The Case OF Schumacher and King
Probable Sentence Of Mckee
Cuban Affairs.
CHICAGO, Feb. A..
A Times Washington special says
the Judiciary Committee has for some
time been considering the case of
Schumacher and King on the light of
the Pacific Mail testimony referred to
before the Ways and Means Commit
tee. BY this testimony it is shown
that Schumacher, Democrat, received
upwards of 500, 900 to act as the paid
Lobbyist of the corrupt Pacific Mail
agency. King, Republican, has not
only been shown to have been a bribe-
taker, but by record a purjurer as
well. The Judiciary Committee is
clearly of the opinion that these men
should be expelled from Congress, but
is doubtful whether it has the right to
60 back of the election and punish
their acts committed prior to that
time.
A st. Louis special says the latest in
formation concerning the disposition of
the Mckee case is that he will pay "A
fine of $1,000 and be imprisoned 80
