with a conflict of testimony. ,
County Judge Vlnsonhaler asserts posi
tively that he was approached "by a man
whom I understand Is employed In the
court house" and asked to contribute to
a fund to be used to got the extension of
office bill out of the committee of the
senate which had it in charge.
While the Judge did not name the man
who had approached him, the Inference was
left that the person alluded to was James
H. Wlnspear, employed In the office of
County Treasury Fink. Mr. Wlnspear
admits talking with Vlnsonhaler, but em
phatically denies the Implication put upon
his words by Judge Vlnsonhaler. The
statements of the two men are given in
their own words.
Vlasoahaler's Statement,
In answer to questions yesterday,
Judge Vlnsonhaler said: "On Friday, March
17, I was called from my private office. In
which a World-Herald reporter was stand
ing St the time, into the court room ad
joining. The man who wanted to see me
had been trying to get an interview with
me for two or three days, as I understood.
J had heard of what he was after from
other parties, so was prepared.
"He said the bill to extend the terms of
office of certain county officers, among
them, myself, had passed the house. In the
senate it had been referred to a committee,
and the man specking to me said it would
take J5.0OO to get It out of the committee
with a favorabl report. He said he had
seen two of the Douglas county senators
using the plural, and he knew they would
support the bill if the matter was properly
handled.
"I. wanted to pin the man down to
specific statements as to how this money
was to be raised, what it was to be used
for and who was to handle It and how.
He . said, after talking the matter over
with certain people Interested, that va
rious county officers out through ,the state
were t contribute a certain proportion,
and the Douglas county officials who
would be benefited by the law would be
expected to make up the balance of the
$5,000. When raised the money was to be
placed in the hands of a certain person
whom he named, to be held by him, and if
the bill became a law this person was to
use my visitor as a go-between to pay It
over. . .
Went to See the Main.
"I told the man I would go to see the
man he had mentioned who was to hold the
money, and that afternoon I did so. I
found him ir. his room with the treasurer
of Gone county and after they had finished
the conference :n which they were engaged
I went In and Inquired into the matter
broached by the first man. I was told that
a condition and not a theory confronted us.
If we wanted to get that bill through the
' senate some money would have to be raised
for expenses, and I gathered the impression
that all county officers were to be asked to
contribute
"I told the gentlemen that tf I paid him
, a dollar or he accepted a dollar from me
we would be placing ourselves up against
the doors of ythe penitentiary; that It
would be bribery, pure and simple to raise
money to Influence legislation. I advised
him. whether he tad done anything yet
or not, to see his attorney, and that is
the last I have heard of the - matter
directly."
In answer to an inquiry, as to whether
any names of senators had been mentioned.
Judge Vlnsonhaler said ' that Senator
Thomas' name had been used as one
man who would agree to favor, the bill.
The judge's allusions to the man' who had
visited him and the other whom he bad
gone to see were so plain that one con
clusion only could be drawn.
What Fink' Says.
Mr. Wlnspear and Mr. Fink were both
visited at once. Mr. Fink was busy, as
he generally Is, and said he did not care
to discuss the matter to any length ex
cept to say "When Judge Vlnsonhaler
came to me I was engaged In discussing
the delinquent tax law with the treasurer
and the county attorney of Gage county
It Is true that I did tell him the officers
lunternea were confronted with a condi
tion and not a theory. I have always
been In favor of a uniform four-year term
for all county officers, and I told Judge
Vlnsonhaler we could not expect men to
go to Lincoln Mr. Wlnspear, or an at
torney, or anybody else-to look after that
bill unless w paid their expenses. Far
ther than that, I shall await the call for
my testimony, and I am ready to give my
testimony, so far as it goes, at any time."
Wlnspear Tells His Story.
Mr. Wlnspear, when seen, spoke at length
of his connection with the alleged raiylng
of an alleged corruption fund. He said:
"The only interest I had In the bill was
as It affected the office of the county treas
urer. I had been to Lincoln In February
at my own expense and had found there
was a disposition, quite strong In some
quarters, to amend the bill so that the
treasurer's terra would only be two years.
I knew, too, that a meeting of thlrty-flvs
or forty county officers from all over the
state had been held at Lincoln, when It
was decided to employ an attorney to put
the bill In shape and to care for its legal
aspects. Basing my Judgment on these
facts snd on what t learned In a later
visit to Lincoln, I concluded that an ex
pense fund would be needed to keep some
one at Lincoln all the time, so that the bill
would not go by default. I saw Senate.
Thomas, Incidentally, and got the Impres
slon he was In favor of the proposition.
"When I came back I did go to see Judgi
Vlnsonhaler, Just as I had talked witb
other men. I told him a pretty good sum
of money mould be required for expenses In
pushing the bill and ssked him to con
sider the matter of contributing. I KiiU I
had spoken to Mr. Fink and asked the
Judge to see him."
ays He Did Xot Kame Sam.
Answering direct questions as to men
tioning a specific sum or naming any sen
ators. Mr. Wlnspear said:
"Such a statement Is a lie. I did not name
any sum of money, or any that It was to go
to any senators or members of the legisla
ture. I did not speak of the proposed fund
In any other way than that It would be
necessary for legitimate expenses. I did
not mention the name of Senator Thomas
or any other senator from Douglas or any
other county In connection with a boodle
fund. How that notion occurred to Judge
Vlnsonhaler Is for him to say. I am too
old to be such a fool as that.
"I did say that senators would have to be
seen and talked to, naturally, but only in
the sense of explaining the merits of the
proposition. I -epeat, my sole Interest In
the bill was with relation to Its effect on
the office of county treasurer, and that In
a legitimate way. I never mentioned to
Judge Vlnsonhaler that someone or anyone
was to hold a fund of $5,000 until the bill
should bo passed and that then I was to
hand out the money,
Vlnaonhnler at Work.
"I do know that Judge Vlnsonhaler has
been engaged In corersnondence relating
to this bill, and that from other- offices,
some filled by democrats, numerous letters
have been sent out over the state. Know
ing that he was interested, I thought It
a very natural thing to consult with him
about raising the necessary money for
expenses. Such work as is Involved in
traveling to Lincoln, and giving time and
effort to keeping track of proposed legis
lation cannot be done for nothing."
Mr.- Wlnspear then explained at length
how he had become Interested through
being in the treasurer's office and that
he had gone to Lincoln at his own expense
to find out the prospects of the bill for
passage. He concluded it would need some
one to give It attention and then It was
he proposed the expense fund about which
Judge Vlnsonhaler had talked.

