WASH INC, TuN. J mi. W . Itevelatlon of
attempt to liuy Hip editorial support of the
New York Journal of Commerce In favor
rf "hip siihalfly legislation, which that
psprr has consistently opposed, whi made
to the houoe ihlp subsidy legislation com
mitter yesterday by Alfred V. Uods worth,
h.islnea. manager of the publication.
Karller In the day Paul Kournler. represent
ing the Cranium Bteamhlp line, against
hlh the London conference lines, con
trolling what la alleged to he ! Pr cent
..f the Atlantic passenger traffic are
arrayed, told how railroad authorities In
this country, notably the Central PaS
srnser susoclatlon at Chicago, had refused
to sell tickets routed over Independent lines
unless the Independenta obtained the
sanction of the conference lines.
As the result of the evidence Mr. lods-
firth's brother, John W. Dodsworth,
editor of the Journal of Commerce, will be
recalled to Washington to explain why he
fulled to enlighten the committee In his
recent testimony. It Is probable that
Charles A. Conant of New York, a former
Washington correspondent, may be aked
to throw light on an offer to subsidise the
paper asserted ttP have been forwarded
tluough him to the Journal of Commerce,
which be then represented. ,
Alfred W. Dodsworth arrived at the com.
nilttee room with a list of questions he
nanted propounded to him. Impelled by
what he regarded as misrepresentation of
the attitude of his paper.
The testimony, however, suddenly broad
ened and the . witness sought refuge In
referring the committee to his brother now
In New York for detailed enlightenment.
I'aper ever Unbsldlsed.
The witness said his paper never had
been subsidised by any Interest whatever
and Its bualnesa and editorial columns had
no relation. Hut he testified about sin
)ears ago a person came. Into his office
and offered to pay the Journal of Com
merce lluo.ouo, taking 1,000,000 copies of his
paper for the Insertion of an article In
one Issue supporting the ship subsidy
legislation.
This man refused to disclose his Identity
unless his proposition was to bs accepted.
His propdnal. was In the event of accept
ance, to make out a certified check Immedi
ately for J10.000 to bind the agreement and
to pay the balance of 90,000 upon publi
cation of the article. Mr. Dodsworth
said he Immediately called his brother,
John W.. Into his office as a witness to
the conversation and the proposition was
declined. That, however, was only one
such event. Another man. about two years
ago. Dodsworth said, tried to buy the sup
port of the paper for 140,000 and in the
Ppanlsh-Amerlcan war the Spanish gov
ernment tried to buy the paper's Influence.
Chairman Olcott, Representative Long
worth of Ohio and other members of the
committee sharply criticised the two
brothers for falling to submit this Infor
mation to the committee before pointing
out that John W. Dodsworth in his tes
timony soras Urns ago had been asked
categorically as to such matters and had
denied any information such as that dis
closed today. The witness said the com
mittee would have to ask the brother why
he failed to disclose the information.
Chairman Olcott asked the witness who
represented the Spanish government when
It tried to buy his paper's support.
Offer Ttaroaajk CorreapOBeat.
Mr. Dodsworth replied thst the proposi
tion came through Charles A. Conant, who
was then ths paper's Washington corre
spondent. Pressed as to the 'identity of
the man who made ths offer, Mr. Dods
worth said his father or brother may have
been told, but he himself had not.
Mr. Conant communicated the proposition
In a letter, according to the witness, who
afterward qualified this by saying he
thought It was a letter, after ths commit
tee had stated it would like to have the
letter.
Representative Hawley of Oregon asked
how much money was proposed In that of
fer and the witness said he did not know.
His father was then managing editor. Mr.
Dodsworth when asked what he regarded
the ship subsidy Intsrests, mentioned the
Ward line and the New Tork tfc Forto Rico
Pteamsblp company, but did not recall
Others.
