PITTSBURG WILL
 AIR GRAFT SCANDAL
MAYOR SAYS THAT EVERY ALDER. MAN OR OFFICIAL CONNECTED WITH THE $7o,ooo GRAFT WILL BE PUNISHED.

Pfttsburg, November 2i.-With the ar- rest Of U S. Cameeon, president of Iitbe City railroad and Common Councilman William A. Martin, on q charge of con spiracy to defraud the railroad out of s7o.ooO this time the police authorities being the prosecutors, and their subse- duent release in S1o,O0O bail each, the al- legged connection of the council with the bribery scandal is to be thoroughly and publicly ventilated.
 Mayor George w. Guthrie has taken personal charge of the police investiga- ton and reiterates emphatically that every person found to be implicated, every councilman or official in the dis tribution of $70,000 graft money, will be arrested and prosecuted
 More arrests are to follow those of Cameron and Martin, it is said, and m each case the charge will be bribery. Forty-seven members of select councils and twenty-five members of the common councils are said to be Implicated in the conspiracy. The police are keeping these men under surveillance. According to ev- dence said to be in the possession of Mayor Guthrie the councilmcn were to act favorably on the ordinances desired passed by the Tube City railroad. The railroad was to distribute s10.0O0 Of this sum S40,OOO was to go 10 the slXty-njne councilmen, while the remainder was to have been given to three other council men who acted as agents in the deal. The position taken by C. K. Richardsun who entered the first suit against Came ron and Martin for conspiracy was .bat of a broker. Richardson, who made statement to the police alleging se loaned Cameron S70,000 at the legal rate of i1- terest. Cameron was to deposit thls money in the bank after showing 1t so d committee of councilmen. The money dis appeared mysteriously, and Richardson, believing a conspiracy was on to peat him out of the money, en,ered suit. nicn- ardson's action disclosed several suspi- cious details, and the matter was taken up by Mayor Guthrie with the result that evidence has been gathered, 1t Is said, re- vealing to the police one of the most gl- gantic councllmanic bribery scandals ever known
