TRUST TRIES TO
BABY UNCLE SAM
Threat of $1,000, to Be
Used to Defeat Taft in
Presidential Election.

Washington. Nov. 22.-It is shown nv
department of justice records affecting
the so-called electrical trust, that the
government in July, 1908. was offered a
million dollar bride to cease further
investigation of the operations of the
corporations alleged to be involved.
The bribery attempt was made in
this form:
l. If the trust-busting investiga-
ton against the electrical interests Of
the country was stopped, 100000
would be contributed to the republican
national campaign fund. and in addi-
ton Taft's candidacy would be given
the earnest and hearty support OF this
vast industrial interest, with its pow
erful ramifications into commercial and
electric railway circles.
2. The suggestion that If the gov
eminent did not comply with the terms
of this generous offer. made in the spir-
it of party loyalty. it might be neces-
sary for the electric interests purely
in self-defense, to support the Bryan
candidacy, thus. through money and
sympathy taking from the republican
presidential ticket the electoral vote Of
a number of states necessary TO insure
Tafts election
OF course. the bride offer was not
made in this exact language, but il
was with almost as direct bluntness
Fairly driven to desperation over the
records already in the possession OF the
government. and fearing the worst, the
trust prohers were entering the tele-
phone and electric street railway do
main. the man who offered the million
on behalf Of the electric interests, as
he said, and whose credentials were
not questioned by the government. had
plainly decided that soft words were no
longer of avail.
Forgetting that what he said would
be perpetuated in the confidential files
Of the department. Of justice, he made
his point so clear that when the mat
ter was taken up to President Roose-
welt late in July. the executive char
acterized the man who rendered the
bribe as a "scoundrel."
In plain black and white is shown
explicitly the offer. and the official re-
lection. and the presidential denuncia-
tion, in a letter written BY ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt to Bonaparte.

Tornado Warnings by Phone.

Lincoln, Neb., May 12.-The farm
ers in the vicinity Of Franklin, Neb,,
have organized Tornado league, its
object being to devise some method
by which general warning can be
given In time for farmers and their
families TO reach places of safety.
"Twisters" have been frequent in
that locality and in the tornado of last
June several were injured and one
man was killed. At that time people
watched the storm coming and fol-
lowed its track for period of at least
30 minutes, and constantly communi-
Gated by phone with friends, warning
them and getting assurance of their
safety. From this experience it Is
thought that there will often be time
to send out at least one general warn

Saloon Keepers Hit Analn.

Where does a saloon keepers re-
sponsibility end?
A suit filed in the district court at
Wayne blames two Wayne saloon
keepers because they sold drinks to
men who later are alleged to have as
saulted one Moritz Esche. For this,
Esche, a man of forty-five years, who
has lived in Wayne for year or so,
has sued NJ A. Stodden and Charles
Endres and their bondsmen.
The trouble appears to have taken
place at wedding 'jolli6cation" last
February, held where Esche roomed.
Esche and Marshal George Minor are
said to have gotten into a scuffe. Eu-
gene Leahy got into the fracas, 1t is
further claimed, when Esche got hold
OF bottle. Leahy paid a $40 fine.
Esche claims that he was assaulted
and asks the court to award him
$4,000 damages against each of the
saloon keepers, on the grounds that,
having sold the liquor consumed at
the celebration, they are to blame for
what bodily injuries were indicted ON
the plaintiff.
