$4,000 BILLS HIS UNDOING
GRATING PITTSBURG COUN-
GILMAN CONVICTED.
John 2. Klein Couldn't Help showing
BiE Notes 10 Friends and They
Couldn't Help TaIking-That Reused
Suspicion and Graft story Came Out.

PIrrsBUEu, Feb. 20.-Councilman John
+. Klein was found guilty Of bribery to-
day after the jury had been out twenty
eight minutes.
II Klein had not flashed a 5000 bill
and shown TO Frey, harness dealer,
FIVE more Of them in his pocket, and asked
him to change 5000 bill for charge OF
so cents, the great graft scandals in Pitts
burg would Lever have come to light.
This developed in the latter part Of the
testimony in Klein's trial to-day. Frey
testified that he examined the bill closely
because he had never seen bill OF such
denomination before and wondered
where Klein had got 80 much money.
He told F. A. Kimball, chief auditor OF
Pittsburg iwho in turn told Mayor Guthrie
who told A. Leo We'll, attorney for the
Voters League. We'll visited Washington
and had the Comptroller Of the Currency
send Bank Examiner Nesbitt here TO make
an investigation. and he found the note
for si5 500 in the German National Bank
which started the whole trouble.
Klein had also shown Albert l.. Brahm.
a brother n-law of Frey, the 5000 bill
and playfully remarked. That's the
way TO get them.
Klein denied the evidence OF both men
and said he had shown them $500 bill
with which he was going to pay his hands
on his boat. William Baeder, who was
in Frey's store. was called to prove that
il was a $500 bill Klein had shown TO Frey
and Brahm but the others were positive
il was 5000 because they examined It,,
whereas Baeder had not.
The defence tried to draw Brahm into
hA "a
green instead of yellow. Brahm said.
1T was yellow. all right. When held it
in it,
Are you sure you didn't see an extra
cipher on that bill?'
Yes. | am sure.
Frey was then called by the State:
He said: -0ne evening another man and
myself were standing in the doorway at
my place OF business on Ferry street
when saw Klein coming down the oppo-
site side OF the street. He came over TO us
and thrust what 1 thought was bit Of
ordinary yellow paper into my hand. he
said. That's the way TO get it, opened
it up and there to my great surprise was
a SIS 900 bill.
The witness evidently had not yet
recovered from his amazement when he
turned to the jury and then 20 the Court
and remarked: MY, but ! was surprised,
gentlemen.
-He then showed me five other bills
of the same denomination continued
Frey. Il moistened my fingers and care
fully fingured the bills.
The windup Of Klein's trial was replete
with sensation as Attorney Marion for
Klein denounced President Ramsey OF
the German National Bank and Cashier
Yilsack on whose testimony 10 was proved
that Klein had made the dicker for the
bribe 70 make the bank city depository.

costing a score Of millions. The House
refuses to appropriate $500, 900 for ex-
perimentation in aeronautios, when q

ship that could sink both OF the Dread

THE TROUBLE AT WEST POINT.
Mr. s,ayden Of Texas Says II II Due TO
the Presidents Interference.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 President Roose-
velt's interference with the conduct Of
the West Point Military Academy has
seriously affected discipline at that in
stitution, according TO a statement made
in the House to-day by Representative
Slayden Of Texas. The bill carrying ap-
propriations for the maintenance Of the
Academy in the next fiscal year was under
consideration. 1t provoked a discussion
as TO conditions at West Point. Repre-
sentative Tirrell OF Massac achusetts de-
cared that the curriculum at West Point
was too severe, with the result that the
privilege Of gratifying their ambition to
enter the army as officers was denied many
worthy boys.
This suggestion was combated by Rep
resentatives Sulzer, Parker and Slayden.
all members Of the House Committee on
Military Affairs, A strict course OF study
and training at West Point was necessary.
Mr.. Sulzer said. in order that high stand
ard Of efficiency might be maintained in
the army.
The real trouble at the Military Academy,
Mr.. Slayden said, was the Presidents
lie referred to a specific
case in point. The President wrote
letter to the academic board in behalf OF
five cadets who had been dropped for def
cheney in studies. He asked that another
chance be given these cadets The
academic board replied to the President
outlining the reasons that prompted II in
recommending the cadets for dismissal,
adding that 1t would reluctantly comply
with the Presidents wishes II he pressed
the matter further.
The military academy bill az passed
carries appropriations aggregating 2,-
523 ,S2l. provision in the bill authoriz-
ing the acceptance OF Constitution Island
near West Point from Mrs. Margaret
Olivia Sage and Miss Anna Bartlett Warner
was stricken out because acceptance by
the Government was authorized in a
measure previously passed. Mr.. Sulzer
deprecated the failure Of Congress to
express thanks" to Mrs Sage and Miss
Warner for the gift.
