WOULD TELL 1T ALL.
Another Former Missouri Senator
Has a Troubled Conscience.
Insurance Companies Said to Have Paid
Over 100000 In Recent Years for
'Protection"-Le and Speed Make
Startling Revelations.

St. Louis, June 24.-John A. Lee,
formerly lieutenant governor, and
Richard B. Speed, of Nevada. former
coal oil inspector, added another
interesting chapter to Doodle his
tory in state legislation by con-
Tossing that they were participants
in transactions which have previously
been hidden from the general
public.
In response to "hunch" from
Daniel j. Kelley, now in Canada,
Circuit Attorney Folk asked Lee If
he had received any money from
Havemeyer, of the sugar trust.
HE sent me check through the
mail for $1,000 about the middle of
the last session for writing some
articles for him which were used by
his concern. 1t had nothing to do
with legislation" replied Lee. Didn't
you receive money from the Ameri-
can Tobacco company two years
ago" asked the circuit attorney.
"Their Chicago attorney gave me $3.50
prior to the gathering of the general
assembly of 1901, but it was for cam
paign expenses"
Dick Speed, editor of the Nevada
Mail and former coal oil inspector in
st. Louis, confirmed the suspicious
aroused by the refusal of former
Senator William +. Lyons, of Kansas
City, to testify regarding the matter,
when he told Circuit Attorney Folk,
just before entering the grand jury
room, that he had paid Lyons $500 to
kill the bill reducing the fees of his
Office.
Circuit Attorney Folk yesterday re-
ceived letter from former state
senator. whose term expired in jan
uary, stating that he would be here
and confess his misdeeds while n
member of the upper branch of the
general assembly. In his letter he
stated that his conscience had been
hurting him and that he did not care
to stand the strain any longer. Mr..
Folk refused to give out the mans
name. To do so, he said, would be
TO subject the repentant official to
every sort of pressure from his
former confederates in boodling, if
he had any.
According toj the assertions OF one
insurance man who is familiar with
the operations of legislation affect
ing his interests. the various insur-
ance companies have spent $33o.Ooo
during the past 20 years to defeat
and pass Legislation in Jefferson City.
The biennial assessments grew each
recurring session and became such
drain on the companies that, four
years ago. they rebelled when de-
mand for $4,000 was made to defeat
the valued policy law and no money
was paid.

All the press humorists who whet
their pencils on the Kentucky feudism
write on papers that ure not pub
lished in Kentucky. The presumption
Is that nobody in Kentucky dnres be
funny at the expense of the feudists.
Their inability to see anything humor.
Gus in their own mental attitude
keeps them in an assassination frame
OF mind; and yet there is the height
of grim humor in it. The idea of keep
ing on killing each other for some
thing done by somebody decade ago,
Is one that only a burlesque opers
eould do justice to.
