LOOKING FOR BRIBERY
Investigation Into Election of Senator
Hanna in Progress.

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 23.-The legis
latiye committee continued it's inves-
LEGATION Saturday of the Otis charges
Of bribery in the recent election Of
United States senator. Representative
Otis, who resides here and who made
the charge of bribery, was not present.
Representative Rutan, Spellmyer and
Kenney of the house were present with
Senators Burke, Long, Robinson,
Finck and Garfield during the eXamin-
atoms. Representatives Bowel and
Rankin of F'ayette were absent. Sena-
tors J. J. Sullivan was here with At
torneys Harry NJ. Daugherty and Cy-
rus Huling, representing the defense.
1t has been stated that Sulli-
vans right to vote in the senate will
be questioned on the ground that he
has been an attorney in the case
Senator Sullivan said if he is disQual-
flied Senator Burke and the demo-
cratic members Of the committee will
be disqualified on the same ground
and no report can be adopted.
Horace B. Dunbar, president and
manager of the Gibson house, who
! bad already been examined at length,
was recalled. He produced further
records showing that Henry H. Boyce
! of New York, H. H. Hollenbeck of
/ Chardon, O., E. H. Archer of Column
bus, Jared P. Bliss of Columbus, and
others connected on both sides with
! the senatorial contest at Columbus,
were guests at the Gibson house from
Jan. to 10. Mr.. Dunbar testified
| that H. H. Boyce had the key to his
private Office upstairs in the hotel
and used the private telephone while
the clerks had the conversations taken
down from the telephone in the gen
eral office down stairs. Mr.. Dunbar
presented the unpaid telephone bills
Of Boyce. By Boyce using the pri-
vate telephone in the Gibson house the
telephone company had trouble in
making out It's bills. The telephone
bills presented to Dunbar for payment
were produced. These bills gave the
records when Boyce, Hollenbeck
Bliss. Allen o. Myers, Jr., and others
in Cincinnati called up Dick, Rath-
bone, Kurtz, Allen o. Myers. Sr.
and others in Columbus, giving the
time and charges. Mr.. Dunbar then
testified further to conversations
which he had already given in his
evidence as taking place between his
hotel in Cincinnati and the senatorial
mana gers in Columbus.

DIVORCE FOR TALLMAN

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Dr. Lewis Tall
man, formerly physician Of the Great
Northern hotel, and who disappeared
for time about a year ago under SEN
s2tional circumstances, has filed an ap
plication for divorce from his second
wife, Jane Mckinley Common Tallman.
Shortly after DR.. Tallman's disap-
pearance, his first wife, widely known
as a newspaper writer under the name
of Teresa Dean, got divorce.
DR.. TalIman's reasons for asking fol
divorce are somewhat unique. He
says he was married to Jane Mckinley
Cannon at Fargo, N. D., Dec. II, 1896
while they were both confused and
sick and irresponsible mentally from
the effects of drinking a bottle of
wine which they supposed to be pure,
but which the doctor alleges contained
poisonous drugs. The wine DR.. Tall
man says made them temporarily in
sane and incompetent to enter into a
contract of any kind.

MONEY USED IN OHIO.
so LANDLORD DUNBAR TELLS IN.
VESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
He Repeats Alleged Conversations of
Hanna Men-Boyce Threatens 10
Kill Otis If Betrayed.

