FIVE ARRESTED
IN GRAFT CASES
PHILADELPHIA OFFICIALS AND
BANKERS TAKEN ON BRl-
Berry CHARGES.

Pittsburg, Jan. 15.-President' E. H
Jennings and Vice President r A.
Griffin of the Columbia National
bank; Max G. leslie, county delin-
duent tax collector and former repub.
lican city chairman; Charles Stewart,
former councilman and F. f. Nicola,
capitalist and real estate operator,
We're arrested yesterday on warrants
issued by District Attorney w. A.
Klakeley charging them with con-
spring TO cause the selection of the
Columbia National bank as city de-
pository. In addition Leslie is
charged with perjury and still another
information charges him with misde-
meanors and alleges that for two years
he made business OF soliciting the
ala of councilmen TO influence legisfa-
ton. All gave bail The charges are
the result of the graft scandals of
1908 when it was brought out that
councilmen had been paid money TO
vote for six repositories. officers OF
other banks who were found guilty
had taken an appeal to the superior
court, and the present cases had been
halted pending a decision on the
other cases. AS no decision seemed
likely until March when the statute OF
limitations would have exempted those
arrested yesterday, the district attor-
new took summary action.

FEAR FORENSICS
IN P|NCHOT PROBE
WHETHER PARTIES MAY HAVE
ATTORNEYS NOT YET
DETERMINED.

Washington, jan 15-The question
of whether witnesses in the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation shall be per
mitted to be represented by counsel,
and if so, what limitation shall be
placed upon their activities, is proving
serious problem to the conferees OF
the senate and house who met yester-
day. 1t is practically decided that
when witness found himself accused
of wrong doing he could not be denied
an attorney. 1t follows, therefore, that
former Forester Pinchot, who was dis
missed from the government service
by order of the president, would be
entitled to have his lawyer present
throughout the congressional investi-
cation, and Secretary of the interior
Ballinger, likewise, would be per-
mitted to have his attorney present
at all times. Whether former Assist
ant Forester Price, former Law Officer
Shaw and former Field Agent CLAWS,
will be allowed counsel has not been
decided. Some members of the con-
ference are of the opinion that one
lawyer might be named to look after
the interests of all the dismissed gov
eminent employer where names are
drawn into the inquiry, but no agree
ment was reached on this point.
An effort is being made by the COM
mittee to prevent a forensic gathering
in the tribunal that would likely pro-
long the case.

issued another statement saying that
an understanding had been reached .
The statement which was given out
by Representative Hayes follows.
1T is true that an understanding
has been reached that we shall attend
the caucus about to be held for the
choice of the republican members of
the Investigating committee. The
question of future conferences, how
ever. is one on which there has been
no agreement In fact, | had no au-
thority from my associates to enter
into that question. OF course, this
agreement in way affects the issue
as to the present system of control OF
the house of representatives.
Mr. Hayes was asked if the word
we used in his statement meant all
the insurgents in the house. he re-
piled that it did and that all of the
insurgents concurred in the statement.
The democrats of the house an
nounced that they would hold eau
Gus Saturday night to name the min
ority members of the committee to in

lucky, Representative Siayden Of
Texas and Representative Palmer of
Pennsylvania were mentioned as pos
sible nominees. The democrats insist
on their right to name the minority
members of the committee and if the
majority declines to allow it, there IS
a prospect of a democratic-republic
insurgent alliance upon the question.
The insurgents say they are contend
ing merely for fair committee and
care not who are its members.
Former Chief Forester Pinchot and
Secretary Ballinger may be repre-
scented by counsel throughout the in
vestigation by congress covering the
conduct of their offices, it was prac-
tically agreed by senate and house
conferees yesterday. Similar repre-
sentation of other dismissed govern
ment employees involved was not de-
cided.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE dove of
peace succeeded in getting reasonably
near a perch yesterday on the field
occupied by the warning republican
factions of the house after the much
sought bird had been repeatedly
frightened away from the scene by
the clamor of the contending partic-
ipants. When Representative Hayes
of California. the mediator for the
insurgents, returned to the house
after one of his frequent calls upon
President Taft the news circulated
rapidly that a truce had been ar
ranged and a more or less permanent
peace in the republican RANKS was
about to be announced.
This was considered confirmed
when statement issued from the
white house and another from Rep
resentative Dwight, the republican
whip. announcing the details of the
armistice. The peace pronunciamento
proved premature, however, for Rep
resentative Hayes, between numerous
conferences with his associates, an
nounced that no agreement had been
reached and that the matter would
go over until today.

