BRIDE QUIZ OPENS
STEPHENSON OF WISCONSIN DE-
MES HIS GUILT BEFORE SEN
ATE SUBCOMMITTEE.
SENATOR ON WITNESS STAND
Asserts He Personally Was Ignorant
Of ths Way In Which His Mana
gers Spent $1o7,7s3 During His
Campaign In 1903.

Milwaukee.-On the witness stand
before the senatorial investigating
committee for three hours to answer
charges that bribery and corrupt use
of money had contributed to his cleo,
ton. United States Senator Isaac
Stephenson testified that, although he
spent $1O7,793 in his campaign. he
had little knowledge as to just how
1t was spent except that 1t was not
used in violation of the law. The de-
tails, he said, he had left to his cam
paign managers.
AS an instance of his ignorance OF
just where the money went he cited
an item Of $11, 900 for postage.
Now" declared Senator Stephen,
son. 90" am president Of more than a
dozen active industries in this state
and l have in my employ more than
5000 men, some Of whom have been
with me for so years. In them
have every confidence.
II do not pay any attention to the
details of these industries. Just so.
when my campaign for nomination by
the primaries in 1908 came up: l
could not lay awake nights trying to
figure how the postage was used.
gave sums Of money to my mana
gers and told them to carry on a Wig
orous campaign and do everything to
elect me, except that they must keep
within the law. 1 cautioned them not
to violate the law in any particular.
So far as I know they obeyed me-"
Milwaukee.-That the $107.793
which was expended by United States
Senator Isaac Stephenson in his cam
paign for the senatorial nomination
was used legitimately for brass
bands, Autographs, buttons and other
campaign advertising. and was not EN-
ployed c%orruptly. was the gist of tes-
timony given before the investigating
committee.
E. A. Edmonds, who was chairman
of Senator Stephenson's primary cam
paign committee, and who admitted
spending $1O7, 1913 in the primary cam
paign, was the only witness.
Edmonds had promised to go over
the itemized accounts of money ex.
pended and testify as to his personal
knowledge of expenditures. On the
stand he declared he had nc way OF
telling exactly for what the money
was paid out. He declared he gave
no attention to the keeping Of &C.
counts. That, he said. he left to
others.

CHECK SLAVE TRADE
ITALIANS HAVE ISSUED AN OR.

TIME CUSTOM.
TURKS LAYING DOWN ARMS
More Than 10000 Natives, ImpeIied by
Hunger, Will soon be Forced to Ca
pItuiate-Forts at Bombah Bay Cap
tured by italian Warships.

Rome.-The Italian authorities at
Tripoli have issued a proclamation
s~uppressing slavery. Tripoli was the
only remaining port on the coast Of
Africa where slavery still prevailed,
Notwithstanding the efforts Of Great
Britain and France to prevent the
traffic.
Gen. Spingardi, the minister Of war,
went to Naples to supervise, in con.
junction with the duke of Arosta, the
organization Of the troops for the ex-
pidition.
A dispatch from Tripoli says groups
Of Turkish soldiers r coming in to
surrender. The Arabs, armed at the
last moment by the garrison with
Mauser rifles landed by the steamer
Dsrna, are gradually returning to Trip
oil and offering their submission.
Their only condition is that the Ital.
ian commander purchase their rifles
for Q few francs, which seem to show
that not only are the Arabs-those at
least in the vicinity of Tripoli-not
ready to fight for Turkey, but also that
starvation prevails among the natives.
More than 10000 of these, it is re-
ported. will soon be forced by hunger
70 return to the town.
II II not known how the Turkish SOL
diers comprising the garrison are OF
for supplies. but 1t is believed they are
near the minimum. 1t is possible,
however. that they may proceed into
the interior for the purpose Of arousing
tho Senuoussi tribes and have them
proclaim q holy war against the in
vaders.
The attitude Of the Turkish govern
ment regarding the Italians in the Of
toman empire IL viewed with some
concern, and the order Of expulsion
and the abolition of the capitulations,
n carried into effect, may be the cause
OF serious complications. 1t Is expect
ed that Germany, which now has the
Italians in Turkey under their protec-
ton. would raise an objection to such
action.

nesday or Thursday. This is an awful
fact to contemplate and many an anx-
ious moment will be experienced by
the housewives when they find that it
is Just dinner time and the potatoes
are not on.
This will pct matter to the Chinese,
however, and they will gain the bene-
fit of the missing cooks. No scheme
of decoration has been arranged, but
it is understood that some sort OF
system is to prevail as to the general
idea. Down in the lantern shops they
have been working overtime for weeks
and have been turning out huge Ian
terms, which will be hung in front of
the shops. Some of these are an
enormous size and have been decorated
with garish and grotesque figures.
When these are strung from one end
of the street to the other it will prae-
tically hide all the modernity and look
like some oldtime fairyland where the
genii of the Arabian Knights used to
take their heroes and heroines.
Besides these, many beautiful pic
lures have been prepared and will hang
in front of the buildings. Some of
them are wonderfully intricate in de-
sign and have taken weeks to design
and finish.
Where Are Those Nickels?
The Rapid Transit Company is hold
ing all the small change it can get.
The stores are also finding the need of
hanging on to their small change, as
there is shortage of it everywhere
in town. Down in Chinatown, however,
there is no shortage. Piled away in
drawers and desks are nickels and
dimes galore. The reason for this is
that among the many customs which
prevail at this time of the year there
| is. one that has to do with small coins.
When a man goes out to make his cere-
monial calls he is supposed to leave a
small coin with his visiting card. The
Chinese religiously observe this, and
when there are known to be any chill
dren about they take good care to leave
a plentiful supply.
At the Barber Shop.
Perhaps the people who are doing the
greatest business are the proprietOrs of
the "barber shops,'' as they are called
in Chinatown. The glimpses that are
obtained through the windows generally
focus a Chinaman sitting in the chair,
with his head bald except for the queue.
If the observer happens along little
earlier, however, and stays to watch
the whole proceedings, he will see that
the occupant of the chair had hair on
his head when he entered the shop. The
occasion demands that the whole head
be shaved, with the exception of the
queue.
The barber shops are also the resort
of the musicians. Every night they
gather and practise up for the celebra-
tions. Chinese music has very few
notes compared to our own music, and
it is perhaps due TO this fact that the
expression of barber shop chord has
sprung. The musicians sit there, and
to the strangers idea of things never
change their tune, but keep along on
the one old string all the time, and so
it has come about that when an artist
on the stage makes a big fuss about one
particular note and tries to make 1t
the whole show, the rude boys at the
back want to know just when he is
going to leave off that "barber shop
chord -

eral geisha girls were brought forward
as witnesses. Although they had told
Inspector Fennell different story when
he first questioned them, they, on oath,
were all of the same mind: III don't

asked them.
Other witnesses for the prosecution
swore that the people who frequented
the hotels brought their own beer
along with them. Still others declared
that when liquor was demanded, wait
ers were sent out to saloons to buy the
refreshment.
Under the circumstances, Judge Ly-
mer had no alternative but to discharge
the defendants. Still, the judge spoke
very plainly about the matter, and al
luded to the "lying testimony" given
by some of the witnesses.

Prosecutor Brown at once proceeded
to example the child as to where she

was from Maui, and that she lived with
a mature geisha girl. Whenever a call
was sent to their home for geisha girls
she went along with the older woman.
