Them. NJ. Sans-Leroy, accused OF selling
his vote when he was member of the
lottery bond commission, was examined
yesterday.
M. Floquet told the committee that
when he was member Of the ministry
he had ordered that certain advertise
ments he printed in Partisan newspapers.
These advertisements, he admitted had
been inserted not from a business but
from political point of view,
This admission is much commented
upon as being paramount TO an acknowi-
ment that the advertisements were Init a
cover under which the newspapers were
bribed to stlpport the ministerial schemes,
II is very evident that the deeper the
probe is inserted into the Panama affairs
the greater becomes the mass of cor
ruption exposed, not only in regard to
the canal companys affairs but also in
regard TO matters not nertaininr to the
coinpany. The belief Is becoming nrey-
alent that nearly all tho men in nromi-
nent political positions are more or less
Il mixed nm in the affairs that will not
