EVERY DAY IS A “SALE DAY" AT SCOFIELD'S JACK POT SCHEME ALLEGED . po ‘Coupinq Aimed at Corruption, 4 Says Governor Deneen. FORESEES FURTHER SENSATIONS ' Executive Says Taint of Guilt Wil Bo Traced fo Those Who Gave x and Those Who Re- ’}\ celved, SPRINGFIELD, Tll, June 3.—That grand Jury questioning regarding the ‘fish bill which falled to. pass the forty-sixth gen- eral assembly will be productive of more results than have developed since the leg- islative inquiry began is the expectation of State's Attorney Burke of Sangamon county, i Information glven the prosecutor today, he sald, has supplemented fragments | known by him and has completed a chain of evidence from men who pald sums of money to defeat the bill, to the man who collscted the amounts and up to the leg- ‘ islator who is charged- with having. “held out” the sum given him instead of having passed it along to the “fack pot.” State's Attorney Burke sald he ‘has the name of a certain fish dealer who s alleged to have waid In the presence of wWitnesses that he gave $500 to the fund to kill the bill, paming the man to whom he pald it. That man s to be subpoenaed. After conferring with Governor Deneen in the executive office, State's Attorney Burke announced that the governor would not be subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury nor would he be asked to go before the jurors informaily. Governor Denecen’s Statement. The following statemen: was issued by Governor Deneen tonight relative to State's Attorney Burke's visit: State's Attorney Burke called on Governor Deneen' at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Burke discussed Wwith tie governor the cases of legislative corruption which are be- ing investigated by the Sangamon county grand jury. The governor informed him ! that the various commissions and depart- ! ments connected with the executive branch of the state government would cheerfully furnish him any information in their power | which cauld be of service to him in the in- vestigation, After the interview Governor Deneen sald: “It is manifest from the information which has been published that legislative corrup- " tion has not been confined to the members who have so far confessed their connection with it. The very existence of the so-called ‘Jack-pot’ presupposes an organization suf- ficently strong numerically to control the course of legislation and to collect and dls- tribute & common corruption fund to con- trol it ‘“There mre 168 members in the house/and fifty-one in the semate, and It is apparent that a very extensive organisation would be necessary successfully to carry'dmt such ' & conspiracy against the public jmterests has been shown to exist by the confes- sions already made. The character of this organization and of its leadership is indi- cated by the fact that those who confessed were mot sure as to the specific bills for which they received bribes. The investiga- , tion therefore must go. back of these men to the men who trafficked in legislation and knew the particular measur: for which the bribes were furnished and the sources from which the bribe money was derived. Trael ““The taint of gullt should be traced from the members who received the bribes to the persons or corporations who gave them. The whole nefarious plot should be exposed and all connected with It prosecuted and all who are lnnocent relieved of the burden of unjust suspidion.

Illinois Mine 4 Workers Grab the Last Straw| All Men Are Ordered to Quit on Twelve Hours’ Notice Unless Scale is Sigmed. | SPRINGFIELD, IIl, June, 3.-Drastic methods have been taken by the Iilinols Mine Workers in an effort to force set- tlement v/ith operators. Letters were sent | out from the state offices in Springfield today, to all unions where operators have talled to sign the scale, The letter calls for immediaté notification of the operators that all engineers, fire- men, pumpmen, mule feeders will leave thelr worlk within twelve hours after the receipt of the notification unless the wage scale is signed. This would mean heavy losses to the operators, who clalm mines would be flooded and mules starved. The letter contends the operators h been given eleven days In which to sign the scale after joint negotations were broken off at the Peorla meeting. The cleven days Is considered sufficlent time by the miners for the operators to reach an agreement, and fallure to sign is taken as an indication they intend to fight. The Butson Coal company of D employing 2,00 men, signed the .&. day. This is the mine owned by th Steel company. The scale also was signed by the Litchfield Coal company. Opera- tors in the fifth and ninth districts have signed the scale and 20,000 of the 72,00 strikers in the state have returned to their work. Seventy-six mines have resumed operations in the fifth and ninth districts and 100 in this state, DAVID CITY MAN WORKS UPON AEROPLANE OF OWN Expects to Startle Natives of Butler County About July Fourth, DAVID CITY, Neb.,, June 3.—(Special.)— Willam Canham of this place is working on an aeroplane which he belleves to be superior to any yet invented.

