GRAFT In OHIO

ING DIVIDED $4,000.
Chairman Beatty of Graft Probe
Committee of Legislature Hears
Confession.
J. T.. BRELsFORD CoNFEssEs

Columbus, o.. Feb. I5.-Chairman
Beatty. of the legislative graft probe
committee, appointed through the IN
sistence of Governor Harmon, an
nOunced that ]. f. Brelsford. of Day
ton. former partner Of Mark Slater,
had confessed to him OF wholesale
grating in the department of print
ing at the time that MIR. Slater was
IA charge. According to the confess
sions of Brelsford. from whom Slater
bought goods, he and Slater divided
s13,700 drawn from the state treas
ury ON vouchers for the payment for
stock never delivered TO the state
printing department.
Brelsford went on the stand IN the
state probe investigation session and
related the details OF the transaction
TO the committee.
Mr.. Brelsford was shown a war
rant, number 1856. ON which he was
paid s5.5O175 for goods alleged to
have been sold to the state bindery
on December I. 1905. The enti.e
list OF goods itemized In the bill was
read to him and he testified frankly
at the conclusion that not n single
item represented goods actually de-
livered by him to the state; that Il
was entirely a piece OF graft.
Before testifStng the committee ex-
plained to him again that the testi-
mony he might give here could not
be used against him in criminal
prosecution.
On a fourth bill, dated March %
1906, for "24 dozen of Morocco as
sorted" for which sS04 was drawn
he testified that but two dozen were
delivered. the cost of which was SCI
so that the bill was padded to the ex
tent of $727.

THE CLAWS CHARGES.

Under the pressure of direct ques-
tons, Mr.. CLAWS said he thinks Secre-
tary of the Interior BalNnger is not
corrupt, that Mr. Balhnger has done
nothing criminal, that the Cunning
ham claims were the first in order to
be considered. and his only charge Is
that Mr.. Balhnger is not a proper
person to administer the affairs of
the interior department, because as
attorney for some Alaskan coal
claimants before his appointment he
pressed for favorable decision in be
half OF his clients. There are lots OF
other people. too, who think just this
way. and after the whole affair is
cleared up and II Is shown that Mt.
Ballinger as secre etary of the interior
has done nothing to merit the at
tacks on him, he probably will retire
from the cabinet. But, in view OF
G,avis' own admissions that there was
nothing in his charges that reflected
in any way on the integrity Of Mr..
Ballinger. could President Taft have
been expected to peremptorily dis
miss the man and put the seal of his
endorsement on false accusations
against one, who, by his own invita-
tion, was elevated TO the position
and so made the target OF accusa-
tions?

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

Two Frankfort dispatches and an
editorial in Mondays Louisville Times
should prove interesting reading TO
those logical souls. who delight TO
correlate contemporary news. as well
as history. They all concern the
Louisville ripper bill. which is de-
signed to remove a Republican city
attorney, whose term does not expire
for some time. and make II possible
to replace him with an administra-
ton favorite, by abolishing the Office
and re-creating il under another
name.
The. editorial comes at the legisla-
ture in this wise:
The corporation counsel bill was
passed by the house on Friday by a
vote of 61 to 16. 1t will pass the
senate by an equally safe margin
whenever that body is given the op-
portunity to express its will concern
ing it. The senate Is as strongly
Democratic as Is the house; the cor
poration counsel bill is a measure
designed for the purpose of enabling
a Democratic administration in Louis
Vile to guard against the commission
of error in the performance of the
duties imposed on il. Upon the char
acter of the Democratic administra-
tion in Louisville depends the city's
vote in the state election next year.
Without a Democratic majority in
Louisville. the party cannot hope to
carry the state
The first Frankfort dispatch deals
with the Introduction of the ripper
bill In the senate after il had passed
the house. and says:
President Cox created consider
able OF a stir in the senate today whcu
the Louisville ripper bill was Off
elally reported as having passed the
house. He called attention to the
rumor Of sharp practice attending the
passage of the measure in the house
and denounced the fact, as he
claimed. that the bill had already
been printed for distribution in the
senate even before it had been read
In the body. He declared that every
measure would get a square deal
at his hands, but he would not stand
for any undue advantage being given
to amy bin He ordered the bill to
take its regular course"
The second Frankfort dispatch deals
with the privilege of the floor accord
ed Chief Clerk Stone in order that he
might defend himself against any
charge of completely in the crooked
methods by which the corporation
counsel bill, which Is 10 ENABLE the
administration in Louisville to guard
against error, was advanced on the
calendar.
II says:
When the house was called to
order, Speaker Wilson said that Chief
Clerk Stone wished to make a state
ment relative to the charges which
had been made relative to the pasa-
age of the so-called ripper bin on
last Friday. Mr.. Stone said that IL
there had been change In the order
OF bills on the orders OF the day IL
was without his knowledge. How
ever, in future. In order to avoid any
chance for errors. he said he would
prepare a typewriter statement daily,
showing the order of the bills. and
also would supervise the preparation
OF the orders for the legislative
digest
Possibly the Times meant the bill
is for the purpose of enabling the ad-
min!stnation in Louisville to guard
against the discovery of error in the
performance OF its duty.

THIS is MY PATH BIRTHDAY
Alfonso XIII. of Spain.

King Alfonso XIII. of Spain, who
has announced his intention to attend
the funeral of the late King Edward
VII, of whom he was a warm admir-
er and friend, was born in Madrid,
May II, 1886, nearly six months af-
ter the death of his father, Alfonso
XII. He attained his majority when
he was Is years old, according to the
Spanish law, and at the same time
was crowned king. Prior to that
time his mother, Maria Christina,
who was an Austrian princess, reign
ed as regent. Four years ago Alton
so was married to the English prin-
cess. Victoria Ena of Battenberg. The
royal couple have two sons, Alfonso,
Prince of the Asturias, heir to the
Spanish throne, born May 10, 1907,
and Prince Jaime, born July %,
1908, and one daughter, Princess Be-
atrice, born July 81, 1909. Since he
took up the reigns of government AL
fonso has proved himself ruler of
wise and liberal tendencies and has
devoted much attention to the pro-
motion of education in his realm and
to the movement which has for its
object the rehabilitation of Spain as
a commercial nation.
