MANY CHARGES OF CORRUPTION
CounciImen Said to Have Been
UnduIy Influenced.
FRANCHISES GIVEN AWAY

HARRISBURG, Pa, May S.-The Pen
rose resolution, providing for an investi-
cation by a Senate committee of five Of
ed the senate this morning, with only one
dissenting vote, that of Senator Osbourne.
The resolution was reported from the
judiciary general committee by Senator
Grady, with recommendation that 1t be
adopted by the senate as committed: A
viva voce vote was taken on The resolution
and it was adopted without debate.
The Penrose resolution was brought
about through a petition of the Citizens
Municipal League of Philadelphia, in which
1t was alleged that powerful combina-
tions can and do influence the members Of
the select and common councils CT this
city, control and direct the legisla tive ac-
ton of said councils and obtain from the
city the grant by ordinances of valuable
franchises and privileges without adequate
compensation therefor and without such
as is needed for the protection of the city
and of its citizens"
The petition further charges that "con-
tracts for all kinds of public work, and in
some instances of vast public Importance,
are, under the existing methods of admins
tration, too often secured by contractors
who seem to have a monopoly of the busi-
ness; changes in such contracts and speci-
fcations, therefore, are frequently made
after the contract is awarded"
The committee which was appointed Is
Senators Thomas, Andrews, Kennedy. Nc
Carrell, Hackenburg and Grady. The entire
committee is composed OF republicans owing
sent one-sixh of the membership Of the
senate. 9

THE BOND SYNDICATE
Treasury officials Are Satisfied With Its
Compliance With the Contract.
Its Deposits All Right and Also Its
Control of the Market to Pro-
tect Treasury Gold.

Today closes the third month under the
bond contract with the Morgan-Belmont
syndicate Of New York, and up TO this
time all of the terms of the contract have
been complied with to the satisfaction of
the treasury officials. On February last,
the date Of the contract, the gold reserve
In the treasury amounted TO s42, 7S3, ,060,
which has since been increased to So. sa1,
579. the amount reported today, making the
net gain for the three months $40, sos, $40.
Yesterday the syndicate deposited in the
New York subtreasury about $4,000,
which completes its obligation to date, but
does not, SO far as can be learned leave
any surplus to their contract. The $50 &C.,
600 in domestic gold permitted to be de-
posted under the contract has long since
been turned in, but whether all of the
$16,5OO,O0O of foreign gold required to date
by the terms of the contract has actually
been imported cannot be learned here. 1t
is believed, though, that 1t has not been
imported. 1t is assumed that the syndicate
will be deemed to have complied with its
contract If it is found at the close of the
deal on October l next to have on deposit
the $32O00,0OO in foreign gold, independent
of the fact that they may have used do
mestic gold from time to time, and not
have made the adjustment requiring half
of the gold to be domestic ard half for
eign until the last moment.
What Treasury officials Say.
The treasury officials say that they have
no information as to whether the syndicate
is buying gold in the west or not, but they
are unable to see how the syndicate could
meet its contract obliga gatiunsIwithout buy
ing gold whenever and wherever it could
Not the least important feature of their
contract with the government was its
agreement to protect the treasury, so far
as it was able, from gold Withdrawals for
export, and at this time, with sterling ex-
change at its present high rate, this is no
light obligation, and it is more than prob
able that the syndicate has been compelled
to make heavy purchases of gold in the
vest, possibly at a slight premium. in order
to cover its foreign bills. That large pur-
chases are making is evidenced by the fact
that one or more of the large refineries
which heretofore have sold their product
at the Denver assay Office ceased making
their deliveries there some weeks ago, and
the assumption is that it is being sold in
New York at figures slightly in advance of
the price paid at the Denver mint Thus
far the officials are entirely satisfied they
say with the manner in which the syndi-
cate is carrying out its contract, both as to
its deposits and its control Of the market
SO as to protect the treasury gold from
export.

