TOPEKA, Kan, June l4.-The bribery
investigating committee appointed by
the Legislature to investigate charges
against members met here Saturday
to consider the question of continuing
the investigation. In view of the de-
cision of the supreme court that the
committee had no power to commit
witnesses who refused to testify it was
decided to abandon the investigation.
\ report was accordingly filed with
the Governor stating that the commit
tee was unable to proceed owing to
the attacks on its legality and the
Limitation of its power. but expressing
the belief that the evidence already
taken was sufficient to show that the
Legislature was surrounded by an or
ganizcd. corrupt lobby. The report
also says:
I'VE believe that the presence OF
lobbyists in legislative halls in such
numbers as custom has permitted to
accumulate each year is menace to
the rights of the people, disgrace to
the state and an unmitigated nuis-
ance, and recommend that a law be
passed declaring such action to be
mlsdemeanor. We believe that the
failure of the last Legislature to pass
certain laws was due to corrupt infiu-
enccs welded by corporations,
amounting to complete purchase OF
members in some cases, and we be-
lieve the necessity for such laws is just
as great now as then, and recommend
that special session be called for that

GOLD EXPORTS IN VIEW.
Shipments Likely to Be Mat3 In

Not Due TO Conditions In This Coun.
try but TO tho situation in
London.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Tribune
this morning says: There 10 a pros
poet OF gold exports In the near future.
Ii will not be surprising II shipments
are made within the next ten days.
Until very recently IL was thought
that no gold would 60 to Europe this

While the postei rate for dema nd
was unchanged yesterday the actual
rate wns .dvanced one-eighth of q coat
from s4s5s o S4s75
The BAuk OF Els lands charge for
gold bars is about one penny au ounce
above tie normal figure, ana any
additional measure which II may adopt
to protect It's own supply OF gold will
almost surely result In gold being
drawn from America.
For another thiuS, the stock OF bills
OF exchange In New York which two
or three months ago was lRrge-sp-
pIoximating at one time Sl00, 900, 900
counting the bills hypotnscated Tor
loans, has been reduced TO between
IS, 1000, 900 anu $4,000, 900. This is the
tune OF year when there Is large
call Tor bills by commercial remitterH
and the amount OF new bills Offering
is not enough for their requirements.
1t 10 idle 10 attempt 10 say how much
gold will leave this country between
Ifis date and July LIST, but whatever
1t may be 1t can realty be spared.
There Is very large accumulation OF
gold here. The gold resefvs In the
United States treasury aggregates
Sl54 900, QUO. The associated bsuks OF
New York hold SIS, 100000 OF which a
little over So, 0UO,OOO la deposited in
the vaults OF the clearing house.
Even should the gold to be sent abroad
be tasen from the treasury reserve the
loss Of S2O, 1000, 600 or $50, 600, 900 would
still leave the government with an
angle store.
While the orders for the gold will
come from London, this shipments Will
probably DO made to Japan and Aus.
tris direct. Accordingly a large part
OF the shipment may be made from
San Francisco. Japan and Austria
are acquiring gold TO place themselves
on gvid currency basis.
