SHIELDS ACTIONS ARE INVESTIGATED Is Summoned Before Steph-
 ensOn Committee MIR. WHITE TESTIFIES Trunk Filled With Papers Is Intro- duced as Evidence in Hearing.
 Papers Have Been Out
 of the State

Milwaukee, Wis, October 19.-Robert J. Shields alleged activity during the cleo
 ton of United States Senator Stephenson | by tho Wisconsin legislature, was in-
 ouired into by the senatorial Investigating
 committee today.
 Shields also has testified in the investi- gation of Senator Lorimer. Shields name
 was called by the committee today, but 1t was said he was still in Chicago in con- | nection with the Lorimer case. 1 Richard J. White, a salesman of Mill
 waukee, testified he was with Shields at l Madison on March 4, 1909, when three
 democratic assemblymen absented them-
 selves from the legislature and thus gave
 Senator Stephenson a majority which se- cured his election.
 "1yas it openly charged that these three democratic members were bribed?" asked Senator Hepburn.
 T don't remember of hearing anything about that"
 He was still on the stand when ad. journment was taken. He will be eXaIn- med further tomorrow. The committee
 also expects Shields to be present to- morrow.
 A trunk filled with papers that are ex- rected to throw light on the bribery charges appeared before the investigat- ing committee today. W. F.. Black. an attorney for Senator
 Stephenson. explained that the trunk con-
 tained documents relative to the sena- tors primary campaign in 1908, when he
 expended s1070o0. After the primaries the Iapers were shipped from Milwaukee 10 Marinette, Wis, and then were sent to
 Escanaba, Mich, so that, being out of
 the state. they were beyond reach of legislative committee which had begun
 to investigate the senator's campaign ex penses.
 The papers originally were taken from
 the Stephenson Milwaukee headquarters.
 Attorney Black said the trunk had been sert from the state because Senator Stephenson felt the legislative committee
 had no authority to pry into his affairs. Tie papers now in custody of the senatorial committee.
