WOULD NOT INDICT BRIBERS
West Virginia Grand Jury Refuses
to Investigate Vote Buying.

Martinsburg. w Va Dec. 5.-The
November term of the Berkeley Circuit
Court adjourned to-day without having
taken any action on the election
bribery cases, and this failure to indict
those who are publicly known 70 be
guilty Of gross corruption in Berkeley
County has occasioned no surprise
among those conversant with the ex-
tent of the practice Of buying votes at
the elections here.
Not q single witness was summoned
before that body, Notwithstanding the
fact that several mebcTs OF the grand
jury were personally acquainted with
such facts as could have secured sew
eraI indictments.
out Of a total vote OF 500. il is
stated by leaders OF both parties that
at least 1.700 belong 10 the purchasable
class. while many more must be paid
for voting the ticket Of the party 10
which they belong. As high as S25 is
paid for a single vote, and men with
great wads Of money are stationed by
both parties at each voting place in
the county.
1t is known that certain grand juries
that were asked to indict election
bribers contained several men who
were personally guilty of this offense.
and who would have been in position
10 block any attempt TO return a true
bill.
An agreement. however, has been
reached among political leaders -
stamp out vote-buyiHg hereafter.

SHAW RELIEVES MARKET.
Anticipates Payment of SI2,OOO,O0O
Interest on Public Debt.

In anticipating the payment of about
S12, ,o00 900 interest on the public debt
yesterday, Secretary Shaw was in
fuenced by the fact that the Treasury
collected surplus revenues amounting
to $1,000, 900 in the month of November,
and that the current month is also
likely to 'be a month of surplus re-
ceipts-
In December. 1905, the surplus re-
ceipts were S5,5O0,O0o. The action
taken. therefore, releases for use in the
business Of the country sum prac-
tically equal to the surplus receipts for
November and December. In the pres
ent activity Of business, the Secretary
was unwilling to permit the operations
Of his department to aggravate present
conditions in the money market.
1t was thought best to anticipate two
quarterly payments at one time, as in
this way holders of registered bonds
viii only be obliged TO send the bonds
10 the Treasury to be stamped once in
stead of twice.
