FROM WASHINGTON.
A DOUBLE PURPOSE.
The Stories kellogg Told Price About
the e2O. OF White
washing kellogg.

WASHINGTON. May 5.
In the affidavit given by ]. b. Price rela-
tive TO his charge of having paid Kellogg
$50. 900 for securing the expedition in two
star mail routes. Price says at different times
Senator Kellogg entirely of his own volation,
made contradictory statements of what be-
came of the proceeds of the draft not aggre-
eating $50, 200. On one occasion he claimed
that the entire amount went 10 Brady, he
himself having derived no personal benett
from the transaction. On another he admit
ted receiving s., 200 and asserted that walsh
KEEP, the rest On an intermediate occasion
he said that Walsh appropriated the whole.
At all our interviews Senator Kellogg seemed
to be animated by two purposes. First, to
inspire me with the belief that the current in
vestigation and trials would end in nothing,
and second to deter me from making any
disclosures which would prove damaging to
him. l said to Kellogg expect him TO pay
my attorney fees and keep me harmless lie
promised to do both.
At meeting of the House committee on
expenditures in the department OF justice
TO-DAY, Springer read letter TO Kellogg in
which the latter asked that he be allowed to
appear before the committee with counsel
Kellogg further said that if the committee
did not investigate him he would ask the
House to appoint special committee to con-
duct the investigation. The members thought
it looked as if the committee was called upon
to whitewash Kellogg, After discussion
the committee instructed Springer to confer
with Kellogg. and suggest that the latter offer
a resolution in the House, asking for an IN
vestigation.
