ToHELP PRoH1B1ToRY LAW.
A Measure to Enable County Attor-
ney to Procure Evidence Against
Jointists.

A bill in reference to the giving Of
testimony in cases of violation of the
prohibitory law was introduced in the
senate yesterday afternoon by Senator
Farrelly. The bill amends the present
law by empowering county attorneys
to go before justices of the peace and
nesses in such cases, and afterward to
compel them to give testimony under
penalty of contempt before such magis-
trates. The present law provides that
the county attorneys shall issue the
subpOenas and take testimony them
selves, and two years ago the supreme
court of the state decided that this was
unconstitutional, as it vested too much
power in one officer. AS a result of the
decision, county attorneys have since
been powerless to compel witnesses to
give testimony in cases brought under
the prohibitory law.
Senator Farrelly says that the bill
will be passed before the end of the
session.

ing that in the event of death or resig-
nation of a state printer, a person shall
be appointed by the governor to hold
such Office until the legislature meets

HANNA's STATEMENT.
He Denies that There was Any Truth
In Bribery Charges.

An echo of the bribery proceedings of
Tuesday last was heard in the senate
this morning when he following state
ment from Senator Geo. w. Hanna,
was read under a question of personal
privilege:
Mr. President:-As was necessarily
absent from the first part of the even
ing session of the senate of March 2, 1
did not know at that time that the
newspaper article which had been read
relating to an interview with one of
the senators, in which I, with other SEN
ators, am credited by one r. S Boyd,
as having accepting a bride for support
ing senate bill No. ago. have said moth
ing about this before in the hope that
r. S. Boyd would be apprehended, in
which case I would have been fully eX-
onerated. But as he has not been, 1
feel in justice to myself, I must now
state so far as 1 am concerned the
statement of Boyd is utterly false. 1
have never been offered money for my
vote by Boyd, or any one else for any
measure that is or has been, before the
session of this senate.
