DEADLOCK AT COLUMBUS.
Witnesses Won't Tell a Thing to the
Hanna Investigation Committee.


Columbus, Ohio, Jan 2O.-The inves-
tigation into the charge of bribery in
connection with the recent senatorial
election reached a crisis last night No
matter what may be the final result
of the investigation, there will likely be
several witnesses arrested for con-
tempt.
The committee had seven witnesses
subpoenaed but they were not examined
because none of them would testify.
The senate committee has examined
Samuel Pentland, proprietor of the Neil
house. Frank P. Ross, manager of the
manager of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany, and Shepherd NJ. Dunlap, manag-
er of the Western Union Telegraph
company, who then asked to confer
with their attorneys and were excused
till last night for that purpose. When
they appeared they said their attorneys
held that the senate had no jurisdiction
in the investigation Of the alleged bril-
berry of a member Of the house, and
further questions before the committee
They all followed the advice of their
attorneys as did Mr.. Hollenbeck, who
was not on the stand before.
When the committee found that the
advice of attorneys was being followed
uniformly by all witnesses called, the
proceeding was closed and the commit
tee went into executive session on plans
for further procedure. The senate
mittee, in open session, attempted to
examine witnesses, and the action OF
witnesses caused demonstrations of d.

to tell the names of their counsel and

fnent lawyers had been engaged in the
case.
The members of the house investi-
cation committee were present by invi-
tatiOn and they were requested to ask
questions, but none of them took any
part. Judge Robertson, who has served
with distinction on the bench of Gin
cinnati is a member of the senate COM
rnittee and is prosecutor. He wore
himself out asking questions and get
ting the mOnOtOnOus reply: ION the ad-
vice of counsel decline to answer"
Chairman Burke, Senators Lang and
Fink did their best to draw out the
witnesses, but to no avail. After the
four others took their turns, Senator
Garfield would close each examination
by asking: DO you decline to answer
questions because your attorneys say
this committee mas no jurisdiction in
this case and so have advised?"
The reply was in the affirmative and
the witnesses were excused. Each wit
ness was told that he was held under
service by the committee and should re-
port tonight at 7:30 or sooner if called
AS the committee will make a partial
report to the senate a lively time is
expected. The committee will ask the
senate to punish witnesses for con-
tempt and to give the investigators full
authority.
s. D. HoIIenbeck, member of the Re
publican state executive committee was
among the witnesses called.
HOllenbeck was asked repeatedly if
his son was not in the employment of
Senator Hanna and if his son did not
carry funds from Columbus to Cincin-
natl Representative Otis resides in
Cincinnati and made the charges under
which the investigation was instituted.
He invariabl refused to answer these
questions, doing so, he said, upon the
advice of his attorneys.
Shepherd NJ. Dunlap, manager of the
Western Union Telegraph company
was asked specifically for messages
signed H. d.
Mr.. Dunlap, too, declined to make re-
plies.
Frank P. Ross, manager of the tele-
phone company was asked about H H
Boyce, S. D. Houenbeck and others be-
ing called up at Cincinnati but he de-
clined to answer.
In response to subpoenas Justin
Wright and Harry Ellsworth, telegraph
operators who worked the wire at Han
mas headquarters in the Neil house
were present to testify, but the com
mittee decided at 9 D. m, not to pro-
coed with any more witnesses who were
under the instructions of ATTORNEYS
The committee then went into execu-
tive session to consider the extent of
their jurisdiction in the investigation
and especially in the matter of punish
ing witnesses for contempt.
The committe was in executive ses-
sion from to II o'clock and adopted by
a vote of 1 to I. Garfield voting in the
negative, resolution to refer the whole
matter back to the senate and ask for
further instructions and power.

J. ". Stocks, the English distance
rider, discussing the cycle training ques-

"A very good way OF obtaining sound
opinion from an expert source is to make
a proposal for life insurance, and if tie
medical officer of the company passes
you as first class risk, to be accepted at
normal rates you may safely conclude
that you are sound"
1t is believed that the popularity OF the
wide bar with small drop is caused by
the fact that many of the leading racing
men have used them The wide bar
used by Jimmy Michael last year was
the most striking thing about the wheel
he rode. 1t was also noticeable that
Michael had a very small drop to it,
which enabled him to always have "A
graceful upright position on his machine.
This seemed peculiar to many people
who held the opinion that Il low drop
was conducive to speed. Charlie Miller,
the winner of the last six-day race, used
the wide hande-bar, as did several
others who were well to the front at the
finish.