He aald he could not undertake to name
the persona who made the 1100,000 offer, but
he believed It came from ship subsidy in
terests and when pressed as to what he
meant by that hs mentioned the Cramps
and the Roaches as Interests coming under
that head. He referred to the attacks
made on his paper for Its opposition to
ship subsidy and declared as a "lie" from
beginning to last a clipping from a C'ln
cinnatl or Cleveland paper which he had
received purporting to be an article from
the Journal of Commerce, coming out for
subsidies. He said the New Tork Com
mercial and ths New York Tribune had
called his paper a subsidised shipping pa
per.'
Mr. Dodsworth will resume his testimony
tomorrow.

GOVERNOR VESSEY WANTS
UNIFORM LEGISLATION
Meaaaaea to Two Houses Will F'ndorae
Sherman Dill Members Visit Con
servation f.inarraa.
PIERRE. 8. D.. Jan. 2.-Rpeclal Tele
gramsGovernor Vcasey will give his en
dorsement to the Sherman bill of yester
day asking for a commission on uniform
legislation. In messages to the two houses.
The aim Is to secure uniformity, especially
In banking; and divorce lawa In the dif
ferent states of the union.
The members of the legislature have
caught the conversation fever and the
principal business this week appears to be
the presentation of new bills at short ses
sions, the rest of the time of many of
ths members being put In at the congress.
Perkins Introduced a bill In the senate
to change the senatorial 'apportionment
which adds three to that part of the state
west ot the Missouri river and apportions
the loss eaat of the river by changing dis
trict lines to divide the difference be
tween eastern counties.
While the last republican platform calls
for repeal of the law requiring publication
of Insurance statements, Norbeck In the
senate and Van Camp In the house today
Introduced bills requiring fewer publica
tions and a division regardless of the party
or principle of the paper securing the
ststements.
Two more bank guaranty bills went In
this afternoon and that Issue promises to
be one of ths live ones when the session
gets down to business again.

Today's developmrnts were:
Judsre Klmbrough summoned to testify
before the grand Jury which he himself
ch;-Ked to make an liivestljrstion.
Mayor Piatt also asked to testify.
I'rlnglng of elections more than eighteen
mot, ths ago, oidered excluded by Judge
Klmbrough, under fire.
Couit's own election brought Into the
search.
Testimony by Charles Knox, unsuccess
ful candidate for sheriff, and Peter San
Iclias, Greek politician.
Mayor and Judge KUnbrough announced
they will go before Inquisitors and unre
servedly tell all they know.
Opening fire on both demociats and re

and former foot ball coach of L'nlverslty
of .Michigan. '
Late today subpoenas were Issued and
given the sheriffs ofrice for immediate
service, which made the city gasp at the
suddenness with which the blow fell and
with the Identity of those named.
Political Aspect Dlsenssed.'
The political aspect of the move today,
which was intensified when Foreman Isaac
Woodyard showed surprise when asked
about the new list, st once became the
chief topic ot conversation, in Ianville.
Members of one faction openly said It was
a "move to whitewash the others, now
that It Is too late to get action," while
the others denied knowledge of the motives
back of the move and said it was only a
"natural step In the much-desired clean
ing up of political conditions."
. Little attention lo paid to any oilier
feature of the sudden action. However,
except his display of surprise when shown
the list, Foreman Isaac Woodyard, who
has said: "Just wait; we'll go to the bot
tom this tlilnii." had only a smile for
questioners tonight.
Many of the subpoenas are issued in di
rect defiance to the express Instructions
of Judge Klmbrough In charging the grand
Jurors last week, when they were empow
ered only to Investigate all alleged traffic
In votes during the last eighteen months.
The court's Interpretation of the law,
which exempted his own election, became
a matter of public Interest. The1 order
also excluded from examination the elec
tion of. State's Attorney John H. Lewman
and Mayor Louis Piatt.
Last of Men gammoned.
Following Is the list of men for whom
subpoenas were Issued today, the action
following hsrd upon the - appearance of
Charles Knox, unsuccessful republican
candidate for sheriff at the primaries, be
fore ths grand Jury:
K. R. E. Klmbrough, the circuit Judge
who brought about the investigation.
Mayor Louis Piatt, elected twenty-one
months ago, when Judge Kimbrough was
his strong supporter.
