The Investigation Continued.
EN-Gov. Dillingham; Corrects Statement

Foolish Idea OF His Duties.

The investigation was continued Wed.
nesday night. j. w Sault, who was GOV.
CIRCUITS secretary of civil and military al
fairs, was asked in regard TO a bill Of SIS,
which was for work filing and arranging
official documents. Mr.. Sault thought
the work was outside the regular duties OF
his office.
Quartermaster General Gilmore told at
length OF the duties of his office in visiting
each company headquarters four times a
year, renting arInories, arranging musters,
arranging excursions outside the state for
the governor and staff, etc. He had never
charged for clerk hire or made any charge
outside his regular salary.

of the Inauguration of Gen. Washington
was attended by commission appointed
by me. A public subscription was raised
to pay the expenses of the militia on that
occasion. The total expense was S914 rs

order for payment to the account of Old

no statute for allowing this claim, but

that the governors approval was law.
EX-Secretary of State Brownell was in

cation, travelling expenses to Montpelier,

tanned that he had only charged moderate
expenses, whereas other commissioners

AT LEAST TWENTY
Republican Majority in Next House Q
Representatives.
Business interests Of The Country Are Safe
For Eight Years al Least.

Washington, Nov. l0.-Chairman Bab-
cock Of the Republican committee said
today the Republicans will have a
majority OF 20 i'm the next house. He
figured only on IL last night but is now
convinced that the manifest DRIFT in the
west when the returns are all In WIN
show that enough districts, now doubt
full. have been carried TO swell the MAJ
jority TO 20. Mr. Babcock says that
the gains i'm the west are due 10 the de-
sire OF the people to endorse the admin
istration and 10 express their satisfac-
tion over the return OF prosperity. The
Republicans carried five districts west
OF the Missouri which they hardly
hoped for, but they were Offset by the
loss of four districts in New York and
one OF the two last i'm Massachusetts,,
SO that Mr.. Babcock's original calcula-
tions as TO the result proved approx
imately correct.
Mr.. Babcock says that the public
hardly realizes the fun extent OF the
Republican victory on Tuesday. Even
more important. ne says. than the fact
that the next house viii be Republican
is the sweeping change i'm the senate,
where the fruits OF Tuesdays election
will give the Republicans Is majority,
THAT majority cannot possibly be
overcome for eight years, said Mr..
Babcock "and for al least that period
the business interests of the country
are safe. Republican policies must pre-
vail for that length Of time.

COL. PEASE'S SUIT.
He Seeks 10 Recova Balance Of $3.50 From
Woonsooksl Reporter Co.

The trial of the suit OF Leroy b. Pease.
formerly editor and publisher OF the
Woonsocket Evening Reporter. against
the corporation OF which he was for
years president, was begun this morn
ing before Judge Wilbur and jury.
Col Pease seeks To recover balance
of s26l0 alleged To be due for salary
money advanced TO pay legal and other
expenses. and for interest.
In June 1890, the corporation was
formed for the purpose OF carrying on
the publication of the Woonsocket Re
porter. which Col. Pease had published
and edited for many years. The stock
OF the corporation was divided into 800
shares. col. Pease held 800 of these
shares. COL. T.. Charles Francis l75
and Arthur Pease % shares. The cap
ital was $4,000. 1t is claimed by Col.
Pease that Col. T.. Charles Francis
told him the expenses of securing the
incorporation Of the company would be
repaid. These amounted To some 5000
and COL pease after the organization
of the corporation was not only it's
president but he was hired for a period
of i've years az editor and publisher AT
n salary Of $50 n week Near the con-
clusion OF that period Col. Pease adj
vanced $1,000 for the purchase OF some
linotype machines, and this money he
drew from the corporation from time To
time. and now all he claims Is interest
on that sum. Another item for which
the plaintiff thinks the defendant
should recoup him is the payment OF
1925 expenses I'm defending libel suits
begun on account OF certain facetious
remarks made by him on the commit
tee I'm charge OF a newspapers poor
children's excursion some years ago.
As tO the salary the plaintiff contends
that In 1925 he agreed on consideration
of n dividend OF IS cents a share bclnr
paid. 60 ask no salary for a year that
these dividends were continued until
September. 1896. and then stupped
there being but ono after that that
year. though plaintiff continued until
Nav 1897. as editor OF the paper.
The defendants claim is that Col.
Pease agreed 60 deliver the papers free
OF any expenses OF incorporation. that

claim. u being nearly eight years over

loan $1,000 on new machines he drew the
