Des Moines, Jan. 20. = Evidence OF
General Cosson by the senate nlsn-
ways committee is expected to lead to
an extensive investigation OF certain
road machinery representatives, coun-
ty engineers and in some instances
perhaps members of boards of super
visors
This was learned at a meeting or
the highways committee of the senate
when first steps were taken to secure
the enactment of a measure which Will
provide rules and regulations FOR the
purchase of such machinery
Letters sent to county engineers by
manufacturers of road machines or
their agents offering to pay them
commission for using their influence
to induce the board to buy certain
make of machine were given to the
attorney general several days ago.
Hear Agents Are Bold.
The members of the committee
stated yesterday that it had been
limited to them that road machinery
representatives in some instances were
bold enough to approach supervisors
having under consideration the pur-
chase of such equipment.
The senate committee is not con-
WINGED that the offer Of a commission
by machine men and the acceptance
of it by county engineers would pc

charge of bribery yet they are salts.
fled it is form of graft which should
be prohibited.
With this idea in mind, Chairman
Balkema of the committee will name
sub committee to draft a bill pro-
yiding rules for the purchase of ma
chinery and requiring the submission
of bids to the highway commission for
it's approval.

The attack on the state highway
commission by Senator Jones, of Viii
lisca. injected ginger into the meeting
Of the committee yesterday. He
charged that the commission was not
doing all in it's power to enforce the
road laws and cited several instances
where supervisors had disobeyed the
law in awarding contracts without
plans and specifications with knpwl-
edge of the commission. y ~.
Senator Balkema defended the COM
mission declaring that things had been
in such turmoil in the last year and
la half that the members had been
hampered in their work. He declared
that as soon as the legislature and the
people got behind the commission it
would be able to do much more eff

favor Of having the legislature im-
press upon the highway commission

Mason City, Jan. 29.-William Walsh,
whose cross examination consumed all
of the time of the district court here
yesterday, had a failing Of memory
when any matter was brought up
which was of any consequence. The
man stuck with tenacity to all Of the
statements made in the direct exami-
nation Wednesday, but when ques-
toned regarding any other matters he
usually answered the statement, II
don't remember"
The witness knew all about the sign
ing of the first $4,000 worth of 'ac-
commodation" notes for the Colby
company and later remembered sign
ing, with his mother. 100000 worth Of
the same kind of paper. He could not
remember whether any security had
been put up by the company or
whether he had received a per cent
commission for putting his name on
the paper.
Received Three Autos.
Walsh stuck to the story Of how the
mortgage was secured by Colby. altho
The defense attempted to shake his
story by suggesting explanations for
Ill the damaging testimony he gave.
The man admitted he had received
three automobiles from the Colby
company at different times. each sue
ceeding time turning in one machine
for another. Altho he said he used
them he claimed he did not know
whether the autos were his or not. He
did not remember having paid for them
nor did he know whether anybody else
paid for them.
Court May Delay Trial.
The whole history of the business
transactions Of William Walsh from
the time he began to take an interest
in the business Of his father until the
present tim was all gone over
by the PLAINTIFF yesterday. The wit
ness appeared to have trouble in again
recalling his early business trans
actions but made practically the same
statements as he made the day pre-
vious.
Again today the court room was
flled to overlooking with the persons
who gathered to hear the testimony. 1t
is thought the court will tomorrow adj
journ the case. until later In the term
and take up other pending equity mat
tiers until the grand Jury. which has
been in session for the past couple of
days is ready to report.
Expert testimony is to be offered
during the trial az to the mentality
Of William Walsh and his mother.
From evidence introduced it would
appear that Sebastian Walsh was
somewhat Of speculator himself. He
owned ten shares in the Burchinal
elevator, seventy five shares in the
