JACKSON DENIES HE
BOUGHT ELECTION
CONFINED Prov FrRsr PACE.

pendent, and Prohibitlon-who supported
me because of the firm conviction that.
two years ago, I had not been fairly
treated. and at that time really received
sufficient number Of votes TO have
elected me- This conviction was not con-
fned whatever to the Republican party,
but, as I have said, extended 10 a large
portion Of the voters throughout the dis
trict, regardless of party Affiliations, and
was another factor In producing the un-
precedented majorities this year.
Victory Nos Due 10 Money Alone.
Before, at the time Of and since the
alleged interviews. have repeatedly ex-
pressed my qualification and gratitude at
the numerous personal votes received
from Democratic and non-Republican
friends. and the strong and loyal support
given me by my own party, and the utter
injustice Of the interviews is therefore
apparent, when the impression is given
out to the public that ] attributed my
success solely and entirely to the use Of
money-a statement as absolutely unfair
and unjust as IL was untrue. ! realized
that the two papers in whose columns the
interviews appeared, were inimicable TO
my interest during the campaign, but felt
that / would receive fair treatment at
their hands now that the election was
over. But such has not been the case,
and as I said what 1 did IN the presence
Of responsible witnesses. ! can only char
acterize the interviews az gross misrep-
reservations. unfair. and unjust In every
particular. and 50 grossly distorted as
to amount to a practical Justification.
II made no statement regarding the use
of money on election day whatever. and
have expressed in the above statement
what 1 did say with reference to money
on that occasion.
In conclusion. regret that these inter
views, containing statements untrue and
unwarranted, have been given the prOmi-
nence they have in tle public press. and
were it net fu- this fact I would not feel
myself called upon to answer them at this
time. but with this explanation and state
ment over my own signature as to what
actually did occur at the time. I shall
consider the incidents, so far as am con-
cerned closed. ", Il. JACKSON

FARMER TOUCHED FOR Coin
Confding Stranger Obtains Charge
of Reeves Savings.
Comes to see washington and Is
SwindIed by Ancient Form of
"FIIm-fiam'' Game-LOses sIT5.

A revival OF the most ancient form Of
the "fiim-aam" game by an unknown
white man yesterday, caused Ellis Reeves.
a sightseeing farmer from Orange. Va.
to be pried away from nearly 500 in
hard-eaTned cash.
According to Reeves, he was gazing
with interest at the tail buildings along
Pennsylvania avenue when he was &C
costed by a well-dressed man who seemed
70 take an immediate interest in him.
Reeves eagerly agreed to the others prop
osition that they see the town, and after
they had visited several places the
stranger became confidential and offered
to secure employment for the farmer.
However. the stranger desired some ref
eTences before he could be responsible for
introducing Reeves 10 his probable en-
ployer
Reeves explained that he was a stranger
in the city. and could not mention any
references here. but to show that he was
not an adventurer he showed a roll os
money aggregating S175. This the stranger
/ took 10 count, and replacing il in the en-
yelope in which Reeves carried u. he re-
turned the money to the farmer. They
were in the city pOst-ofice at the time
and the gracious stranger suggested that
they view the second floor.
Reeves suddenly found himself on the
elevator unattended. and on opening the
envelope he found only q wad OF paper.
The stranger has not since been seen. and
Detective Evans has been employed on the
case. Reeves had saved the earnings OF
summer to see Washington.

CARUSO ARRESTED AS MASHER
Opera Singer Seized by Policeman in
Monkey House, Central Park.
Manager COnried Gives Bail for the
Italian Tenor, Who Is III at the
savoy from Excitement.

New York. Nov, 16-Enrico Caruso. the
opera singer was arrested as q masher
in the monkey house Of Central Park
this afternoon. and was locked up for
several hours before he was able TO COM
municate with Manager Conried, OF the
Metropolitan Opera House. who signed
his bond and secured his release. He de-
posted $500 cash bond.
Mrs. Hannah Graham and her little son
were in the monkey house in Central Park
] this afternoon. leaning on the railing IN
| front Of a cage of lively apes A short.
stout man. who occasionally fingered an
uptiited mustache. pressed against Mrs.
Graham's right side.
He appeared 10 be keenly interested in
the playful monkeys. A policeman, James
J. Kane, whose special business It is TO
! see that women in the park are not an
n0yed by mashers. and whose particular
| beat is the monkey house and environ
ments, was standing at the back of the
room, when he noticed the woman and
| little boy. and kept his eye also on the
.foreign-looking man"
He saw that the woman appeared to be
/ uiSlGi bcA. anu iHdt-g- WEeu she WneeleG
around with a very red face. and said:
See here. what are you doing?" Kane
ran over to the railing and grabbed the
man by the arm, saying to the woman:
DO you want 20 make complaint
against this MANI"
Il certainly do" said Mrs Graham.
'He has insulted me-
The stout man got excited and agtated
when he felt Kaue's hand gripping his
arm. In fairly good English. but with a
pronounced Italian accent. he protested,
but was taken to the Arsenal police sta
ton, where he was locked up.
Mr. Cenried, when notified, hurried 10
the station He was evidently worried
He said: Il understand that Mr. Caruso.
my tenor. Is in a cell here
When the singer was brought from the
cell. Mr.. Carusos face was woeful. As
socn as he saw Herr Conried, II lighted
up and he threw his arms around Con-
ried's neck. "Oh, I'm so glad to see you, -
said the singer, as he embraced Herr
Conried. I'm so glad TO be released
from that awful dungeon, where they
put me"
Conried put Caruso into the cab and
they drove to the Hotel Savoy, where
| CarusO has an apartment.
Late tonight the press agent Of the
Metropolitan said:
Il have statement to make for Mr.
Caruso. He is utterly in the dark as to
why he was arrested He is enraged
about it. Now he is sick in bed at the
Savoy, but as soon as he is able ne will
sue the police department for false ar
rest Mr.. Caruso cannot speak English,
and does not understand a word Of IT,
hence he didn't know what questions they
put to him at the police station"

