PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 5.-Today' s
session of the senatorial investigation
committee assumed a sensational as

Gale, former secretary of the Mutual
Automatic Telephone company, a, con-
Germ which secured valuable franchises
from the city through, it is alleged

both branches, was the states wit
ness.
Mr.. Gale said that he had been given
six thousand shares of certificates of the
stock, with instructions TO DIVIDE INTO
seveaUty-five certificates of six shares
each, twenty-five certificates of twenty
shares each, four certificates of five
hundred shares each, and two ceutifi-
Gates of 1,525 shares each. These last

political leader of this city, and State
Senator Charles A. Porter.
The two five hundred, shares ceTtifi-
Gates were afterwards divided irl.o
fifty lots of fifty shares each. The

to the Republican city committee
rooms and gave them to Mr.. Martin.
The latter said, according to the wit
ness. that Gale would have to endorse
the certificates. The witness testified
that he went over to the office of Tax
Receiver Taylor in company with
James Handey. Then he said he re-

George Perscfl, who was in the en-
ploy of the Mutual Automatic COM

described how the stock was ''split up, =
and said he was at the Office of the
company when Mr.. Martin called TO
get the certificates. The witness then
told how he had gone to New York
during the investigation of the tele-
phone scandal, and detailed various
sums of money which he alleged had
been paid to him by Mr.. Martin. Will

THE THIEVES OF TODAY.

l may be in error, but in my
humble judgment he who would
rob a man of his necessary
food or pollute the spring ait
which he quenches his thirst,
or steal away from him his
accustomed rest, or condemn
his mind to the gloomy night
of ignorance, is no more an
enemy of his race than the
man who, deaf to the entrea-
ties of the poor and blind to
the suffering he would cause,
seeks to destroy one of the
money metals given by the
Almighty to supply the needs
of coqnmerce.-Wiliiam Jen-

ticket, the Democratic convention will
put a complete state ticket in the field.

New Chapter OF the Old, Old Big Fortune
Story
SACRAMENTO, March 6.-Albert, Alexan-
der and Herbert Becker, employees in the
railroad shops in this city, today received
news from Ohio notifying them that they
had suddenly fallen into great fortune.
Away back near the beginning of the
present century the Becker family moved
west and located in what was then the
wilds of Ohio. The elder Beckers were
contemporaneous with Daniel Boone. The
father of the Becker brothers of this city.
Louis S. Becker, owned fifty acres. which
are now included in the heart of the thriv-
ing and populous city of Ash tabula, the
county seat of Ashtabula county in the
northeastern portion of the state.
His father died many years ago without
making out the necessary papers. The
son claimed the property as the sole heir
and the matter has been III litigation for
the past twelve years.
Yesterday Herbert Becker received dis
patch from the county clerk, who, by the
way, is his brother. Informing him that the
supreme court had decided in favor of the
father, who now has absolute title. 1t car
ries with it all the Improvements, which in
clude two theaters. several bank buildings,
three or four large hotels, churches with
out number and miles upon miles of streets
built solely with four and hve-story blocks.
Ii is hard to estimate the value of the
property, but it cannot be much short of
S25 100000. The three brothers will get
it all. Their father is old and feeble and
now resides in Canada.

Million Drawn From the Sub-Treasury
and Promptly Put Back
New YORK, March 6.-The Illinois Cen
trail railroad withdrew $l,O00,O0O from
the sub.treasury today. The gold was de-
posted in the company's bank. Stuyve-
SAINT Fisk, president of the railroad COM
pany, said the withdrawal had no reference
to the government bond operations and
was not on that account. 1t is understood
that the railroad company had some gold
loans to pay and that an attemptwas made
to make them pay a commission for the
gold, payment in gold being enforced, not
wiIhstanding the present conditions. The
company refused to pay the commission
and withdrew the gold from the sub
treasury. 1t is known the same amount of
gold was turned into the treasury again by
the bank in which it was deposited by the
railroad, but this deposit had no reference
to the railroad company but was done in
pursuance of special arrangement with
the treasury, the bank being one of the
special depository banks for the new gov
ernment loan.

1t consisted of just eight people
and all of them went on

advertised the reduced rates on his own
responsibility, expecting that the roads
would get into fight and that he would
then be able to get the rates he had
promised The roads lost no time in get
