Col. Lester Says the Coming Congress
viii Be a Busy One


Hon. Rufus Z. Lester viii leave for
Washington tomorrow. where he will at
tend the winter session of the Fifty-third
congress. Col. Lester said yesterday that
the winter session will probably last until
March 4. when the term Of the members
Of the present body viii expire.
There is a great deal of work waiting
for congress, Col Lester said. Hundreds
of bills bearing upon every conceivable
subject almost have been introduced, and
the usual process Of sitting down and
fighting OF unnecessary and injudicious
legislation will have to be gone through
with. Col. Lester said that the currency
question will undoubtedly occupy consid-
cradle time this session. Mr.. Bland Of
Missouri has announced his intention Of
Introducing a bill looking to the restora-
ton OF silver, and the 16 TO 1 congressman
are expected TO make a fight TO secure
some concessions on the line advocated
by them.
There win probably be considerable tar
if discussion also. The pop-gun bills pro-
viding for the reduction or removal of
duties on various lines of manufacture
and production are still before the House
and the question of free raw materials
is expected to come up again. Col. Lester
is not willing to hazard any forecast as
to what congress is likely to do at the
approaching session.

have believed all along the charge was ut
terly groundless. The only witness in
troduced was the girl Sarah Louise Ken
nedy. who voluntarily stated that the
charge preferred by her several weeks
ago against lIr. shaner was false.
She exonerated IN. shaner and de-
clared that she had ne yer been crimnauy
intimate with any man. She explained her
actions by saying that when she visited
her father in Charles ton in October she
was taken I'D and her father thought she
had gone wrong. He threatened 10 kin
her unless she gave him the name of her
seducer. and in fear OF her life, she said.
she gave the name Of Mr.. Shaffer She
claimed that on one occasion Mr.. Shafer
had taken improper liberties with her
person, and this was what brought his
name TO her mind. This part OF the
girls story was denied by Mr. Shaffer. as
well as the story formerly told by her.
After hearing the girls story Justice

some time and who he's shown a great
deal OF interest in the case. was pres

what he knew about it, but Justice Shelf
all did not consider il necessary to hear
any further evidence.
The girls story was regarded as very
thin by those who heard it. Mr. Shaner
stated to a Morning News reporter that
he believed the charge was concocted for
the purpose of blackmail. He came to this
conclusion shortly after the girls father
called upon him and charged him with
being his daughters seducer, he said. be
cause he did not demand that he should
marry the girl, but told Mr. Shaffer that
he intended to throw her upon his hands
and make him pay all her expenses. The
result of the case was as eXpected.