The new scheme Of bOoEmaking necessi-
tated by the activity of the District attor-
ney's Office put crimD in the business at
The first day Of the annual meeting at The
Benning race track yesterday.
Nobody was satisfied
The bookmaker himself was the most
diseontented Of the lot. He said it wasn't
worth while if he had to run into such a
cheap way of doing things. The old race
goer and plunger. Of whom even Wash
ington has few. didn't like the new or
der Of things, because ne couldn't be Just
sure where and when he was going to
cash In his bets.
The Diker didn't like it a bit because he
had to put up his little pile on the first
sure thing and then stand his chances
with the rest of the field in getting it back
in time TO taFe flyer at the next race.
The reformer didn't think very much
about it, for while the scheme created
great disorder it by no means stopped
gambling. He couldn't see the difference
between placing bet with a bookmaker
sitting on a stool and one on the run from
corner to corner of the field.
Policemen Liked IL.
The only person among the hundreds
who attended the opening that had any
liking for the new order of things was the
policemen. Yes. indeed; he really thought
it was great For while all the rest Of the
sport lovers were handicapped, he was in
his element
He was putting stop to gambling, don't
you know! 1t is whispered that some Of
the bluecoated saviors Of the peace laid a
few bets on the side with the trotting
bookies. Maybe they did it just to get
evidence. Maybe!
It was day of chaos and disorder. of
wild running to and fro, Of misunder-
standing and disappointment It's all
right, Of course, to go out 20 the track and
lose your weeks salary. When its gone
it's gone. But when you don't know how
or why or where IL is going, when a
strange bOoKie puts it in his jeans and to
all intents and purposes disappears of the
face Of the globe. then the satisfaction is
on the debit side Of the ledger
That's the way 1t was.
Dislike Trotting BOokmaker.
For the dear American public Is not ac-
customed 10 the trOtting bo0kmaker.
Your Washington bettor wants his
straight. He likes TO go out under the
shed and see his little wager recorded on
the long sheet by the fellow sitting on a
stool. Then he's sure he's going to get
run for his money. The trotting book
maker may have his points but
They say that's the way they do it over
in England. The British bookmaker. at
least. doesn't sit under d shed He's
right out in the open, where everybody
can see him. But, anyway. he has
prescribed circle, and they do say that
he sticks 10 il.
But the Benning boOhunakers went the

INDIAN QUAKE THEORY.

Believe Center of Earth Is Filled
with Compressed Hot Lava.
Major Cicero Newell tells why there
are such things as earthquakes, tidal
waves and volcanoes, says a special
Chicago Record-Herald. The major
learned these things from the Dakota
Indians.
"When 1 lived among the Dakotas,' .
said he, II found men who, like, Bud
dha, gave seven years of their lives to
prayer. and fasting that they might be-
come pure In the sight of God, or the
Great Spirit, as they call that being.
After they have proved themselves be-
fore their people by performing so
hands and arms in boiling water and
not being burned, shot with poisoned
arrows and not harmed, bitten by rat
tlesnakes and not poisoned and many
other tests that have witnessed, they
are accepted as holy or wise men. The
Indians believe that they can get the
word direct from God, or the Great
Spirit, the same as the wise men and
seers of old used to do. l have asked
these sintelligenees to tell me about the
cause of earthquakes and tidal waves,
and they explain it like this:
They say volcanoes are the safety
valves of the earth. That the rim of
the earth is gradually cooling. AS it
eools it contracts, making the pressure
on the hot lava in the interior greater.
At last something must give way, this
rim must crack open or the volcanoes
must burst forth and emit this COM
pressed lava.
,'Sometimes it is relieved In one way,
earth crack In midocean, where the
crust is usually thinner, then the wa
tiers of the ocean fill in and there Is a
great explosion as the water strikes
this great bed of hot lava, large masses
of the rim are thrown up and islands
appear. Sometimes they stay on the
surface of the ocean, sometimes they
fall back and are. again covered with
water, but that upheaval so lifts the
water that great wave Is started
for the shore that carries death and
destruction in its way.
Many of the old safety valves in
the earth are now closing up; only q
few remain. The crust is becoming
so thick that the cooling process Is
more slow"

Highest water Tower For Fires.

Highest Water Tower For Fires.
When the Long building in Kansas
City. No.. is finished it will be the
highest fire department water tower
in the world, says the Chicago Trib-
une An order was placed for the con-
struction of six inch steel water pipe
from the ground to the roof, SO ar
ranged that four lines of fire hose may
be attached at the roof nozzles, and
steamers can assist the city water de-
partment pumps by tapping the pipe
at the street connection. With firemen
able to stand on top of the fourteen
story building and throw four great
streams of water 1t is estimated the
insurance risks In the immediate neigh
borhood will drop materially. Insur-
,ance men have been calling for these
roof standpipes for years. but the Long
building is the first to adopt the sug-
gestion.
