FRYING TO SAVE BRlBE RS.
Rhe Grand ury May Not Indict All The
Nrn Accused.

HARRISBURG, June 1S.-The friends
Of the alleged legislative bribers still
profess to believe that the grand jury
will ignore the bills of indictments
against the accused. If their hopes are
realized the cases will fail and all of
the defendants will escape trial. ex-
cept possibly Michael ]. Costello Of
Philadelphia. After Costello has been
tried in Dauphin county for conspiracy
to bribe, information will be made
against him at Willlamsport for COR
rupt solicitation. The tactics of the de-
fense have aroused much feeling among
the adherents of Representative John
Engler and no matter what becomes
of the cases in this county they insist
that he be tried in Lycoming
The friends of the accused are try
ing to prejudice public sentiment in
their favor by telling how unfair 1t is
that Dauphin county should be put to
an expense of $1,000 or $4,000 for these
trials, especially when the legislature
refused to appropriate the money They
are indulging in this talk in the hope
that the grand jurors will take this
view of the matter and ignore the bills.
The cases against Representatives
Engler and Johnson, whom the defense
accuses of perjury, will be laid before
the grand jury next Thursday after
noon, along with those against Costello
and the other alleged bribers. Only
enough testimony will be taken in each
to Justify the prosecution in asking
that true bills be returned. The trials
will continue several days and all of
the defendants will be tried separately
except ex-senator Coyle and Costello,
who will be tried jointly for conspiracy.
There are four informations against
Coyle for coDaPs-solicitation and he
will be tried on these charges before he
is arraigned for conspiracy and per-
jury. After these cases have been dis
posed, of, Representative Charles b
Spatz of Berks county, will be calles
to plead to two charges of corrupt So
licitation. Only one information for
this offense has been made against eX-
Congressman Monroe H. Kulp of Sha-
mokin; Robert Evans and Frank b
Jones of Philadelphia; Parker H. Titus
of Easton; eX-Representative Thomas
NJ. Moyles of Wilkes-Barre and ex-Rep.
resentative John r. Byrne of Everson
Fayette county.
Representative Peter ]. Cristie OF
Northumberland will be the chief wit
ness against Moyles and Representa-
tive Michael E. Brown of Union will be
the star witness in the case against
Kulp.

mons Iu Eleven Rounds.
COMFY ISLAND, June lO.-James ].
Jeffries. another sturdy young giant.
has come out of the west to whip
champion pugilists. At the arena of
the Coney Island Athletic club he de-
feated Robert FitzsimmOns, worlds
champion in two classes-middlewe weight
and heavyweight-in IL rounds of whirl-
wind fighting. He came to the ring a
rank outsider and left 1t the acknowl-
edged master of the man he defeated
He was never at any time In serious
danger, and after the sze-up in the
early rounds of the contest took the
lead and was never headed. He had
the Australian whipped from the ninth
round and would have ended it in the
tenth but for the lack of time.
1t was acknowledged that Jeffries
would have an immense advantage in
weight, and age, but the thousands who
tipped and backed his opponent to win
were sure that he was slow and that
he would in that respect be absolutely
at the mercy Of the postmaster at the
science of fighting that he was to meet.
He proved on the contrary that he
was just as fast as the man he met and
beat him down to unconscious defeat
in fair fight. He is a veritable giant
in stature and marvellously speedy for
his immense size

SEARCH FOR DIAMONDS,
Biologists Hope to BE Able to Discover
Field of the Precious Gems.


MILWAUKEE, June 13.-Professor
w. II. Hobbs of the university of Wis
consin, assisted by score of geologists
throughout the great lake regions,
have begun survey of gravel ridges
in Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New
York, Minnesota and Michigan, with
the view of locating the origin of dia-
monds that have been found in various
parts Of the country from time to time.
Professor Hobbs believes that the
diamonds come from some place in
Canada, and considers it possible that
the survey may help to locate that
place. They were, he believes, brought
down by the glaciers, and by tracing
them back their birthplace may be
found.
Seventeen genuine diamonds have
been found along these gravel ridges In
lake regions. The investigation will be
made under the direction of the Wiscon-
sn Geologists' survey.
