COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 1.-Chnlrman Beatty of the legislative graft probe com mittee appointed through the Insistence of Governor Harmon, announced today that J. E. Brelsford of Dayton, once partner of Mark Slater, former supervisor of state printing,' had confessed to him of whole sale grafting In the department of print ing at the time that Mr. Slater was In charge. According to the confession of Brelsford, from whom Slater bought goods, he and Slater divided 818.700 drawn from the state treasury on vouchers for the payment for stock never delivered to the state printing department. Brelsford said he received 86,000 for his share and; Slater made a clean-up of the remainder. According to the confession, all the stock sold by Brelsford to Slater, and which stands on the books for something over 816,000, was purchased tv Brelsford In Cm cinnati for 81,700, and was sold to Slater for I2.&00. This was the only bona fide transaction, and .upon it was baaed the fic titious transaction .by which the two pro cured 813,700.

The entire list of goods Itemized 'w read to him and he testified frankly that not a single item represented goods actually delivered by him to the state; that jt was entirely a piece of gran. Before testifying, the committee ex plained to him again that the testimony he might give could not be used against him In the criminal proceedings, and he stated that when the same statement was made last week he did not understand It, The second bill shown him was of March 27, 1908, on which date he had drawn 8278.12 for 100 pieces of cloth. He testified that the bill was padded 100 per cent; that only fifty pieces had been 'sold, making a graft on the Item of 8175.60. Similar testl mony wa given as to other bills.

STOCK FOOD MEN AVOID LAW William Goldaherry, Reporter for Ottamwn Coarier, Fall Heir to Big Bam William Foa- ter'n Will. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES. Feb. 14 (Special Tele gram. I Discovery was made today that In the office of the clerk of the supreme court a system of fee collections has been In vogue which Is not authorized by law. A clerk Is employed who makes copies of opinions for outside publishers, and who also makes copies for the use of the attor neys and the court reporter, and the fees for this work are not turned Into the state treasury. About a dozan years ago, under Clerk Jones, who Is now a subordinate In the same office, this matter came up and the state sued Jones to recover similar fees. A settlement was effected and a law passed forbidding such fees being kept by anyone. Now Deputy Clerk Grubb, who Is a candi date for the nomination agalnnt Clerk Bousquet, has laid the matter before the attorney general for such action as he may deem proper. Stock Food Men Wary. Pure Food Commissioner Wright, In the work of enforcing the. pure food law. finds that makers of stock foods are resorting to various schemes to prevent payment of the state license fees. One company has changed entirely the name of Its stock food product, though analysis shows no change In the product. Another eompany making a very common stock food claims that its product is In faot a medical substance and Is not under the stock food law.

Parsons of Illlnolu, Parsons college of Fairfield, la., will eventually re ceive the entire estate, amounting to 8100,0.0. General Parsons Is the son of the founder of Parsons college. N Wllliavaa Foster's Will. By- the will of the late William Foster, forty years in theatrical business here, his old topera house Is to be torn down and-a modern business block erected there.' It was his evident Intent that his heirs should get out of the theatrical business. He left 84,000 to Edward Milliard, long a faithful omploye and practically manager of his opera house business. DEMOCRATS FEAST AND TALK (Continued from First Page.) ticket. An Insurgent Is a democrat who has not quite discovered himself as yet. Pleads for Harmony. "With one-half of the republicans agree ing with us It Is a good time as democrats to show our appreciation of the compliment by trying to agree with one another. "What the country needs Is more men In office, with the honesty and the courage to enforce the laws that we have new, rather than a. constant cry for new laws or more laws as an excuse for Inaction or. delay, ,"AU must agree that the divorcement of our courts and schools from the field of party politics la an essential requisite to good government The fearful mistake made in giving partisanship continued license to run riot through out schools Is shown by. the recent dismissal of the pres ident of our leading state normal In a manner that brings a blush ofjshame to the people- of the state. This school Is supported by taxation, levied upon the property , of the citizens of Nebraska,. This fact makes more flagrant ..the 'injustice shown In the dismissal of an educator of national reputation from the presidency of a great school because petty partisanship was enthroned in power. When the demo cratic governor got through with the Normal School board, created under the law, later set aside by the courts, there