LAND GRAFTERS SUSPECTED Forgery in Securing Deeds to Sem. inole i n Lands Alleged in Reports to Washin WASHINGTON, June 3.—*“Land grafters" are sald to be industriously operating in Seminole county, Okla., accopding to re- ports quoted in a letter submitted to the house by Secretary Ballinger today. Secretary Ballinger calls upon congress for an appropriation of 36000 from the Seminole funds to defray the cost of gov- ernment suits to set aside lllegal convey- ances and protect the possessions of the Seminoles.

The acceptance of that provision had the effect of inclining some democratic sena- causing the democratic side of the cham- ber to request an opportunity for consul- tation before reaching the voting stage on final passage. Accordingly the vote was postponed to permit a democratic confer- ence, which will be held at 11 o'clock tomorrow. After this agreement was reached Sen- ator Elkins and Senator Hale made an effort to get the senate to agree to vote on the bill before adjournment tomorrow, but without success. Senators Bacon and Balley made objection to a proposition cutting off debate in advance of the final vote, and when It appeared as if they might be conciliated, Senator Clapp en- tered objection to any arrangement what- ever. The Minmesota senator stated that he preferred to have consideration of the bill proceeding the natural way and the vote taken when all amendments had been presented and debate concluded. Elkins Wants Substitute, The bill was before the senate the entire day, but the proceedings were in the line of action rather than that of discussion. A large number of amendments were presented and disposed of. Just before adjournment for the day Senator ikins ave notice that at the proper time he would ask the senate to substitute the senate bill for the house bill, He succeeded In having adopted an amendment postponing for sixty days after its paseage the time when the proposed, lasv shall go Into effect. The only objection ex- pressed to the amendment was that its op- eration would moj be limited to railroads, but there was a considerable vote against it, the ballot resulting 33 ayes to 28 nay The provision heretofore adopted, placing Interstate telegraph and telephone lines un- der the control of the Interstate Commerce commission, was enlarged, In compliance with & suggestion by Senator La Follette, who presented the original amendment. As it now stands it provides that telegraph and telephone charges shall be just and reason- able and authorizes the commission to de- termine when they are not so. Speclal night rates and speclal rates on press dispatches are authorized. Telegraph passes are pro- hibited to all persons. The penalty for dls- obeying this provision is fixed at from $100 to $2,000. Senator Hughes of.Colorado was among those who had an amendment accepted. This provision gives the shipper the right to choose a line competing with a part of the through route by which his shipments was billed. It exempts the original carrier from all responsibility for damage sustained on other than its own lines, Mr. Simmons sought, though ineffectu- ally, to have his physical valuation provi fon inserted. It was voted down, 30 to 2. Senator La Follette succeeded with two or three amendments, but failed in an effort to obtain for shippers the right to bring suit in the proposed «court of commerce when there is & prospect that irreparable damage may be done by increased rates, pending the delay necessary to an investi- ation by the Interstate Commerce commis- Nebraska Clothing Co. announces something radically new for men next Saturday—a man can buy = box of six collars for 8 cents, guaranteed| four-ply and sold by most Omaha stores dian lands is now the rule instead of the exception;’ but specific cases submitted to the Seminole grand jury at & recent ses- slon were ignored.* at two for & guarter.