EIGHT HOUR LAW
ROUGH ON ROADS
TRAINS ARE LAID OUT IN YARDS
AT MANY LOCAL
POINTS.
SOMETIMES ARE STOPPED WITH
IN SIGHT OF DESTINATION
NOT ENOUGH CREWS.

.goneka. ian l5.-One of the effects
Of the law which requires that when
q train crew has been on duty 10
hours it shall be relieved for hours
il to more completely tie up freight
trains on the roads operating in Kan
sas Night after night freight trains
are tied up in the yards of some small
Town for s hours, the l6 hours Whlch
rafnmen may work having expired
and it being necessary to allow them
to take their rest before proceeding
further.
The effect of this practice upon
freight traffic may be imagined. Farm
ers going to market with stock are
victims OF this ruling, who feel II
more keenly perhaps, than do others.
Thursday a train load of stock MADE
I'M of carload shipments OF cattle De
longing to small farmers between 10
neka and Harrington was stopped at
small station near Kansas City. ana
held there three hours While tralh
crew was found at Kansas City ana
sent to relieve the men who mad mn
ished their 16 hours, almost Wltlhh
sight of their destination, but VINO
were required to stop the train ana
rest eight hours.
The feelings of a farmer whose
stock is shivering in the cars Wltnlh
a few miles of the market and whose
train has been delayed through no
fault OF his own may be better I'M
aeined than told Yet such cases are
without number.
All roads are affected in the same
way by the ruling, and since the cola
weather began early in December,
the railroads wards in small towns on
every road have been filled WIN
trains LAYING over the hours re-
ouired by law, while the train crew.
instead of resting, puts in the time III
the waiting room telling how much
the train dispatcher ought to know
about his business and how little ne
really does know.
There are a number of cases III
which stockmen have failed to reach
Kansas City in time for the markets
Of the day they expected to sell their
stock and have been compehed to
Law over until the next day to dis
pose OF their stuff. This, of course, is
encouraging and cheers the stock
men.
While the trainmen may or may
not like the ruling the shippers do
not. The rule may be all right but
they cannot understand while, if the
trainmen must lay over eight hours,
an arrangement cannot be made
whereby another crew can be FUR
nished in time to avoid such delays.
And with the cold weather and the
law requiring the eight hour lay over
working well the movements OF
freight train are not at al hard to
keep pace with

Is they may not know about them.

COUNTY. ATTORNEY
BILL REPORTED
Very Probable that Governors Recon-
mendation Will be Enacted Into
Law at This Session.


Special to The NeDs.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 19.-The senate
judiciary committee has made ia
vorable report on the Mcdowell bill
creating the Office of county attorney,
and prescribing duties and qualifica-
tions of the office.
This was one of the first measures
introduced in the senate, and the tenor
of the bill closely follows recommen-
dation on the subject contained in
Governor Noel's biennial message
The Judiciary committee gave the
measure very lengthy consideration,
and the favorable recommendation is
made by an almost unanimous vote.
An effort will be made to secure early
consideration, and it is generally be-
lieved that the bill will secure favora-
BILE consideration in both houses.
Senator Mcdowell will ask that the
measure be set as special order for
one day during the coming week.
The bill provides that the county
attorney shall appear and represent
the state in all Investigations of felo-
MES before local magistrates, and
prosecute misdemeanor cases in which
the magistrates deem the services of
a prosecutor necessary; that he shall
assist the district attorney in all crimi-
nal cases in the circuit court, and in
all civil cases wherein the services of
the district attorney may be required;
chat he shall be empowered to appear
before the grand jury during the in
yestigation of criminal matters, and
act in an advisory capacity with that
body.
The compensation of the county at
torncy shall be ON a fee basis of $40
Cor each plea of guilty or conviction
OF felony in the circuit court, and a
similar sum for conviction in magis-
trate courts. The governor is empow-
cred to appoint an attorney for each
county until the next state election is
held, when incumbents shall be chosen
Cor four-year term.
The judiciary committee did not see
fit to make any amendments, but it is
understood that an effort will be made
when the measure is called up for
passage to place the appointive power
in the hands of various boards of SUI
pervsors. This will be strongly op-
posed on the ground that the super
visors are more likely to be dominat-
ed by local influences.
