SPEAKER OF HOUSE SCORED
TOOK MONEY FROM GRANT AND
THEN VOTED FOR BURNS.
Had Coquetted With Three Other Sem
atOrial Candidates-COmmi
Finds That Grant Expend-
ed $4,000 in Pushing
His Candidacy.

SACRAMENTO. CAL. jan 27-The spe-
cial committee appointed to investigate into
scandals connected with the election of
United States senator filed its report to-
day. The committee finds that Howard f.
Wright, speaker of the assembly, received
from L. 8. Grant. through his political
manager. Milton j. Green, $500 as a gift
and $3.50 as a loan; that Wright, prior to his
election. deceived John d. Spreckels and w.
8. Leake to secure their support for the
speakership. stating that he was unpledged
to any senatorial candidate; that, by prom
Using to vote for Robert N. Bulla for United
States senator. he secured Bulla's support
for the speakership: that. by the accept
ance Of Grants money and by the solicita-
tion of Daniel NJ. Burns influence to secure
his election as speaker. Wright led each of
those candidates for United States senator
to expect his vote.
The report further states that Milton j.
Green, the duly appointed and accredited
agent of Z. S. Grant. expended large sums
of money, exceeding in the aggregate sO.-
000, but the exact amount of which Is to
the committee unknown. to secure the cleo

ronage to promote their respective can
didacies.
The committee of investigation recon-
mends:
First-That the conduct of Howard E.
Wright. speaker of the assembly, as above
set FORTH be held to he reprehensible in
an extreme degree, and that no mere CEN
sure on the part of the assembly can meet
thNreQuirements of justice, but the matter
of adequate punishment be left entirely in
the assembly, without recommendation
from the committee.
Second-That the expenditure Of large
sums of money In aid of candidacy for
the United States senatorship In the man.
ner above set forth, is wrong and repre-
hensible, in that it is calculated to corrupt
morals, to debauch the political system, to
deter poor men of ability from entering
upon senatorial campaign. and to give to
the rich an unwarranted and unjustifiable
advantage over men of equal ability and
qualifications ard Of limited means. That
didates from probable senatorial candi-
dates. either directly or indirectly. in aid
of their own candidacy. is reprehensible for
the same reasons.
The report was made special order for
tomorrow, prior to taking the vote for
, United States senator. The vote for United
States senator resulted to-day, similarly to
that Of yesterday.
The effect of the committees report is
yariously estimated. Some insist that it
will tend to break up Grants forces, while
Grants friends insist that 1t will only bind
them together more closely than ever be-
fore.
