GRAF I
Probe Started by Gov.
Harris Among State
Officers
ONLY THE BEGINNING

Columbus, Dec. 13.-A rigid inves-
tigation of graft charges against state
house employees was ordered by Gov.
Harris last night after a long secret
conference with the attorney generals
department. kilograms summoning
state officials to return to this city
post haste sent out indicate that there
is much more to the charges than the
governor or attorney general are at
present willing to admit
The charges which implicate En-
gineer Glenn G. Weinman are said to
involve officials of much higher rank.
Weinman is charged directly with
selling gas burners of his own patent
to the state. This he does not deny
and says IL it is against the law he
is guilty. OF more significance, how
ever is the charge that number of
state officials have formed a gas
burner company and that they have
been engaged In this business on
state time and expense.
Assistant Attorney General w. H.
Miller is conducting an investigation
of the charge that brass pipe and
trimmings purchased for use in con-
nection with the statehouse heating
plant were carted away at night in
large quantities and sold for junk. A
year ago the general assembly appro-
priated $4,000 to wire the building. The
work is as yet for from being COM
pleted.
Gov. Harris states that he would go
to the bottom of the charge&
Weinman states that he put the
burners in the statehouse because he
discovered there was an enormous
waste of coal. He says he sold them
to the state at much lower price
than that charged private users. He
denies knowledge of other charges.
In his statement Weinman says:
$50 far as working on state time
to perfect my invention is concerned
had as much right to do that as
does Auditor Guilbert to run a bank
or Assistant Adjutant General Kautz-
mann to act as claim agent for Span
ish war veterans on a commission"
Last night it was learned that Ad-
jutant General Critchfield is a stock
holder in the gas burner concern
handling Weinnan's invention. Wein-
man and other members of the Re-
publican organization have been
hauled over the Goals for party treach-
cry since the election. They charge
that politics is at the bottom of the
graft charges and that this is only
the beginning.

KILL TWO BIRDS
WITH ONE STONE

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 13. The
argument of the Burton lieutenants
is that, by electing a northern Ohio
man, both Senator Foraker and
Senator Dick will be disposed of
in one stroke, ana some of them are
bold enough to add that the same blow
would also put Ex-Governor Herrick
under the ropes If a southern Ohio
man is chosen next month, Burton,
Dick and Herrick will have to be dis
posed of when Dicks term expires.
The discouraging results of the eff
fort to create a sentiment for c. P.
Taft is planting in many minds a be-
lief that he cannot win the toga of
Foraker, and yet, the wiser politicians
insist that the power of the president
and barrel of money in combination
cannot be beaten.
