Previously existing favorable condi

goods, such as linens, wash fabrics

RETRACTS HIS STORY.
Philip Doblin Confesses His
Statements Were Untrue.
House Committee Taken by Surprise
RigidIy Cross-Examined by Every
Member But Dobln Held to His Re
traction = Representative LessIe'
Present In the Committee Room.

Washington, Jan. 27-Philip Doblin,
who testified before the house com.
mittee on naval affairs Saturday that
he had approached Representative
Lessler of New York with an offer Of
money TO influence his vote on the sub.
marine boat bill, and who made the
further statement that he had been
told there might be $1,000 in it fol
him, made the astounding statement
before that committee yesterday that
he had made statements Saturday
which were not true and that he want
ed to retract his statement that Lemuel
E. Quigg had rendered bribe to him,
The statement came without any
previous warning that Doblin intend
ed making any such retraction. Mem.
bers of the committee looked at one
another in amazement as Doblin went
on with his statement.
Gustavus Rogers, an attorney, arose
in the committee room after the first
witness had left the stand and said he
appeared for Mr.. Doblin, who had
. stated to him that he (Doblin) had
made some statements Saturday which
were true and some which were false,
and held in his hand a statement to
which Mr.. Doblin had sworn.
The committee was unanimous in
agreeing that Doblin appear in person
forthwith. He was called and made
specific denial of all statements he had
previously made wherein he alleged at
tempts at bribery.
He was rigidly cross-examined by
practically every member of the com.
mittee and pressed vigorously for an
explanation of his action, but persisted
that he was telling the truth then and
adhered to his denials.
When DOblin had left the stand the
committees program, which contem
plated ca ling DR.. W. R. Kerr to the
stand, was abandoned and it went into
secret session. Some of the members
in view of the remarkable develop
ments, favored dropping the investiga.
ton, but others urged that it be con.
tinued
It is understood that Mr. Lessler
asked that he be permitted to make
statement and said that he had an.
other witness he would call, whereupon
the committee decided to meet again
today.
Representative Lessler was present
in the committee room when Doblin
gave his testimony.

The climax of the senatorial fight in

urged the people of Colorado to accept
the situation as it stands, by the elec.

The announcement was made in a
signed statement in which Mr. Wolcott

in the Republican ranks with treach.
cry, deliberate and continuous, al.
though he disposes of others of the
anti-Wolcott crowd by characterizing
them as "dupes" of the main consplra
tors.
Continuing Mr.. Wolcott said: There
were three joint sessions of the gen
eral assembly. At the last one 81
Democrats voted for Teller. No other
joint session had been held and no Re
publican had voted in a joint session.
The election of Mr.. Teller was tinct
ured with fraud, first in the trickery of
adjournment by the Democrats of the
house; second, in the arbitrary and
fraudulent expulsion of two legally
elected senators.
Speaking of Mr.. Teller, the ex-sena
tor said that in no sense was he party
to the frauds above referred to, al
though he was the beneficiary.
