SAYS He BELIEVES
OFFICERS CORRUPT
WASHINGTON STATE SENATOR
TELLS OF CHARGES
investigating Committee Will Meet
Today to Prepare Report as to
neutrality-suspicious. Urged
to Convene

SEATTLE, June Estate Senator
Allen, chairman of the committee that
has investigated charges against state
officers and institutions, said today that
he would call a final meeting of the
committee tomorrow. At that meeting
the committee will get it's report in
shape for presentation to the governor
next week.
The executive has asked that if pos
sble the committees findings of facts
be placed before him at that time so he
will have plenty of time between then
and next week, when the special session
of the legislature convenes, to incorpo-
rate a digest of the committees report
in his message to the legislature.
Senator Allen said: 81 believe that
the allegations and revelations made
with regard to Insurance Commission
er John H Schively former Adjutant
General Hamilton, who is now in Jail
and other state officers, also the rumors
with regard to the mismanagement of
state institutions. demand the full and
searching investigation that only
special session of the legislature can
give.
"As chairman of the investigating
committee | am satisfied from what our
inquiry has revealed that a special ses-
sion to expose corruption thoroughly
wherever it exists is absolutely neces-
sary, no matter if it costs 100000 and
occupies a years time"

CHARGE OF DYNAMlTING MAY
BE DISMISSED
District Attorney of San Francisco
Moves for Close of Proceedings
Against John CIaudianes in
Oakland Court

OAKLAND, June .1S.-Distrlct Attor-
ney Lahgdon of San Francisco appeared
before Judge Wood this afternoon and
made a motion to have the charge
against John Claudianes of attempting
to dynamite the home of former Super
visor James L. Gallagher dismissed
from the Oakland courts. A formal or
der will be signed tomorrow by the
judge. A lack of evidence was the rea-
son assigned for the action.
In making the motion to the court
District Attorney Langdon stated he
was acting in conjunction with District
Attorney Donahue in the case. he SAID
it was their belief there was not enough
evidence to convict Claudianes, who, he
alleged, offering some testimony in sup
port of the statement, was merely d
tool of Peter Claudianes and Felix Pau
devaris. These men, he said, kept John
CIaudianes constantly drugged with
liquor.
John Claudianes has been in jail for
nearly year. and Peter, his brother' is
serving a life sentence in san Quenun
for the dynamiting outrage Paude-
varis has never been apprehended.
Judge Wood said he wanted time not
being familiar with the case, and ad-
iourned the formal decision until to-
morrow, intimating that then ne Woulu
sign the formal order.

DYNAMITE RUINS
HOME OF OFFICIAL
OF RAILWAY
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Husband and Wife Are Hurled from
Bed and Hurry Down Lad
der to Reach the
Street

TUCSON. June 1S-Some one early
this morning wrecked the home of Su-
perintendent w. H. Whalen of the Iuc-
son division of the Southern Paclnc
with dynamite,
Whalen and his wife were sleeping
in the cupola of the house and had
narrow escape from death.
Whalen has been superintendent of the
division for a year. No cause is as
signed for the dynamiting. 1t probably
was the work of a discharged employe
Superintendent Whalen states he has
no idea who the dynamiters were, as
he has no known enemy. He has not
received threatening letters, and was
given no intimation that any such crime
might be perpetrated. He was twice
awakened by the sputtering of the time
fuse attached to the charge, but thought
it was only the wind blowing against
the window screen.
The explosion hurled Whalen and his
wife from their bed. but they escaped
injury. The stairs in the house were
blown away and a ladder was required
for them to reach the street.
Although officers are following sew
eraI meager clues, no arrests have been
made The sheriff has offered a reward
of $780, Whalen came from the Shasta
division about a year ago. Considerable
friction has developed since his incum-
bency, and has resulted in a number of
dismissals in the operating department.