were four democrats and three republi cans members of the board, but It must not be forgotten that one of the republi cans was Colonel Tom Majors kt Peru, and the governor knew that if partisan ship was attempted by a membeitof that board the colonel was more than a match for any two ordinary democrats at the game of politics, so the board was In fact by-partisan. If ' not a trifle overbalanced with republicanism. "I hope to see the day come, and that quickly, when a declaration of party af filiations will not be demanded of a can didate for a seat upon thl bench, who. If elected,' sits In Judgment upon the rights and liberties of us all, nor of the school man who has given into his hand the edu cational Interests and the educalon of the children of the state." Daylight Salooa Law. Here the governor said the legislature re deemed all Its pledgee. He discussed the physical valuation law, the law prohibiting drinking on trains. He said of the daylight saloon law: "The daylight saloon law has been sus tained In every court wherein It has been assailed and has been found effective and easy of enforcement, and Is being received with unqualified approbation by all classes of people. No law heretofore enacted ever won Its way so quickly Into popular ap proval and commendation. Even liquor dealers themselves, who were first furious at Its enactment, are finding that It Is hf'plng.to relieye them from many of the evils of their business. All who have given the matter a moment's attention know the all-nlrht saloon Is a natural haunt of vice and crime, and the producer of misery and woe, and the man who advocates It or op poses (he regulation provided - by the 8 o'clock law Is the advance agent and pro moter of state-wide prohibition. The day right saloon bill does not repeal the right of local option, the power of each com munity to determine for Itself whether or not liquor shall be void In that locality; the democratic legislature has given every municipality In the state the right to elect their own excise boards, which determine matters of license or no license, and regu lation and policing within their borders. ; "I -am a democrat because t believe In local self-government. 1 believe In strict regulation tof the liquor traffic, such as Is provided under-our present law. I know that there has been rebellion against this law and that some democrats have advo cated Its repeal, but the demooratle patty will never deny to the people the right to police the traffic by confining Its sale to the hours which common business practice has made the rule for the sale' ot almost everything else that the householder needs. 'The democratic party must stand In the r.xt campaign upon the record mads by democrats in office and the results of the democratic leglnlature. The enactment of the I o'clock closing law wn the 'mnet radical thing In the fhape of I'quor legisla tion accomplished 'by any political partv In Nebraska since the passage of thj Elocumb law. When the daylight bill cams be fore th ' flerinicrelle'i'oVef Wor'' foV Jhfl mi nt thousands of active, loyal democrats ovrr the state petltirmed him to veto It. Tislnlond of objectors and petitioners In boots came to the f.apltol, mnny 'f them active and Influential ..psrty workers, who vowed If the-, executive approved the bill they wouid not only decapitate "hl'm politic ally, but they would forever desert the party. Few democratic leaders of promi nence rallied to lis 'support. In the face of seeming party condemnation, the Mil wns approved; It Is .gaining ground every day; - thousands of democrats who con demned now. approve U. Much Is tn be done yet to make lt provisions effective. Because of the advantage gained by reason of the enactment of this law end Its ap proval by the-people, -opposing the radical ism of prohibition .upon one hand and the lawless liberty of , unbridled llcenre upon the other, standing always for loyalty to law and good -government, we will win the unquestioned approval of the people of Ne braska at the next election.'' ' W. H. ' Tkoiapsoa oik. Tariff. W. H. Thompson, the first speaker, talked of the Payne tariff bill and among other things said: "That the' Payne-Aldrlch law Is a con temptible betrayal of confidence needs no other or different proof thtvn calling atten tion to thoee who In congress supported It, and thoee who Voted against It; of those who now lend It their praise and those who condemn It. Even the president, who has declared It the best tariff bill ever enacted, will not be heard to deny Its Infamy by trying to hide behind the shadow of the 'My policy' of the man lh darkest Africa, "But I hear' the 'cry frorn the opposition that some democrats helped in this Iniquity. It be remembered, 'my ' republican friends who raise this cry, tliat your mem bers of congress gained their victory by Joining with what you' cill the worst ele ment of the democratic party, and the democrats Joined' With what you call the beet element' of the -republican party. ' Let It be further remembered' that our worst minority Joined - Vfth 'your majority, and your best" minority' Jolrtdd'' wfth 'our ma jority.

