was Intercepted at length by members OF
the committee, and by Congressman Follett,
o. the First Cincinnati district, relative
to the legality Of the appointment Of men
not residents Of Cincinnati as deputy mar
shals. Sections Of the revised statutes we're
read to the effect that no person should be
appointed as deputy marshal who was not
qualified voter of the voting precinct or
election district, and none should be ap-
pointed without the request of two citizens.
Judge Lawrence said the accounts had
not reached his office, that the
legality Of the appointment was q
/ question of law, and be did not wish
/ to express an opinion before carefully exam
/ lining the statutes.
ThOs. Cavanaugh, ex-deputy sergeant-at-
/ arms of the house OF representatives who was
at Cincinnati en- election day, was also ex-
| amined. He said he was employed at the
/ instance Of Col. Dudley, and under insIruc-
! lions OF the central Republican committee, TO
guard against repeating at the polls.
] ''Did that committee furnish you moneyl''
/ inquired VanAstyDe.
''No sir, received money at Cincinnati"
''Who paid youln
al received money from the Lincoln club,
/ of Cincinnati. 1t amounted to several thous-
and dollars
''Who gave it to youln
"Mr Heckenlooper. was to use 1t at my
| discretion aud understood 1t was to be paid
! to people to prevent fraud on election day.
Some few men were employed as United
States marshals."
Cavanaugh said be met Dudley at Colnm-
bus, and at his direction reported to Rath-
bone at Cincinnati, who was engaged in
looking after the election. Cavanaugh him
self handled the finances and helped the boys
out. The money was paid to take men back
to Chicago who had come to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. At least they said they had
come for that purpose. They got hard up,
and the party who brought them there didn't
treat them right. They gave US valuable in
formation.
''Did you make any attempt to prevent
men from voting who came there to vote
the Republican ticketl"asked Representative
Toilet.
my instructions were to prevent anybody
voting Illegally"
''Was there any attempt to prevent colored
men voting who were eolonized in Cincin-
natl from Kentuckyl'
IAN attempt was made, as 1 said, to pre-
vent illegal voting"
''Did you ever see as many colored people
in any city as there were in Cincinnati on
the day of any previous elcctionl"
AZ would not like to make com parison."
''You used the Republican cam paign funds
to prevent illegal votingl"
''Those funds were used to secure an hon.
est vote, regardless of party, in Cincinnati
on election day."
In answer to a question from Follett, Cav
anaugh said men living in other cities were
at Cincinnati who might have been serving
as deputy marshals.
THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
The joint commission in charge of the
Washington monument to-day submitted to
congress a report showing its progress during
the past year. The report shows the weight
of the monument is 81, 100 tons, aud it has
cost 81, no, Of which congress appropri-
ated 1857, no. In relation to the completion
of the monument, the engineer in charge OF
the work submits report with that of the
commission. He says: ''Two methods OF
treating the terrace at the foot of the shaft have
been suggested. One method proposes to
erect a retaining wall of the most beautiful
marble around the terrace, which wall is to
be surmOunted with marble balustrade.
At the center of each face is to be set Of
broad, double stairs, extending from the
; general level of the esplauade, which is to be
paved in marble tiles of approved patterns.
! The other method proposed Is to Till
earth about the present terrace and extend
this filing far from the monument as to
fade slopes of the embankmeut gradually in
to the surrounding surfaces, and this is TO be
done with so much skill as to give the mound
> an appearance so far from artificial as posi-
> BILE. This mound is then to be
T planted with trees and shrubs,
+ paths are to be laid out, a
j pavement to be put around the foot of the
t monument, aud far enough to prevent storm
e waters from washing out the filing.
If the marble walk is decided ON an appro-
priation OF 1912. 800 is asked to com plete the
entire work. If the second proposition is
. adopted b1t S166, 500 is desired. The joint
e commission 1avors the latter method.
