A HOT time
IN old OHIO
BILL INTRODUCED TO PUT BRIB.
ERS IN THE PENi.
TENTIARY.
BATH REFUSED SOLONS
PROSECUTORS HAVE DECLINED
TO ACCEPT ovERTUREs OF
ASSEMBLYMEN.

Columbus, Ohio. - Ohio legislators
who hoped by testifying before the
grand jury now investigating bribery
in the assembly to escape conviction
by means of an immunity bath, were
disappointed when prosecuting Attor-
ney Turner and Attorney General
Hogan refused to accept their testi-
mony.
Other immunity baths were headed
off when an investigation by legisla-
tive committee was deferred until
after the grand jury finishes it's work.
The prosecutors have declined to ac-
cept overtures from assemblymen.
The grand jury was in session all
day and among it's witnesses, besides
detectives who disclosed the corrup-
tion, was Gov. Harmon and Judge
Blair of Portsmouth, who conducted
the recent campaign which resulted
in the disfranchisement of 1900 voters
in Adams county for election frauds.
A bill is pending in the assembly, to
legislate Blair out of his present ju-
d
the bench. Rumors have been cur
rent of wrongdoing in connection with
the measure
Detective w. J. Burns was at the
court house, but did not testify. The
grand jury has made no report.
The House calendar committee, of
which DR.. George B. Nye, one of the
early central figures in the bribery dis
closures, was an active member, prac-
tically went out of existence. The Re-
publican and Democratic floor leaders,
Representatives Langdon and Russell
respectively, first said they would re-
sign from the committee unless DR..
Nye and one other quit at once.
The two threatened members de.
clined, but later all of the seven men,
bers, save DR.. Nye, turned in their res
ignations to the House.
Then ensued a wrangle as to wheth
er the House was in any way RESPONSE
BILE for the personnel of the committee
which was named by the speaker.
Representative Greeves introduced
bill to make it mandatory upon
judges to give legislators convicted of
bribery, penitentiary sentence. I'm
der present statutes they can be let
off with fines.
Detective Burns said the Ohio as
semblymen who, he alleged, had been
caught in bribery traps, were the
biggest and boldest grafters" he had
lever ran across" He would not pre-
dict how many assemblymen would be
involved.
1t was asserted that the money DIR.
Nye said he had received as bribes
and which he turned over to Speaker
Vining, was not in the same denomina-
tion of marked bills, which the detec-
tives asserted they paid to Mr.. Nye.
Speaker Vining did not open the en-
velope which DIR. Nye turned over to
him, he said, but put the package i'm
tact in the House clerks safe. 1t was
opened in the presence Of Governor
Harmon.

High Line Canal Controversy.

Palisade.-In an effort to prevent
costly litigation to the people and the
government in the building of the High
Line canal in the Grand valley, Unit
ed States District Attorney Thomas
ward Jr., has prepared to call con-
ference with the various owners of
water rights in the Palisade and
Grand Junction districts. which will
he held either in Denver or Grand
junction within the near future.
This action was decided upon by Mr..
Ward after receiving notice from
Washington to effect a settlement with
the water users, if possible. Over a
week ago Referee Guy Sternberg. who
was appointed to adjudicate the differ
ences between the government and
water owners, decided the Reclama-
ton Service was only entitled to water
rights from the time it began actual
work on the High Line, in 1908. The
government contended its rights dated
back to 1902.
This decision failed to give the gov
ernment sufficient water to operate it's
canal, and May was the day set for
arguing the matter before District
Judge Sbackelford of Grand Junction.
Now it is hoped to offer terms OF set
tlement to the power companies near
Palisade who hold large part of the
Grand river water rights, and secure
sufficient water to permit work to go
forward on the High Line at once.