TRAPPED TO DEATH.
SEM nttUDal Statements Regarding

SEM q ttNDH1 Statements Regarding x
the Louisville Tragedy.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, May S.-The Courier
Journal today prints the following:
The sensation attending the Gordon dou-
BILE killing is not over yet, by half. The
prosecution today will attempt to prove
that Arch Dixon Browns death was due
to plot to assassinate him; trap, as the
prosecution believes, forced and planned
by one who, for reasons best known to HIM
SELF was afraid to do the work, and used
Gordon as the tool to carry out his de-
sign. These statements come directly from
the prosecution.
The attorney engaged to prosecute the
case says:
Governor Brown is now firmly con-
vinced that a well planned trap was laid
for his son, and that his son was selected
for the sacrifice out of a large number of
like offenders, and that information was
furnished of his coming by some one in
Frankfort to another man in Louisville
who, for some motive, advised and actively
assisted in what Governor Brown considers
a foul assassination.
I'm regard to the others who were like
offenders with Arch Brown, will say, for
the sake of Mrs. Gordon's relatives, who
are all excellent people and highly es-
sci, that the governor would shrink from
any attack upon her character, but would
prefer to throw the veil of charity over all
her acts, especially as she is dead. The
future will determine whether it will be
necessary to further blacken the character
of Mrs Gordon in order to show the de-
fendants thorough knowledge Of it."

BEFORE THE TRIAL BOARD.
Trying Policeman Green for ShoOtin
Reuben Foster.

Trying Policeman Green for Shooting
Reuben Foster.
Acting Captain Vernon and Lieuts Heff-
ner and Swipdells members of the police
trial board, took possession of Lieut.. Kelly's
police station this morning and remained
in session all day to hear the cases of four
policemen against whom charges had been
brought.
The most important case was that of Off
Ger A w. Green, who was charged with vio-
lating the rules Of the department in the
use of his revolver when he killed Reuben
Foster in Hillsdale more than a month ago.
More than a score Of witnesses were sum-
moned in the case, but it was late In the
afternoon before the case was reached, and
1t Is likely that all the witnesses cannot be
heard today.
Lawyer Moss defended the accused Off
Ger, and made every effort to have the
evidence confined to the actual shooting
and the reasons therefor.
He gave notice in advance that he would
object to the taking of the evidence con-
cerning the complaints and Indignation
meetings. His examination of the wit
neSSeS had some bearing on the scene of
the shooting, counsel endeavoring to satis-
fy the members Of the trial board that
there were no innocent persons lives jeop-
ardized, as the shooting was done on a lot
where the fugitive Foster was the only one
who could possibly have been shot.
Policeman Carlson of the first precinct
and Policeman Peck were tried on charges
of drinking and neglect of duty. The
former was defended by Lawyer Moss, as
was Policeman Bowie, who was charged
with having been absent without leave.
In the case of officer Peck, a plea of not
guilty was entered, and the officer called
fully a dozen witnesses in his own behalf
Lieut.. Gessford and Sergt. Jones were the
only witnesses for the prosecution. Dr.
Cannon, one of the police surgeons, was a
witness for the defense.
The trials were conducted behind closed
doors and the public excluded, unlike the
proceedings in cases of citizens who are
arrested by the police and taken into court.

CHICAGO, May s.-A special to the
Record from Indianapolis says: 1.-The pop
ulists of Indiana under instructions from
Chairman Taubeneck of the national COM
mittee are now maneuvering for union
with the free silver wing of the demo-
cratic party. One of the populist leaders
said union of the popuHsts with the
free silver men in both the old parties is
inevitable.
1--WE think we see the breaking up CT
old political parties" said he. The con-
test next year will be between the gold
men on one side and the silver men on the
other. The contest will be one in which
the south and west will be arrayed against
the east. The battle ground will be in In
diana, Illinois. Iowa and Minnesota. If
the south and west stand together for
free silver they will win
do the populists stand ready to unite
with the democratic silver party?"
"Yes. If the party should win 1t would
be a victory for the populists 1t Is i'm
material under what name We win. The
free coinage of silver Is the central doc-
trine of the populists, and we are ready
to make any sort of a union If we can ac-
complish our object"

CONGRESSMAN RICHARDSON
He Talks Briefly Upon Several Subjects Of
Current Interest.
on Putting the Gov.
ernment Printing Office Under
Civil Service Rules.

