Columbus.-While the senate brib-
cry probe committee was consid-
ering means to prevent final leg
islative adjournment on May 81, the
trial of Representative George B. Nye
of Pike on a bribery charge developed
evidence indicating that special privi-
lege lobbyists may be responsible for
the committee and expect to be it's
chief beneficiaries. Prosecuting At
torney E. c. Turner cross-examined
Harry w. Wilson, Cleveland lobbyist,
inquired about efforts of Wilson and
o. X. Shimansky, another Cleveland
lobbyist, to preserve the committee
for selfish reasons and to destroy evil
dence which might be of service to
the grand jury and the prosecution in
the bribery cases. Wilson entered
vigorous denials.
Did you say, you had better look
them up. He may have records and
papers and he had better have them
cared for?"
This Wilson also denied, saying
that at no time at 5 o'clock in the
morning, had he had such a conver-
sation over the phone. The witness
was next asked whether on the next
night Shimansky had been in his
room. This Wilson admitted, but said
that the investigation had not been
talked about. He admitted that Shi-
mansky had asked him if he had
talked with Cleveland that night.
Wilson said further that Shimansky
had told him that an alleged detec-
tive had told someone that he had
cut in on my wire, and that as the
result Of my alleged conversation
with Cleveland, four members of the
investigating committee would re-
sign" Shimansky said, according to
the question, that he was tipped off in
the Neil house that service company
detective from Cleveland had told a
man named Woodbury., a Detroit tele-
phone lobbyist formerly of Cleveland.
Didn't you say" Turner pursued,
"if five members of the committee
get off, where in hell are we at? We
won't have a leg to stand on. For
Gods sake get out of this room and
do something. Now don't call up
Cleveland from here. If you do, get
out of town to do it."
Answering questions of the court,
Wilson told Judge E. B. Kinkead
that Charles Cassingham, Charles P.
Salen and Attorney Frank F. Gentsch
of Cleveland told him that Harrison
was not to be believed. On cross
examination, it developed that all
have been active in the lobby at the
legislative sessions this winter.

BIG STICK FOR TRUST
ATTORNEY GENERAL DECLARES
ALL SHERMAN ACT VoLAToRs
WILL BE PROSECUTED.
ADMITS STEEL CONNECTION
Cabinet Member Tells House Commit
tee He Advised Corporation and
Received see, 900 for His Services
While With Law Firm.

Washington. Attorney General
Wickersham' told the house committee
on expenditures in the department Of
justice that as a result of the recent
decisions Of the Supreme court in the
Standard Oil and American Tobacco
cases a sweeping attempt will be made
to obtain criminal convictions of all
violators of the Sherman antitrust
act
Attorney General Wickersham testi-
fed that he had advised the United
States Steel corporation on several oc-
casions from 1901 to 1909 during his
connection with the firm of Strong &
Cadwallader and that he had received
his share of the fee turned into the
firm for services to the American Su-
gar Refining company. personally at
tended to by Henry w. Taft. brother
of the president.
Mr.. Wickersham said his share was
about $4,000.
Mr.. Wickersham was examined
chiefly by Representative Beall of Tex
as, chairman of the committee, con-
cerning the sale by the government OF
friar lands In the Philippines to the
American Sugar Refining company.
He said that Henry w. Taft at one
time appeared as a special attorney
for the government against the "lico.
rice trust" part of the American To-
bacco company.
Mr.. Wickersham declared that after
he became attorney general John Hen
ry Hammond represented Strong &
Cadwallader as counsel for the So
called sugar trust in the purchase of
the friar lands. He added that at the
time he gave his opinion permitting
the sale of these lands he did not
know that Hammond represented the
president of the American Sugar Re-
tining company, Mr.. Havemeyer.
When asked about the connection
OF the firm with steel affairs, Mr..
Wickersham said:
Il personally have advised the
United States Steel corporation in one
or two issues"
Did Strong G Cadwallader ever
represent the New York Cotton ex-
changer" asked Chairman Beall.
Yes. Henry w. Taft was counsel
for the exchange" Mr.. Wickersham
replied, "and think he still continues
in that capacity"
The chairman sought to learn from
the attorney general why the depart
ment of justice and the treasury de-
partment accepted a 100000 settle
ment from the American Sugar Rein
ing company as restitution for under
valuations at the port of New York,
rather than enforce the severe penal
ties provided for by law. Mr.. Wicker
that the evidence at once was not
sufficient to support claim for penal
ties, though 1t was his belief that res
titution was made because the corpo-
ration feared penalties would be i'm
posed.
Then 1t was your judgment" sug.
gested Mr.. Beall, that, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the government had
access to a memorandum book show
ing the real weight of sugar imported |
and to books showing fraudulent |
If the government had at
tempted to collect the penalties there |
was strong probability of failure?"
"Yes," Mr.. Wickersham answered.
