sons POLITICAL TALK

The writer does not believe the Afro
Americans OF Lancaster are going 20
support Mr.. Owen and his party. The
majority of them have the same interests
at stake that the white oysterman has,
aud they are not going to throw away
their vote on Mr.. Owen-or Judge
Lewis, either, for that matter. The
Afro-Americans of the Rappahannock
should trust Mr.. Swanson and his friends
here In oyster aud other matters, and
we call upon them to show their good
citizenship by voting for Mr.. Swanson.

BETTER protection to fish and oys-
tiers is all right for the Republicans
to sing. One man out of their five
in the State Senate voted against the
Jordan bill and only one out of thir-
teen in the House did the same
thing. There's the record, and it is
dead against the Republicans.

Why OLD People are Especially Liable
to Systemic CatarrFf.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is
almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable TO old people. Peruna
Is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that entirely meets
these cases. Nothing but an effective
systemic remedy can cure them.

NAME OF GO-BETWEEN
Is STILL A MYSTERY
Newspaper Man Connected by Rumor
With Scandal Denies Completely.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 30.-There is
much speculation tonight among those
that do not enjoy the acquaintance of
William Corbin and his friends as to
the identity Of the alleged go-between
charged with having carried the bribe
money the affiant says was paid to
Senator's Emmons, Wright, Bunkers
and French.
1t was announced tonight that
Joseph s. Jordan, legislative represen-
tative Of the San Francisco Evening
Post in Sacramento, is the man referred
to. Jordan denies the allegation in no
uncertain terms and says that If an
effort is made to prove that he has
acted in any way since his arrival here
other than as a newsgatherer he will
be able to establish the utter lack of
foundation for such tale.

case at bar and had reached its opinion
owing to the indefinite, ambiguous
wording of the resolution authorizing
the Committee on Commissions and Re-
trenchmentS to issue Subpenas and call
for books and papers.
This resolution he said, author
lied the committee to do no one special
thing, nor dozen. 1t was an attempt
only to confer upon the committee the
right to go on what is termed in law a
fishing excursion which would give
1t the right to call upon any person or
corporation in the State to produce its
books and papers and to expose its
most sacred secrets. Palpably such a
procedure was wrong, and I, as chair
man of this committee, now move that
Mr.. Corbin be purged of contempt and
discharged"
CORBIN is DISCHARGED.
There was no objection, and, accom-
panied by his attorney, .Corbin left the
Senate chamber.
Ralstcn next took the floor and said
that he did not favor the abandonment
of the proposed investigation of the
Continental Building and Loan Asso-
citation at this time, when everything
demands that it be carried through to
the end. He asked that a committee Of
h'c, piotciiy cutHOTlZeu, De appointed
to take UP the task where it had been
abandoned. Curtin objected to such
haste. however, saying the Senate had
better take time;s that when it start
ed again it should start right and see
to 1T that its committee is properly
authorized.
TO stop now" said Curtin, would
look like we were willing to stop; but
such is not the case. We want this
carried through to the end
Wolfe agreed with Curtin that the
Senate had better make haste slowly
and advised that the question of ap-
pointing another committee to investi-
gate the Continental go over until to-
morrow.
And II there is an inclination here to
place the blame for the failure of these
contempt proceedings on the Commit
tee on Commissions and Retrench-

parent to every one here. Bribery has
been charged in this affidavit, and this
body owes 1t to itself to determine
whether or not it is true. We should
Immediately proceed and compel the
attendance of every one that knows
anything of this affair"
Leavitt then moved an adjournment
be taken until p. m. Before the chair
put the motion he appointed Curtin,
Selvage, Ward Hahn and Simpson a.
committee to look into the question of
authorities on the contempt Question.
Curtin asked to be excused, but the
chair held him to the appointment. An
adjournment was then taken.
This was the signal for an inrush Of
San Francisco Assemblymen, who sur
rounded the accused Senators, making
wild-eyed inquiries as to developments.
They were soon Informed and as quick
ly walked out into the corridor and to
the open air, leaving the accused to
their own thoughts.
PITY FOR ACCUSED.
The opening of the afternoon session
was marked by a remarkable scene.
one that raised the pity of every man
that witnessed it for the chief actor.
Senator Emmons. He said since the
accusation of bribery had been made
against him he felt unclean. that he
felt dirty, and that 1t was his desire
to withdraw from the further delibera-
tons of the Senate until such time as
a full investigation had been had and
he had been proved guiltless.
Il viii come al any time, he said,
when 1t is necessary to make up a
quorum, but / do not feel that ] car,
remain here among my colleagues un-
til I have been cleansed .of the charge
against me-"
Senator Savage here interposed and
said:
Under the law of this land any per-
son accused of wrongdoing is pre-
sumed to be innocent until proved
guilty. There is nothing in this affi-
davit that to my mind casts even sus-
picion upon the men accused. It is
their duty to stand upon their legal
rights and for one / object to having
any Of my brothers on the floor ex-
cluded from our sessions
In this line Senator Belshaw said:
Il wei understand the delicacy of the
situation in which the Senator from

French. This is only a game to stop
the investigation that the other side
feared"
Bunkers essayed to treat the matter
with f1ipDancy and wore a grin when
he stated his position.
1T is not worth while to discuss the
thing" he said. 1T is so palpably a
subterfuge that no one will give the
charges credence''
I will repeat to you what said to
the Senate" was Wrights reply when
asked for statement THE affidavit
is unqualifiedly false, and the only rea-
son Corbin offered it was to blackmail
certain members of the Senate into 81
lence. This action is only a fiimsy pre-
text on Corbin's part to turn the
searchlight of investigation from him
self to those who would expose him.

eELsAA~

Efforts may be made tomorrow to
secure warrants for the arrest of the
accused Senators. The constitution of
the State provides that members of
the Legislature shall in all cases ex-
cept treason, felony and breach of the
peace be privileged from arrest. AS
the acceptance of bribe is a felony
warrants could be obtained upon a
proper showing.
Should the inquiry to be held by the
special committee Substantiate the
charges made against the accused men,
Impeachment proceedings will be i'm
mediately begun against them in the
Assembly. Should there appear. ground
for Impeachment, the cases will go to
the Senate, which must conduct all i'm
peachment trials. and the accused
member will be expelled from the up
