Salt Lake City, Utah March The
committee appointed by the legislature
to investigate the charges of bribery
made by Representative Law against
A. w. McCnne, made its report to the
legislature yesterday at 4:40 p IN.
There were two reports, and today
they will be acted upon by the legisla-
tUre
The findings of the majority of the
committee, Senator Whitney and Rep
resentatiyes Mansfield, Cummings, Sor-
ensoa and Stewart, were as follows:
-. In the matter of the charge of
bribery preferred by Representative
Law against A. W. McCune, we find,
after the most careful consideration,
that the charge is not sustained by the
evidence.
-, In the Sloan- Ncbelser case, we
find that the said r. w. Sloln improp-
erly approached Senator w. G. Nebe-
ker for the purpose of securing Nebe-
Nti . 1h HOlI lOI MI. McNutlt. DuJ tue
evidence does not establish an at
tempted bribery or other public of
fense
SO. In the Ivins-Jackson case, the
evidence is not sufficient to justify the
conclusion that any attempt was made
to secure by improper means Mr. Jack
sons vote. We believe that Mr.. Jack
son, in this matter, labored under an
honest, but mistaken impression.
-. The evidence in the Cook Farr
matter is SO remote that we deem it
irrelevant to any issue under consider
alton.
The Lapish charg supplemental
case-is one in which the evidence bear
ing upon the the statement made is
not sufficient to warrant the finding of
an attempted bribery or other public
offense.
I'm conclusion, we record our en-
phatic disapproval of the present meth
Cd of conducting senatorial campaigns,
particularly the practice, by senatorial
candidates, of opening headquarters,
employing numerous assistants, and
entertaining by means of free dinners,
free theatres, and other gratutous dis
pensations, persons whose votes are de-
sired by the candidates at whose ex-
not only tends to evil but it work evil
and in the interest of good govern
ment, pure elections, and that higher
political morality which all good citi-
zens desire to see attained, the practice
should be abolished. We also condemn
the circulation of unfounded rumors
designed to injure the prospects of SEN
atorial candidates
Senators Shurtliff and Howell pre-
sented minority report, in which they
declared that from the testimony in
troduced they are of the opinion that
A. w. McCune did, by the use of money,
attempt to secure the vote of Albert n.
Law; that r. w. Sloan, acting for and
on behalf of A. w. MeCune, on or
about the 9TH day of February, 1899,
improperly approached w. G.. Nebeker,
state senator, for the purpose of Sc
curing said Nebel1ers support for A.
w. McCune; that d. C. Dunbar, acting
for A. W. McCune, did attempt to in
huence Represe ntative Lapish's vote
by indicating to Lapish that if McCune
was elected he would assist La pish in
securing patent for m on an inven-
tion made by said Lapish; Representa-
tive Lloyd and Fisher 5. Harris were
exonerated, and the minority expressed
the opinion that Representative Jack
son labored under an honest but mis-
taken belief that Mr.. Harris intended
impr operly to offer bribe for his vote
through Mr. WINS.

Triple Murder In Indiana.

Evansville, Ind, March 5.-There is
a strong belief among the farmers liv-
ing around Poseyville, Ind, that
Stephan Glawser did not kill his wife
and mother-in- law, Mrs Elizabeth Kin
chpb. and then committed suicide, but
that the three were murdered, Many
of the neighbors of Glawser say a
young man living in the neighborhood
had often threatened to kill Glawser
and his family. The young man has
disappeared and this fact strengthens
the theory.

There are many things YOU cannot

habit of sending away for them. Per-

haps elsewhere. Those who are trad
ing here by mail are satisfied with the
service and the prices. When anything
turns up that may possibly give rise to
a just complaint they know that we
are just as prompt to make it right"
as we are to get their orders. No one
is permitted to retain an article from
our stock if it don't look to them as it
comes from their package exactly as
they expected. That's one reason our
mail order list is growing. Another is
that no woman can send to Chicago

can buy at Younkers'.
IF YOU have been sending elsewhere
for your goods, we invite YOU TO give
our superb new stocks a trial. Com

Statistics Showing Disbursements in

Washington, Sept. 23.-The treasury
statement yesterday for the first time
this fiscal year showed a surplus of re-
Eceipts over expenditures. The surplus
was $s60,O51, as against a deficit of $780,
1852 the day before. The receipts of the
day We're s1,522,sO4 and the expenditures
100000. An excess for the day of 1922, :
S04 turned the scale and set new mark
for this year.
1t is true that this surplus is due in
part TO the sale of the New York Gus
tom house, but against this are the ex-
traordinary expenses incident to the
war in the Philippines.
The advance payment of the October
Interest on bonds may cause deficit
again this month, but the revenues of
the country are increasing so rapidly
that beginning With October the re-
Iceipts of the treasury may show a
steady and growing surplus over the
expenditures. This seems to be assured
by the steady growth of income from
both customs and internal revenue.
The customs receipts have increased
from s43,6S7.0S last year to $5l,646,654
this YEAR The internal revenue has
grown from s65,s43,7e5 to 0,36S. lSe.
Here is a gain of approximately sl2,-
