WOMAN WITNESS SAYS
SHE DEALS IN SENATORS

JACKSON, Miss, April Mrs. C. j.
Neill was the star witness today in
the investigation of the bribery charge
made by Senator Bilbo. who says he
was offered bribe to vote for Percy
for United States senator.
Mrs Neill testified that she arranged
the meeting between Senator Bilbo and
Dulaney.
When asked her business she replied,
"bookkeeper, handling real estate and
dealing in Mississippi senator's"
She described how she introduced
Bilbo to Dulaney; how the latter told
her "to feel out the weak legislators
and see if they could be reached"
She swore that she was to be paid
'in proportion to the crop" and said
she naturally desired a big crop.
Mrs. Neill told how she went to New
Orleans to confer with those interest
ed: how she was followed by detectives
and she said she believed her life was
in, danger. She saidsshe did not know
It was a crime to bribe an official and
believed she did no wrong, for the men
she sought to bribe were already cor
rupt.
An attempt to get her to name some
other senators was voted down by the
senate on the ground that the inves-
tigation was into the Bilbo charges
only.

z BROTHERS END
LIVES TOGETHER
Kansas City Men, Ruined Through
Speculation, Carry Out
Death Pact

KANSAS CITY, April 7.-Financial
losses incurred In partnership bro
kerage business are believed to have
caused the double suicide of Nels and
G. w. Olsen, brothers, whose bodies
were found on a bank of the Missouri
river, three miles east of here today.
The deatehs, 1t appears, were deliber-
ately planned. on January 20, fol-
lowing a series of reverses on the board
of trade, the brothers left their apart
ment house here and have not been
seen alive since After their depar-
ture, relatives said that the men had
announced that they had lost all"
and intended to kill themselves.
Rumors had 1t that the losses
amounted to between $4,000 and $780,
000
Two fishermen came upon the bodies
today. They appeared to have been
dead for several weeks. Clutched
tightly in the hand of one man was a
revolver containing two empty shells.
Authorities say he may have shot his
brother and then killed himself.
Attempts had been made to remove
from their clothing all marks that
would establish identity. A postcard
addressed to Nels Olsen was found in a
coat pocket. The pocket also con-
tained advertisements from several
money lenders.
The Olsens are said to have been
retired farmers. They formerly operat-
ed a brokerage office in Sylvia, Kas.
Two sisters and a son-in-law of one
of the men reside there. The brokers
registered at the board of trade here
from Lindsburg, Kas.
Henry Samuelson of Mcpherson,
Kas. tonight identified the men.

7. RS RECEPTION
To De NATIONAL
Vanderbilt Says Welcome at New
York Will Be Neither Local
nor Partisan
rsneciaI 10 The Herald. ]

NEW YORK, April 7.-Cornelius
Vanderbilt, chairman of the reception
committee to have charge Of the home
coming welcome to former President
Roosevelt, called to the attention OF
the committee that the impression
seems to be held in some quarters that
the reception is to be partisan, local
affair. This impression was said by
Mr.. Vanderbilt to be possibly due to
a misconception of the part being ta-
ken in the affair by the Republican
club of New York city. He intimated
that the activity of some of the Re
publican leaders might be misconstrued
in such a way as to hinder the ma
tional scope of the undertaking.
On suggestion of Mr.. Vanderbilt the
committee therefore issued a state
ment today in which 1t says:
1--WE are glad that the matter has
been brought to the front and en-
phatic denial is made of the local char
acter of the reception. The committee
named by the Republican club in
cludes leading representatives from its
nonresident membership and the club
stands ready to receive suggestions
from bodies outside of New York city.
Both this committee and the citizens
committee would be glad to cooperate
with others who desire to help welcome
the eX-president.
1.-THE committee is particularly anx-
ious to have everybody know that there
is to be nothing partisan or local
about the reception"

FOR BWANO TUMBO
lmitator of Roosevelt Declares
Burial of Tim Now Would
Be Waste of Time
ASSOCIATED Press1

