Legislatorial Aspirants Were Ben
Gifted by the $1o7,793.

Milwaukee.-The senate commit
tee investigating alleged corrup-
ton during the campaign preceding
Senator Stephenson's election was
told by Rodney Sackett, one OF the
senator's campaign managers, that
candidates for the state legislature at
that time were recipients of portion
of the s1O7,793 campaign fund which
is said to have existed.
He testified that Thomas Reynolds
received several hundred dollars, Levi
H. Bancroft received $3.50, G. c. Well
lensgard received $3.50 and four 9TH
ers received similar amounts.
The men named were all candidates
for the legislature at the primaries OF
1908. Reynolds, Bancroft and Wellens-
gard were elected and in joint session
they voted for Mr.. Stephenson for the
senatorship. 1t was declared by the
witness, however. that the money was
given to the men to promote not their
own campaign, but that of Senator
Stephenson.

$4,000 to $4,000 out of the Stephen

was all given out in small amounts to
campaign workers, he said.
During Senator Stephenson's cam
paign there were made repeatedly
charges of bribery and corruption and
Senator Stephenson himself was COM
planning of the great amount of money
the campaign was costing him. Now,
under this condition, didn't 1t occur to
you that you were not keeping faith
with the people in your failure to
record in detail the money spent?
Didn't it come to you that you were
likely to face charges of bribery

the weather, too, became bitterly
cold. Hunger and lack of sleep added
to their suffering.
Finally the Berlin II. refused longer
to remain in the air and sank into a
forest IL miles north Of Holcombe.

Herr bunker were lost, struggling
without food for "a hours before they
arrived at this town.

Mount Rainier Park.
MACHINE RUNS INTO MIRE
Forest Rangers Give Assistance, But
Four Cars Are Abandoned Be-
cause of the Bad Condi-
ton of Roads.

Tacoma, Wash. - President Tart
climbed up 10 the foot of the glaciers
on Mount Rainier and narrowly es-
capped spending the night in the noun
tain fastness.
The presidential party made the as
cent in automobiles, and when near
ing the highest point reached by the
roadway some of the machines be-
came mired in the mud up to the hubs
of the wheels.
Night had fallen and storm threat
ened as the president started down
the decline. With searchlights blaz-
ing the way, the presidents car SLOW
ly crept Slong the edge of precipices'
and at times the outer wheels were
within two feet of a sheer drop OF
1000 feet or more.
The first so miles of the trip
were made over smooth roads. once
inside of Mount Rainier national park,
however, the party found the roads
wet and heavy. And as they proceed
ed the highway became almost quag'
mire. Finally several automobiles be-
came mired and with their own power
could go no farther.
The presidents car was in advance
of these and managed to pass through
even the worst parts of the road. The
president passed on up to the snow
line.
In the meantime forest rangers had
pulled several of the stalled automo-
biles from the mire, and they were
turned back for the return trip before
the presidents car reached them on
Pits downward trip.
The presidents car sank deep in
the muddy ruts in the road, and skid
ded badly at times, despite the safety
chains that had been thrown over the
car tires.
The president completed the jour-
ney as planned and arrived safely at
his train, which had been taken to
Ashford, near the mountain, and
passed through here en- route to Bel
l;ngham.

in a speech here predicted that the
Panama canal would be ready for

cret when ! tell you, you may see the

Leaving here, President Taft struck
south again on the homeward leg of
his long trim. From Bellingham the
president goes back to the capital by
way of Oregon and California, with a
run north from Salt Lake City into