A group of newspaper men rounded up
Representative Richardson of Tennessee
today. They corralled him in a quiet cor
ner and then proceeded to drill him for
news. A Star man was in the crowd.
Somebody said you are a gold bug" re-
marked one of the men to Mr.. Richardson,
in an off-hand way.
For Free Coinage.
who said so?" cried Mr.. Richardson,
indignantly. IT'S no such thing; am for
the free coinage of silver and have always
voted that way" This was a good starter;
it got him interested in the subject and
warmed up.
'The people of my country are very much
agitated Eow over this financial question.
and they are talking and thinking about
1t great deal. Down there they want more
silver. They would rather have an interna-
tional agreement.if possible, and are not anx-
ious for this country to go II alone but 1 be-
lieve that If 1t came to a choice they would
rather have independent free coinage than
no action at all. II the seigniorage had
teen coined or something done in the way
OF looking out for silver a great deal of
this present agitation might have been
avoided"
Printers and Civil Service.
What do you think of putting the gov
ernment printing office under civil service
bered that Mr.. Richardson, as chairman of
the House committee on printing. has TAX
en- considerable interest in the shop in the
past.
We'll. I don't know whether that could
be done or not" replied Mr. Richardson
and he smiled in non-committal sort of
way. This reminded him, however, that
the fnterrogator had published the state
ment that Mr.. Rio ohardson has a great deal
OF patronage in the printing Office. He
salo this Is not true. more's the pity. He
lamented, almost with tears in his eyes,
that such is not the case.
WI hat DO you think is the prospect for
getting an appropriation for a new print
ing Office at the next session. he was
asked.
Not Much Show for n New Building.
II doubt very much If a bill can be pass
ed. The question of a site would still be
vexed one. If the owners of the differ
ent sites had not blocked action in Con-
gress several years ago we could have
passed bill, and the building would be
half way up by this time. 1 think the mat
ter Will drag along for a while, and they
will try to make out with the improve
ments now being made on the existing
structure"
We'll. you are not in Washington to have
conference with the gold bugs then?'
asked one of the men.
Why He Came Here.
mo, I am here to see to the preparation
of a publication authorized by Congress.
This Is a compilation of all of the executive
communications of the various Presidents,
their messages. proclamations, vetoes, ETC.
There is no such compilation in existence

MIR. CHOATE's COMMENCEMENT.
Proceedings In the COurt-The Second
Afternoon of the Hearing.

Proceedings In the COurt-The Second
Afternoon of the Hearing.
The arguments on the income tax ques-
yesterday afternoon until after o'clock,
and then, Attotoey General Olney having
concluded and Mr.. Choate having begun
his closing speech the court adjourned.
Mr.. Olney's most significant point, after
The Stars report had closed, was quota
ton of Senator Sherman in resisting, in
1870, the repeal of tho then enforced in
come tax.
He said: when I quote Senator Sher-
man, I cite one who Is possibly as much
of a statesman as any counsel who has
addressed the court in this case and who
even when found defending the principle of
acterize as populist or a communist or
Jacobin or an anarchist"
Mr. Choate in his argument said that as
far as practicable he would take up the
question where 1t had been, left by the
former decision. He did not intend to sur
decision and would regard 1t as settled and
fixed that incomes from municipal and
state bonds could not be taxed.
Mr. Choate ridiculed the position of the
government that a tax on rents was not
tax on land. The decision already render
ed met this objection completely. Accord
Ing to the arguments of the opposition, the
law provided for levy upon anything and
everything as upon money in hand, with
the result that all incomes would be 80
jumbled together that one source could
not be separated from another. He made
torica1 researches. which had been ex-
pressed in pamphlet. Mr.. Choate had
been talking about half an hour when the
court adjourned.

MAYOR STRONG APPROVES.
Why He Favors the Ri-Partlsan Police
nil

ALBANY, N. Y, May S.-The bill for the
reorganization of the police department of
New York city reached the senate today
with the certificates of Mayor Strong's ap-
proval attached. In transmitting the bill
the mayor says that it is accepted by the
city of New York in spite of the serious
objections that have been urged against 1t.
The principal reason which Influenced its
acceptance is given Gs follows:
There is unquestionably an almost uni
versal and sincere belief among the peo-
pie of the state outside of this CITY, as
well as on the part of large number of
our own citizens, that the political party
usually in the minority here ought to have
a representative in the police board, be-
cause that board has great power of
control over elections, and the fair exer-
else of that power Is necessary to prevent
the votes of the people in all parts of the
state for President ard governor from be-
ing nullified by fraud or intimidation here"
