OF VICE AT ALBANY.
Policemen Talk With Women and Ac-

Albany, N. Y, Oct 13.-James W.
Osborne, counsel to the senate commit
tee which is investigating the govern
mental affairs of the city and county
OF Albany, continued his efforts today
to prove that an alliance of politics
and vice exists in, the capital city.
Robert S. Mcclellan. a private in

New York city, who yesterday testified
how he went through the preliminary
details of establishing a disorderly
house in the Tenderloin, even to bring

leader whom Mcclellan alleges aided

ent today and was identified by the
housekeeper and two girls as having
been at the house to look things over"
He was not called upon to testify.
Further evidence was taken today
concerning conditions in the Tender
loin. Mr.. Mcclellan said he had seen
policemen talking to women and even
accepting drinks from them while on
duty
Rev. Herbert Tinsley, g. former field
agent for the anti-saloon league, said:
s'The police make no effort to re-

April I saw a woman take two boys to

Most OF the Chinese in New York, if
the views of the editors of the Reform

State Constitution Peculiar to Itself.
A provision in the constitution of
the state differing somewhat from the
constitution of the United States, sec
tlons of the penal code regarding the
qualifications of jurors, and q contest
over the meaning of the record of Mel

points of contact which affect not alone
the taleSmen under examination, but
every prospective juror, and for this
reason they were stubbornly contested.
A Boyish Attorney
The sombre courtroom scene, where
opposing counsel argued for every

twice by touches of unconscious humor
which seemed to appeal to the court.

No, no. he said unsierst andingly,
and seemed himself to listen further.
Reference to Ruef Juror.
By chance, one OF the cases cited
by Attorney Horton showing the law
regarding eligibility of talesnen was
that of Juror Arthur, in the trial of

WANT BLAIR TO TELL
WHERE HE GOT iT.
Lorinner Committee Qu;zzes Man Who
Spent Money Freely.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-William C. Blair,
lawyer, ex-state representative and
brother of Francis G. Blair, state su-
perintendent of public instruction, was
a target today for a cross fire Of in
terrogation by the committee of Unit
ed States senators, conducting the Lor-
inner investigation.
Blair was charged by counsel and
members Of the committee with having
exhibited $1,5o0 in 500 bills at a ball
game at Centralia, Ills, shortly after
the election of Lorimer, and this charge
was followed by this frequently re-
peated question:
where did you get it?"
The witness had not answered this
question to the satisfaction of the COM
mittee when the hearing was adjourned
for The day and he will be recalled to
the stand tomorrow.
Me lntime the committee ordered by
telegraph by the state auditor and
state treasurer a, complete report of
when and how Blair drew the sum of
81 175, his salary, from the state as
a member of the legislature. With this
report in hand, the committee will ask
Blair to account for expenditures which
it is alleged amounted to more than
50 0G0 before the legislative session was
concluded. Blair said that In addition
to mis- salary as a member OF the leg
islature he received some money in
fees from his legal practice. The com
mittee asked fer a detailed account of
all such receipts and also telegraphed
for the court records of five counties
in southern Illinois to get a complete
record of Blair's appearance in court
from January 1 to July l, 1903.
Senator Kern of the senatorial com
naittee said he wanted a full record Of
all Blair's financial transactions, bank
accounts and collections from clients
for that period.

DEMOCRATS MUST
EXPLAIN THEIR ABSENCE.
Three of Them involved in Stephenson
Investigation.

Milwaukee Wis, Oct 13.-1ntima-
tons We're made today at the senate
rial investigation of Senator Isaac
Stephenson's election that the commit
tee intended to go thoroughly into the
charges of bribery as related to the
absence of certain members of the
Wisconsin legislature on March 4, 1909,
when the senator was elected.
The charge was made in-a previous
legislative inquiry that Senator
Stephenson was elected after five
weeks deadlock, and then only after
three democratic assenlblymen had alb
sented themselves, thus giving
Stephenson a ma jority.
Most of today's session was given
over to consideration of the Wisconsin
primary law. When William G.Wheeler
testified that under the present law in
dividuals rather than political parties
had to bear the expense of campaigns
and only about 25 per cent. of the
voters took advantage of the prina-
ries.
Wheeler estimated it would cost
$4,000 to conduct a senatorial cam
paign properly, whereas Senator
Stephenson spent only s107,793.
All the witnesses said they never had
heard of any of Senator Stephenson's
money being used scorruptly.
