GRAND JURY AFTER GARDINER.

Want to Know Why He Doesn't Try Homi-
eide Cases the Courts Are Waiting For.
The Grand Jury yesterday sent for District
Attorney Gardiner to ask him why 80 many
persons indicted for homicide had not been
brought to trial promptly. The Grand Jurors
wanted to know how a man indicted over a
year ago could be so far neglected by the Dis
trict Attorneys office as to have been almost
forgotten. There was something wrong some-
where. they believed. because 1t was known to
some OF the members Of the Grand Jury that
on various occasions the Judges OF the General
Sessions had been compelled to adjourn court
within half an hour after opening because no
cases had been put on the calendar as being
ready for trial.
It was stated later in the day that Major
Gardiner tod the Grand Jury Of the immense
amount OF work that had been done within the
past year by the attaches OF his office, ana that
ne also produced records to show that the office
had disrDsed OF a tremendous numberof cases.
He was asked to explain why 1t was that the
Judges Of the General Sessions had 70 murder
sons confined In the Tomb charged with homi-
eide. He was asked to give his reason for put
ting all the homicide cases upon the calendar
of the criminal branch OF the supreme Court.
Supreme Court could handle, only about one
murder trial in n week. and that, while this
court had moro business to attend to thar, 1t
was possible to attend to. the Judges OF the
General Sessions were complaining OF a lack Of
work.
was INSTRUCTED to appear before the Grand WY
Grand Jury to continue the Investigation and
to make inquiries Into. ono OF the. special de-
partments. over which the District Attorney
potency will probably be considered against a
person removable by the District Attorney.

AN11-oUAY MEN CHARGE BRIBERY.
Senator'S Friends Say the Charges Arc
Mado to Influence Public Opinion.

Made to Influence Public Opinion.
HARRISBURG. Pa. Feb. 24.-The House
adopted a resolution to-day to investigate
bribery charges in connection with the Sen
atorial contest. Senator Quay's friends insist
that the bribery stories were deliberately pub
lished on the eve OF the trial to influence pub
lilo opinion and that the investigation OF
these reports OF bribery is part OF the
general anti-Quay campaign. Quay lead
ers say that tho gossip Of attempts at
bribery has been heard in the hotel cor
rIdors and about the CAPITOL for several
weeks. and that 1t will be difficult to convince
fair-minded people that tho sprinRing OF the
charges at this particular juncture IL not timed
for It's effect upon the conspiracy trials in
Philadelphia. The published story gives no
names, but 1t is to the effect that to certain
members of the Legislature various sums were
offered. ranging from $3.50 to $1,000, to, move
reconsideration OF the vote by which, the Nc
Carroll Jury bill was postponed until March p.
The story also intimates that money was OIL
fered for votes for Senator Quay,

ing committee consisting OF two Quay men,

GEN. EAoAv MAY NOT GET pAY.
No Authority In Law to Pay Salary to an
Onlcer Summarized from Rank and Duty.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-Army officers who
claim TO have knowledge OF the subject say
that the COMPTROLLER OF the Treasury will de-
elmo 10 authorize the payment to Brig, Gen.
Charles 7. Eagan. now under susrension from
rank and duty, the salary OF Commlssary-Gen-
eral Of Subsistence. amounting to $500 q
year. The question Of the right Of an army
officer to draw his nay while under suspension
from rank and duty has never heen definitely
decided legally. 1t was not disposed ofsin the
case OF Judge Advocate General Swain. fire.
quently cited as corresponding to that of Gen.
Eagan. because the sentence Of Gen. Swain
said specifically that he was TO receive half nay
during the torn OF his suspension. -
In reducing the sentence OF Gen. Eagan
from dismissal to six years suspension Presi-
dent Mckinley said nothing about the rate Of
pay Gen. Eagan was to receive during his en-
forced retirement. and It was generally accept
ed In military circles that he would get the
full pay OF his office. This opinion has
changed in those quarters OF the War Depart
ment where important military matters are
discussed before being decided. 1t ia said
that there Is no authority for the Secretary Of
War TO sanction the payment OF Gen. Eagan'c
salary and that when he next applies for his
pay'the request will be refused on the ground
that he is not an officer OF the Government.
This will take the question to the Comptroller
Of the Treasury. and some officers. who have
examined statute books and military regula-
tions hold that no authority Ia contained in
them for the payment OF salary to an officer
suspended from rank and duty.
