FOR THE LABOR FAIR
Arrangements Made BY the Rock
Island Industrial Asso-
citation.
TO BE HELD AT ROLLER RINK

Two Weeks. Beginning Feb. go, Attrac-
tive Entertainment to BE Provided Each
Night, Proceeds to BE Applied on the
Indebtedness Remaining on the Build
ing.
Labor's annual fair, under the aus
pices of the Rock Island Industrial
Home association, will be held at the
old roller skating rink, Sixteenth
street and Fifth avenue, for two
weeks, beginning Feb. 20.
Final arrangements were made for
the fair at a meeting of the associa-
ton held last night. Committees to
plan entertainment, sell floor space,
solicit donations, etc were appointed,
and the machinery that it requires to
operate an enterprise of such magni-
tude set going, in order that every
thing shall be in readiness when the
date of the opening night arrives.
As is well known to the public, the
labor organizations of Rock Island
several years ago united in an asso-
citation for the purpose of erecting
building of their own, where they
might hold their meetings and social
gatherings. Funds sufficient TO
launch the project were gotten to-
gether and structure that is n credit
to the city and its builders is the re-
suit. 1t stands on Third avenue and
Twenty-first street, and is known as
abor's home.
To Wipe Out Debt.
There is yet considerable indebt-
edness on the building, and the asso-
citation, with the assistance of the
public, hopes by the holding of fairs
annually 70 wipe this out. The fairs
have always been a success-and it is
the purpose of the association to make
the coming one the largest and most
creditable yet held.
The cooperation of the merchants
and the people generally will be asked,
as usual, and each night an interest
ing program will be presented.

BuLLA IS, BARNES IL.
Neither Burns Nor Grant Hurt by
Yesterdays Joint Ballot.

After all has been said, there is still
no Senator-eIect to succeed the Hon
Stephen NJ. White.
There was a mild furry in the joint
session of the Legislature yesterday-a
suspicion of excitement, the first since
the halloting began.
There was no break, SO far as the
leading possibilities-Burns and Grant
are concerned, but a gathering in of a
few of the scattering votes, votes which
had before been cast for isolated can
didates. showed gain Of four for Bulla
and one for Barnes.
The Burns and Grant forces stood
stanch and each and every one of them
voted for the candidate of his first
choice, but that there was an uneasy
feeling abroad was evidenced by the
fact that the loiterers-some of them
at least-got into the camp of men
whose following ranked a notch higher
than those they had formerly fol-
lowed.
The shifting, which was not at all in
the nature of break" came on the
first ballot. When the name of Sena-
tor Gillette of Humboldt, who had from
the first cast his vote for George A.
Knight, was called, he named Bulla,
for choice, and there was considerable
hand clapping among the followers of
the Los Angelan. Down the roll to
Taylors name there were no fatalities,
but he who had been answering in his
faith in the interests of ex-Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court Van r.
Paterson, also switched over to Bulla's
corner, and the latter gained two from
the House of which he is a member.
In the Assembly the first change came
early Speaker pro tenn Anderson, who

which he telde them that libel suits
against paper amounted to nothing
a shotgun being better article.
Witness said he branded the entire
rumor gross falsehood, and was later
informed BY one OF the reporters that
they did not intend to use the story.
Later he had met Mr.. Green in a cor
ridor of, the Capitol, and the latter alb
solutely denied ever having made any
such statement. Green had expressed
a desire to- state under oath that he
had never been offered any induce
ments by any one to cast his vote for
a Senatorial candidate. Witness said
he had frequently visited the head
quarters OF the various Senatorial can
dfdates. smoked their cigars and re-
ceived their kindly considerations and
chatted with them about their chances.
He had no personal knowledge of any
money having been spent IN MS dls-
| trict to secure his election, although
such might have been the case, put
no one had personally made him any
offers.
At one time Green had shown him a
| list of legislators who he claimed STOOD
pledged to vote for Grant. AT this
time he was looking over the ground
| in order to judge of the fitness OF the
various candidates for Senator, and as
he had expressed no opinion he was
not admitted to the inner. circle, but
was treated as an outsider.
| Then Attorney Bacon asked the wit
ness a series of exhaustive questions,
which failed to bring to light anything
material.
| Burnett expressed a desire to have
M. H de Young, John D. Spreckels and
| Mr. Herrin subpenaed- This caused
considerable discussion, and motion
was made to that effect. Roll-caH was
| demanded by Mellick, who voted aye,
| and gave notice of reconsideration, all
| the other members voting in favor OF
| the motion.
Attorney Bacon then addressed the
board, and desired to have some wit
nesses s.bpenaed, and gave his reasons
for so doing, and objected strongly to
any of the Senatorial candidates being
called to the witness stand to refute
charges that have never been brought
against them. He named as his wit
nesses Speaker pro tenn. Anderson and
lC. G. Lamberson of Visalia, and said
he had heard that some party from
Sacramento had telephoned to Mr..
Lamberson and asked him if he had
said that Chairman Cosper had told
him that he was offered $4,000 for his
vote, and he had answered yes" Now,
he Bacon) desired to know If there
was any truth in this rumor.
It was decided to call the witnesses.
On motion, it was agreed to request
the Assembly to furnish room in
which to continue the investigations. 1t
was also agreed to withhold the issu-
ance of subpenas until to-day's meet
| ing.
An adjournment was then taken un-
| til 1U o'clock to-day. Yt

all along had voted for the old war
rior. Morris NJ Estee, cast his ballot
for General w. H. L. Barnes, thus In
creasing his total vote by a unit, and
moment later, Assemblyman Boynton
disngured the count and got the tally
sheets at fault by voting for Bulla-
He, with Senator Gillette. had been an
admirer of George A. Knight, and the
result OF the matter was that Knights
name was dropped from the roll.
The last man to change was La Ba-
rec. He, with Senator Taylor, had as
siduously voted for Van r. Paterson,
but when he cast his vote for Bulla-
Paterson's name also dropped out Of the
ranks and his camp was deserted.
A second ballot was taken, but no
other voters expressed any desire to
change, and a halt was called.
The Democrats sat quietly by and as
they watched the fun, put in votes fol

Some mana friend of Mr.. Merrill's-
applied to him for assistance, and the
latter accompanied him to D. M. Burns
office, where the latter gave him a
note to Herrin that procured the trans
portation.
Witness said that information had
been given him that Assemblyman
Cosper had gone to Green or some OF
his authorized agents, and told them
that the Burns people had offered him
Sc, 600 to vote for Burns, and that as
Grant was his preference, if he did
so, thought that he should be re1m-
bursed to that extent.
Levings said he had sent two re-
porters to interview Cosper, and the
latter denied all knowledge of the busi-
ness, and said it was false. He could
not remember who had given him the
information, as he had dismissed the
matter from his mind when he found
it to be false.
COSPER, TOO.
In view of the statement made by
Levings, Chairman Cosper was sworn
and said that on Sunday afternoon last
he was in his room with his wife doing
some work, when two parties called fol
an interview He told them that any
interview had with him must be in
the presence OF his wife. He SAID
they told him that there was a ru1noi

that witness had approached him with
the statement that Burns had Offered
him $4,000 for his vote, and that ht
