NOBODY Is SAYING ANYTHING
But shrewd Guesses Are Being Made as to
the. bribery Evidence.

Springfield. Ills. April 27.-The
first session of the committee investi-
eating thespeaker's charge of attempt
ed bribery ended at 100 Saturday
morning and most of the members got
out of town as soon as possible. The
few who remained had nothing to say
of what the speakers testimony was.
and he himself maintained his usual
calm and impe: turbable mood. but
refused absolutely to say what he told
the committee or to go into details
concerning the matter When pressed
for statement he said that there was
an understanding on the pat of the
committee that nothing should be said
concerning its proceedings. and that he
felt bound by this agreement.
The speaker was unable to furnish the
committee with the names of any per-
sons who had told him that there was
money behind the Mueller bill Re
garding the approach on which he
based his statement to the house the
speaker is said to have told the COM
mittee that some time ago he WAS
called upon by two men who dis
cussed the Mueller bill with him. and
told him that money would be used to
secure its passage and that If he would
grant the roll calls that would be de-
manded by its advocates there would
be large sum of money in it fer him.

Grave charges affecting the good

assembly of Illinois have been made
in the public press and by the speaker

are pending and are under investiga-
ton our business is light here in

of propriety it would be indecorous for
us to leave here on Il junketing expedi-
ton while the people of the state and
the entire country are undecided as to
whether the majority of us are not a
lot of scoundrels and scallawags. The
best thing the Illinois legislature can
do is to retire from the public gaze
until it clears itself of the charges
made by Hinman and Speaker Miller.
If it is unable to do this it should
crawl into Il hole and stay there"

UNUSUAL FOR A Positive FACT
Legislature Wants to Appropriate and
Proposed Beneficiary Fights the Bill,

Springfield. Ills, April 2T.-The
unusual case of legislature undertake
ing to make an appropriation in oppo-
sition to the desires of its benetcaries
has developed here. Some days ago the
house by a vote that was practically
unanimous passed bill appropriating
5000 to aid i'm the construction of the
monument to KosciuskO in the city or
Chicago. The money was to be
paid to the Kosciusko Monument as
ISOLATION and ii was the general under
standing that theassociation had asked
for the money.
There is no question that the Dill
would have gone through the senate
without opposition and that it would
have become a law, but for commu-
nication sent to Chairman Gardner, or
the senate committee on appropria-
tions. by NJ. A. Iabuy. the president OF
the society. I.abuy protests against the
passage of the bill and declares that it
will defeat tile object for which the
society was formeds He says the pur-
pose of the organization is to erect a

Refused to- Answer Questions. 't'-a'
Under the terms of the resolution
Human is ordered to appear before
the bar of the house. This contemplates
public examination of the editor
in the open house. but there is dis
position to have the matter referred
to the special investigating committee
which has jurisdiction of the subject
matter Some of the members think
that an examination before the whole
house might result in an undignitied
discussion over the merits of the pend
ing traction legislation in which the
main purpose of the inquiry would be
lost sight of.
An investigation on the floor would
give every member an opportunity to
take part in the examination and pro-
ceedings, and Human will be permit
ted to appear with counsel should he
desire the services of an attorney. The
house by resolution VIII authorize the
speaker to appoint. or will name. one
of it's number TO interrogate the wit
ness. In the event that any question
is asked which fine witness declines
to answer, or to which his counsel OBJ
jects the house will decide whether
the witness shall answer. Ordinarily
the speaker passes on the question. and
his decision stands unless the house
votes otherwise.
Some years ago Frank II. Cooper. of
Chicago, was brought before the bar
the senate. Cooper had been summoned
TO appear before senate committee
which had been appointed to investi-
gate the department store business in
Chicago. He had responded, but had
refused to answer certain questions
propounded TO him by Senator Salo-
mon, the chairman. The same ques-
tions were pat to him as he stood be-
fore the bar of the senate, and again
he refused to answer. The questions
had to do with Cooper's private bust
ness affairs. and lie explained that he
denied the senate's right TO the infor-
nation. Solomon then moved that
Cooper be committed for contempt, bet
the senate sustained Cooper in his re-
fusal to answer and he was dis
charged.

100000 would be brought to Spring
field to secure its enactment into law
This. il was said was merely one of
the general rumors that had been in
circulation. 1t is said also that the
speaker told the committee that he had
