WAS OFFERED BIG BRIDE
Senator Travis, Of Brooklyn,
Springs Surprise.

New York (Special) One hun
dred thousand dollars to vote against
the anti-racetrack betting bills in
1908 was offered to State Senator
Eugene M. Davis, Of Brooklyn, as he
swore on the stand, testifying before
the legislative graft committee. A
mysterious little man, whose name he
does not recall, made the offer in
the lobby of the Senate, he said, in
behalf of former Senator Frank j.
Gardner And Gardner, he added,
confirmed it in a subsequent tele-
phone conversation.
Gardner is now under indictment,
charged with having attempted sim
ilarly, though with a lesser amount.
to influence Otto G. Foelker, of
Brooklyn, now congressman, but
then a state senator. Foelker voted
for the bill, as did Travis and it was
passed Notwithstanding the frantic
efforts of the race track interests and
the alleged use of a fund which pre-
vious testimony has placed at $780,
600.
Travis testimony and the COM
mittee's efforts to subpoena James B.
Keene and Harry Payne Whitney, two
millionaires, whose hobby Is horse
racing, were the most interesting de-
velopments of the hearing. resum-
ed after an adjournment on October
~. Efforts to find Messrs. Keene
and Whitney have so far been with
out success and M. Linn Bruce, chair
man of the committee, is growing
impatient. Both men have been
mentioned In previous testimony as
having been present at q conference
at Delmonico's at which the alleged
corruption fund was raised and the
committee is anxious to examine
them.
Travis story added two new names
to the list of senators approached"
The amount offered him, he explain
ed, was to be paid in two instalments,
$4,000 down and $4,000 after his
vote had been cast.
Did you ever hear of any other
senator being approached?" he was
asked.
Eyes, took lunch with Senator
Fuller and Senator Carpenter one
day and they told me they had been
approached. Senator Gates also
told me he had been called on the
telephone
would you know the man who
approached you If You saw him
AGAIN."
Yes, think so.''

KILLED BY NAVY GUN.
Disastrous Premature Explosion At
Indian Head.

Washington. D. G. Especially *
Four men were killed by the prema-
ture explosion of a -five-inch, fifty
one-caliber gun at the Indian Head
proving grounds of the navy. The
breech block of the gun, which was
being tested, blew backward into the
crew which was firing the gun.
Lieutenant Arthur G.. Caffee, who
was in charge of the gun. was one of
the men killed.
The gun, which was new one
from the navy yard gun factory. and
being tested for the first time, had
already been fred twice. The acci-
dent occurred during the third round.
just as the breech was being closed.
The accident is not without pre-
cedent. 1t was similar to the ex-
plosion that caused the death Of 10
soldiers in the pit of one OF the dis
appearing guns at Fort Monroe, Va,
last summer.

jured In Accident.
Altoona, Pa. Especially A thrill
ing and disastrous wreck on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, resulting in
the death of locomotive engineer
and two firemen and the injury of
three other trainmen, occurred near
the western limits Of this city.
A fast freight train westbound
was just starting up the mountain,
helped in the rear by two locomo-
tives, when the boiler of the second
rear engine exploded. The boiler
rose from the engine frame and was
hurled through the air just as an
express train, composed entirely of
express cars, also westbound, came
along on the next track. The ex-
press train was being drawn by two
locomotives.
The first engine struck the fall
ing boiler and hurled it over an en-
bankment 900 feet from where it had
left the engine trucks. The impact
derailed both locomotives hauling the
express train and threw them against
the freight train, knocking over sew
eral freight cars.

HOUSE
A SLAUGHTER PEN
Mexican Revolutionists Fought
to the Very End.
NEATLY TWO HUNDRED WERE KILLED

The Battle At Fu0DtA Began when
the Police Went To Break Up q
Meeting Of Revolutionists At the
House OF Aquiles Cerdan- The
Troops Are Now In Control, But
Many Persons Are Still Talking
In q Revolutionary Vein Today
Is the Set Time.
Mexico City Especial Estimates
of the number who were killed in
the fight between the soldiers and po-
lice on one side and revOlutionists on
the other at Puebla, continue to be
placed at from 100 to ITO. Dis
patches from that city stated that it
was certain over 100 had been killed
in the conflict.
AQuiles Cerdana, whose house was
the scene OF the fight, was killed by
soldiers while resisting arrest in a
tunnel where he had taken refuge.
Cerdana fought to the last, firing at
the officers as they entered his hiding
place.
According to late advices from
Puebla there was little fear of fur
ther trouble as the troops were in
control of the situation. 1t was said
that large number Of factory en-
ployes were still talking In revolu
tionary vein, but that there was no
danger of another serious outbreak.
The fighting was confined to the
vicinity of the Cerdan House, where
a large number of revolutionists had
gathered to discuss plans for an up
rising.
Secret Service men heard of the
meeting, and the authorities ordered
a squad of police. to break it up.
When the officers approached the
house the occupants began to fire
from the windows and balconies.
Calls for reinforcements were sent
to headquarters and later soldiers
joined the police. 1t was during the
early stages Of the fight that the
daughter OF Cerdan was shot down by
the chief of police, and from that
time until the surrender probably
1000 shots were fired by both sides.
The fray lasted for three hours,
and during that time constant fire
from hesieged and besiegers con-
tinued. Many of the soldiers went
to tops Of adjoining buildings, some
to church towers, and from those
points poured q steady stream of bull
lets into the home of Cerdan.
