between the two companies. He said
he never offered any monetary induce
ment to any member of the Legisla-

measure: that he knew of no deal be-
tween Governor elect Dawson and the
Standard OIL Company by which the
latter company was to give its influ-

Eomited by Chesapeake Boy Into the
Ocean, il Extends Fifteen Miles
Into the Ocean.
(By the Associated Press.)


Norfolk. Va, Feb. "A gigantic ice
field came down Chesapeake Bay to-
night and out into the ocean. For fif-
teen miles along the Virginia coast the
sea is covered with the ice that ex-
tends from the shore far out on the
ocean. The surf has been stopped by
the ice field, and for the first time in
fifteen years the roll and roar of the
waves has been checked. Residents
at the beach tonight describe the sit
uation as being uncanny. Conditions
in the inner harbor and rivers and
tributaries to Hampton Roads are in
worse shape than yesterday. A great
feet of ice bound vessels is in the har-
Dor and the British schooner Harry,
which cleared several days ago, was
toWed back into the harbor minus her
anchor and lot fcable. She had
been caught in the ice.
The Cape Henry weather observer
