STEPHENSON
Manager Thinks SlO7,793
Actually Spent Rather Small
NO SYSTEM IN CAMPAIGN
About Another Hundred Thousand
Could Have Been Put Out to
Good Advantage

Milwaukee. Wis, Oct 10.-From
the testimony given yesterday before
the United States Senate committee
which is investigating charges that
bribery contributed to the election of
Senator Isaac Stephenson, 1t was
gathered that Mr.. Stephenson's cam.
paign managers regarded the $1O7I-
1893, admittedly spent, small compar
ed with the $4,000 or 100000
which might have been spent on a
more systematic campaign. The ex-
pensiveness of the campaign was de-
clared to be partly due to a close
fight between two factions in the re-
publican party in Wisconsin, one
headed by Senator Robert Nj. La Fol-
lette, and the other by Senator
Stephenson, a regular" republican.
AS showing Senator Stephenson S
position and how he had to spend

erature was read into the record, ex-
planning that Senator Stephenson

The statement of Rodney Sackett
one Of Senator Stephenson's cam
paign managers, that $4,000 OF
100000 might legitimately have
been spent for the senatorial nomi
nation, prompted Senator Atlee
Pomerene OF Ohio. a member of the
committee. to say: IF S1070O is
not enough to nominate United
States senator in Wisconsin. how
much is? And what could you dc

p. Rodgers, ON his coast-to-coast
flight in the contest for w. r.
Hearst's prize of $4,000. landed at
the State Fair grounds here at 500
o'clock last evening, having covered
the distance from Joliet to this city
in eight hours, including stops at
Streator, Peoria, and Middletown.
Middletown was not on his schedule
for stopping place, but he was
forced to descend there because his
oil tank sprang leak, and as he
wished to accomplish his flight to
this city unimpeded, and feared that
the leaky tank might prevent his
landing here, he decided to descend
at Middletown and repair the leak.
Preceding Rodgers was a special
train, which served as a pathfinder.
The aviator, coming out of the north
west, veered off the Alton way, and.
making a detour, landed in the mid
die of the aviation field. In landing
he executed pretty curve, turning

THREE FIRES OF

 With Facts

Mont gomery. July 12.-tSpecial)- Of four fires that were investigated by Fire Marshal Lorrie Rice during the month of June. all of which were made upon request. three of them, in the judgment of the marshal, were of in- cendiary origin. One of the alleged in ceadiary fires is attributed to malice; another to warning factions, and the third to fraud. A fire at East Brighton. in the dwelling of J.. NJ. Morrell, is not accounted for
 M" Rice declares himself of the opinion that malice prompted the fir ing of the house occupied by Mayor c. ". Sims of Enterprise, early in June. The marshal states that he has so far hser unable to place the direct blame, but expresses himself unreservedly of the opinion that malice toward the mayor, because of his action in en- forcing the law, was responsible for the blaze.
 Several suspicious fires in Cullman during June are declared to bear every earnark of incendiarism, due to the existence of two factions, the work of which Is not explained. No intent to teflaud is suggested A
 The contrary announcement is made how yer, ia comment upon fire at Ragland in St. Clair county. The mar shal reports that building in that city was undoubtedly fired, or caused to be fired, by the occupants.
