GOT THE HABIT
 OF BEING TEMPTED EFFORTS TO SuBSIDIZE NEW YORK JOURNAL OF COMMERCE. They Are Said to Have Covered a
 Period of Twenty Years.

Washington, Jan. 25.-A revelation of attempts to buy the editorial support of the New York Journal of Commerce
 in favor of ship subsidy legislation, which that paper has consistently Op- posed, was made to the house ship subsidy investigation committee today by Alfred w. Dodsworth, business manager of the paper.
 Earlier in the day Paul G. Fornier, representing the Uranium s. s. line, against which the so-called London conference lines, controlling what is alleged to be 9S per cent of the Atlantic passenger traffic, are arrayed, told how the railroad authorities of this coun- try notably the Central Passenger as sociation at Chicago, had refused to sell tickets routed over independent lines.
 As a result of the evidence ot Dods- worth, his brother. John w. Dodsworth. editor of the Journal of Commerce, will be recalled to Washington to explain why he failed to enlighten the commit tee in the recent testimony. It is prob- able that Charles A. COnnant of New York may be asked to throw light on dI bIltI lO SuDSlulLe lIle Ddptr, Cldluleu to have been forwarded through him to the Journal of Commerce. which he then represented as Washington cores pendent. DodswOrth was satisfied that his paper had never been subsidized by any of the interests. But about six years ago, a proposition came into the office offering to pay the Journal of Commerce $100.0O0 and taking one mill lion copies of his paper for the inser- tion of an article in one issue support ing ship subsidy legislation.
 The man who made the offer refused to give his identity unless the propo- sition was accepted. Dodsworth said he immediately called his brother into the office, as a witness to the conver- sation and the proposition was de- clined.
 Another man, about twenty years ago Dodsworth said, tried to buy the support of the paper for $4O,OOO, and in the Spanish American war the Spanish government tried to buy the papers influence.
 The members of the committee sharply criticized the two brothers for failing to submit this information to the committee and pointed out that when John w. Dodsworth in his tes- Limony sometime ago had been asked as to such matters he had denied any information such as that disclosed today

 The measure does not apply in any way to any rights or claims initiated prior to the passage of the bill. All the lessees or licensees are limited to one lease or license. with a maxi mum of 3.2O0 acres. The rental charge is made per acre, and the leases are not to exceed thirty years. on a royalty basis of from cents to 10 cents a ton.

EFFECT OF BIG SALARIES ON SENSE OF JUSTICE MIR. NORRIS CHARACTERISTIC
 INSURGENT IDEA. Opposition to Increase<of Pay of Cir
 cult Judges.

Washington, Jan 25.-Representa- tive Norris of Nebraska, the insur- gent leader. and Representative Burke of Pennsylvania clashed in the house today in the debate on raising the salaries of federal circuit court judges.
 MT. Norris said that to increase the pay of these judges would have the effect of elevating them to a higher station in society, with the resultant tendency ito forget human rights and human liberties"
 MT. Burke said he deplored such an argument as that advanced by Mr. Norris. There has been too much of that kind of doctrine preached to the American people" he declared, and it ought to stop. We voted to raise our salaries as congressman S2,500 a year. Is there any man here willing to say that the increase has made us forget human rights and human Iiberties?'
 Representative Bennett of New York proposed to raise circuit court salaries from S7.OOO to $1O.OOO a year. but he said he was willing to accept an amendment offered by MT. Mann of Illinois of SS,5OO.
 MT. Manns amendment was de- feated by a vote of 124 to 152. The Bennett amendment, fixing the sal aries at $1O.O0O. was also defeated. the vote being 50 to 21S.

THE GOVERNMENT
 RATHER THAN STATES
All Testimony Before the Railroad
 Securities Commission.

Chicago. Jan. 25.-AdditionaI testi- mony favoring the federal regulation of the issuance of railroad securities as against state control, was given before the railroad securities com mission today by George Reynolds, president of the Continental Com mercial National bank. Reynolds said that too strict federal control might result in the government being held responsible for the success or failure of enterprises.
 Another danger. he said. would lie in limiting the profits which securi ties should yield. He thought that if the profits were limited the tendency would be to make railroad stocks less popular. Alluding to rates. Reynolds said the country was suffering from too many parallel lines.

 million grand jury investigation into vote trafficking took on new life today and involved the instigator Judge F.. R. F.. Kimbrough. In ad- dition d half score of leading demo- critic politicians have been drawn
 into the inquisitiOn. Todays de- velopments:
 Judge KimbrOugh was summOne d to testify before the grand jury. which he himself charged to make the investigation. Mayor Platt was asked to testify.
 The order for the exclusion of cleo tions held more than eighteen months ago, was under fire.
 The courts own election was brought into the searchlight.
 The mayor and Kimbrough an nounced that they will go before the inquisitors and unreservedly tell all they know
 Late today subpoenaes were is- sued and given to the sherifrs of flee for immediate service which made the city gasp. The political aspect of the move today. which was intensified when Foreman Isaac Woodyard showed surprise when asked about the new list, at once became the chief topic of conver- sation in Danville
 Foreman Woodward. who has said
 just wait, We will get to the bot tom of this thing had only a smile for questioners tonight Many sub poenaes have been issued in deff- ance of the instructions of Judge Kimbrough, who told the grand jur- ors that they weree empowered only to investigate the alleged vote traffic during the last eighteen months.
 The courts interpretation of the law which exempted his own election. be- came a matter of public interest. The order also excluded from examina- tion the election of States Attorney Lewman and Mayor Platt.
 A peculiar situation will arise when Marlborough appears to testify. He will be under fire from the body he himself directed to do the firing: he will be examined by an officer of his own cOurt-State's Attorney Lewman-and inqidentally Lewman will be asked questions which will open up his own campaign for in- spection.

He said. however, that he lid not know what was done with the money. Platt said the money was spent chiefly in keeping to- sether his organization.
 Until the sudden turn of affairs today. those whose elections were chiefly under fire. were Sheriff | Shepard and Speaker Cannon. both republicans
 If the inquiry goes back more than | eighteen months it will open an at ! ack upon the elections in which the | democrats. Platr and Marlborough. | were successful.
 This circumstance. which removes | he question of party advantage, is aken as an indication of Foreman | Noodyard's plan of campaign, by | which he expects to get results

 The car with fifty people, was ap- preaching Tokio station when the bandits swung aboard, one on each end of the car With a yell they began shooting into the roof and sides of the car. The passengers were terrorized. and submitted with out a mIrmur when one bandit with out halting the fusilIade from an automatic pistol ordered MotOrman C. L. Schaefer to take off his cap and pass through the car collecting money and valuables
 Harlan said afterwards that he had no thought of resisting until he saw Mitchell fall wounded and felt a blow from the same bullet just over his heart. The bandits, es- corting the mOtcrman on the cOllec- tiOn tour had not reached Mitchell when the latter was shot Harlan drew a revolver under cover of his coat and fired through a doorway. Instantly the smaller of the two bandits reeled and let his weapon fall. Blood spouted from holes in both cheeks. He grasped his com panion, and both raced through the car to the front end and leaped off.
 As they fled the mOtOrman started the car toward TokiO where a mes sage was telephoned to the sheriff. After that the car started with all speed to the city. in order that Nit chell might have surgical attention at once.