Governor Tells Teachers About State’s Wealth lli.ecently, for First Time, Treasures Had Hundred Thousand and No Place to Invest It, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 3.—(Speclal)—Governor Shallenberger addressed the State Teach- ers' institute this morning, giving his en- dorsement to any movement which tends to the education of the people and to the up- building of Nebraska schools. The governor pald many compliments to the great work of the educators and repeated that when it comes to cutting down appropriations, the last item to recelve the knife will be the school appropriations. The governor sald he had been informed that Nebraska spends some $15,000,000 every blennium on its schools and it was his opinion that every dollar of the money spent in this work is money well spént. He belleved also that the state could afford to spend that sum for he had recelved from the treasurer of the state some time ago & notice that he had on hand $100,000 and no place to invest. This was the first time any state treasurer of Nebraska had ever served such & notice, which is required by law when the general fund reaches that amount with no place to put the money. The law requires that the governor shall be notitied of this condition after which he and the treasurer and auditor shall invest the money in government bonds at 4 per cent. The law is an old one, but thers has never been occasion to use It untll re- cently, because of a lack of funds. Treasurer Brian found a place for the money, however, 50 it was not necessary to hold the meeting. Police Now Look For Brother Mike Man Who Accused Relative Crime Must Face Charge Himself, of DEADWOOD, 8. D., June 3.—Charged with the same murder of thirty years ago, near Toledo, O., of which he accused his halt-brother and caused him to be taken east for trial, Mike Schamberger is now be- ing sought by the Meade county officers, who want to take him to Toledo to answer for the crime. Last winter Schamberger, in an~alleged confession, declared that his halt-brother, Joseph Miller of Spearfisn, had committed the murder and kept him quiet all these years with bribes. Miller was taken east and the grand jury falled to indict him. Now the Informer, if he can be caught, will face the Toledo authorities on the same charge. MONITOR COMING UP.

Attorney General Wickersham declines to indicate what course he will pursue in be- half of the government, and the senate, just on the verge today of passing the ad- ministration bill, hesitated, and fhally postponied action until tomorrow. Tonight practically every rallroad sys- tem from the Atlantic to the Pacific has filed with the Interstate Commerce com- mission the legal notification of proposed increases in commodity rates. The In- creases range from three to thirty-one per cent, The day started off by the filing of schedules of Increases by the New York Central, the West Shore and the Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western, Then the official proposal of the roads travers- Ing the territory from Chicago and Mil- waukee to Indlanapolis and Ohlo river points, twenty-three in'all, was brought in to the commission. During the afternoon increased tariffs from the Atlantic sea- | board to Chicago, St. Paul and interme- | diate points were fixed. Tariffs EKast Revised. 1 “The Baitimore and Ohlo filed with the commission & revised tarlff on commodl- ties rate from Chicago to the eastern | seaboard. Like the rest, schedules filed | by the roads west of the Mississippi in- creased tariffs from the central freight assoclation territory were filed in concert. | On the other hand, the eastern raliroads filed thelr revised tariffs individually. The increases proposed by the roads In | the east and middle west range from 6 to 31 per cent. Those from the seaboard to the west vary from 3 to 20 per sent. The Baltimore and Ohlo Increase on rates from Chicago to the seaboard averages about 10 per cent. The time set for the increase to go Into effect on the eastern roads was generally July 6. Of the roads in the middle west, July 1 was the date fixed. Befors the revised tariffs began to pour into the offices of the commission, Attorney Gen- eral Wickersham was receiving telegrams from western shippers, asking him to take action to have the injunction issued by the federal court in Missourl extended to other commodities, especially wood. Replies were made that it is now too late. It was explained that the govern- ment Included in the bill such rates as had been called to its attentiop and that the failure of other rates to be included must be laid at the door of the shippers. Course of Action. As to tbe course of the government in regard to the railroads in the east and mid- dle west, the attorney general was not to talk. Immediate action is not ry, inasmuch as the rates are not to go Into effect for about a month. Mr, Wickersham said that no_complaints had as yet been received by him from ship- pers in the east or middle west. Further- more, he pointed out that conditions under which the roads in the east and middle west had filed their rates might be entirely different from those governing the action of the Western Traffic assockation.
