so almost universally carried may be

the larger sort are fitted with a purse

amount of small things that may be
carried without overcrowding is ratal-

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

Washington. March 23.-The Mass

terday, was generally discussed a
round the Capitol today. Champ Clark
the Democratic leader, said:
The news is the most pleasing and
important since 1892. 1t demonstrates
that the same causes are working the
same effects all over tine United
States. Taken in connection with the
election In DeArnond's district in
Missouri last winter, the inference is
that the popular rebellion against
Republican rule is growing in vol
une and intensity"
Many Republicans contended that
the result had no Significance, having g
been determined by local conditions.
Representative Payne would not dis
cuss the election. Representative
Foelker. of New York, who mas inter-

STATE STRUGGLES INSTEAD
OF NATION WIDE COAL STRIk

Cincinnati, March 23.-A series of
state struggles instead IF the threat
ened nationwide -aike of the soft
coal Eniners for increased pay, will
be the outcome of the present negotia-
tions between the miners and opera
tors in the general competitive field.
il today's information is correct. Ac-
cording to this report the joint con-
ference of the Ohio, Indiana and the
Western Pennsylvania owners and
employees will terminate without an
agreement. The Pennsylvania and
Indiana operators and miners then
held a conference and a probable a.
greement resulted. The Ohio opera
tors, 1t is expected, will continue to
resist the miners demands, and it is
predicted that the first strike, il it
comes, will be of the $4,000 union min
ers in that state.

GRAFTERs RUSHING TO CON-
FESS IN PITTSBURG, PA

Pittsburg, Pa, March 23.-The ser
ial story of the council-nanic graft,
which began with Captain" Johnny
Klein's ill-advised display of six five
thousand dollar bills on the street
about two years ago, promises another
sensation today with the presentation
to the grand jury of Joseph c. Was
sons confession. Wasson was a for
mer councilman. who a few days ago
began an eighteen months sentence
for bribery taking, and who has de-
cided to tell the district attorney all
he knows. This promise includes
sccne of the men higher up"
The instal'-aents of this stupendous
story of graft have been SO sposmad-
ic that a synopsis is here presented.
KIein's display of thirty thousand
dollars in bills on the streets in June
1908. excited the suspicion of Ernest
Frey. a harness maker. He reported
il TO the city auditor and the latter
told Mayor Guthrie and ne passed IL
on to the Voters League. to whom
the citizens OF Pittsburg are indebt-
ed for the prosecutions set in mo-
tion.
councilmen in connection with the
fictitious wood paving plan started
the bail rolling. This led into the bank
depository conspiracy and others
forms of graft. The result to date is
that the following are in the peniten-
tiary: w. w. Ru.nsey, former presi-
dent of the Germania National Bank;
William Brand, former president of
the common council: Joseph c. Was
son, former councilman; III. l.. Boil
ger is under sentence to the peniten-
tiarv: former councilman John +.
Klein is awaiting sentence and Z. III.
Jennings, president of the Columbia
National Bank and r. A. Griffin, the
cashier. are under indictment. Forty
one councilmen have confessed to
bribe sharing and twenty former and
present councilmen to receiving
bribes from five Thousand dollars
down to the bargain rate of $S1.10.
Nine more cou1cilmanic grafters
confessed their guilt today to Judge
Frazier. Those caught in the prosecu-
tors net from now on. it is said, will
be prosecuted. The material is now
in the hands of the district attorney
for nany indictments of more per-
sons for grating. These, it is report
ed. will include bankers, manufactur-
ers and real estate men.
