CLAIMS THAT HE
WAS HELD Up
Agent For Asphalt Company Pleads
Guilty to The Charge Of
Bribery.
CITY CONTRACT COST HIM $4,000

Green Bay, Wis, April 5.-District
Attorney Samuel Cady has achieved a
notable triumph in the first case of
%holesale new graft prosecutions
threatened when pleas of guilty were
entered by Charles M. Carpenter Of
Chicago, general agent for Wisconsin
for the Barber Asphalt company, on
three counts alleging bribery. Car
penter stated on the witness stand
that in securing contract awarded
in November, 1901, for asphalt pave
ment, he gave bribes aggregating $2,-
600 to three Green Bay aldermen. He
testified that he understood that of
this amount Albert L. Gray and Henry
Porth, both recently resigned from the
council, received $1,000 and $400, re-
spectively, and George ]. Schwartz,
recently convicted for subornation of
perjury, $500. Carpenter declares he
was victim of holdup The bribes,
he testified, were paid out Of his own
pocket and the Barber Asphalt con-
pany had no knowledge of the trans
actions. Carpenter paid fine of
$1,000 and costs of $100.

NO AUTHORITY TO OPERATE
CHICAGO VOTERS APPROVE PUR.
CHASE OF STREET RAILWAYS
BY MUNICIPALITY. -

Chicago, April 5.-In the city cleo
ton at Chicago the voters approved
the purchase of the street railway
lines by the municipality, but failed
to give the necessary majority to al
low the city to operate the lines. Three
propositions were submitted to the
voters, the first of which was:
"Shall the city of Chicago proceed
to operate street railways?"
This required 60 per cent of the
total vote cast in order to become ef-
fective. The total vote was 231,17
TIE proposition received but 120,911
votes, 1882 short of the necessary
three-ffths.
The second proposition involved the
approval of an ordinance providing
for the issue of street railway certifi-
Gates in amount not to exceed $75,-
100000 for the purchase, ownership
and maintenance Of the street rail
ways. This was carried by about
1889 votes.
The third question, which was sim
ply on the question of public policy
and has no legal effect whatever, was:
"Shall the city council proceed with
out delay to secure the municipal own
ership and operation of the street
railways under the Mueller law in.
stead of granting franchises to private
companies?' ~. ...,.-
This proposition was carried by
about 1887 votes. ~. r.
Of the thirty-fve aldermen who were
elected Mayor Dunno claims that nine
teen are avowed champions of munic-
ipal ownership and that he will have
less difficulty in passing measures re.
lating to that doctrine through the
city council than heretofore.
The faction opposed to municipal
ownership declares that it still holds
control of the council.

Washington, April 5.-Ship subsidy
hearings were begun during the day

LONG REST IMPERATIVE.

Depew Will Not Return to Washington
for Some Months.
New York, April 5.-The Tribune
says:
Senator Depew, who left Washing.
ton month ago on the advice of his
physician, will not, in all probability
resume his seat in the senate during
the present session. Since he returned
from the capital the senator has been
in retirement in Westchester county.
Both the senator's physician and a
member of his family say that the sole
reason for withholding information as
to his exact whereabouts is to afford
him the privacy without which abso-
lutte rest would be impossible.
The following statement of Senator
Depew's condition is taken from a
communication addressed to mem
ber of the senator's family by DR.,
Pearce Bailey of this city:
Senator Depew has been under my
care since last autumn. He is suffer
ing from nervous breakdown, the re
suit of prolonged strain. I now expect
him to make good recovery and re-
sumo his senatorial duties. For such a
result a complete rest of several
months is Imperative"
DR.. Bailey confirmed the foregoing
and added that the period of rest pre-
scribed would preclude the return of
the senator to Washington before the
end of the present session.
