Peter Pan refuses to make any conces

 When I reached New York after Harry's unfortunate affair. 1 was in doubt whether to have Harry sent to an insane asylum--a decent insane asylum, not MatteaWan-or have him stand trial I was d sick, old woman. and not so keen.
 The name of Governor Hughes ap peared in one letter read to Mrs. Thaw and she was asked if she was opposed to the employment of Cover nor Hughes in her sons case.
 'No.' Mrs. Thaw replied. T was not opposed to the employment of Governor Hughes personally. but it was rumored that he might be made governor and l did not want politics mixed up in any way in Harrys case

 The banquet hall was decorated elaborately One end of the room was reserved as a memorial to the "Old Guard" There was not touch of red. white or blue on that wall Instead it was hung with a black flag having in the center d skull and cross bones.

Pears was averse giving the name of Crcnin until he was threatened with q fine for con tempt. Cronin. when informed of Pears testimony denied the charge.
 Representative Frank Woods of Me dina, testified that Representative Meyer Gelerd of Lucas. during con- versation had given him an impress sion that efforts had been made to bribe him to support the bill. He also testified that Representative Moritz of Cuayahoga had told him that he had been offered $50 to vote against the reconsideration of the Bison measure. To these men. Woods said. he had given advice that if they could not prove that the offers had been made and if no one overheard them. they had better say nothing.
 The testimony of Representative Bison Of Tuscarawas, the author of the measure. that no one had assisted him in its preparation. was contra dicted by his seat mate. Representa- tive Smith of Marion. who said that Elson told him that Cyrus Huling. a Columbus attorney had given him aid in drawing the bill.
 Huling has been active for several years in independent telephone inter ests. The connection of his name with them threw light on the efforts to get the bill through. for while it legalizes telephone mergers. the inde- pendents asserted that they were op- posed to its passage.
