morning, but the remainder Of the party
had abandoned tho chase and twenty CT tho
twenty-eight dogs had struggled back to
camp, completely tuckered out.
The President had hard luck to-day. Twice
he narrowly missed a chance for a shot. The
pack split almost Immediately after leav-

the hounds. followed the trail Of one bear
down the river and nothing had been heard
of him at 1 o'clock. The other bear went
in the opposite direction and gave the Pres

the other half OF the pack of dogs q merry
chase.
PRESIDENT IN HARD LUCK.
He was a big fellow and kept well ahead
OF the dogs. He was cut OF several times
and thrashed up and down the brush over
an area of about four square miles. Once
Mr.. Dickson and Major Helm heard him

of him. AT one stage Mr.. Foote. who was

They waited, and Mr.. Foote felt certain
that the President was at last to have a
shot, but they were too late.
In about five minutes the dogs swept by

old bruin had passed before they got there.
Two hours later the President had an
other unfortunate experience. The dogs

The President and Mr.. Foote heard the

dogs will be rested and the pursuit Of bruin

The two bears killed yesterday furnished

Washington. Nov. 1k-Representativo
Hepburn Of Iowa. who for years has fought
for a modification Of the rules Of the House
SO as to lessen the power Of the Speaker,
and WHIT has developed . considerable fol-
lowing along that line, says tha he fears
that the election Of Representative Cannon

man power in the House more complete
than ever. Colonel Hepburn said:
MI. Cannon Ii an aggressive man, dis
posed to be arbitrary M passionately adj
dicted to having his vi way, and, II these
qualities were aided by the present House
rules. there would be little necessity for
having any other Representative In the
House than the one from the Danville DIS
trtct. Do not understand me to mean that
he would be unjust or you'd usurp power:
he would not have to do that: he would sim
ply exercise the power conferred by the
rules on the Speaker.
"Thi fact. in my judgment, makes II de-
sirabie to elect a man who will use a. IN

Persons Who Put Up SAT 500 for
Passage Of Lighting Bill Will
Then Be Exempt.
GRAND JURY May INVESTIGATE.
Ed Butler, Who Is Indicted in Con-
nection With Measure, Said to
Have Acted Only as Leg
islative Agent.

The conviction Of Edward Butler at Co
lumbia has recalled the fact that on No
vember Is the statute of limitations will
have expired, and after that date indict-
ments cannot be returned against persons
who were implicated in the lighting-deal
scandal.
Butler has been indicted on the charge
Of buying the votes Of nineteen members
Of the House of Delegates IN the lighting
bill, and the case has been taken to Full
ton. Mo-, on a change Of venue. But 1t Is
said that Butler was acting only as legis-
latiye agent when he paid s7,5OO for the
votes. as alleged in the indictment, and
that the persons from whom he obtained
this money are equally guilty.
Charles F. Kelly. m OF the House
Of Delegates, 10 whom It Is said Butler
rave the $7, 500, to be distributed among
his eighteen colleagues, Is still a fugitive
from Justice. He has eiuded the authorities
since September s. when John K. Murrell
returned from Mexico and made a clean
breast of all the boodling schemes.
At first it was stated that Kelly alone
could give the evidence on which the per-
sons alleged to have been behind Butler
could be indicted. Later Information was
obtained by Circuit Attorney Folk which, 1t
is said, would enable hun to proceed
against the persons for whom Butler was
acting, as the Indictment charges, without
the testimony Of Kelly.
The June Grand Jury shortly before adj
journinK took up the investigation of the
lighting deal. 1t Indicted eighteen members
of the House Of Delegates for accepting

among them two checks said to have been
issued to Ed Butler by Campbell on the
day the lighting bill was passed by the
House. The Grand Jury was informed that
these checks called for A7,500.
Mr.. Campbell has been in New York and
Chicago since the day the Grand Jury
called for these checks and has refused to

Circuit Attorney Folk now believes that

COL. MARTIN MAKES DENIAL
Saws He Wrote No Letter to Peter
Arlund of Louisville.

Colonel John 1. Martin, who returned to
St. Louis last night from st. Joseph, Mo-,
stated positively that he had not accepted
on behalf of Colonel Moses c. Wetmore q
challenge to fight a duel, issued by Peter
Arlund OF Louisville. He says that he does
not understand how such a report has
gained credcnce, unless it was through a
joke recently printed in a Kansas City news
paper, in which his name was mentioned.
Colonel Martin says that he does not
know Arlund, and the thought of fighting
q duel with him never entered his head.
Colonel Martin is a friend Of Colonel Wet
more, but said he believed Wetmore was
well able to take care his own affairs, and
did not need any one to substitute him on
the field of honor.

FOLK IS READY TO PROCEED
WITH OTHER BRIBERY CASES.
Circuit Attorney Returns to His once
and Prepares for Trial Against
Other Defendants.

Circuit Attorney Folk. after q weeks abb
sence. arrived at his Office early yesterday
morning and began at once preparations
for the trial of other alleged boodiers next
week.
Tit cases against Charles A. Gutke, 7.

deal. are docketed for trial tomorrow.
1t is MIR. Folks intention to make an
effort to try Gutke 1t is believed that the
counsel for defendants Will try to get more
time, but Mr.. Folk Is anxious to proceed
with the trial of one Of the defendants.
Circuit Attorney Folk feels that In the
conviction Of Edward Butler at Columbia
the State won q great victory. Butler has
long been regarded as the greatest political
boss in st. Louis. and that a jury should
decide that he is guilty after his achieve
mentS in a political way is regarded by
some persons as a greater victory than the
conviction of Boss Tweed in New York
many years ago.
1t is pointed out that Tweed had lost his
political power when he was brought to
justice, but in the case Of Butler this Ia
different. He has come out of a political
campaign in the last two weeks with flying
colors and is at the zenith Of his career
as a W in politics.
Whether Butler will be tried at Fulton on
the charge of bribery in the lighting deal
before the higher courts have passed upon
the case tried at Columbia last week rests
with Judge Hockaday.
To Mr.. Folk Judge Hockaday stated tina
he had tried defendants on two charges be-
fore the first was finally settled, and he
may decide that Butler can be tried legally
at Fulton before the Columbia case Is final
ly settled.
Lawyers say 1t is an interesting point at
law. and are awaiting with interest Judge
Eockaday's decision On the matter.
