and built me up until my good health

its use" MRS. FLORENCE DANFoRTn,

Considerable sensation has been Gre

to Sir Walter Lawrence, private secre-
tary to Lord Curzon. He was stay
ing at a country house recently when
he electrified a dinner party by de-
claring that without doubt there would
be war between England and Russia
next spring.
1t is not only his private opinion, but
also that of Lord Kitchener and Of all
high officials In India. and he added
that many big guns We're being sent
out quietly to India all the time and
every preparation was being made for
a long campaign.
Lord Kitchener is the right man in
the right place, and 1t is for this reason
that he was not recalled to superintend
the war office after Roberts received
his cOngee.

Charles F. Kelly duplicates Colonel Ed
Butler in His Statement of st.
Louis Graft.

ST. Louis, Oct. Sin a swritten con-
fession today Charles r. Kelly. speaker
of the house of delegates during Pc
Rod in the life of the Doodle combine.
relates the story Of that combine. He
declares Edward Butler, prominent
local politician, promised himself and
others implicated that the next circuit
attorney would be "all right" and
promised that If they would remain
firm he would secure for them either
continuances until the new circuit at
torney took office, or pardons AFTER
ward.
He declares Butler said the new cir
cult attorney. fer which office nonlina-
tlons are to be made by the democrats
today, would be "his man."
Kelly declares he refused this offer
and makes this confession to satisfy the
pangs OF an accusing conscience, to
obey the requests OF his wife, and to
do what he can to make atonement to
the public and prevent other young
men from following path which he
declares has led to his ruin.
Kelly details the story of the city
lighting DEAL for which Doodle fund
OF $4,000 was divided between nine
Lehmann's birthday party. He de-
clares Butler gave him the Doodle fund
and that he took 1t to Lehmann's house
and divided 1t.
Some Warm Charges.
In the course of the confession Kelly
said:
II know from my own knowledge and
from statements made to me by those
on the inside, that bribery has been go
ing on In the municipal assembly Of
st. Louis for the past twenty-five years.
Hardly bill has passed that body IN
the last quarter century unless 1t was
paid for. We did not fear exposure and
punishment, because we believed no
one would dare do 1t. In case of attack
we knew most of the politicians and
many of the large financiers of st.
Louis would be with us. A former
prosecutor showed some signs of start
ing after us, but he was bluffed out.
When Prosecutor Folk commenced
war on us, we tried to intimidate him
by threats of assassination, and when
this had no effect we laid all sorts OF
traps for him without success. Then
1t was decided the best plan would be
fiercely as to draw his fire by taking
up his time in libel prosecutions. AL.
though we could find nothing after q
thorough search to make an attack on,
libels were deliberately made for the
purpose of affecting public sentiment.
This plan was participated in not only
by members of the house of delegates
j,
prominent financfers of st. Louis who
feared exposure, and by those who gave
us money.
"Honor" Among the Thieves.
''The combine never thought Of pass
ing bill out of which any money,
could be obtained unless we were paid
for our votes. We went about it in a,
businesslike way, and hal combine
meetings at stated times and fixed
ii
for our votes, by majority vote OF
the combine Then we would select one
OF the combine in whose honesty we
had confidence to pet out and get the
money. These agents would rarely be-
tray us. Among ourselves we had a
high code of morals. and 1t was con-
sidered extremely dishonest for mem
Der of the combine to accept bride
money without dividing 1T amongst his
fellows"
