OF
CORRUPTION
Interest Is Rearoused in the
Council Inquiry.
GRAND JURY DOCUMENT
Said Tha. City Attorney Pollard Is
Thoroughly Familiar With the Fa-
nous Paper-C Committee off Five
Has Judicial Powers.
GRAND JURY DOCUMENT

As a. result of the determination Of the
Board Of Aldermen to investigate certain
alleged municipal corruption, much inter-
est has been aroused among the people OF
Richmond. and particularly among mem
bers OF both branches Of the Council.
Rumors as to what will be divulged are
rampant, and most anything could be
heard about the City Hall yesterday af-
ternoon.
The news that City Attorney Pollard
now has in his possession copy OF the
stenographic evidence adduced by the spe-
cia grand jury was nothing less than
revelation to certain Councllmen and
much speculation as to what this IA
nous document will prove when It is un-
folded to public inspection for the first
time.
WILL BE SIFTED.
That the City Attorney has possession
of a copy Of the famous document, and
that he has been instructed to assist the
Investigating committee. practically as
sures that every feature In connection
with the many runors concerning corrup-
ton will be sifted to the bottom. OF
course, 1t Is understood that Mr.. Pollard
would not use the report in the investi,
CATION unless Judge Witt, of the Hastings
Court, gave him permission but it is un-
derstood that Mr.. Pollard Is already more
or less familiar with the text Of the re-
markahle paper" and naturally many
striking questions will be asked by him
as a result of this familiarity with the
grand Jury proceedings.
While the resolution creating the tnves
t;gating committee apparently relates
only to present and former mem bers Of
the Board of Aldermen. the committee OF
five has the authority to expose mem
bers OF the Common Council, provided
of course, it Is brought out In the evil
dence that they have been guilty OF any
OF the alleged corruption,
VINDICATE OR 1MPLICATE1.
The members of the Board, who have
been anxious for an investigation evei
since the final report of the grand jury
was made some months ago, feel that the
inquiry, which Is now about to be under
taken, WILL either remove the stigma from
the entire Council-both bodles-or resul
in the exposure Of all parties who have
been at all crooked The move Tuesda!
night was a decided victory. for the in
vestigatiortsts,'' and they do not propos
to allow the opportunity thus presented
to slip by without first ayailing them
selves of the advantage thus gained.

by the Legislature the body constituted
Tuesday night can summon witnesses

do not incriminate themselves, and hol'
any false swearer for perjury, Just a

AS yet, President Turpin has not ap
pointed any of the Committee OF Five,
as 1t will be known. but 1t goes withou
saying that Mr.. Otway 8. Allen will b.
chairman Of the body, unless he asks t
be relieved.

jolly comrade had given place to q
quiet humor that made him a charm
ing companion. She had guessed,
watching him, interested in him, low
ing Dolores as she loved her-she
guessed Of the thought he had for her,
and she honored him loving such a
girl as this grave cousin of hers, this
girl SO slightingIy spoken Of among
her W. neighbors because Of her
utter height above them, this girl
whom her father had hated with his
narrow hatred, this girl the p%ersonifi-
cation of womanliness and truth and
purity.
Dolores turned from the window
at his approach. and a sudden sharp
sense Of everything that had gone,
everything that must come in the
future. struck her like a knife. She
turned to him with a bitter cry, hold
ing out her hands as though for help:
HE is dead" she cried, and the
watching girl in the doorway felt the
hot tears rush to her eyes at sound
OF the agonizing voice and the agaony
on the lifted pallid face. "He is dead,
and he does not know I am sorry
he can never know now"
He took her hands in his, and held
them close and warm in his strong
clasp; his eyes were only full of a
great tenderness and love and longing
to comfort her; mis- voice was tender
as a woman's when he spoke.
81 think he does know, Dolores. I
believe he does know. TO whom
much is given much shall be required
Therefore, to whom less is given less
shall be required. l believe he does
know and has forgiven you-and me-"
How a he know" she cried, and
Dora's hand went cut to the strong
hand near her for strength, watching
the lifted icy face before her, never
thinking of her eavesdropping, forget
ting everything but the agony of the
girl. How can he know when he Is
dead? When he died before I could
tell him-before he could forgive me?
Don't you know that my father is
dead?"

agement Of the annual German art ex-
hibition. Out of 3,0VU pictures offered
only GOO have been accepted, and 1t is
alleged that the selections are due to
favoritism and improper influences. 1t
is stated that the modern impression
list school is favored at the expense Of
the other styles.
The painters of the 2,400 rejected
pictures laid their grievances before
the Emperor, and 1t appears that their
protest has been successful. A high
official in the Ministry Of Education,
Privy Councillor Mueller, who is chiefly
responsible for the management Of the
art exhibition, has quilted his post. It
is understood the change is due d.
rectly to the Emperor's initiative. Il
Is probable that next year the EN-
peror intends to participate personally
in the selection of pictures, when the
impressionists, whom he abhors, will
secure less prominence.

USE OF LIQUOR AND TOBACCO.
Physician Denies That They Are Com.
panion Vices,

'''~
THE prevalent idea that drinking
and smoking are companion vices Is
altogether wrong" said n physician,
who has made n special study of dipso-
mania. II find, on the contrary, that
the habitual drunkard Is not abnormal
ly addicted to the use of tobacco. He
may use the weed as a lesser stimu-
liant when not strongly under the in
fluence of alcohol, but when the drink
gets firmly intrenched in his system
he cares nothing for tobacco, for then
1t has lost its force and its influence
upon the nerves. or course I mean In
extreme cases. =
"On the other hand. 1t Is a rather
curious fact that in the case OF the
moderate drinker, who also smokes,
the cutting off OF his supply of tobac-
% will increase his appetite for al.
cohollc beverages, and while at first
the liquor will not affect him nearly
so much as when he is smoking in the
end 1t will do him up. Consequently,
it Is safe to assume that the man who
always used liquor and tobacco in mod
Grafton will, If he gives up tobacco
take more strongly to liquor. In fact,
this is no assumption: it has been
demonstrated on numerous occasions"
