Owenby Wants His Expenses Paddock
cry Further Explains.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.--The silver pool
committee has received telegram
from Congressman Mason, OF Illinois,
stating that he has seen Owenby, and
that the much wanted witness consents
to appear if his expenses be paid.
Mason was requested to purchase
Owenby ticket, and inform him that
his expenses would be paid by the COM
mittee. Stevens, Of the Globe Demo-
crat, also received telegram from
Owenby, which he laid before the COM
mittee, asking if counsel would be al
lowed him. He named Ex-Governor
Foraker ne his attorney.
Dockery read prepared statement,
giving more in detail the facts testified
to by him Wednesday. He said he was
anxious to beat the force bill. It was
not known il Cameron was reelected
whether he would vote for it, but his
attitude of uncertainty led Dockery
ito hops he would vote against
lit. He (Dockery) did not wish just be-
fore the election in Pennsylvania to
make public any private business trans
action of the senator, which might be
legitimate and proper, but before he
could show it to be such could be used
by his political enemies to his detri-
iment. Dockery had information that
Cameron purchased. silver, but no
knowledge that he was connected with
any pool, nor of any impropriety in its
purchase.
Dockery Thought it only justice to
Cameron that the matter should not be
made public by him when it might be
used by Cameron's political opponents
to his injury before he could have an
opportunity to explain the facts. There
was no agreement or understanding be-
tween Cameron and himself or any other
person that his (Dockery's) testimony
should be delayed. He acted on his own
Judgment. induced solely by the reasons
stated above.

New YoRK, Jan. 3O.-Thomas Reagan,
OF San Francisco, who was one Of Lucky
Baldwin's turf representatives in the
east for some time past, has disappear
ed with about $4,000 in his possession,
$1,000 Of which belongs to the California
millionaire. There are suspicious that
Reagan met with foul play, this being
the opinion Of his associates in the
Baldwin stable at the Westhester race
track, as he had an opportunity to de-
camp with great deal more money.
Reagan cold two horses for Baldwin,
to go to Mahon, Of Philadelphia, just
before Christmas. He went to Phila-
delphia and was paid by Mahon, who
took him to the Gloucester race track
and introduced him to several men.
When the young man returned, to West
chester, he was accompanied by dark
conplexioned man. Arthur Bedenhaver,
who has charge of the horses at present,
said he did not like the strange mans
appearance, and warned Reagan to be
careful of himself. On New Years day
Reagan went to the Clifton race track to
bet on Macbeth for the New Years cup,
and it was said he won very heavily
on the race. When he came back
from Clifton, Reagan's friends say he
had in the neighborhood of 5000 in
his pockets, counting the 5000 received
from Mahon for the Baldwin horses.
Then Reagan drew his back pay, which
amounted to at least $1,000, and was
seen once or twice afterward in company
with the dark man. 1t is now two
weeks since Reagan Was last seen, and
there are grave fears that he has been
made away with.
