DRAWS NEW'STANLAWS
GIRL IN CUPID'S LOTTERY
Report Monday Will Clear Men
Accused of Grafting by Al
derman McClelland.
Exoneration of all city officials in* j
volved in the graft charges, assured
to-day by members of the investigat
ing committee, has developed an
acute stage irt the relations of^AIayor
Woodward and the council.
Referring to reports that the fire
probe committee would clear Fire
Chief W. B. Cummings of the accu
sations of corruption, Mayor Wood
ward said he would not be surprised
at anything that committee would do.
Already members of the Councilmanie
Graft Probe Committee have been
much nettled by the declaration of
the Mayor that the committee “had
to exonerate the three Aldermen to
protect Council.”
The committee ^probing the coun-
cilmanic graft charges will meet this
afternoon to frame its report to Coun
cil. As it was given general author
ity to investigate all graft and cor
ruption, it is expected it will frame
a general reply to numerous charges
made by Mayor Woodward and his
right-hand man in Council, Alderman
John E. McClelland.
Prcbers Silent as to Report.
Because of this delicate situation
the members of the fire probe com
mittee, who completed their invest
igation yesterday, decline to make
any formal statement as to their
formal report until the meeting of
Council Monday. But it is learned
on good authority that Chief Cum
mings will be given a clean bill as
far as graft is converned. The com
mittee will recommend a better sys
tem of purchasing supplies for the
department and crticise its heads for
not following the requisition system.
The committee heard new evidence
yesterday afternoon, but when it went,
into executive session a formal re
port written some days ago by a sub
committee was agreed upon.
Committee Meets Monday.
A meeting of the committee will be
held Monday for the signing of this
report.
Mayor Woodward took the stand
first and told the committee that
Thomas Reynolds, the mysterious
man who promised important new
evidence, had failed to show up as he
had promised.
The committee decided to close the
investigation without waiting for him.
but George Napier, attorney for Chief
Cummings, was allowed to make a
brief reply to the Interviews that
Reynolds has given out.
Calls Reynolds Crook.
“Reynolds is a crook,” Interrupted
Chief Cummings.
Mr. Napier said that Reynolds had
been fired from th» fire department of
Clarksburg, W. Va., for drunkenness,
and that he was the agent for a fire
hose company
Mayor Woodward called R. E. Da
vidson, the fire engine agent who de
clared he gave Chief Cummings a
present of $400, to the stand. David
son presented a cancelled check on
the Fourth National Bank for $400,
cashed by himself on April 25, 1911,
which he said showed how he se
cured the money to present to Chief
Cummings. He also showed the stub
of this check in his check book and
said that of the several hundred stubs
It was the only one for as large an
amount as $400.
Woodward Criticises Department.
Mayor Woodward presented n re
port by his seeretaFy, Frank Ham
mond, that there was no adequate
system of records in the fire depart
ment; that no efforts were ever made
to make ‘hose companies live up to
their guarantees, and that, no compet
itive bids -were ever asked in the pur
chase of new hose or the sale of old
hose.
Chief Cummings 'produced a mass
of records, which, he said, refuted the
Mayor’s evidence.

KAISER EAGER TO
Ifl PEACE PRIZE
Is Restraining Austria So as to
Complete Twenty-five Years
of Warless Reign.
BERLIN, May 4. -The Kaiser is on
the las'. stretch of the last lap in the
race for the coveted twenty-five years
reign of peace. Will he win the gol
den jubilee prize? No one knows, but
it Is certain that he is restraining every
nerve to reach the wire before the
storm breaks, if ii does break. The
Foreign Office has wrapped itself in
a mantle of silence in regard to the
Austrian attitude toward Montenegro
and Servia, but the foregoing is the
way a military officer sized up the
present situation.
Well-informed men express the
opinion that the Kaiser’s hand has re
strained Austria and prevailed on
Vienna to wait before taking action
In the hope that something may de
velop which will avert what is feared
here, namely, the beginning of a war
into which Germany will be dragged
against her will and in which she has
no direct interest.
While the national and imperial
newspapers urge Germany to support
Austria and applaud the decision of
the latter country to act, one gets the
impression in talking with officials
and financiers that Germany is still
looking for some solution of the
trouble other than the warlike one
.proposed by Austria. . A member of
the Kaiser’s entourage is* quoted as
saying in conversation with a friend
that the Kaiser does not consider war
necessary under modern ideas and
should be undertaken only as last re
port.
