SEEMED TO KNOW ABOUT COR
RUPT DEAL FOR MITCHELL
Fulton Saw Chamberlain to Protest
Against Smiths Appointment as a
Warden I'm State Prison and At
tackled Him Because He Had Made
a Corrupt Deal With Mitchell TO
Break Deadlock and Then Failed
10 Keep His Agreement.

Salem, Jan. 3O.-Today Governor
Chamberlain issued a statement in
relation to his part in the Heney-
Fulton controversy regarding the
statements of ]. $. Smith that Full
ton had attempted to bribe him TO
vote for Mitchell in the. senatorial
fight of 1897.
Chamberlain said: Fulton called
to protest against the appointment OF
Smith as warden in the state prison.
To my surprise Fulton did not at
tack Smith on the ground Of incom-
potency, but abused him on the
ground OF unfitness because he had
made a corrupt bargain with Mitchell
to go into the legislature and break
the deadlock and then failed to keep
this agreement.
Fulton mentioned no specified sum
OF money, but said over and over
again, He took the old mans mon
ey and did not keep his agreement. "

Loans.
New York, Jan. SO.-Financial
problems connected with the loaning
of small sums of money to friends
have recently occupied the mind of
young John d. Rockefeller, jr. As
a result, he has compiled some finan-
cial "dor'ts" for the guidance of the
members of his Sunday school class.
Among them are the following:
Don't loan money to anybody
without taking a note and charging
interest. II man asks a temporary
loan of IS or $40, promising to re-
pay 1t in a few days and never in
tending to do so, It is your religious
duty to refuse him. Don't loan mon
ey to friends. or you'll lose them
Don't take Christ's command to give
to the poor literally. 1t was never so
intended. Give them sympathy and
advice, but keep your money in your
pocket unless you get a note in re-
turn and are certain of receiving both
and interest"
