IIAPGOOD SUBJECT OF TALK
Members Of the Legislature received
to-day printed copies of the letter sent
nv NJ. l. Hapgood of Peru to the State
treasurer accompanying his check for
s78o. which he stated was conscience
money "unduly taken by me for fun
mileage one way upon occasion OF the
| THANKSGIVING recess of session Of 1904"
In the letter Mr.. IIapgood says he pro-
resses to be a Christian and aims to no
a true citizen and proceeds TO severely
crticise the action OF the present Leg
lslnt,,r. in voting mileage for the recent

The question that pushes the mem
hers, who have looked the matter up, Is
as to what kind OF conscience MI
Rapgood must have when it is moved
by sl130 and not apparently bothered in
the least BY s1l4, especially when Mr.
HapEood probably knew that in 1906 he
