THE N1EDR1NeHAus INQUIRY.
Missouri General Assembly in Joint
Sessions Hears Report.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, January IL
Representative Tubbs, chairman of the
committee appointed to investigate the
campaign contributions of Thomas K.
Niedringhaus chairman of the republican
state committee and caucus nominee for
United States senator, submitted the re-
port of his committee to the House today.
Representatives Lasey of Jackson and
ODonnell of st. Louis, democratic mem
bers of the committee, filed a minority
report along the lines of the Senate COM
mittee report made yesterday. Casey
moved to substitute the minority for the
majority report.
After the motion to adopt the minority
report had been seconded Representative
Whitecotton (dem.) of Monroe, made a
motion to have the Niedringhaus testi-
mony read.
IF there is no objection, the testimony
Will be read verbatim" said the Speaker.
There was no objection, and the clerk be-
gan the reading.
Attorney Sager's Hurried Trip.
Circuit Attorney Arthur Sager has made
hurried trip here from ST. Louis, caused,
it is said, by developments in regard to
the investigation into campaign fund con-
tributions. When asked as to his official
position and probable action in the mat
ter he said: L have only this to say: If
the facts justify proceedings under sec
t1on 11I6 of the Revised Statutes. 1899 l
will institute them" This section-7176-
to which Mr.. Sager referred, provides
that it will be unlawful for any corpora
tion to influence or attempt to influence
the result of any election in this state or
to procure the election of any person to a
public Office.
The Majority Report.
The majority report of the house commit
tee says:
THAT the action of Thomas K Niedring-
haus so far as the investigation of your
committee is concerned, which investigation
was full and fair, was honest and above
criticism
The report adheres to the declaration that
the contribution was to the republican city
campaign committee of ST. Louis; that
Niedrlnghaus did not contribute S21 600 to
that fund, and that he filed no such state
ment with the recorder of deeds, because
he was not acting treasurer of the city
committee.
1t finds that, as chairman of the state
committee Niedringhaus filed statement,
including the $21, 600 which was properly
credited to him, and that Adolphus Busch
guaranteed him $500 and Otto Stifel guar
anteed him $3.50 of the said amount; that
NJ money was contributed by brewers to
influence legislation, and that the explana-
tions of Niedringhaus in regard to this
81 900 was entirely satisfactory.
