MAY INVOLVE CANNON
Grand Jury investigating Vote Traffic
In His County

Danville, H., Jan. 21.-The biggest
scandal in the history Of the home
town and county of Speaker Joseph
G.. Cannon is at the breaking point.
A Vermillion county grand jury has
begun an inquiry into traffic in votes
which threatens to involve 40 per cent
OF the electroate and indirectly to
faint Speaker Cannons reelection to
Congress.
While there are hundreds of nerv-
Gus voters in every part OF this popu-
lous country, the spasm centers in
Danville City and township where
$500 voters are said to be corrupt.
All eyes are centered on the semi
circular county building OF yellow
brick in the Danville plaza, where the
grand jury is holding secret sessions.
The corrupt voters particularly fear
the foreman of that jury. Isaac Wood
yard, a retired farmer OF wealth, who
is now president of the City National
bank at Ridge Farm, a town 16 miles
south OF Danville.
A stocky little man OF the bulldog
type is Foreman woodward. Deter
mination is written on every line OF
his sharp, smooth-shaven face. When
he talks about the traffic in votes for
which the county has long been infa-
nous one knows why the guilty vo-
ters fear him.
I'VE have been commanded by
Judge Kimbrough to examine into the
traffic of votes in Vermillion county
and to point out the guilty." he said.
1T is a huge job but We propose to
go through with II. There is no
doubt there has been a scandalous
amount Of such criminal traffic in the
county. In Danville township there
are $500 votes for sale at every cleo
ton. am told that conditions at the
Soldiers Home are particularly bad.
There are several voting plague spots
in the city Of Danville; the negro vote
has been particularly corrupted.
mo one has volunteered any dir
ect evidence OF individual corruption,
as yet; We do not expect volunteers
at this stage cf the inquiry, nor are
they necessai. ! think | know n
way TO bring cIt The necessary evil
dence, but as - methods l can say
nothing.
over In Ohio. in n corrupt county,
they found way OF getting at the
corrupt voters. We will find way
here. The grand jury will not wait
to dispose OF the 40 criminal cases
that are In sight We will begin on
the election corruption matter at once
and without waiting for volunteers"
Judge II. II. Il. Kimbrough. Dem
ocrat, eight years on the bench, who
particularly charged the grand jury
to go after the corrupt voters, has
great faith in this particular jury.
II have done my part in charging the
jury to seek out these crimes" he
said. I'm advance Of possible indict-
ments have nothing to say as to pun
ishment or immunity. The penalty
provided by law may be severe"
State Attorney John Lewman who
Is advising with the grand jury, is
quite as big a man physically as
Judge Kimbrough, and holds local
reputation Of steadfastness to duty
which knows neither fear nor favor.
He is a Republican, which gives the
election corruption investigation n
non-partisan flavor. Before becom-
ing a state attorney he served as may
or OF Danvllle.

caustio Soda Used TO Destroy Worn
Out French Currency.

Everybody knows that WORKOUT
banknotes in this country are destroy
ed by maceration at the treasury de-
partment, but the manner in which the
notes of the Bank Of France are de-
stroyed is probably not SO well known.
At the head Office of the Bank Of
France there is permanent tribunal
before which all doubtful paper Is
brought. The tribunal writes "anulep
on the faces of the banknotes. The
judgment is countersigned by the
treasurer, and they are taken to the
cellars in which the printing Office is
A1tuated. In the presence Of the banks
00acial they are brought out for an.
nihil9tjan. Distributed one by one into
baekets, the condemned notes are emp
tied into great cylinder half filed
with water and caustic soda.
The oriflce Of the cylinder is then
locked and set in motion. 1t turns for
two days, at the end Of which time
the officials who presided at the be-
ginning Of the operation return to witt
ness the end Of the notes.
Furnished with q long spoon, a work
man thrusts into the depths Of the
cylinder and withdraws a thick, steam
ing liquid. which he pours into thin
basin. Another workman approaches
with q similar spoon, with which he
stirs the stuff around to make sure
not remnant has been left Of the
notes. When the banknote soup has
been reduced to paste it Is sold for 81
hundred kilos, about 200 pounds, al
though the paper at one time cost S.
for two pounds Washington Herald.

WHISTLER In a RAGE.
Lady Meux Made Him Fairly spluttss
With Anger.

Lady Meux Made Him Fairly splutter'
With Anger.
Whistler painted three portraits Of
Lady Meux, one of which, the sable
Picture of Lady Meux," is missing.
That one was the third for which
Lady Meux sat to the eccentric artist.
The other two are described In the
PennelIs life Of the artist as among
his most distinguished portraits. Lady
Meux twas handsome, Of more luxu-
RANT type than the women who usual
" sat to him." and be '.found for her
harmonies appropriate to her beauty.
The first was an Arrangement In
White and Black which few people
have seen. There is a sumptuousness
In the black Of the shadowy back
ground and the velvet gown, In the
white Of the fur Of the long cloak,
that Whistler never surpassed. WINS
tier was pleased with it and spoke Of
it as his beautiful Black Lady, Lady
Meux was so well satisfied that she at
once sat for second portrait. This
time the harmony was In Flesh Col
or and Pink afterward changed to
Pink and Gray"
The missing portrait was smaller.
So far as the artists biographers
could find ont, it was never finished.
The explanation is probably to be
found in this story, quoted In the
life from Mr.. Harper Pennington:
'The only time / saw Jimmy stump
ed for reply was at a sitting Of
Lady Meux (for the portrait in sables).
For some reason Jimmy became nerv-
ous exasperated - and impertinent.
Touched by something he had said, her
ladyship turned softly toward him and
remarked quite softly, See here, Jimmy
Whistler, you keep civil tongue In
that head Of yours or win have in
some one to finish those portraits you
have made Of mer with the faintest
emphasis on finish Jimmy fairly
danced with rage. He came up to
Lady Meux, his long brush tightly
grasped and actually quivering In his
hand, held tight against his side. He
stammered, spluttered and finally
gasped out: How dare you? How
dare your But that, after all, was
not an answer, was It? Lady Meux
did not sit again. Jimmy never spoke
Of the incident afterward, and was
sorry to have witnessed it."
