Homer s. King and Frank G.
Drum, Well-KnOwn in Salt
Lake, Must Explain.
PROSECUTION CLAIMS
THEY KNEW OF BRIBERY
At One Time King Was Presi-
dent of the Well-FargO
Bank of This City.

Included among the names that were
considered by the Grand jury at San
Francisco recently were those Of Hom-
er S. King and Frank G.. Drum, two
wealthy directors Of the Pacific States
Telephone company, who are we'll
known here, both having formerly been
engaged In business in Salt Lake City.
The jury is determining whether the
evidence is sufficient 20 indict them for
bribery. The prosecution contends that
they, with the other three members of
the executive committee of the board
OF directors Of the Pacific States Tele-
phone company, must have known the
purpose of the disbursement of $4,000
by the political lobbyist, Theodore V.
Halsey, now under indictment on ten
charges Of bribery. Halsey, it is al
legged, paid $4,000 each for ten promises
to vote against the proposed ordinance
granting a franchise in San Francisco
to the Home Telephone company.
Homer s. King was formerly presi>
dent of the Wells-Fargo bank in this
city and is now president OF the bank
in California. He was member of
the executive committee during the pur-
chase of the promises of the ten super.
visors. He admitted that he knew of
Ruef employment as Especial coun-
sell" by Halsey at salary of $1,000
month, but testified before the Grand
jury that when he signed the $4,000
check he had no idea it was for bri~
berry purposes.
Frank G. Drum was at one time as
sociated with local mining company,
and Is now California attorney and
capitalist. He testified that he did not
know that Halsey intended to bring
the supervisors to certain rooms, which
he had engaged, for the purpose Of
bribing them. He asserted that $4,000
could have been disbursed in single
amount by Halsey without the official
or personal knowledge of the members
of the executive committee. On tho
other hand, the employees of the Pacific
States Telephone company, who had ap.-
peared before the Grand jury, testified
that such a sum could not have been
paid out in one lump without the know"
ledge of the committee.

DID HOLL|NGSWORTH
FATHER AMENDMENT?
An Official of Salt Lake Says
Weber County Senator Did
1t; He Is Elusive.

An official Of Salt Lake City is author
ity for the statement that Senator c. p.

ouced the obnoxious amendment to Sem
ate bill ls7. which makes the carrying

ditionsl expense to the property owner

senator Hollingsworth and obtain from
nm statement relative to the matter,
but in this he was unsuccessful. the
Ogden statesman could not be found.
A scrutiny Of tho journal and docket
OF the Senate throws no light on the
matter; there is absolutely no record as
TO who introduced amendments to this
or any bill.
In municipal affairs Senator Hollings-
worth was particularly active. and II

feated.

one else He relates. however. the man

came TO his desk on the day prior 10
tho adjournment OF the Legislature. It
was a slip of paper. typewriter IN red;

the bills OF the Senate and the House.
Speaking OF The incident yesterday.
Senator Hulanisk! said that he had to
agree. under The law, with the construc-
t!on that Judge ogden Hiles had placed
on this amendment to the statute, and
he denounced the particular piece OF
work. But he had no knowledge as to
who was responsible for II. That 1t was
Irregular and an infringement of public
rights he had no doubt. Had II come
