LEGISLATORS GET
 INTO bR|bE TRAP
Marked Money Caught Five West Virginians, Authorities Say Claimed Senatorial Votes
 Were Sold.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. 12.-With marked money in their pockets, all legged to be the price of their votes in the United States senatorial con- test, four members of the house o. delegates and one member of the senate of West Virginia, were ar rested in a hotel here late yesterday by Sheriff Bonner Hill, in the pres ence of the public prosecutor, Thomas C. Townsend.
 They were taken before C. w. Dering, justice of the peace, where each waived a hearing and was held in S5,OOO bond. The accused are U. s. Rhodes, Dr. R. F. Asbury, David E. Hill, Rath Duff, representatives, and B. A. Smith, senator.
 Ever since the legislature as sembled there have been rumOrs that money was being used to in- fluence members in the interest of some one of the senatorial candi- dates, but the stories were not sup ported by tangible evidence and the entire matter was passed as an ordinary feature of a hard fought political battle.
 Six Votes for S5O,000.
 Recently, however, Rhodes is al legged to have said, according to the prosecutor, that for something more than $50,O00 he could change six votes in the two houses. Acting on this report, it is stated, Prescott tor Townsend summoned several detectives. They had been in Charleston, watching the senatorial ballot for weeks, and were in close touch with the situation.
 Details of their operations were not made public, but after the ar rests, it was said, arrangements had been made for the change in voting this week. It was to start with a vote or two the first day, followed by other changes until the neces- sary number had been obtained.
 It Was Payday"
 Part of the program was carried out, and today was arranged as payday" The men were called to a hotel and there, it was alleged, were paid in the marked bills. In an adjoining room Prosecutor Townsend and Sheriff Hill awaited the signal which was to lay bare the alleged bribery. They had only few minutes to wait, for, the transaction over, the door was opened and the men invited to en- ter.
 There stood the sheriff and prose- cutor, to both of whom all sAe legij- lators were known. For a moment no one moved, and then, without hesitancy the sheriff told the ac- cused they were under arrest.
 Prosecutor Townsend had pre- pared his plans so that the men could be taken at once 10 the office of Justice of the Peace Dering, where they would be permitted to plead. They lost no time in sum- moning counsel and within a few minutes after the arrest were in the justices office.
