in the poolroom. which is kept open winter
land summer. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by Goals falling out of the
stove. George Hinkle and family. the
only persons living in the hotel during the
winter had rooms in one Of the wings,
and they managed to save some of their
belongings. Winter residents of the moun-
tain assembled and kept the flames from
spreading to the Western Maryland depot
and other buildings.

Wisconsin Legislator Arraigns
Senator Stephenson.
MARTIN OPPOSES INQUIRY
Declares That if One Candidate Did
Wrong All Did.
SAYS HE KNEW OF NO BRIBERY
Assembly Refuses to Recall Inves-
tigation Resolution From
Committee.

+ MADISON. Wis, January Ex-senator
Blaine filed specific charges In the senate
this forenoon alleging that United States
Senator Isaac Stephenson. as a candidate
for reelection. gave to Republican State
Chairman E. A. Edmunds of Appleton a
sum of money in excess of $1O6. and
approximating $25O.OOO. in relation to the
primary election held September 1 last.
and by such acts violated Wisconsin
statute; that the money was given to Ed
munds to pay to other electors prior to
the primary in sums ranging from IS a
day to $1,000 in bulk. as a consideration
for some act to be done in relation to the
primary by electors for Mr.. Stephenson.
Other charges allege that money was
paid to U. c. Keller of Sauk county: one
Hambright of Racine; Roy Morse of Fond
sums as a consideration for acts to be
done corruptly and unlawfully.
|, Sixteen Charges.
The charges against Senator Stephen
son number sixteen in all, the closing
charge stating that ''the primary nomina-
ton or election was obtained by the use
of large sums of money corruptly and ille-
gally' and by violation of the statutes re-
lating to illegal voting, bribery and cor
ruption.
Speaking on the resolution to investi-
gate, Senator Husting said 1t was mat
ter of common knowledge that nothing
but money entered into the election last
summer and that money won.
Martin Opposes Inquiry.
Senator Martin opposed the investiga-
tion unless specific charges. properly filed.
had been presented. The charges should
be based upon something besides wind
and newspaper clippings, he said. The
choice had been made by the people, and
If one candidate had done wrong they all
had. He knew of no bribery. An inves-
tigation would be a reflection upon the
people themselves. Stephenson had been
overwhelmingly chosen and the people
expected him to stand for the things for
which Wisconsin had been struggling.
A motion in the assembly to recall the
investigation resolution from committee
was lost-30 to So.
Today's Balloting.
Fifteen members of the assembly re-
fused today to vote for the United States
senatorship. Fourteen of these were re-
publicans.
On the first ballot the vote stood: Ste
phenson, republican, 90; Neal Brown,
democrat, 16; Jacob Summed, social-dem-
ocrat, ): s. a. Cook. republican, >; Coop
er, republican. 1; Esc, republican. J.;
Stout, /; blank, Is. Total, 80.
The senate did not vote, but took re-
cess until 3 o'clock.

SPECIMEN MEDALS MISSING.
War Department Reports Theft to
Detective Bureau.

A small glass case containing seven
specimen bronze service medals belonging
to the United States quartermaster's de-
partment was broken open Saturday or
Sunday night and five of the medals re-
moved. The case hung on the wall OF
the corridor of the third floor of the War
Department. near the larger cases con-
tanning models of soldiers. It was taken
off its hook and carried to a toilet room
nearby, where the back was removed and
the medals taken out. The fact that two
medals were untouched Is taken to indi-
cate that the thief was unable to finish
his work The medals were worth about
S. and are of no special value to any one
but a soldier entitled to them.
The matter was reported to detective
headquarters and an officer assigned to
the case.

LOT FRAUDS IN MUSk0GEE
GRAND JURY CONVENES TC
PROVE SERIOUS CHARGES.
Implication Of Gov. Haskell Charged
to W. r. Hearst-Echo Of
Last Campaign.

MUSKOGEE, Okla, January 26-With
the convening Of the grand jury here to-
day. to investigate the alleged town lot
frauds. Muskogee became the cynosure OF
the eyes of half the nation. That the
government regards the investigation of
great import was evidenced by the fact
that the jury was watched and guarded
by secret service men-rumor has 1t that
there Is man for every juror.
Additional interest was added to the
case by reason of the implication Of the
governor, Charles N. Haskell. in the in
vestigation. He in turn declares the en-
tire matter is due to the enmity of Will
liam r. Hearst. This ramification Of the
case Is an echo of the presidential cam
paign Of last year.
In the years 1900 and 1901 a large num-
ber of lots were disposed Of to purchas-
ers. who registered their names with the
government in much the same manner as
when land is "homesteaded." Federal au-
thorities now claim that unscrupulous
dummies" and thus obtained titles to a
number of lots when they were entitled
to but one.
Dummy" in Lot Transfers.
In some cases, it is claimed, this was
done without the knowledge of the dun
my and in the others the dummy" was
a mere hgurehead and surrendered his
title gratuitously or for q small compen-
sation.
About go persons whose names are
said to have been used in this manner
are now here, having been subpoenaed
by the government from Texas. Ohio
West Virginia. Tennessee, Michigan. Penn
|sylvan.a, Missouri. Virginia and Arkansas
They are expected to testify as to what
part they had in the registering Of their
names in applying for land.
1t Is confidently expected by many that
several men high up In local affairs will
be hit by the investigation. The In
dianola Contracting Company, of which
Gov. Haskell Is president, owns many
town lots. These lots embrace from one
fourth of an acre to four acres.

Myron Herrick, the Cleveland. Ohio.

While Mr.. Herrick refrained from
comment on his probable connection with
the Taft cabinet, 1t is positively known
that the matter of his going into the
next administration as one of the official
advisers has not been settled upon. If
Mr.. Herrick has been offered the position
of head of the Treasury he still has the
offer under consideration. If he has
not received an offer 1t is considered high
ly probable that he will get one.
