tried TO dispose OF the offending pork
at John Garvey's place.
Garvey would have none OF II, and
White told him to take IL gratis and
bury II some place. That's where the
police come 1t. Officer Tubbs was the
man--WiIliam III. Tubbs-and he Is
Just as rotund as the name implies.
Tubbs told Police Justice Jeffries
that White abused him something
shamefully. Jacob l.. Walsh, an In
spector for the board OF health, also
took hand. His interest was chiefly
in the pork. He says. with Tubbs,
that White is no gentleman
From Garvey's. the whole party
went In search OF Mr. Black, who was
known to have had possession of the
pork at one time. Blac,; objected
very strenuously 10 being dragged
into the affair and said so In terms
that left no doubt as to his displeas-

The row became general and end
ed in the arrest of Black and White.
In the excitement, the fate OF the
side OF pork was forgotten.
Justice Jeffries sized the situation
up and waved the entire delegation
out of court.

Business Manager OF Journal OF Com

" Offered Brides.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Revela-
ten of several attempts TO buy the
editorial support of the New YORK
journal OF Commerce in favor of ship
enbsidy legislation, which that paper
has consistently opposed, was made 20
the house ship subsidy investigating
committee yesterday by Alfred W..
Dodsworth, business manager OF the
Journal OF Commerce and CONNER
ciai Bulletin.
The witness said that his paper
never had been subsidized by any in

columns had no relation. But, ne
testified, about six years ago an un-
known man came into his office and
offered to pay the Journal of Com
nerce 100000, taking 100000 COP
les OF his paper, for the insertion OF
an article on one issue supporting the
ship subsidy legislation.
This man refused 10 disclose his
identity unless his proposition was to
be accepted. His proposition was, ia
the event OF acceptance, TO make out
certified check immediately for $1G,
900 to bind the agreement and 20 pay
the balance of $4,000 on publication
OF the article.
Mr.. Dodsworth said he Immediately
called his brother, John W., into his
Office as a witness to the conversation
and the proposition was turned down
as an attempt TO make an improper
ARRANGEMENT.
That, however, was only one such
event. Pressed by the committee, Mr..
