you place a postage stamp on It ana
did you mail it?"
I'm not positive"
Eventually, two letters were identi-
fed. In one of them, written subse-
uuent to the election Of Senator Lor-
inner, White said:
'I have only 80 cents in the world. II
you will fill in the enclosed promissory
note for whatever money you will loan
me I will be glad"
The note, made out for $50, also
was placed in evidence, and others
aggregating $100 were introduced. Some
of the expressions used in letters which
the defense attempted to introduce
were:
'Bv the grace of God, every cent you
have let me have will return"
'I have my ring In pawn for few
dollars"
1.-THE future is sure to bring surprises.
Do not be surprised at anything L may
do in the future"
BY the latter expression, the defense
will argue that White was attempt

read to the jury. In 1t White said he
was about to place his experiences as
a legislator before the public. He said
he had been Ottered SZZ0 q WORD LOT IT,

"Yes, sir"
White at this point produced his
contract by which the Tribune agreed
to pay him $325O for his story Of the
alleged bribery Part of this sum,
White said, had already been paid him.

SEATTLE, June 14.-Notice of ap-
neal was filed today at the immigra-
tion inspection office by counsel for
sixteen Hindus who arrived on the
steamship Minnesota and who were

to become public charges.
OF the thirty-five Hindus on the
Minnesota nineteen were debarred be-
cause of physical unsoundness. 1t Is

sound Hindus that as each Of them
has $50 cash, years living is pro-
vided for him.
It is asserted also that the Hindus
views on marriage are q matter to be
ignored as the men do not intend to
practice polygamy in this country or
to marry at all.

most embittered legislative day ever
known in Oklahoma history resulted
Wien the democratic majority in the

Taylor initiative and referendum bill
Tor the purpose OF disfranchising 40,-
600 negro voters, and that this was
desired for the purpose of keeping tne
republican party in the minority.
Only the coolest heads prevented per-
sonal encounters and perhaps blood
shed. The bill was passed by strict
party vote, and now goes to Gov. Has
kell for approval.
The republicans will Immediately,
appeal to the courts if the governor
signs the bill.