PAXT0N RESUMES HIS STORY Executor of Estate Continues Testi mony In Deposition In Civil Salt N arses Will Be Called to Depose. KANSAS CITT. Feb. 14. All witnesses who tell their stories to the grand Jury that today began investigating the Swope mystery, may have to repeat them before Frank P.' Walsh, the ; attorney who Is prosecuting Dr. 'R. Clark Hyde's suit for alleged slander. James Aylward, one of MrsJValsh's assistants, stationed himself near the entrance of the grand Jury room today and as the witnesses appeared to testify he served them' With "subpoenaes. Still- another inquiry into the case will be started on Wednesday, when In Kansas City, Kan., the deposition of Dr. C. H. Jordan, who had prescribed medicine for the Swope family, will be taken.' The grand Jury hae seen afforded every facility, to assist its' members in getting Information concerning the swope-mystery. Every person who Is believed to have any knowledge of the case has been subpoenaed as a witness. The court officials, have an nounced that special precautions nave been taken to keep any news from leaking from the grand Jury room. The officials refused today to state In what order the witnesses would testify, and It was Impossible to learn what Important witness would be called first. Much Importance attaches to the testi mony to be given by the three specialists, Dr, Ludwlg Hektoen and Dr. Walter S. Halns of Chicago, and Dr. Victor Vaughn I of Ann Arbor, Mich. The evidences to be given by these physicians, 1( Is believed, will be the most valuable the grand Jurors will have to consider when they form their conclusions as to what caused the deaths In the Swope family. Swope It arses to Testify. John a. Paxton resumed his story in the office of Frank P. Walsh this mornng. Mr. Paxton's deposition which was full of sensations Saturday again supplied the most Interesting phase of the day's pro ceedings in the unraveling of the Swope mystery as he answered the searching ques tions of the Hyde attorneys. The testi mony given as depositions In the civil suits will be valuable should criminal pro ceedings arise as the result of the grand Jury Investigation. The testimony can be J used, however, only In trylnff to Impeach 1 witnesses. Both sides In a criminal suit would have access to the depositions whether the civil suit had been dismissed or remained In court. Mrs. Logan O. Swope and the Swope nurses may next be called upon to give their depositions in the civil suits. Medicine Contained strychnine. O. H. Gentry, a druggist of lndnpendonce, Mo., giving his deposition in the office of Frank P. Walsh today, testified that he sent a bottle of medicine containing strychnine to the Swope home for Colonel Swope's use Just one week before the mil lionaire died. , Mr. Gentry said he was almost certain that it was on September 30 that Moss Hunton telephoned for a bottle of the med icine for "Cousin Tom." Mr. Hunton him self died the next day, October 1. Mr. Gentry said that each teaspoonful of the medicine contained 1-108th of a grain of strychnine and . that each bottle contained four-fifteenths of a grain. The witness testified that he had not sold more than four bottles of the medicine to Ihe Swopes In the year before ColoAcl Swope died. Frank P. Walsh announced today that a sheriff with a writ of attachment would guard the entrance to the grand Jury room while Dr. Hektoen is testifying next Wednesday and that the physician would be served with the wiij as he emerged from the graml Jury hearing and be taken to Mr. Walsh's office to give his opinion In Dr. Hyde's damage suit. Dr. Hektoen was subpoenaed to give his deposition while he was here for the coroner's In quest and Mr. Walsh asserts that the spe cialist ignored the summons. Miss Pearl Kellarthe nurse who attended Colonel Swope was among the witnesses summoned by the grand Jury today. t . 1 Aeqsltted of Arson Chsraje. ESTHER VLLE, la.. Feb. 14.-Steclal.)
