Explanation
Is Demanded

SEATTLE. Mar. PA dispatch to
the Time from Olympia says that Gov
ernor Marion E. Hay has summoned
State Oil Inspector F. A. Clark to ap
pear before him tomorrow and answer
charges that have been filed with the
governor accusing Clark of forging a
long series of expense vouchers. An
inspe ctor of the state board of ac-
countancy, the Times dispatch says,
has discovered fraudulent vouchers
ranging in amount from a few dollars
to several hundred dollars each. Clark
was recently investigated by the leg
islative investigating committee and
eXonerated of charges filed against
him. The committee did not take up
the allegations of fraud in Clark's ex

Buckley Had
Great POWe7

NEW YORK, Mar. 24.-Bit by bit,
there was unfolded' at the fire insur-
ance inquiry today the story of the
career of William H. Buckley, the AL
bany lawyer, who for years was leg
islative agent for the fire insurance
companies.
On the face Of documentary evidence
produced, Buckley was we'll nigh in
vincible at Albany. If letters, enter
ed on the records, contained state
ments of fact-and for most part they
were letters exchanged between Buck
lev and the late George P. Sheldon,
who was president of the Phoenix Fire
Insurance company of Brooklyn
Buckley's power with the legislature
was we'll worth the money he admits
he received.
Buckley's influence at Albany went
even further, according to his own
words He was able to learn in ad-
vance a decision of the court of APP
peals, he said, and would keep Shell
don informed as to what was coming
off in court.
Miles M. Dawson, a consulting at
torney of New York, said under oath.
Buckley had informed him he could
not get favorable action on a bill in
which he was interested unless he paid
some money to 1.-The boys"
When evidence was produced show
ing E. E. Mccall, now state supreme
court justice, had written Buckley s
name above his own on a check for
$4,000, which was one Of the three
loans made by the Phoenix Fire In
surance company of Brooklyn through
Sheldon, Mccall knew nothing at all
of the transaction and had merely
acted in the matter at his request. He
mad admitted he had not endorsed the
check and identified the handwriting
in which his name was written as that
of Justice Mccall. Mr.. Hotchkiss
said he would be glad to have the mat
ter cleared up by the justice, but did
not say he would ask him to appear
as a witness.
When said this afternoon, Justice
Mccall said he did not care to discuss
the insurance inquiry except to say
ne never had any relations or transac-
tions whatever with Mr.. Sheldon, with
his company or with any fire insurance
company except the Munich. He sald
he was for some three years the re-
tanned counsel for the Munich com
pany.

FdinfS When
Asked Guilt

PITTSBURG. Mar. 4-Confessions
OF six men who appeared before Judge
Fraser today caused sensations. The
climax came when George B. Anderson
"a former select councilman, tainted
as the court asked him if he had ever
received money for his vote
Before the judge could finish his
question Anderson had fallen back
ward, striking his head on the floor
Attendants and attorneys rushed to
his aid and when he had revived he
answered the judges question.
Robert K. Cochrane formerly a
member of councils, admitted receiv-
ing 5000 to vote for the bank depos-
tory ordinance and $500 for the or
dinance vacating South Seventh
street. Judge Fraser wanted to know
how it came he received so much more
money than other councilmen for vo-
ting for these measures.
COchrane was unable to make a
satisfactory explanation. He insisted
he had contributed none of the money
Judge Fraser reminded Cochrane this
was a serious matter and he would
have to take the case under consider
alton. No suspension of sentence was
granted and Coo hrane left the court
room.
William Brand, former president of
u Z COlilIilOl touHC1i, WiloSe SldbSDltliL
to the district attorney was so unsat-
isfactory had his liberty cut short.
He was sent to the penitentiary to
begin serving the eighteen months SEN
tence for bribery. on which he was
convicted some months ago. District
Attorney Blakeley insists Brand did
not tell the truth, and was shielding
someone.
The district attorney had the names
of the persons Brand IS charged WITH
shielding but Brand would not give ur
the desired information. The confess
siOns of WATSON and Klein cover this
point, however, to the prosecutor.
Former Councilman John Taylor,
who was implicated in the graft scan
dial by Dr. w. B. Weber, brought suit
against Weber today for $4,000 dam
ages. Taylor has made public denial
and says Weber's statement is untrue.
Indicted councilmen today began to
come forward and give bonds in court
for their appearance, signifying that
they would put up a fight for freedom.
