HENEY SUSPECTS THAT
SOMETHING WAS WRONG
Hint Thrown Out During Glass Trial That Brib-
cry Trick Was Turned in
Salt Lake.
January, 1906 the Time Fixed by Witness Slice When Zion
Was Visited by Telephone Official.

San Francisco, Aug. 23.-Alfred J.
Stice, formerly an official of the Pa
citic States Telephone company, was
called as a witness for the prosecution
on the resumption of the Glass bribery
trial this morning. He testified that he
was assistant general manager of the
corporation under Louis Glass at the
period of the alleged briberies, and
that Theodore V. Halsey, as "Opposi-
ton agent" worked directly under
Mr.. Glass. Mr.. Stice said he accom-
panied Henry 7. Scott to Portland in
February of 1906 Immediately after the
selection of the latter by President
Fish of the American Telephone & Tel
egraph company to be president Of the
Pacific States company, Succeeding the
late John 1. Sabin.
at that time" said the witness, in
response to a question by Mr.. Heney,
Mr. Scott had no practical knowledge
of the telephone business.
Conditions Were Rotten.
Mr.. Stice strengthened the "elimina-
ton process" of the prosecution by
stating that in January and February
of 1906 Mr.. Scott was not in active
charge Of the company. The supervis-
ors are alleged to have been bribed by
Haisey in the latter month. Speaking
of the coming to San Francisco of Mr.
Pickernen, assistant to President Fish,

said: If you will allow the expression,
the condition of the Pacific Telephone
company at that time was rotten. For

periors. l know, because 1 drew up

Scott at Portland in January of 1906,

co. but that he failed to do so because
he was delayed in Salt Lake City. To
d. Heney the inference of this was that
PickernelPs task in the Utah metrop-
oils might have been the bribing of
public officials. inasmuch as a strong
opposition was being advanced there
by the Home Telephone company, and
that if he bribed Salt Lake officials a
reasonable suppOsitiOn would be that
he subsequently authorized the bribing
of San Francisco's supervisors.
Stice Didn't Know.
To offset this covert suggestion to
the jury Delmas asked Stice:

The most important piece of direct
evidence yet adduced in favor of the
defendant came from the lips of wit

Smith, for eleven years an employe of
the Pacific States company. Through
out the time of the alleged bribery pc
Rod he was stenOgraPher in the office
of General Manager Glass. He testi-
fed that prior to that time he often
carried checks between the auditing
department and Glass office. But he
stated with much positiveness that
during the alleged period he never car
ried a single order from Glass to Zim-
mer for the signing of a check.
What makes you so positive of
that?" demanded Heney.
Because he answered, during that
time Mr.. Glass did not seem to have
much to do with the drawing of
checks"

his controversy with the federal admin
istratiOh
Senator Foraker's reply is summed up
as follows
That Secretary Taft is losing ground
in Ohio, although if nominated all Re

That his controversy with the president
is over the question whether a public
servant shall do his own thinking.
That if Secretary Taft is correct in
saving that there are evils in the tariff
they ought to be removed at once. with
out waiting eighteen months.
Holds Secretary Is Wrong.
That the secretary is wrong in saying
that another great body of Republicans
desired the tariff revised either now or
eighteen months hence.
That the rate bill instead of strength
ening the Elkins bill Weakens it.
That through an amendment inserted
by Senator Lodge, a friend of the admin
istration. the harm was done, as his
amendment required proof that an Of
Tense was knowingly done
That if the Standard Oil rebate of
lenses had been committed after this
amendment the word knowingly would
have cost the United States $29, 900 900 in
fines in Judge Lands court

the EllxiEs law was made at the sugges-
ton of the interstate commerce commits
