WHOSE PASSES
HAVE BEEN CUT OFF LIKELY
TO RETALIATE.
Disposition Among Them to Stand
Their Ground in Getting Even
With Railroads,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Retalia-
ton against the railroads for cutting
off passes is already being talked of
among members of congress. Many
of them were compelled to pay rail-
road fare to return to Washington.
Members of congress are allowed 20
and returning from their homes from a
session of congress, but they lave
hitherto travelled on passes and used
the mileage for other purposes.
There is a disposition among them
to stand their ground together in the
matter of getting even with the roads.
The eastern and southern men feel
that it Is an encroachment upon their
perquisites and are willing to aid their
western and northern brethren in the
fight.
Should provision be inserted in the
postoffice appropriation bill, reducing
the pay Of the railroads for transpor-
tation and handling Of mails 1t would
in all probability go through. The Of
ficials of the postoff1ce department are
thoroughly in favor of it. Postmaster
General Cortelyou and his predeces-
sors have maintained that the rate Is
entirely too high.
All former movements to reduce the
rate paid the railroads for handling
the mails in the past have been smoth-
cred through the agents or counsel
Of the railroads. There are numerous
other ways in which congress can wor-
ry the railroads, and according to the
membesr Of the house they are going
to do all they can to annoy them so
long as the mo pass" order is in effect

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 1.-THE
cause of the suicide of Leland w. Prior,
the broker, is believed by bankers who
are probing his accounts, was that ne
sold forged municipal bonds in various
parts of the country. He was also
heavily involved with customers for
whom he was carrying New York ex-
change accounts. Detectives employed
by the bankers committee are seeking
to find who engraved the bonds and
VINO assisted in the disposition of them.
Arrests are expected. 1t seems clear
there were a number of confederates
The bonds were sold in small lots, some
to investors in the west and others in
the east 1t has been discovered that
they were not sold in large quantities
to any one investor. One of the men
investigating said that Prior's failure
will probably amount to a million or
a million and half dollars, The sus-

position and voted with Bachtold, Nc
Kean and Martin to restore the Ii
censes of three of the outlawed saloons
kirkman Makes Statement.
The Statesman wishes to be fair and
it has called upon Mr.. Kirkman to
make his own explanation of his
change of position. Here is what he
told Statesman reporter:
Il voted to grant the three licenses
not because there was any doubt OF
their guilt, for they were unquestion-
ably guilty, but for the reason be-
lieved the saloon men were punished to
an equivalent Of a $4,000 or $4,000 fine
adding to the actual license money for
feited, their loss in profits and costs
contracted during the time the sa-
looms were closed. However, now that
the saloon men have been given to un-
derstand that the council meant busi-
ness should any Of them be caught in
the same net, they need not expect
any leniency from me as far as am
concerned.
MY idea was that the main object to
be attained by the council was the en-
forcement of the laws governing sa-
looms. 1t was pretty generally known
that there was gambling in several sa-
looms in Walla Walla. The council
received what it deemed was sufficient
evidence to sustain a case in court
against five saloon men. 1t was re-
gretted, at the time that the commit
tee made the investigation that it had
not rounded up evidence against other
notorious resorts, but the council felt
evidence and so revoked the licenses in
the five cases.
I'm the meantime the council passed
an ordinance giving the power to re-
woke saloon licenses whenever in their
judgment the licensee is not conduct
ing his business in accordance with
the laws and charter provisions gov
erning saloons, and l believe that every
saloon man in the city Of Walla
Walla understands what will happen if
he wilfully violates the law
IF instead of coming before the
council these men had been called up
in court and each of the defendants
fined $4,000 to $4,000, accompanied by a
reprimand from the court with an ex-
planation that he was dealing leniently
with them for the reason there had
been open and wholesale violation OF
this law, coupled with the statement
that should they ever appear on the
same charge that he would deal with
them as harsly as the law would per-
init, every self-respecting and law
abiding citizens would have endorsed
the actions and sentiment of such a
court
