TAKING GIFTS
CHARGE is BROUGHT AGAINST
MEMBERS OF THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE BY
REPRESENTATIVE RANDELL.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, June 14.-Members of
the judiciary committee of the house
were accused today OF having received
employment and gifts of great pecun-
iary value" from railroads to the ex-
tent that they were rendered incap-
able of a fair judgment in regard to
railway legislation before them. Rep
resentative Randell, of Texas, who
made the charge, asked that a bill
covering gifts of passes to congress-
men be returned before the house.
Representative Randell's charge al
leges that Representative Parker of
New Jersey, chairman, and other
members of the committee were re-
ceiving in addition to employment
and gifts also franks and compen-
sation of great and pecuniary values"
At the conclusion of his speech, he
brought before the house a privileged
resolution to remove the measure re-
ferred to from the committee on jul
dietary and to have it reported back to
the house, but it was tabled.

Matthews is now safe In Jail in an
other county, having been captured
late yesterday afternoon by the sheriff
of that county, to whom he confessed
to his attempted crime.
Sheriff Van Pelt was somewhat
startled early last night when he re-
ceived a call over the long distance
telephone and was told by the sherifI
of certain county that he held Bob
Matthews in jail, and asked what dis
position to make Of the man. The
sheriff Of Escambia could not believe
what he heard, for he had visited the
Beulah neighborhood Saturday and
there learned from what was reliable
sources that Matthews had been shot
to pieces by the posse. He SO inform.
ed the sheriff making the arrest, but
the latter said there could be no mis-
take, as Matthews had confessed, even
telling how he made his escape from
the swamps, and how the posse had
killed another man.
Then Sheriff Van Pelt began think
ing, and he decided pretty quickly
that he did not desire the presence OF
Matthews in Escambia county now, sc
he told the sheriff to hold the prison
er until further notice.
This will be done and Matthews will
not be brought to Pensacola.