| Cincinnati, Jan. 22.-The Iegisla-
| tive committee investigating the bri-
berry charges held a session here last
night. Horace B. Dunbar, president
and manager Of the Gibson house,
was the only witness examined. He
produced the hotel register showing
that Henry H. Boyce Of New York,
who is charged with making the prop
OsitiOn Of bribery to Otis, occupied
room 226, from January to 10. Dun
bar was suspicious and had his clerks
watch Boyce. All the conversations
Shane and Boyce had were taken down
in shorthand. The telephones in the
Gibson house are all on one circuit.
Dunbar recited many Of these CONVEX
sations over the telephone. In one
of them the mayor called up at
Columbus and said: "Shane and the
president will arrange things Satur-
day" Boyce replied: Have seen
one party. Wants money. How can
handle him?' The reply from Col
umbus was: Suppose o. betrays
you; what them" Dunbar said that
Boyce replied: mo danger; I would
kill him; dead men tell no tales"
Dunbar testified that Allen o. Mey-
ers, Jr., who was in Columbus as one
of the managers against Hanna, was
called up Friday, January Z, by Jerry
Bliss and told the situation here and
what Boyce was doing. Myers advised
Bliss that a man named Hollenbeck
would leave Columbus for Cincinnati
that night with money and to have
him watched. The next morning q
detective was employed to watch Boyce
and keep track Of HOllenbeck On his
arrival. On January Hollenbeck reg
istered at the Gibson house for break
fast. He was seen to communicate
with BOyce. Hollenbeck was then
traced to the different places of meet
ing as charged by Otis Sunday night
Boyce complained to Dunbar thai he
was being watched. After paying his
bill Monday and before departing,
Boyce told Dunbar that if he wanted
to win some money to bet on Hanna.
When the testimony of Dunbar vas
concluded the committee adjourned till
today when the stenographer, clerks
and others in the hotel will be exam
ined.

RAILROADS SWINDLED.
Chicago Police Think They've Dis
covered a Big Cheat.

Chicago, Jan. %. -While looking up
evidence against w. H. Blase, a ticket
broker at POP Clark street, the police
have found in one Office bogus passes
mostly editorial, which apparently rep
resent $4,000 that has been secured
from unsuspecting strangers. The
discovery has led to the belief that 9
band of swindlers in the guise O.
ticket brokers is in existence in Chica-
go and reaping a harvest by the sale
of bogus tickets. The case which lee
to the Investigation and which may
lead to a number of arrests, was that
Of John Wallace of JACKSONVILLE, o.,
who went before the grand jury and
had Blase arrested on charges Oh
swindling Wallace reached Chicago
a week ago Ell route to Dakota ano
was directed, SO he says, to Blase's
ticket office. Wallace bought a pass
TO his destination, paying $3.50 for it
and was told to call at o'clock for tn
pass. Blase's Office was locked at that
hour ana when Wallace called the next
day he was told the transportation
had expired and $3.50 was demanded
for another pass, which was paid.
Wallace says he was given piece OF
pasteboard marked editorial pass -
stamped with the supposed seal of the
Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul road,
and was directed to General Manager
Miller Of the road, who, he was in
formed, would endorse the ticket. Mr..
Miller, however, took UP the ticket and
later showed to the police $4,000 worth
of bogus transportation which had &C
cummulated in the past two years.
From their general appearance they
all came from one person. 1t is said
the names Of a number OF ticket bro
kers alleged TO be implicated are in
possession OF the railroad officials and
will be brought to the attention Of the
grand jury.

New York, Jan. 2.-Bradstreets'
weekly trade report says the large
measure of activity in business and
industrial lines with, in some in
stances, previous records surpassed
and a very general steadiness in prices
of staples, is perhaps the most notable
feature of the trade situation this
week. Quotations on cereals show
most aggressive strength, while those
On some makes Of pig iron betray
rather a more decided weakness than
they did a week ago. Mild weather
tends to check the retail distribution of
seasOnable goods. The spring trade
opens glOwly, but confidence is still I'M
impaired. The immense current pro-
duction of pig iron, amounting to fully
100000 tons per month, has begun t.
exercise an influence upon the price of
that staple, but decreases are reported
as still only fractional. The outlook
in the steel rail trade is fattering
Large orders for railroad account al
ready booked were increased within the
week. Higher prices for wool abroad,
based partly on short yield reports,
are reflected in the frmness of domes-
I tic quotations. The industrial situa-
ton with the single exception of the
cotton industry is one Of exceptional
strength. Quite a shrinkage in cereal
exports are indicated by reports to
Bradstreets this week. The total
shipments Of wheat from the United
States and Canada amounted to only
3,926,000 bushels against 5,229,O0O last
week and 2,916,00O for this week a
year ago. Indian corn exports also
! show heavy falling off amounting to
, only 3,486,O00 this week against 4,461,-
0GO last week, and 100000 last year
The total bank clearings CT the prin-
cipal cities in the United States for the
week were s1,416, 781,122, an increase
Of &c. 5 per cent, as compared with the
I CORE spending week Of last year.
