Large Sums of Money
Unlawfully Ora wn
From States Treas
ury, It's Charged
GIGANTIC FRAUD,
SAYS GRAND JURY
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of
State and Eleven Others Connected
With the 1913 Legislature Charged
With Wholesale Plundering
By Associated Press.

Indianapolis, Dee. 5.-Very large
sums of money were unlawfully drawn
out of the treasury of Indiana during
the session of the 1913 Legislature, ae.
cording to the report made late last
night by the Marion county Grand
Jury, which indicted Lieutenant Gov
enor' William p. O'Neill, Homer L.
Cook, Secretary of State, and eleven
others connected with the Legislature
in 1913, for the alleged signing or
presentation of false claims which were
paid out of the Legislative funds. The
report continues:
The total amount due to the $50
members of the Legislature for their
per diem and mileage was $60,903. so.
The total money drawn from the treas
urer as expenses of the Legislature was
S1bO,O00 plus, making 100000 of ex-
pense outside the pay of members of
both bodies for their services.
1T is due to many members of the
General Assembly and perhaps to a
considerable majority of them to state
that they had no knowledge of the
vast sums of money that were being
paid out to so-ealled employees.
iuS eNluSHCc III tHlS lHNtsIlSdtlOu
also discloses situation that calls
aloud for penal legislation upon the sub
ject of what is called lobbying about
the Legislature. 1t shows that men of
great political influence, on account of
their position in some instances and
their relation to party organizations, do
not hesitate to demand and receive
large sums of money, running into thou
sands of dollars, to influence and con
troll the legislation of the State. Men
of different political parties under So
called employment from the same EN-
ployer demand and receive large sums
of money for their effort to control or
influence legislation upon public bills,
Such conduct is inimical to the very
foundation of republican form of gov
ernment and ought to be prevented by
severe legislation so far as legislation
can effect 1T
