UN OFFER TO
BUY
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS TENDERED FOR VOTE.
SENATOR TRAVIS APPROACHED
As a Witness Hs Tells How a Myste
rious Little Man Had Much
Money to Give Away.
New York. One hundred thousand
dollars to vote against the anti-race
track betting bills in 1908 was offered
to State Senator Eugene M. Travis
of Brooklyn, so he swore on the
stand, testifying before the legislative
committee.
A mysterious little man. whose
name he does not recall, made the
offer in the lobby of the senate, he
said, in behalf of former Senator
Frank J. Gardner. And Gardner, he
added, confirmed it in a subsequent
telephone conversation.
Gardner is now under indictment
charged with having attempted simil
arly, though with a lesser amount, to
influence Otto G. Foelker of Brook
lyn, now a congressman, but then a
state senator. Foelker voted for the
bill, as did Travis, and it was passed
notwithstanding the frantic efforts of
the raec track interests and the al
leged use of a fund which previous
testimony has placed at $500,000.
Travis' testimony and the commit
tee's efforts to subpoena James R.
Keene and Hany Payne Whitney,
two millionaires, whose hobby is
horse racing, were the most interest
ing developments of the day's hear
ing, resumed after an adjournment on
October 22.
Efforts to find Messrs. Keene and
Whitney have so far been without
success and Mr. Lynn Bruce, chair
man of the committee, is becoming
impatient. Both men have been
mentioned in previous testimony as
having been present at a conference
at Delmonico's at which the alleged
corruption fund was raised and the
committee is anxious to examine
them.
"It Is strange," said Judge Bruce,
"that with the horse show going on
Harry Payne Whitney, at least, can
not be located. We have had sub
poena servers at the show every day
and evening looking for Mr. Whit
ney or any of the others, but they
cannot be found. Our men also
scoured the field at the aviation meet
without success. We have communi
cated with Mr. Whitney's secretary,
but he claims not to know where he
can be found. At Mr. Keenc's office
nothing can be learned of his where
abouts." Travis story added two new names
to the list of senators "approached."
the amount offered him, he explained,
was to be paid in two installments,
$25,000 down and $75,000, after his
vote had been cast.
EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY.
But the Nights Are for the Cats, Ssys
Col. Roosevelt.
Washington. Colonel Roosevelt re

for the first time since his official de
parture from the White house in
March, 1909. In the role of sportsman
and scientist he came to relate before
the National Geographic society his
adventures in the African jungle.
Much interest was manifested as to
Aiiether he would make any reference
to the recent political upheaval and
politics in general, but beyond the
remark, "Every dog has his day, but
the nights belong to the cats," which
he made in jest before the National
Press club, where he was informally
received, the colonel evaded the men
tion of politics.
Dispute Ends Fatally.

nora, Mexico, and had lived in this
country many years.

FOR SUNDAY SUPPER
HINTS ON PREPARING THIS
FORMAL MEAL.
IN-
On Hot Dish and the Rest Cold Ss
It May Be Served at Any Time
and Guests Help Them
selves. Informal suppers on Sunday even
ings are the entertainments provided
oy one country hostess for her friends,
and so successful have these affairs be
come that never is she without sev
eral visitors, and. as the meal Is of a
kind that can be served at any hour,
guests have no feeling of being too
late.
The hostess has but one servant,
and allows her to go out every Sun
day. It is easier to do without any
service than to have that which Is
bad. the employer sensibly maintains,
and declares that it would be de
moralizing to work at other times,
did she allow too much latitude tc
the maid in the dining room on Sun
days. So. after the formal midday
dinner Is over and the dishes washed,
the maid lays the supper tablo and
then departs.
Supper Is either cold or there Is but
one hot dish, this being made In the
chafing dish, and chosen with a view
to not spoiling by standing In the hot
water jacket. Curried eggs, creamed
chicken or salmon, or something simi
lar, is usually prepared, and Incident
ally, should any be left over. It Is ex
cellent for luncheon next day.
Besides this hot food there is al
ways a vegetable salad and mayon
naise, selecting either cucumber or to
mato. There is breac and butter and
Iced tea or coffee. The dessert is
either berries, other fruit, or a kind
that will keep for many hours without
looking left over.
All these are on the table at once.
There Is no tablecloth, but a center
piece, a dish of flowers, and candies.
Plates are not placed at regular inter-
vale, but left in a pile, one at either
end of the table. Knives are also
together, and so are forks, two sets
being at either side of the table to
cave unnecessary reaching. The Jug
of Iced tea and glasses for It are on
a side table, and the dessert may be
kept there also.
The usual time for going into the
dining room is 7 o'clock, but as tho
supper cannot be harmed by stand
ing, and there Is no maid to be de
layed, the hostess goes when she feels
like it. and from then on to 8:30
friends drop in. Each person help?
himself as at any buffet supper, and
there Is never an evening when all Is
not gayety and fun. Such entertain
ing Is no tax on the hostess, and she
sees her friends far more often than
she would under other circumstances.
Since nutomobiling has become more
general, her home is more or less of a
meeting place and Sunday night sup
pers have become an institution in
the household.
Green Tomato Pie Mixture.
Four quarts green tomatoes chop
ped fine, drain, cover with cold water,
simmer SO minutes and drain again.
Add two pounds brown sugar, one
pound raisins, half pnurd citron chop
ped fine. on tablespoon salt, half cup
vinegar, half cup butter. Cook this
mixture until it thickens. When cold
add one tablespoon cloves, cinnamon
and nutmeg. Put in jars cold and
seal. This is a good substitute for
mince meat and it will keep all win
ter. Removal cf Rust Stains.
