st. Louis, April .18-Authorities in
st. Louis and Jefferson City are in
possession of information which leads
them to believe that Lieut.. Gov. John
A. Lee. who has apparently fed from
the state, personally distributed $27,-
: 900 Of baking powder trust Doodle to
= certain members of the senate who
voted as the trust wished
This, in connection with the fact
that Lee has at least twice testified
that he knew nothing of the boodling
at either the Forty-frst or Forty-sec-
: ond general assembly, is ample ex-
PLANTATION of his evidently earnest de-
sire to avoid appearing before the
grand jury here.
Lee has completely disappeared so
far as the authorities here or at the
state capital can find. He left the
train on which he departed from Kan
sas City somewhere in the state. At
either one of several places he could
have, taken another train either to-
ward st. Louis or in the opposite d.
rection. That he did not come to st.
Louis seems certain.
Four indictments Voted.
Four Indictments, it Is said, have
been voted by the Cole county grand
jury against members of the senate.
Two Of the men concerned have not
been seen in their usual haunts for
several days, and it is believed that
they have left the state entirely. The
indictments probably will be reported
in court to-day. 1t is said that just be-
fore. Lieut.. Gov. Lee left Jefferson
City, where he had a brief hearing/be-
fore the grand jury after a day of
nervous prostration," he broke down
and briefly unfolded to the astounded
Jurors tale of legislative corruption
which astounded even those men who
had already heard much. The story
which the authorities are now in
vestigating is that Lee met number
of the alum senators at the Leclede
hotel here two years ago, and that he
then distributed $4,000 to those who
voted for the interests of the baking
powder trust.

The troops and constabulary pursued
the men into the Lake Manit country
and defeated them five times, killing
twenty and wounding many others.
Most Of the arms stolen at Surigao

of Misasmis, Island of Mindanao, is
spreading. The civil authorities have
appealed for military assistance.
People are leaving the towns and 60

"The conditions here are sound.

interests out here should be anxious.
Chicago banks are in good shape and
have ample means with which to take
care of legitimate enterprises.

time. We have not experienced the
usual pressure from borrowers. The
grain men have taken little money
this fall and brokerage houses here
