Susie Starr Begins an Action Against
Her Sister.

Susie Star has filed suit in district
court against A. w. and May L. Maui
pin in which she alleges that May
Maupin, one OF the defendants, is her
sister. That their mother, Ladocia
E. Gage. died May leaving property
on Poplar street in Oakland valued at
$1,000. and that the defendant and
her husband had induced the mother
to deed this property over to said
A. w. Maupin before her death, thus
cutting off this plaintiff without any
share in her mothers estate. That her
mother was an old lady at the time
of her death and sick with fever and
that these defendants took undue adj
vantage of the fact, as they were liv-
ing in the house with Mrs. Gage at
the time of and prior to her death.
That they also persuaded her to take
out life insurance policy in their
favor and pay premiums on same
from her pension money. The plain
tiff asks the court to set aside the deed
Of the property to A L. Maupin and
divide the estate equally between her
and her sister. the defendant, May l..
Maupin.

civil service commission setting forth
the regulations on the subject. The
penalty for political activity as set
forth in the regulations is:
ANY man violating the provisions
of the rule in question renders him.
self liable to punishment by removal"
The rule to which this attaches is:
"No person in the executive civil ser.
vice shall use his official authority or
influence for the purpose of interfer.
Ing with any election or affecting the
result thereof. Persons who by the
provisions of these rules are in the

ASKED TO RETRACT.
Delegation Had No More Influence on
Senator Ackroyd Than His Wife
and Dauuhter,

Albany, April 14.-Senator Joseph
kckroyd of Oneida was visited last
night in the senate lobby by a group
of men from Utica urging him to re-
verse his vote cast last week against
the Agnew-Hart anti-gambling bills.
These men were subcommittee of
committee appointed at the mass
meeting held in Utica Sunday, which
was addressed by Governor Hughes,
and included ex-NIayor Henry Martin,
a Democrat; John L. Maher, former
president of the Utica Chamber of
Commerce, who said he was Republi-
can, who had voted for Senator Ack-
royd; George Greenan, T. S. Griffith,

said one of the members of the dele
cation to Senator Ackroyd.
"This is state proposition" replied
Senator Ackroyd, land when I voted
against these bills considered myself
as representing the constituency of the
entire state, not alone the local con-
stituency of Oneida county"
"But we, as residents of Oneida
county, sent you here to represent u.s."
replied one of the visitors, "and we
believe we are entitled to some
rights"
Senator Ackroyd informed the COM
mittee that he had received letters
from Oneida county both for and
against the racetrack bills and when
he voted against them he did what he
thought was right. He informed the
delegation, however, that he would
take their request under consideration.
Senator Ackroyd said last evening
that he was not a candidate for re-
election. He added: "My wife and
daughter have been urging me to re-
verse my vote and declined to do so.

INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS
But Attorney General Says Nothing
Has Been Yet Found to Justify
LEGAL Proceedings.

Washington, April 1.-THE attor.
ney general sent to Speaker Cannon q
letter in reply to the house resolution
asking what steps have been taken by
the government to investigate the al
legged combination of wood pulp or
print paper manufacturers. The at
torney general says an investigation ia
in progress but no evidence has yet
been obtained to justify legal pro-
ceedings.
He sayp that when the investiga.
tion and the report thereon is com.
pleted he will submit them without de.
lay if he can do so without affecting
the interests of justice, but that II the
investigation should lead to civil or
criminal proceedings it may continue
eXpedient to temporarily withhold
from the public the evidence and In.
formation.
at is proper for me to say in this
connection" says the attorney gen.
eral in his letter that certain al.
legged facts We're submitted to this de.
partment when the aforementioned
| investigation was commenced which
apparently authorized the belief that
| serious and readily-proven offenses
against the laws of the United States
had been committed in the premises,
and immediate action by the appro.
pirate officer was thereupon promptly
ordered; but these orders disclosed
that no legal proof could be secured Of
the alleged offenses, the evidence re-
| lied upon to establish them turning
out to be merely hearsay and the
complainant himself, who had furnish.
ed this information, refusing to give
the name Of a witness supposed to
have personal knowledge of the said
| facts.
Before taking action under the So
called antitrust law it has been the
unvarying practice of this department
to very thoroughly sift the allegations
of such complaints, and the consider
able proportion of successful prosecu.
tions under the said statute seems to
| justify TINS pfaCtlCe.
"ln this instance, information so
as aforesaid furnished, when slfted,
showed an undoubted, general and
| considerable increase in the prices OF
certain kinds of paper, but that such
increase was due to any contract,
combination or conspiracy in restraint
of trade was a matter OF conjecture
and suspicion only, although it seem.
ed probable that proof to establish
this might be found through search.
Ing and judicious inquiry
81 regret that the public interest
! prevents me from fully and promptly
complying with the request contained
in the above mentioned resolution.
When this investigation has been
completed and the report Of the Unit
ed States attorney entrusted there.
with is received I may be in posi-.
tion to furnish the house of repre-
sentatives with the papers and in.
formation called for, without injur.
iousy affecting the interests Of jus.
tice, and | shall, in such case, submit
them without delay. If, however, the
said investigation should lead to civil
or criminal proceedings, it may con-
tinue eXpedient to temporarily with.
hold from the public evidence and in.
formation now or hereafter secured,

proceedings shall have been finally de-
termined."
