Bribery i'm Tennessee
Legislature Is Charged

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 15.-A
unanimous report charging corruption
and bribery against Senator E. N.
Ciabo, Of Severville, for his part in
passage of a sales tax bill, and naming
other Senators and Representatives in
connection with an investigation of
the passage of several bills in the Ten
nessee Legislature, was submitted to
Governor Taylor to-day by a Senate
committee.
The Governor announced that he
would not call an extra session of the
Legislature at this time to act on the
report, as he considered such step
unnecessary, but said he would place
it before the Attorney General of David
son County for possible prosecutions
He added that he would issue formal
statement on the subject after he had
studied the report.
The committee charged that Senator
Clabo deliberately, corruptly and
eagerly agreed to and did accept $500
as consideration for his vote
and influence to defeat the passage of
a certain bill known as the sales tax
bill"

Rasputin's Ex-Eriend
Turns Against Church

RIGA, Latvia, May 10 (By The As
ISOLATED Press) .---Am.d the confusion
attending the changes in Russia relig-
ious agitators are again active. The
notorious monk Iliodor (Heliodorusl
is one of these. Before the war he
was the companion of Rasputin, but
later broke with him and fled to
Sweden. He exposed Rasputin in his
diary, in which he revealed Rasputin's
alleged evil influences in tho court of
the Russian Emperor.
The Moscow Troud says that on Palm
Sunday at Cathedral Square in
Tsaritzyn Iliodor appeared suddenly
before many thousands and fervently
spoke against the official church From
this dispatch in Bolshevik newspaper
it appears that Iliodor, whose influence
over the superstitiuos peasants as "a
holy man exceeded Rasputins, is either
joining in the Bolshevik campaign
against revival Of church influence or
is leading some new cult.
According to the Moscow Pravda,
the Nicholas Probrashenie Church at
Moscow recently put up q huge ikon
on which was inscribed:
Brighter than the sun is shining,
with crown imperishable, the most
pious Emperor Nicholas Alexandrovtch
II, the autocrat, who made the Russian
land happy with his pure love, courage
and humility"

Senate to Drop Action
To Unseat Newberry
From The Tribuns's Washington Bureau

From The Tribame's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 15.-All indica-
tions are that the Senate soon will drop
the movement for the unseating of Sen
ator Newberry, Of Michigan.
Since the Supreme Court reversed
the Senator's conviction for Violation
Of Michigan's primary law there has
been little expectation that the move
ment to unseat the Senator through
proceedings in the Senate would get
far At the same time, Republican
leaders did not care to drop the case
too unceremoniously lest they give
cause of complaint to Henry Ford and
opportunity for him to allege he had
not been given square deal.
The Privileges and Elecuons Com
mittee, which has jurisdiction of the
matter, will be called together in the
next ten days by Senator Dillingham;,
chairman. 1t probably will decide that
between the findings of the Supreme
Court and the count of votes already
made by the committee there is no &C.
casion for further proceedings against
Newberry.
Certain Senators have been looking
into the case closely, and it is under
stood a majority of them have come to
this conclusion. Democratic members
OF the committee are expected to dis
sent.

case.
The members Of the Association of
Dealers in Masons' Building Materials,

driving through Passaic Avenue near
Nutley this evening heard cries and
means near the roadside and discov-
cred dishevelled young woman who
was hysterical with terror.
He took her to ST. Mary's Hospital

and drove away. She gave the police
the number she said the car bore.
