverence for
ltd traditions and historical lore and
remains as the Mohammedans an
nually journey to their sacred etty
Mecca,
Wlille from historical accuracy and
established custom this pilgrimage
should be made on May IS, the dou
bled foreboding of disaster in the
combination of Friday and the lath
proved too great a menace, so It was
postponed to the fourteenth, when It
was hoped that the fates would be
more Indulgent, The Pocahontas left
under most auspicious weather con
ditions. with the exception of a cod
wind, which, to the optimistic and
economical mind, may be only a
blessing in disguise, as it but served to
whet the appetite for the delicious
lunch that was served on board by
Miss Hetty Ellison and her assist
ants.
The crowd was largo and congen
ial, there being a number of charm
ing little parties. Among those who

Murderer.
KANSAS CITY, MO.. May 14.—With
the Jury In the case of Dr. B. C. Hyde,
accused of the murder of millionaire
Thomas H. Swope, apparently dead-,
locked. It was not believed this after
noon that an early verdict would be
returned. Judge Lgtshaw said he
would hold the jury out until Tuesday

The usual crop of rumors regarding
the lury # standing were circulated,
the one receiving the most credence
being that the line-up was ten for ac
quittal to two for conviction.
QUIT RESCUE WORK
NEAR RIOT RESULT
WHITE HAVEN, ENGLAND. May
14.—A storm of protest was raised
to-day alien the town authorities an
nounced. on the suggeetlon of Lord
Lonsdale, owner of the coal mine tit
which 187 men were entombed Thurs
day by an explosion, that no furthse
effort would fee made to rescue the
victims.
Lord Lonsdale arrived here to-day
and immediately entered the mine at
great personal risk. When- he saw
that-the rescuers had beea able ts
proceed 800 yards in the burning mins,
he declared that the plan to reaoh
the entombed men by means of a bore
would Inevitably cost the Uvea of the
rescuing party. The plan was accord- _
lngly abandoned ana the work of
brlrklng up the opening to the mins
to smother the flames was resumed.
The famines of the mtne victims
were so enraged at this decision that
the police had difficulty 1b preventing
them selling the shaft house.
