BIG SCANDAL LATENT
IN SENATOR'S ARREST
FOelker Says He Could Have Got
$4,000 For Race Track Vote.
CONGRESSMAN BEFORE JURY
District Attorney Whitman Tells
Court ex-senator Gardner Was
Connected With Distribution of
100000 in Brides.

New York.-Former State Senator
Frank ]. Gardner was indicted by the
grand jury for an attempt to bride
Senator Otto G. Foelker of Brooklyn
In April, 1908, to vote against the
gambling bill which closed the
race tracks. The indictment was
found ON the testimony of Senator
Foelker, corroborated by Assistant
District Attorney Robert H. Elder of
Brooklyn that Gardner, on train
coming from Albany to New York, of
fered him $4,000 and additional
favors'' from the race track represent
tatives, to oppose the bill.
Gardner told Foelker, according to
the latter, that he would pay him
$4,000 more than he had other Sena-
tors.
AS soon as the indictment was filed,
Assistant District Attorney Moss, who
conducted the inquiry, issued bench
warrant, and Lieut. Albert Thomas
took it and boarded the first train for
Scranton, where Gardner had been in
hiding, and where he was arrested.
District Attorney Whitman de-
clared in open court at Scranton that
the prisoner had handled a 100000
corruption fund, raised to defeat the
anti-betting legislation
Judge Bruce said to the World that
with Gardeners return the investigat-
ing committee hopes to get at the root
of the whole situation as it shaped up
at Albany during 1908 when stories
Of bribery in connection with the anti
betting measures were so common
they were the subject of jest.
The arrest and Indictment of Card
ner is supposed to be only the begin
ming of a big exposure in which nu-
merous names will figure. Evidence
has been placed in the hands of the
authorities which indicates that the
name of high city official In New
York will soon be mentioned in con-
nection with Gardeners, or some of
the people that were supposed to be
close to him.
All the stir has been started by the
legislative graft investigating COM
mittee, and it is not to stop with trail
ing the distribution of corruption
funds for the race track gambling
bills. 1t is said that the 80-cent gas
lobby will have to be exposed if the
trail which has been opened by the
indictment is followed to it's end. For
the same set of men whose names
have already begun to figure in the
race track bills are generally reputed
to have played an important role in
opposing the S0-cent gas law
Should Gardner take the stand be-
fore the legislative committee and
tell what he knows about the bribery
or attempted bribery of legislators
during the race track fight, under
promise of immunity, the committees
way to the secrets of the corruption
fund may be made easy. But the COM
mittee has still another course of ac-
ton. The books of one of the large
yacing associations can be demanded.

EIchu to Be Popular.

From the looks of things at the
neckwear counters now we shall ali
be wearing fichus with our house
frocks this winter. 1t is easy I'd
make a picture of ones self with d
charming white fichu draped over the
bust and shoulders. and the simplest
waist may be dressed up amazingly
in this pretty fashion The fichu is
fastened at the breast with rose or
with a bow of black velvet ribbon:
and the ends fall to the waist or be-
low. Fine white net with plaitings
of Val lace make the prettiest fichus,
and there are others of soft white
null with plated frills at the edge
which are lovely over little house
gowns or gray or lavender silk null.

THINK THEY HAVE GERM
OF lNFANTlLE PARAL YSlS
Eminent Philadelphia Physicians Say
1t is PROTOCOL, or Low Form
Of Animal Life.

Philadelphia The discovery of a
germ which probably causes infantile
paralysis was announced at special
meeting of the college of physicians
held here to discuss that disease.
DR.. Allen j. Smith, dean of the
medical department of the University
of Pennsylvania and director of the
school of tropical diseases recently
founded in that institution, declared
that in the blood of sufferers from the
disease had been found a protozoan,
or low form of animal life, which
he thinks may prove to be the germ
which causes the disease. It resem-
bles the germ which causes sleeping
sickness, and, in his opinion, is car
ried from one victim to another by
insects.
DR.. Charles K. Mills and other well
known physicians corroborated Or.
Smith in his opinion.

top Of the corsage is cut In a severe
round or small square and filed with
a grimpe Of unIined white mousseline
de sole, while short chemise sleeves
fall over long, plain undersleeyes that
match the guimpe. The fine old house
that launched this fascinating costume
showed tailored costumes built on the
same Moyen age model. To the edge
of the straight, long body part the
short skirt was attached, laid at each
side in few fiat pleats, closely held
to preserve their form. The coat was
a tiny affair, reaching to the edge Of
the skirt yoke and close fitted, but
toning straight from bust to hem. The
open side seams were held close to-
gether by double lines of small gun
metal bullet buttons; the seam at the
back Of the coat sleeves was finished

cord loops trimmed the fiat collar and
revers.
There is no end to the variety OF

lines and clusters they followed the
curve of the collar and revers; they