F.srl Chambers, a chauffeur, who has
been summoned to explain a rumor current
at the time that he drove Candidate Piatt
ard Judge Klmbrough about the city the
day of the mayor's election, lo carry
money to the workers at the polls.
Clint C. Tllton, editor of the Press-Democrat,
a Danville democratic morning news
paper. James Meeks, master In chancery of the
circuit court.
George 1j. Harroun. a law clerk In the
office of Master In Chancery Meeks.
Harry Campbell, democratto committee
man from the Seventh ward.
Percy Piatt, son of Mayor Piatt.
Chris Liens, Mayor Tlatt's private secre
tary. Will Connors, a politician.
Fred ("Or.") Tutrich, deputy sheriff snd
guard Ht the door of tho Brand Jury room,
who was objected to by Foreman Wood-
yard, but who was accepted when he ex
plained his method of handling witnesses.
Theodore Anderson, a politician.
Charles Weese, an election Judge at Wcst-
vllle.
Ixiu Nolan, a politician.
Among the witnesses before the grand
Jury today waa Peter Sanlchas. the Greek
politician, who has considerable Influence
among the people of his race here. He
spent an hour and ten minutes before the
questioners and had announced he would
tell all he knew, which, he added, smiling,
was nothing. This is the customary an
nouncement ot witnesses before the grand
Jury.
Defeated Candidate Testlflra.
Another witness was Charles Knox, un
successful candidate before the primaries
for nomination as sheriff. He was pre
paied, before going before the grand Jury,
lo explain the rumor current here at the
time of the primary and sine that he had
approached the head of a local political
organization not Identified and had been
told It would cost him Svi.CX) for the organ!
ration and 14,000 for that body "to spend."
The report has It he refused and lost
the nomination.
How far thejiew situation will carry the
Inquisitors Is not known. livery public
official In Vermilion county admits he
knows of vote trafficking, some of it by
personal observation, but none have ex
pressed willirgness to rle this Information
unliBs it were trreed that all would turn
in and muka a "cleaning up "
As a result much sepculallon is rife as
to what Information will he given by Judge
Klmhrough who "started It '
He was linked late today when it became
known he as to appear as a witness
whether he would refuse to give testi
mony relating to events further back than
einlittj.n months, aa he had warned the
lii'iulxltoi . or if he would refute to tes
tify concerning his oun election. He said
he would not refuse, but would tell all he
knew.
Jadase la )oerr Position.
A peculiar situation will arise when
Judge KimbrouKh appears to testify. He
will be under fire from the body he him
self directed to do the firing; he will be
examined by an officer of his own court,
State a Attorney Lea. man. and Incidentally
Lewman will be asking questions which
open up his own campaign for inspection.
And the rand Jury In theory is a part of
the court it will be questioning.
Mayor Piatt today would not discuss the
automobile ride story. In which bags of
money figured. When it waa mentioned he
said he iM-rsnnally never had bought a
vole. Chambers, the chauffeur, said he
a prepared to say that he made several
trlpa from the First National bank to
different parts of the city, on each of
which bass of silver were carried. He
id. howt-ter. he did not know what as
duno aith the mono. Mayor Plait said
the money was spent chiefly In keeping
together his organisation, which he char
acterised a the most complete ever
brought together In Hanville
l'P to the sudden turn of affaiis today
those whose elections were chiefly under
fire were Sheriff John Shepard and Speaker
Cannon, both republicans. If the Inquiry
K-ves back more than eighteen months, as
Indicated bv the list of witnesses name!
today. It will cm en to attack the election
In which the democrats. Mayor Piatt and
Judge K iii.brouirh, ere successful.
This circumstance, which removes the
question of tarty advantage. Is taken by
many here to be the first Indication of
Foreman Woodynrd's plan of campaign
by which he expected to get results.
Politicians whi discuss the matter freely
had ascribed much of the weakness of the
Investigation to the fact that ' onlv one
political faction will be affected." lit that
Is true nothing may be said to eland in the
way of a complete and thorough "clean
up" of Vermilion county politics at this
time.
