Special Dispatch to The Call

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 10.-State Sem
ator Fred Whiteside Of Flathead Coun-
| ty turned over to the bribery investi-
eating committee of the Senate to-day
thirty bills of the denomination of $1,000
which he swore had been given to him
for the purpose of buying votes for w.
A. Clark of Butte for United States
| Senator. The bills were made an ex-
hibit Of the Investigation.
Whiteside said he went to John B.
| Welcome, a Butte attorney supposed
| to represent Mr.. Clark, and intimated
that he would take money and vote for
| Clark and for more money would get
| three other members to do likewise. He
| sWears he did all this for the sole and
virtuous purpose Of exposing corrup-
| ton and doing a noble duty in the
service of the State
The bribery committee was appointed
| yesterday at the instigation of the enc
mics of Mr.. Clark. At 10 o'clock the
| committee, composed Of the enemies Of
| Mr. Clark, was ready to report with
| the doodle money" as it claimed in
| hand. and the evidence of Whiteside
| and State Senator w. A Clark of Ma
son County, not related to the candi-
| date for United States Senator; Sena-
| tor Meyers of Ravalli County and Rep
| resentative V. Carr of Flathead County.
| All swore they had accepted bride
money for the purpose Of exposing
| bribery. The money was ordered turned
over to the State Treasurer.
| Among other points made out by
| Whiteside in his testimony was the
| alleged fact that a Republican vote
was worth $4,000, while Democratic votes
were a bargain at $4,000 and he him
| self was to receive much more than
that If he was successful in the work
which he claimed to be interested in.
Whiteside said he approached Mats
| and John r. ToCle to see if he could not
get hold of a few thousands of DAILY 8
money, but that these gentlemen said
they had no money to spend in that
way. He said that William McDer-
mott of Butte had threatened to Kill
any one who revealed anything regard
ing the giving or taking of brides.
Friends of Mr.. Clark deny in toto the
story of Whiteside and declare the
whole a damnable scheme put up by
| Anaconda people. They are strong in
their charges of conspiracy, the result
of which was the Whiteside episode OF
to-day. The Anaconda people have
waged war for the political exterml-
nation of Mr. Clark for years, but the
| latter's friends are surprised by this
latter incident and say they will really
reinforce and elect Mr.. Clark in few
days They claim counter evidence to
| fully offset that produced to-day.

MAY SELL LIQUOR
NEAR THE PRISON
Warden Hale Vainly Appeals to a
Grand Jury to Drive Saloons
From San Quentin.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 10-The saloons
conducted at San Quentin without licenses
have proved such a thorn in the side of
Warden Hale that he has applied to the
Grand Jury for relief, but in vain. The
Warden has tried various methods Of rid
ding the town of what are alleged to be
nuisances of the worst description. but
in each attempt some technicality has
proved a battling obstacle.
The law requires that no saloons be
permitted within 200 yards of the gates of
any State institution. Despite this two
have existed at San Quentin, within few
hundred yards of the gates, fer several
years. In his charges made to the Grand
Jury the Warden complained that in
addition to the evils accompanying the
liquor traffic generally prisoners had been
known to visit these resorts and spend
every cent given them upon being re-
leased from Incarceration, the result being
that the freed men become intoxicated
and upon their arrival in this city were
placed in Jail.
After due consideration of the complaint
of the Warden the Grand Jury decided
that as such cases were simply misde-
meauors that body had no jurisdiction.
Accordingly that official will have to APP
ply for relief in some other quarter; His
intention now is to call the matter to the
attention of Attorney General Ford.
The Grand Jury handed in its report
to-day. Many subjects are treated, the

EMIL G. LEVY NOW
SAN J0SE'S TREASURER
Appointment of the Young Business
Man Confirmed by the Coun-


SAN JOSE, Jan. 10.-Emil G. Levy a
prominent young business man, was
this afternoon named for City Treas
urer by Mayor Martin and the Council
at once confirmed the appointment
This broke the deadlock that has exist
ed for nearly week between the
Mayor and Council because of the lat
ter's refusal to confirm J. F. Colombet
for the Office. The city treasury will
open in the morning and the city bust
ness will proceed. 1t has been closed
since J. n. Ewing's death on December
81.
The appointment of Levy came as a
surprise to the politicians. He has
been associated with his brother in the
clothing business and taken very little
interest in politics. Levy is well quail
fed and his appointment will give gen
eral satisfaction. In politics he is
Democrat.
Last night the city was in total dark
ness, and to-day belated citizens were
complaining bitterly of it. This eclipse
condition was brought about by a
shortage Of finances, which caused the
city to reduce the number of lights.
The lighting companies refused to put
in bids the first of the year. Up to
last night the Electric Improvement

free until the contract could be award
ed. The Council was dilatory in act
ing, and last night the company re-
fused to light the city. 1t was thought
there would be darkness the rest of the
month, but to-day the Electric I'm
provement Company offered to light the
city the rest of the month for $25 a
night, which is just half of the old rate.
This was accepted and a vote Of
thanks rendered the company.

DRAW A GORDON
ABOUT THE ISLANDS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-There is
some reason to believe that the present
situation in the Philippines may be
protracted longer than would be nat
urally expected. The question has
arisen here as to the exact purpose to
be served in attempting to seize Iloilo.
Originally it was intended TO release
the Spanish force there besieged, but
by their evacuation of the place they
have removed that incentive and were
1t not for the false encouragement it
would give the insurgents there is no
doubt the United States troops would
not be moved against Iloilo. Meanwhile
the navy is expected to draw Gordon
around the island of Panay and also
Luzon, should it be deemed necessary
to do so, to prevent the further supply

PLATT TO ANSWER
SENATOR HOAR

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The bitter
personal attack made by Senator Hoar
of Massachusetts, on Senator Plat of
Connecticut yesterday in his speech
against expansion made stir in politi-
cal circles. Plat stated yesterday that
he would reply to Mr.. Hoar's personal
attack upon himself. He will be re-
quested not to do so, at any rate until
after the vote on the ratification of the
treaty has been secured. 1t is under
stood that the programme of the sup
porters of the President is to stop talk
ing after a few set speeches are made
and press forward for a vote. This
course was pursued after a certain
stage had been reached in the debate
on Hawaiian annexation last summer.

SUISUN, Jan. 10.-The Supreme Court
has reversed the decision of the Superior
Court of Solano County in the case OF
William Gridley Toland. respondent, VS..
Hugo H. Toland ct al, appellants. The
plaintiff brought action to quiet his title
to the undivided half of certain land in
the county of Solano, claiming it by sue
cession from Mary B. Toland, who died
on November a. 1895. In answer to the
plaintiffs claim the defendants allege
that Mrs Toland made a testamentary
disposition of the land. and that they are
the beneficiaries under her will, setting
forth in their answer copy of the will.
Plaintiff demurred to this answer, and his
demurrer having been sustained, judg-
ment was entered in his favor, from which
defendants appealed. This judgment was
reversed by the Supreme Court.

HAVANA, Jan. 10.-Although disap-
pointed that no definite announcement
is made of American intentions. the
Cubans remain quiet. Their policy
seems to be one of inactivity until the
future is cleared. Their armies will not
disband, as the Cuban leaders are OBJ
posed to any return to work until they
know the exact intention of the men
they now look upon as intruders. The
Cuban chiefs are entering vigorous
protest because the Americans are en-
ticing some Of their men from their
ranks by promises of employment.
