TURN TILLNIAN DOWN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-It is not
expected here that Senator TiIlman's
request that the senate investigate
the charges made against him by
President Roosevelt with relation to
grabbing lands in the state Of Oregon
will be needed. The members Of the
committee on privileged elections are
under the impression that Tillman's
dealings with relation to the transac-
ton are square, and contend that
even though the presidents charges
were true that there would be nothing
to investigate as the senator has vio-
lated no law.

MUNSON FUND GROWS.
Has Now Nearly Reached the 5000
Mark

The MunsOn fund which is in the
hands Of the Prudential Trust COM
pauy continues to grow steadily and
the indications are that within a few
days it will be large enough to lift
the mortgage from the home of the
Munson family in Oakland. At present
the fund amounts 10 about $500 and
considerable money has been COL
Iected which has not yet reached the
Prudential bank
Manager Crawford of the Majestic
theater has turned the little play
house over to the company which is
playing there this week and Sunday a
benefit performance will be given and
every cent taken at the ticket window
will go into the MunsGn fund.
In addition to this performance the
members of the Ladies' Music club
will give a benefit performance at the
Auditorium Monday evening and this
should net several hundred dollars
more. The employees of numerous
business institutions about the city
have pooled their donations and they
amount to considerable sum of
money in many instances.
