SACRAMENTO. Cal, Feb. Milton J.
Green, Grants political manager. who re-
fused to say in which legislative districts he
had spent Grants money during the last
campaign when asked by the special in
vestigating committee, was to have been
brought before the bar of the Assembly to
show cause why he should not be punished
for contempt. Instead a physicians certih-
cate was read, in which it was shown that
Green was too i'll to appear. A communica-
Son from Green was presented to the AS
sembly, however, in which Green said that
he had never at any time given a contribu-
ton of any kind to influence any vote for
the senatOrShip. He referred to the fact
that the committee reported that there was
no t"llegtttmate expenditure of money and
that this report had been adopted. Should
ne at this time answer the question pro-
pounded TO him it would serve no good pur-
pose and would be divulgiug confidential
communications. The question Of sending
Green to jail was discussed. Finally the
speaker was authorized to employ three
physicians and appoint three members of
the Assembly 10 inquire into Green's actual
condition. II Il be found that Green is not
so i'll as has been reported he will in all
probability be imprisoned.
