Committee Abruptly Turns From
Investigating Alleged $780,
900 Paid Legislators

NEW YORK, Oct. 2o.-The legislative
investigating committee for the mo-
ment has abandoned all attempts to
find out who raised the money SUBJ
scribed at Delmonico's to defeat the
Hughes race track bill. Instead of
pushing forward on the path taken
yesterday, the committee turned its at
tention to the bridge scandals in the
Aids trials.
Former Senator Benn Conger, who
made the charges that led to the ex-
pulsion of Senator Aids, retold the
story of bribes paid to legislators.
Positive denial was made by four
newspapermen mentioned in Elders
testimony yesterday that the Albany
correspondents of the New York news
papers had been paid money by the
racing lobby. Louis Seibold of the
World, Patrick Relihan of the Press.
George Janurin of the Brooklyn Citi-
zen and Joseph A. McEntee of the Sun
told the committee they had never re-
ceived cent.
Tomorrow the committee will resume
its inquiry into the 100000 fund

Bakersfield for quarter of century.
They were amazed at the size of the
place. Even those whose business
carries them to Bakersfield every few
months were surprised at the great
amount of building under way. Brick
and stone blocks on the way to COM
pletion mark the march of progress
in the lower valley.
The Bakersfield club was host to the
northerners tonight in its handsome
quarters.
That results are being reaped from
the trip in excess of those anticipated
is made clear by the statements of
members of the party. 1t has been
found that the bulk OF the trade of the
lower valley goes to San Francisco.
In some special industries 1t goes else
where.
The way has been cleared for the
return to San Francisco of that which
was DETECTED after the disaster Of
1906. -

Pastime A C. games at Madison Square
Garden last night jury of national
guardsmen in session In the Ninth Reg1-
ment Armory, acting as a court of re-
view, decided that he was guilty of vio-
Iating the Military Athletic League
rules and suspended him indefinitely.
The charges on which Sheppard was
tried were those growing out of his trip
TO Philadelphia early in December He
was accused by the NJ. A. ]. of Phila-
delphia of having charged or having
demanded $50 expense money to that
city and with conduct unbecoming an
athlete and a national guardsman. II
was decided that the $50 was $40 too
much.
It was the second time Sheppard was
up before this jury on the same charges.
A week ago after hearing evidence and
the argument OF several lawyers for
several hours the court adjourned. Last
night the members Of the court met and
after more discussion handed down their
decisions
Among those who made up the jury
were Lieut.. Col. Gracia of the 14th Regi-
ment, Capt. Huen of the fist Regiment
Capt Cooke of the 23d Regiment, Maj
Turpin, 18th Regiment. retired, and Capt
Elems of the Goth Regiment.

with Sheppard for conduct unbecoming
an amateur in that he was alleged tC
have sent in his entry and failed to ap-
pear was exonerated. the evidence
against him being insufficient. Hayes
commended he had at no time sent in al
entry or even contemplated competition.
The action -of the committee failed tt
disturb Sheppard. When told of it after
the races at the garden he laughed ant
said:
Why, it's a joke. 1t can't be so. They
wouldn't suspend me without hearing
I attended the last session and wa:
there for five hours, but / was allowed
no opportunity to testify. When the
meeting adjourned / was told that II
be given a hearing at the next meeting.
If that committee suspended me the
members are worse than those in Phila
delphia. There they at least limited wha
they were going to do. Why, I ever
didn't know there was meeting. II In
