District Attorney Moran Scents Mere
Diversions OF Campaign Funds.
BOSTON, June sO.-Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge will be summoned to appear before
the Grand Jury OF Tuesday 10 testify as to
what he knows regarding contributions to
the Republican State committee. It ap-
peared at the trial Of Robert q. Proctor.
Lodges secretary, who was convicted Of
the larceny OF S225 from John q. Rostgon. q
campaign contributor. that the Senator and
Mr.. Proctor had conferences at the head
quarters Of the State committee, especially
on the day that Rostgon gave the s226 to
Proctor.
This circumstance and others disclosed
by an examination OF the books and re-
vealed through the investigation OF the case
have strongly suggested a condition OF AZ
fairs that District Attorney Moran does not
think Is In conformity with the law. and II
there arc any attractions Of the criminal
statutes he IL determined to bring all to
justice.
Proctor testified that the money he re-
oeived was the only cont nbution given to
tary Of the Senator. No record Of 1t appears
on any book. The District Attorney, II 10
understood, has been led to believe from
what he knows Of political affairs generally
and from what he has found in the prose-
cution OF Proctor, that other money has
beer received and not accounted for.
Already ex-Attorney-Ge General Parker and
j. W. McAnarney, counsel for Proctor:
Thomas Talbot, chairman. and Joseph Fl.
Peterson, treasurer Of the Republican State
Committee; James b. Reynolds, Assistant
self have been summoned. It Is probable
that others prominent In the Republican
party who are likely to ave knowledge OF
campaign contributions will be summoned
also. The summons on Mr.. Lodge will be
served on his arrival from Washington.

NEWPORT, June 80.-The tax collector
Of Newport to-day turned over the tax book
for 1905 to the city clerk, and the figures
given are most interesting, showing a de-
crease from last years tax OF sos ,o8S 100,
the greater part Of which is in personal

Last year the assessors taxed summer
residents, and'as q result there has been q

taxpayers had a part of their assessment
RENTED and in some instances erased
from the tax books entirely. In one In
stance, that Of Henry A. c. Taylor. who last
year was taxed for 81 900 900, he removed
his residence from Newport, taking up his
legal residence in the town Of Portsmouth,
where he has q large farm and where the
