ottumwa Railroad Men Think New
Fast Mail viii Stay.

Local railroad men discredit the ru-
mcrs to the effect that the new fast
mail train on the Burlington, No. "a,
is to be taken off next Sunday. There
is a rumor to this effect, and further
that passenger train No. IL will be
used for the purpose of carrying the
mail which goes east on No. "a now.
This would necessitate the shortening
of the passenger train very consider
ably, and although this might be done
it is not thought that it will be. O.E.
Stewart, superintendent, who resides
in this city, has had no notification
regarding the matter, and has not been
ordered to go to Chicago to arrange
the new time card which would of ne
cessity go into effect when No. "a
would be taken of.

SPECIAL GRAND JURY.
Will Investigate Legislators and Other
Matters as Well

A call for a Grand jury by Circuit
Judge Humphreys will be issued next
week. The jurors will be specially di-
rected TO look into the many reports of
bribery in connection with the legisla-
| ture that has just adjourned 1t is
understood that the Governors state
ment that he had been informed that
bribery had been going on and that
that was one of his reasons for not eX-
tending the session was one of the rea-
sons for the calling of the special grand
jury.
The jurors will not, however, be con-
fined in their work to investigating the
many rumors afloat about Colonel Ma
yuma, who is reported in some quar-
tiers to have fallen to the 25-cent lunch
level in Hawaii. Any other matters
BROUGHT before the jurors Will be tax
en- up, so that the coming special grand
jury will be much like an ordinary
grand jury.
introduced in the Senate a resolution
addressed to the Governor requesting
information in regard to the charge al
legged to have been made that members
of the Legislature had been bribed. An
answer was quickly forthcoming, as
follows:
To the Hon. S. e. Kaiue, President of
the Senate.
Sir: The concurrent resolution OF the
Legislature relating to a conversation
between myself and a committee of The
Senate on the subject of bribery in the
Legislature and asking for an extension
Of this session of the Legislature for a
term sufficient for an investigation of
these charges by the Legislature has
heen delivered TO me by joint commit
tee.
In answer would say that made I o
charge that members of the Legisla-
ture had accepted sums of money in eX-
change for their votes, or promises Of
sums of money for votes to be cast"
What / did say was that l had infor-
nation of a character that l could not
ignore that bribery of members was
going on in the Legislature and deem
ed such Information sufficient grounds
for refusing an extension of this ses-
sion.
General charges of bribery of MEM
bers of the Legislature have been FREQ
ly made i'm the local newspapers from
time 10 time from an early period Of
this session, and a charge of the exist
ence of corruption fund for the de-
feat of pending legislation was made
some weeks ago on the floor of the
Senate yet the Legislature has shown
no disposition to investigate such
charges.
/ am therefore unable to feel any en-
couragement that an extension of the
