were mobilizing, and that some of the
Cossacks already were over the frontier.
The Kaiser, according to my information,
asked for an hour to think matters over,

when the staff caw him again he still
was averse to declaring war. He did

The Grand Jury today Ignored th"1 hill
of Indictment for bribery against Select
Councilman Herbert L. Maris, of 1221 N.
Kedfleld street, 34th Ward, In connection
with the acceptance by him of contribu
tions from per diem employees of the
Lity to aid in having Councils pass a bill
providing certain benefits for such work.
The Grand Jury placed the cost3 on
Harry J. Imter, the private detective em
ployed hy the Committee of Seventy, who
collected the evidence which resulted in
the charge of bribery being preferred
against the Councilman.
fourteen witnesses were examined by
the Grand Jury, Including Imber. The
other witnesses were the city employes
from whom Maris was alleged to have
taken money Improperly. From their
evidence, however. It appeared that Coun
cilman Maria, who had been asked to
use his Influence for the desired lisgisla
tlon, suggested having a pamphlet printed
setting for their grievances and a copy
given each member of Council".
The result of this was that a number
of the men made voluntary contributions,
ranging from &n cents to $1.-30. It was
for accepting this money that the Coun
cilman was charged with bribery, and on
which charge the Grand Jury placed Its
stamp of disapproval.
