in AIdermanic Corruption
Case.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-Mayor Harrison,
James b. Forgan. president, and John A..
Shoor, director in the First National
bank, were summoned before the grand
jury to give evidence in the investigation
into allegations that Alderman Frederick
Hart solicited bribes.
The original charge against Hart was
made by the Municipal Voters league.
which declared him unfit for reelection
and accused him of seeking bribes.
The grand jury took up the matter and
summoned Secretary Fisher Of the league,
who declared that E. r. Graham of the
firm of d. H. Burnham & Co., architects,
had accused Hart OF soliciting a bribe. Gra-
ham was summoned before the jury and
said afterwards he had declined TO make to
that body the statement which Fisher as-
serted he had made to the Municipal Voters
league.
The subpoenas OF the mayor end Messrs.
Forgan and Shoor we're issued In the line
of an attempt to show that Graham had
said to them the same things which he was
reported to have said to Fisher and which
he declined to make to the grand jury.

BaIfOur Intervenes Mt n Critical
Juncture and by Promises
saves the Day.

LONDON. Feb. 20.-The government mar
rowly escaped defeat In the House Of Com
mons last night.
Mr.. Lambert moved an amendment to the
address drawing attention to the nom
prosecution Of the directors Of the London
and Globe Finance corporation. He sug-
gested that the prosecution had been with
held because titled persons were connected
with the affairs Of the corporation and he
read out list of titled names in support
Of his argument
This suggestion was repudlated with
much vehemence from the attorney general
and solicitor general, but their contention
that nothing could be done in the matter
deeply offended members on both sides of
the house 1t was evident that the set Of
opinion was very strongly against the line
which the law officers Of the crown had
taken.
At a critical juncture, when defeat Of the
government seemed certain, Mr.. Balfour
intervened and by a promise of immediate
legislation to cover future cases of a simi-
lar character he saved the situation and
the government emerged from the division

KocIAN DELAYS HIS VISIT
Musician IL Ill at Birmin Gham and
Cannot Play in Omaha
Monday.

Kocian, Bohemian violin vlrtuoso, billed
to appear at Boyd's next Monday afternoon,
will not be here upon that date, and prob
ably not until on or about March 16.
This much became known yesterday when
the evening papers circulated, and the con-
sequence has been to dlsarrange and re-
arrange all the elaborate arrangements that
had been made by Nebraska countrymen
OF the young artist and by local musicians.
The word came here to Rudolph Aron-
son, who is managing the Kocian tour. At
the time Mr.. Aronson was consulting with
some OF the local Bohemians committee of
arrangements and so was able to let at
least a few Of them know at once. The
telegram was from Birmingham. Ala,
where Kocian was to. have played last
night, and simply stated that he had be-
come seriously i'll the night before, had
to dismiss his audience and was not
in condition to think of taking the long
trip to Omaha and trying to play Monday
afternoon. From other portions of the
telegram Mr.. ATonson drew the conclusion
that II is Kocian's intention to go either
to Denver or directly through TO San
Francisco, where he is to play ten days
hence. Manager Aronson further said that
Kocian is to return this way from the
would then hll his Omaha engagement.
Mr. Aronson left for Denver at APPS yes
terday afternoon.
Manager Burgess of the Boyd theater
said: "I have an open night date March 16
and II may be arranged for Kocian to take
that. If not, then II will be an afternoon
date, as with this one exception have no
open nights that he could utilize. The sale
has not equaled that for Kubelik, but IL
has been very good and we are pretty busy
now mailing back the remittauces of people
who have sent in cash and orders from
other places"
The local Bohemians had selected an ar
rangements committee, and John Rosicky
it's chairman, s. A. Beranek, its secretary
and Vaclav Buresh, its treasurer, we're all
very busy gentlemen yesterday afternoon
They had planned to banquet a hundred OF
more at Balduif's Monday night, with
Kocian, and there had been made plans
for Sunday which the distinguished visitor
| was to spend at the residence OF Mr.
Rosieky. The invitations to the banquet
by the way, give the musicians name in
| full-Jaroslava Kociana.
| What particularly distresses the commit
teemen is the fear that the out-ot-tNwn
! parties organized by Colonel Joe MIX will
not hear the new development in time and
will make the journey for nothing To
remedy this and any other trouble. IL any
| the committeeman and other Bohemians
met at Turner hall, Thirteenth and Martha
streets, last night and canvassed the situa-
| tion. II was decided at this meeting q
hold everything in allegiance until Kociar
is heard from definitely, and, IL he come'
IN March, to carry out the program just
as 1t had been arranged for Monday.

tion of his wish In the matter. The mem
bers of the council, while expressing their

tion. church meeting will be called for

tion.

tion TO the congregation m Kountze Me-
mortal Sunday morning. He expects to
leave here. with Mrs. Trefz and family,

to Binghampton, N. Y, was because this
puts him In touch with DR.. Hills of Ply
mouth church, dear friend. The church
has been paying $4,000 to its pastor. but
Mr.. Trefz refused to accept more than
50, 500, the amount offered him here, for
