plantations win Be Necessary.
TOPEKA, Kan, April 11.-When the
bribery investigation committee adj
journed Thursday, Senator L. D.
Lewelling, Representative Frank H.
Smith and ex-Representative Dave
Hanna were in disgrace. When the
committee adjourned yesterday Level
ling was deeper in disgrace than ever,
Hanna was where Representative
Metzler had left him, and
Smith had changed places with
Representative Clark, who made
the charge of attempted bribery
against him. dwellings additional
troubles were caused by a brother
Senator-Titus-wbo swore that Lew
cling sought to corrupt him by hold
ing out dishonest inducements for him
to work against the school bill. This
charge, coming on the top of the coal
lands story, told Thursday by Warden
Lands OF the penitentiary, created a
profound sensation and furnished Lew
cling material for an explanation
which will be most interesting.