ALBANY, N. Y, April 7.-Official
Albany took a night off to attend the
annual dinner of the Legislative Cor
respondents association tonight.
Governor Hughes, Timothy L.'Wood-
ruff, chairman of the Republican state
committee; Chairman William j. Con-
ners of the Democratic state commit
tee and scores OF state officers, legis-
lators and men prominent in public
life, enjoyed the shafts of wit that
flashed across the banquet board.
While the diners were assembling in
the lobby of the Ten Eyck hotel, a
member of the association, dressed to
represent Deacon "Hi' Moe of Groton
circulated among them. He ap-
preached Governor Hughes and other
prominent guests, handing to each an
envelope labeled Don't Get Mine
Mixed With Anybody Else's."
The banquet hall was decorated ella
borately. One end of the room was
reserved as a memorial to the "Old
Guard" There was not a touch of
red, white or blue on that wall. In
stead it was hung with a black flag,
having in the center a skull and cross
bones. Under the flag was the inscrip-
tion, Its Better to Nail the Black
Flag to the Masthead than to Run
Up the White Flag of Surrender"
Near InlS were lWO OlhGT luSCIlp-
tions:
''The Old Guard Dies but Never
Surrenders," and Don't Cheer, Boys"
While the guests were trying to pay
attention to some of the eatables the
lights went out and there was a loud
blare of horns, crashing OF drums and
rolls of thunder. Then. in a blaze of
a spotlight, appeared "Bwano Tumbo'
in African costume, with a gun
strapped across his, shoulders. He an
nounced emphatically that he would
not have "a Return from Elba."
"They tell me Root is trying to bury
Tim Woodruff" he said. THAT is
absurd. ridiculous. Woodruff has been
dead so long it would be a waste of
time"
A person representing himself as
Elihu Root, United States senator, was
called upon to answer few questions.
"What do you think will be the
principal issue of the coming cam
paign?" he was asked.
"Trying to forget recent events" Mr..
Root said after much thought.
Then followed a farewell address by
Governor Hughes, impersonated by
one of the members, in which he paid
his respects to the bosses and poll
ticians. and predicted they would all
be turned out to grass as soon as the
direct primary bill began working.

THINK DENVER GIRL
TAMALPIAS VICTIM

DENVER, Apuril TT now feel GER
tain that Helen Jensen was the woman
who was murdered on Mount Tamal-
pals, and that the woman who said she
was Ellen Jensen and claimed the girls
trunk at the San Francisco warehouse
was instructed to go there simply to
avert suspicion" said Mrs. Anna Lyt-
tell head of the Young Women S
Friendly club of Denver, today.
''I knew Miss Jensen well, and have
written many letters and made every
effort to find her in san Francisco and
elsewhere. Some of the letters have
been returned unopened and others
have not been returned"
The theory of Mrs. Lyttell is that the
murderer either took Miss Jensen's
trunk check off her body after the
crime or that he obtained it from
among her effects and sent woman to
claim the trunk.

Any Shipping Interest to

ASSOCIATED Pressl

M ASHINGTON, April 7.-Testlfying
w he had received in checks from
5000 to $1,000 from the Merchant
Marine league of the United States to
cover expenses in speech-making trips,
and that he had never received a dollar
in cash, former Representative James
L. McCleary Of Minnesota, once second
assistant postmaster general, occupied
the witness stand at today's session of
the house ship subsidy committee hear
ing.
Besides the committee, there was an
array of individuals interested in the
legislation.
Mr.. McCleary was given permission
to correct the record of his previous
testimony, saying that instead of the
amounts he had received from the
league mot equaling the expenses" he
wished to say that they did not ma
terially exceed his expenses.
Mr.. Garrett of Tennessee, a Demo-
crat, for the committee questioned him
closely as to this.
Mr.. McCleary explained he always
accepted the leagues invitations to
make addresses If he could get away
at the time; that money not being a
material consideration, he had not kept
a memorandum; that at some times
months passed without his receiving
simply gave me what they thought
fully covered by expenses"
Can you roughly estimate what has
been paid you?" asked Mr.. Garrett
Such an estimate would have to be
very rough" the witness replied. 81

about fifteen months. Some of the trips
have been long,"
"Will you file a statement of amounts
you have received?" Mr.. Garrett asked.
II don't believe 1 could" the witness
replied. II kept no memorandum. In
one instance 1 got $500. Then 1 had
not received anything from them for a
long time"
DO you own stock in any shipping
concern?" Mr.. Garrett asked.
II am sorry to say | do not. I have
no interest In shipping other than any
other American has. 1 never received
dollar knowingly from anybody hav-
ing such interest"
James A. Penton, secretary of the
league. will testify at tomorrow's ,ses-
sion Of the committee.