THE PROBLEMS OF GREATER AMERICA
Chancellor Andrews of the Inlrer-
slty of Nebraska Gives Some Con
clusions and Snaaeatlons In a
Lecture on the Topic.
Chancellor Andrews of the University of
Nebraska In a lecture on "The Problems of
Greater America," at the First Congrega
tional church las night, scouted the Idea
that the Impending triumph of the Japa
nese will cause Russia to give up the Idea
of occupying Manchuria, nnd mntntalning
great nnvnl bases at Tort Arthur and
Vladivostok. He declared Russia Is the
most ambitious nation In the world for
power and prestige and capable of endless
tenacity. On the other hand, he asserted
the "yellow peril" Is a real ond Imminent
danger, nnd that In his opinion only equip-
mt-nt and leadership are necessary to weld
the Chinese Into a force that scarce any
thing on earth can withstand. The Japa
nese fighting force he pronounced the most
marvelous and effective military machine
since the time of Napoleon.
In the event of either Russian or Japa
nese victories the chancellor saw danger to
this country from both the yellow peril and
the bear If the Island empire wins and
from Russia alone If the czar should be
victorious unless by . "ample guarding In
every way known to military and naval
art" the I'tilted States protects Its Pacific
coast line. These statements were made

TEAMS MUST BE SAFELY TIED
Police Pursue Careless Drivers Be-
lentlesslr and Propose to
Bad Bad Practice.
Six men were fined by Police Judge Berka
yesterday for leaving their teams untied
on the streets, and five others were ar
raigned on the charge. Every officer on
the force has orders to arrest all persons
found violating the ordinance relating to
the hitching of teams. A fine of $1 and
costs is customary for the first offense.
"We will continue to bring them in until
the practice is stopped." said Police Cap
tain Hase. "Up to this time the law haa
not been obeyed, but at its meeting Tues
day night the city council passed a resolu
tion Instructing the police department to
see that the provisions of the ordinance
were enforced. We are going to do it.
Notice the results of the recent street
spitting campaign. , After a few days of
many arrests no one can be seen spitting
on the walks. The evil of untied horses
must be abated In the same way. Horses
run away often enough and destroy .life
and property without encouragement."
Those fined yesterday were: David
Cole, T. M. Halloran, Paul Vesch, Roy
Phillips, P. F. Manning and S. Kettleman.
Ed Heelan and Jacob Bernstein were dis
charged and the cases of Peter Horalg,

thst It carried with It an obligation. We

obligation. We cannot do It any longer.
