WAS A R|OT 0F GRAFT
HEAVYWEIGHT OF PITTs6uRG's couNclLmEN HAVE NOW CON
 PISSED TO BRIBERY.
THOSE HIGHER UP ARE KNOWN
Admissions Made to District Attorney Have Revealed the Source of Money With Which the councilmen Were Bouoht-lndIotments to Follow.


 Pittsburg. Pa, Mar 2b.-The coun' cilmanic graft investigation in Pitts burg grew more searching and terror increased among & certain class of people. William Brand. president or A preyious common council, who Is under three and one-half years sen tence for grating, and Attorney Hugh Ferguson. formerly a councilman and one of the leading attorneys of Penn sylvania broke down and going before the district attorney made sworn statements of what they knew about grating. Councilman Joseph Wasson, who completed the big trio in councils, was brought from riverside peniten- tiary where he had already began to serve his sentence and he also made . full confession to the district attor- ney. It is admitted in the district at. torney's office that the confessions oi three lay bare the source of the moneys which went into the pockets of Pittsburg councilmen in the lasl few years. The names of the men higher up probably will be made pub lie through indictment.
 The grand jury, which sat through the whole day adjourned until morning without making public any of the bills which they may have found. There is a world of uneasiness and business in Pittsburg has fallen off S5 per cent in the last four days owing to the growth of the graft scandal.
 Nine more councilmen came into court and admitted that they too had received money for their votes in councils. This makes total of 2S to date who have confessed to having been bribed.
 President Taft is to be appealed to In order that councilman John Klein may not be confined in Riverside peni. tentiary at all or if he Is sent there that he be released in a very few days. This promise and s25,000 cash in hand, paid by the Voters League of Pittsburg, was the price exacted by the convicted councilman before he would confess, came out and the publication caused a great sensa. ton. It also come out that Klein had demanded of others the sum of s100,- 900 as the price of his silence, that this money be paid his wife in cash that she might invest 1t while he was in prison and be prepared to take him far from Rittsburg when he was re- leased after his 31s years term.
 Klein is a nervous wreck He has received three more letters threaten ing him with bodily harm If he was ever caught on the streets of Pitts burg. Two of the letters threatened him with death in horrible form "When caught" and the little boodlel became so worried that he asked that third detective be detailed as his personal guard, which was done. The feeling of unrest is such now thai District Attorney Blakeley. Assistant District Attorney Seymour, Detective Robert Wilson and Attorney Aloe Wei of the Voters League. all prominent 1T the prosecution. have asked and beer furnished bodyguards of detectives.

The race was speedy and the quintet kept punched till near the three quarters when the colonel secured lead and finished length ahead of Kermit, who was greatly dis appointed at being unable to beat his father.
 The day was otherwise without in- cident. The colonel characteristically combining two days excursions in one, set a pace that was too hot for Laurence Abbot who returned after lunch to the hotel An hour later Iddings also appeared with never again" expression on his face.
 The party, consisting of the colonel, Mrs. Roosevelt, Ethel. Kermit. Abbott, Iddings. Weigall, Harold Jones and Bimbashi Teal, crossed to Nile in a boat flying the American flag.

 Ne Kings.

C., where Col. Roosevelt saw evidence of what history fakirs the Egyptian kings were who lad fagantly erased the nawes of the original builders, in- serting their own.
 On the homeward way the party saw the Colossi of Memmon and the Ramessem. Tke ladies wisely rode. Then the party took tea on board the Dahbia of Mrs Mum of Chicago, which was lying opposite the hotel.

A Rig Deal Which Means Much To
 LyDchburg and the Entire South

An agreement has been entered into whereby Craddock-Terry Co. will &C., ouire a controlling interest in the George D. Witt Shoe company Jan uary l.
 This deal is in no sense "a combination in restraint of trade" but is very i'm portant move looking to the further de- velopment of the shoe industry of Lynch burg.
 The Craddock-Terry company and the George D. Witt shoes company have made wonderful progress in shoe manufacture ing, but in order to get the best re- suits, in order to produce the best shoes at the lowest prices, shoes of each grade and kind should be manufactured in a separate factory, and by consolidating the factories of both companies under prac- tically one management making in each factory the grade and kind of shoes which can be produced to the best ad- vantage, it will enable both companies to make a great improvement in the quality and a material saving in the cost of the shoes sold by both Craddock-Terry com pany and by the George D. Witt Shoe company, and will naturally increase the rapidly growing demand for Lynchbury- made shoes
 Cfaddock-Terry company has long en- joyed the reputation of being the largest manufacturers of shoes in the south, but this deal puts them in a class with the largest manufacturers in their line in the world. and it makes Lynchburg a big fSctor in the worlds commerce so far as shoes are concerned.
 This announcement will be of great in- terest to the shoe trade all over the United States. as both of these progress sive manufacturers enjoyed a patronage in almost every state in the union, hay ing enlarged the territory in which they operate year by year. until now Lynch burg-made shoes find a ready market in the largest cities of the south, east. north and west,