"The second ground upon which l

CONFIRMED
Considerable Comment Caused at East
ST. Louis by Privacy of InVest-

Corroborated

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, June 1S.-Cor-
roboration of many of the charges
against the governments meat inspec-
tion system here was given to the Off
cials who are investigating conditions
by Julius Bischoff. an inspector, who
was on the stand when the inquiry
was continued today.
According to ]. #. Harms, the in
spector whose open letter to Secretary
Wilson caused the inquiry Bischoff
substantiated his co-worker's asser-
tion.
The secrecy with which the inquiry
is being conducted has caused con-
siderable comment about the stock
yards. officials of packing companies
had expressed a hope that the fullest
publicity be brought into play, and to-
day several of them said that they
feared lest the present hearing fail to
allay public distrust of the, inspection
system, no matter what report is made
to Secretary Wilson.
They called attention to the fact that
the day after Harms original charges
were published Dr. A. NJ. Melvin, who
is conducting the inquiry, was quoted
in an interview as being sure that the
allegations were without foundation.
This phase of the matter was also
given by Harms as one of the reasons
why he yesterday refused to take part
in a secret investigation.

manning have 500 men to look after who
are regular inmates of the hospital IN
addition to the attention they must
give the others who stay out of bed as
long as they can.
The hard work of these doctors is
further handicapped by the fact that
they have not sufficient medical sup
plies. Robert Wade of ward 9, who is
in the hospital in an advanced stage of
consumption, has been compelled for
the past two months to purchase codine
out of his own little pension money.
Codine is necessary to relieve his in
cessant cough, but there is no more in
the medical supply store, and to secure
relief he must purchase his own. Sher-
ry and port wines and olive Oil are es-
sental articles in the medical supplies,
but there have been none of these for
more than a month. The supply was
cut off six weeks ago for the same rea-
son that the food is reduced to the
starvation point-there is no more
money.
Complain of Cooking
Complaints are made that the meth
DDS of cooking are wrong. 1t was stat
ed yesterday by a Spanish war veteran
who is an inmate of the hospital with
tuberculosis that even good food is
spoiled in the cooking. He declared

was treated in such a way that 1t was
distasteful to the palate. He said that
the hospital patients each morning re-
ceive a little piece of steak about the
size of a dollar, and if it is not eaten
in the morning it is served as a come
back at night. But in the meanwhile
it is kept in a copper kettle and when
eaten at night has a most distressing
effect on the intestines. The hospital
81, nd xarho
are are so badly mismanaged that
many of the sick men have left the
place and gone to tuberculosis camps,
where they must live on their little $12
month pension.
A pathetic case was told Of yester-
day. An old veteran, named Wagner,
who has been a contractor and build
er at Ocean Park for three years, went
to the home Saturday for attention. He
Is afflicted with a severe case of asth-
ma and unable to sleep or even breathe
in a reclining position From Satur-
day night until Monday noon he sat in
a chair without sleep and then, nearly
beside himself, he went to the hospital.
One of the physicians ordered him TO
go to bed. He protested that he would
suffocate If placed in a bed. The ply
sician answered that he would either
have to go to bed or get out of the
hospital. The veteran left. He was
placed on a street car and headed for
Los Angeles.
The inmates of the home hope the
present agitation will end in as good
results as were accomplished at Battle
Mountain sanitarium a national SOL
diers' home at Hot Springs, S. D., last
January.
The same kind of complaints were
made at that place as have stirred up
the home at Sawtelle, and it resulted in
an upheaval. Every officer in the place
was discharged and a complete new set
of officials placed in charge. Since then,
it is declared, the home has been man
aged in the best way possible.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-EXpert tes-
timony was introduced in today's ses-
sion of the trial of Broughton Branden-
burg, the writer, to prove that the al
legged forged letter of Grover Cleveland
which Brandenburg sold to the New
York Times last August was written
more than a month after Mr.. Cleve-
lands death.
Harry j. Humphrey, typeWrltlnS
expert, declared the article had been
written on the machine produced in
court yesterday. Miss Lillian Bacon, d
stenographer testified yesterday that
she had written the article at Bran
denburg's dictation on the machine in
question on August 10 last.
William C. Reick managing editor Of
the Times, identified the alleged forged
signature. In accepting the article he
had relied on the genuineness of the
signature.
The disputed signature, inclosed in i
glass case, was admitted in evidence.

sistant, recounted in substance on the
witness stand the incidents of the type
writing of the Cleveland article, as
Miss Bacon had previously related
them.

did not contend that the signature was
a genuine signature of Mr.. Cleveland.

George Pengelly, a handwriting ex-
