the witness replied in the negative.
Witness said that she signed the
affidavit at the request of Samuel
Davis, liquor dealer of Springfield,
who assured her that it never would
be made public, but would be used only
to coerce O'Hara into steering his
vice investigation away from Davis.
She said that the paper was meant
as club to be held over O'Hara, &C.
cording to assurances given her.
Later Davis asked her to sign Sec
ond affidavit against O'Hara, but upon
advice of Fred Mortimer, a lawyer
friend of Springfield, she declined to
do so.
II wish emphatically to deny that
there was any improper relations be-
tween myself and Mr.. O'Hara or that
the subject was even discussed" she
repeated.
Lieutenant Governor O'Hara has is.
sued a statement denying the charges
made in the WOman's affidavit.

Civil Measure.
Washington, May 9.-President
Wilson let it be known that when he
acts on the sundry civil bill he will
make a statement concerning the ap-
preparation in it for enforcing the
antitrust laws, the use of which is
prohibited for the prosecution of Ia
Dor unions or farmers organizations
under the Sherman act.
The president is expected to sign
the bill, but will point out that the
question of whether labor unions are
immune from prosecution under the
antitrust laws is not affected by pro.
vision of the appropriation bill.
It is regarded as practically GER
tain that in the December session of
congress an effort will be made to re-
wise the antitrust laws in this re-
gard.
