JURY TAKES A DIFFERENT VIEW
New York, Jan. 8.-Former Congress
man briggs, who was convicted hero
yesterday of receiving compensation
for aiding the procurement of a co..
tract with the government, in his de-
Tense said that although he had been
elected a congressman he had not ia
ken his seat at the time of alleged i'm
proper transaction. Mr.. briggs attor-
ney contended throughout that his eli
ent was not a congressman until ne
had actually taken the oath of office,
but the prosecuting attorney maintain
ed that the defendant was a member of
congress from March 4, when the pre-
ceding house of representatives ad-
journed. Judge Thomas left it to the
jury to decide whether the term as con-
gressman had actually begun at the
time in question and the jury brought
in a verdict of guilty.

New York. Jan. S.-'Whoopeei 'San

And Reinhardt Zollinhoffer unwound
himself from a lamp post at the corner
of Baxter street and Chatham square
and thrust $925 into the hands of Po-
nceman Jerry Sullivan.

iHg I'D to his hatband. where yellow
bills were 1luttering plume-like above
his head He forced the policeman to
accept $500 more
Policeman Sullivan led him to the
Oak street station. There the sergeant
and Sullivan pulled bills from Zollin-
hOferS buttonholes and removed two
wads of notes from his coat collar.
There was just 300 in all.
'Iust keep it and rush the can," di-
rected ZOllinhoffer, who went meekly
to a cell and slept like a baby until
yesterday morning. when he was ar
raigned before Magistrate Ommen in
the Tombs court.
How much money did you have?''
asked the magistrate.
Just 81, ,300,'' said Zollinhoffer.
That amount was counted out before
the court.
DO you mean to say he walked up
and down the Bowery for four hours
with all that money showing and didn't
lose a cent?" asked the astonished mag
istratA.
He was assured that not only did
Zollinhoffer keep all of his money. but
he got drinks innumerable without
having to pay a cent The Bowery
bartenders were so utterly astoundad
when he stood before them fringed
with s100 bills that they didn't collect.
He couldn't even get them to accept
yellow bills as presents.
Zollinhoffer's adventure began direct
ly after he drew 81. 300 from the bank
ing house of Knauth, Nachod & Kuhne
He is a farmer of New Jersey and he
came to town to collect legacy from
Germany. The magistrate discharged
him and he went back to Jersey with
his $1,000.

Deweys Don't Want to Sell Out Says
Mr. Scott

Dempster Scott, an attorney of At
wood, Rawlins county, who is here at
tending the supreme court, says that
he thinks the report that the Deweys
are trying to sell the big Oak ranch in
northwestern Kansas is a mistake.
"A statement of that kind was made
in a Colby paper recently" said Mr..
Scott, but l am sure it is wrong. The
Deweys are selling some of their out
lying land which would be hard to
fence without fencing in some govern
ment land, too, but don't think they
want to sell the main ranch. 1t is a
good money-naking proposition for
them and is bound to increase in

Congre s. Notice.

Washington, Jan. S.-When the SEN

joint resolution providing for an in
vestigation of the Darien canal route.
He said that such a waterway would
be only 80 miles in length and that the
route had never been carefully investi-
gated by engineers.
Mr.. Bacon interrupted to ask where
the proposed canal was to be located
in view Of recent geographical changes
in South America ''It is in the state of
Panama" remarked Mr.. Stewart,
about $50 miles from Colombia
Mr.. Scott said that although he had
always believed in sea level water
way he had hesitated to press the mat
ter because he might be accused of an
effort to delay and hinder the construe-
ton of a canal, but such was not his
purpose. He wanted a canal, but
wanted the best one. He ask
ed that the committee on inter
oceanic cables make an early report
upon the resolution he had presented.
