PAID LARGE SUN
T. TO CITY OFFICIAL
Direct Charge Of Bribery Is
Made at Montreal Civic
Investigation

Montreal, May S.-The first direct
charges of bribery brought out since
the opening Of the civic royal commits
sion were made this afternoon, when
one of the witnesses declared that he
had been informed by the man who
sold the site for No. IL police station
that he had had to give $1,000 to
Chairman Prouix, of the police COM
mittee, as a condition to selling the
property to the city. This outspoken
statement created a tremendous SEN
sation in the court, and the witness
was sharply cross-examined as to it,
but stuck persistently to his story.
This point was made by Fred Le-
clair, manager of the Theater Royal.
He swore that he had been living as
tenant with Pierre Leclaire. the
owner of the property which was sold
to the city for the new police station.
Pierre Leclaire, he said, had fire.
quently consulted him regarding the
sale. and had told him that a condi-
ton to the negotiation for the sale
was that If the city bought the prop
erty he was to give $1,000 to Aid.
Prouix as personal gift.
Pierre Eeclaire in his examination
did not mention this matter, but stat
ed that he had sold the property to
the city for $16,225, and had deposited
$4,000 in the bank in his wife's name,
using the odd $4,000 to pay off mort
gage on the property. Fred Leclaire
however, swore that Pierre had told
him the mortgage to be discharged
only amounted to $4,000.
Paid Big Price for Property.
The rest of the day was devoted to
taking evidence as to the value OF
the property. various real estate men
valuing it at from $4,000 to $4,000,
whereas 1t was sold to the city for
over $4,000. 1t was also shown that
shortly after the sale had been made
by Pierre Leclaire he was given a
good job by the city as foreman in
the water department.
These direct charges have excited
great interest and will be thoroughly
prObed tomorrow.

TEST TARIFF
VOTE a To 81
Ten Republicans Voted With
Democrats Including John
son of North Dakota

Washington, May S.-A fairly ac-
curate estimate of the strength of the
Republican insurrection in the senate
against the tariff bill was furnished
today when the first record vote was
taken on the schedules. 1t came on
the committee amendment to the item
of orange mineral, by-product of
lead. upon which the rate was to be
raised from 27s cents to 3ss cents per
pound. AS a matter of fact. the in
crease was made merely for the pur-
pose of providing the proper differen-
tlal in accordance with the lead rates
fixed by the house. and it was so ex.
planned by Chairman Aldrich.
But Senator Bristow of Kansas dis
covered that orange mineral is used
in making paint and that paint is
used largely by the farmers of the
west. and that to put this rate up
would be hardship upon the farm
ers. who toll and sweat to eke out
an existence with wheat at s1.25 a
bushel. Other western senators took
up the idea and the insurrection
was OH.
Still Safe Majority.
A roll call was demanded and was
welcomed by Mr.. Aldrich. who was
curious to know the extent of the dis
affection and whom he could depend
upon. The amendment was adopted by
a vote of II to 80. Ten Republicans
voted with the Democrats against the
proposition. and Beveridge of Indiana
declined to vote on the ground that
he had not had the matter sufficiently
explained to him.
The Republican senators off the
reservation were Bristow and Curtis
of Kansas. Brown and Burkett of Ne
braska. Crawford of South Dakota.
Cummins and Dolliver of Iowa. john
son OF North Dakota, l.aFollette of
Wisconsin and Nelson of Minnesota.
If this is the full strength of the
insurgents they will not be able to
accomplish much. for it will require
fourteen Republican votes with all
the Democrats to defeat any PROPOSE
tion submitted by the committee or
to defeat the bill. 1t was noticed that
Borah of Idaho. who has been classed
with the insurgents, voted for the
amendment. as 1t affected lead. a pro-
duct of his state, In which his con-
stituents are directly interested.
End is Not in Sight.
The possibilities of the passage of
the tariff bill and the adjournment of
the special session of congress before
June Is or July l seem to have van
ished. The conclusion has been
reached by the president as result
of recent talks with senators and rep
resentatives, and he made it known
today.
The senate Is not making tho haad
way with the Aldrich measure that
was expected. and before the new
tariff law can be presented to the
president for his action there must
ensue a long conference between the
representatives of the two houses of
congress.
Senator Scott introduced an amend
ment to the tariff bill making crude
