Stephenson Says
Evidence Against
Him Proves Nothing

MILWAUKEE,, Nov. 1.-The United
States senate committee which for q
month has been investigating charges Of
bribery in the election OF Senator Isaac
Stephenson, today adjourned its hearings
I'm Milwaukee to meet later in Washing
ton.
Edward Hines, the lumberman, today
again denied before the committee that
he had anything to do wrongfully with
the election Of Senator Isaac Stephenson.
"A story has been told before this COM
mittee that you attempted to obstruct the
election Of Mr.. Stephenson with a view Of
obtaining money from him; that you
went to Washington and suggested he
put up half OF the $4,000 to put tho
election over. Is that true?" Mr.. Hines
was asked.
ITS absolutely untrue" replied Mr..
Hines.
1T has been stated that you had a
dispute with Robert j. Shields over the
amount of money Shields was to get for
putting over Senator Stephenson's cleo
ton; that in that dispute you threatened
to send Shields to the penitentiary and
that when so threatened Shields replied
to you: 81 have burnt your buildings for
you, have bribed the assessors for you
and committed every crime in the cal
endar for you except murder, and II l
go to the pententiary you win have to
go too Did any such dispute take
placer"
81 never had a dispute with Shields
over Senator Stephensons election, nor
did ever pay him any money in con-
nection with it."
Senator Stephenson, the last witness,
repeated mis- former testimony that while
he expended S1O7 79S in the primary cam
paign Of 1908 for nomination he had given
little attention as to how the money was
spent.
The senator declared he never knew
Robert J. Shields and that he never had
had any political dealings with Edward
Hines.
Senator Stephenson said after adjourn
ment:
II am confident there has not been
presented any evidence on which to sus-
tain any OF the charges"

to take away from Chicago the power
of self.government.
After giving brief outline of the
nature of the bills the resolutions in.
troduced by Aid. Coughlin read:
Resolved. That we, the members
of the common council Of the City of
Chicago, protest against the passage
Of any or either of said bills, and we
