Pittsburg. April Former Gov. Stone
to-day issued startling statement re-
gsrding his alleged connection with the
81 0e0.0o0 graft in the new Sl3.000009 State
capitol at Harrisburg 1t was stated that
Gov Stone. with former Auditor General
William p. Snyder and former State
Treasurer William L. Mathues, let a con-
tract 10 Congressman II. Burd Cassel for
s. 100000 worth of steel filing cases before
the foundations of the capitol were
started
Gov. Stone says:
There was no contract let 10 Congress-
maa Cassel for filing cases while 1 was a
member of the board of public buildings
and grounds, with my consent or knowl-
edge. The other two members OF the
board were elective officers and l had no
authority over them. and they were also
legal majority of the board.
Many times the other two members oi
the board wanted me 10 let the contract to
Cassel, but I refused to be party TO any
such deal, and 50 Informed them. Finally
it looked as though they were going 10
let the contract in spite Of my refusal
and / then threatened TO expose them
unless they quit their shady work. Once
they tried to let the contract while was
absent from Harrisburg, but ! blocked the
scheme.
II have no knowledge of the letting OF

that we should provide the most efficient

What is needed is a commission OF
dignity. OF force. Of ability, representing
tire best intelligence of the state avail
able for the purpose, and proceeding in a

There are many other phases of the

attention The power 10 issue stock and

NO consolidation or merger 81 interests

from am abuse of the freedom which has
been enjoyed under corporate laws are
patent TO all. The power of the State
should be exercised to compel respect for
the public interest
And in attempting to provide remedies
for the correction Of known evils let them
be real remedies not mere makcshifts
which will bring the Jaw and its admin

Finally the Colonial stood of, and the
BluecheF weighed anchor and shifted her
position further on the leesh0re The
Colonial then snuggled up to the steamer,
but was dashed away A gang plank was
lowered. and as the tender rolled on the
crest Of a wave the passengers were
passed up 10 the extended arms of the
crew, but the tender dropped back into
the d, trough Ten passengers mostly
women. were got aboard before this haz-
ard0us plan was abandoned
Deck Rail Carried Away.
The Colonial finally smashed against the
Bluecher. carrying away her upper deck
rail- Some Of those aboard of her were
knocked down by the shock. Then a steam
pipe in the engine-room Of the tender
burst and the Colonial was ordesed to re-
turn TO shore by Capt Ressing The ten
der rolled and pitched badly in the sea
way and her male passengers were or
dered into the hold. in order to steady her.
The women were huddled in the cabin.
During the height Of the excitement

washed overheard No life boat was
available on the tender. and the Bieucher
was too far away 20 render assistance

in the speedy Improvement in local trac-
