Harrlsburg, June 2. The joint legis lative commute appointed to Investi gate the (60,000 Insurance scandal held very Interesting session yesterday afternoon. Chairman Wilson presided, and with the exception of Mr. Simon there was a full Attendance of the com mittee. General Qobln was present, and at the beginning of the proceedings he handed to the committee an affidavit made by John French, of Oil City, an Insurance agent. The first witness called was Haley Plske, vice president of the Metropoli tan Insurance company. He stated that Frank II. Leonard, ot the Clearfield Coal company, who said he represented one or two Pennsylvania state sena tors, called on the secretary of the Metropolitan company In New York and laid before -the secretary a plan whereby the bill could be killed. Leon ard, witness said, made a similar propo sition on two occasions to the Brooklyn superintendent of the company. 'I appeared before the Insurance commltte," continued Mr. Fiske. "and spoke against the hill. After this, In asslnu through the office of the Com monwealth hotel, I met Senator Kaiiff- man. He made some Jocose remark about boodle which annoyed me. He told me" that If we made an honest ef fort to kill the bill, without the use of money, that he would help us, but that we used money he would favor the passage of the bill." Mr. Flske then told of tho arrange ment for the meeting In Philadelphia, at which were pciisunt Senators Flinn, Kauffmnn and uobm, the witness. Agent French and a cotfple of otl-era. At this conference French's affidavit was handed over to the three senators. They took this Information," asserted Mr. Fisko, "with the express under standing that they assumed all re sponsibility, although I told them I Would loyally stand by them If they pslrpd tn use thi Information." Sorgeant-at-Aruis Joseph Wyatt was next called and sworn. Unfortunately for Mr. Wyatt, lie is tho olllclal who figured In tho escapo of Iiccd, tho olooinargarino witness, who gut lost from tho sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Wyatt Bworo that ho had subpoenaed Secre tary Woodward, of the Metropolitan Life. He had called at the address given by Frank II. Leonard, but did not find him. IIo saw nly a boy, and then camo away and turned to Philadelphia. Then you did not sco Leonard nnd subpoena him ?" said Mr. Kmikol. No, sir." Well, why didn't you stay and servo tho subpoena ou him?" Because I did not know him and 1 was taken sick." Agent French was tflen canea. no said he wsa a resident of Oil City, and that he was a district nsent for the Metropolitan company.- He related a visit he paid to Senator Shortt, of Sugar Grove, Warren county, In refer ence to the bill, "I had never met the senator be fore," said French, "butT called on him at his home In Sugar Grove about certain Insurance bills. I told him his constituents were against these meas ures, whereupon he replied: 'I have no sympathy for you people. I had tho bill recommitted, thinking you people would take your cue.' 'He told me," the witness went on to say, "that a state agenthe thought It was had boon ordered off the floor of the legislature, and he told me of Flske's apuearlng before the commit tee In ft pompous manner. The senator said that the committee was not In Mr. Flske's hands, hut that he was in theirs. He said to mo: 'The people you want to get after are Judge Dur ham and Senator Andrews. Andrews Is In that business, and he doesn't make any bones about It. As for myself, I have plenty. You know the -country members are square and honest, and they would not do anything of that sort. Still, that Is not saying that I can't be touched,' "Mr, Shortt told mo," declared French, "that railroads, Insurance com panies and the ArmourBeef company paid to have their Interests taken care of. He said that when our company was asked by the committee for Its amount of assets and liabilities that It was done to see how much they should strike us for. He advised me to see our people at once. A couple of days later he called me up on the tele phone and asked me If I had seen our people. I told him that I had not, but that I was going to see the Pittsburg agent." Then French produced In evidence a letter addressed to him, dated ilar rlsburg, April li, the day on which the bill waB killed. U came front Senator Bhortt, -and congratulated him (French) on the defeat of the meas ure. In answer to further questioning Mr. French said that at the Interview at Sugar Grove Shortt had told him he would vote against the bill; that he demanded nothing for so doing. "Sen ator Shortt," asserted the witness, "told me the company had used enough In postage stamps to kill the bill. Than I said to him: 'Suppose another hill would crop up. That would be dead robbery.' He said to me: 'Oh, no; the hpyjfrre honorable. They will not for get! " Senator Shortt next took the stand., with much feeling he mid that French's statement waa "an absolute, vicious and malicious lie," and turning to French he saw, fiercely: "And you know It. You partook of my hospital Uy, and then manufactured such t lowlived He.." Mr. Shortt said that French had come to him an entire stranger; that he had never met him before, but that he had asked him to take supper with him at his ham. He then denied French's statements, sentenj by sen tence, lie said regarding tne 1 eeting at his homo: 'French did not mehtion mr;ioy, nor did I, and I did not mention the names of-Judge Durham or Senator Andrews, except that I advised Frenoh to so the members of ttie legislature from the northwestern part of the stn' - and jjet their Influence against the bill. It Is true that I telephoned to him, but f asked him what success he had In leelng the members. Ien't that what t said?" said witness, to French. "No, sir," WW the answer. "Then )reu lie," was the rejoinder. BenatorDurham, upon being sworn, declared he had never talked to Sena tor Shortt about the use of money In the defeat or passage of any bill. "Was my name mentioned when you talked to French?" asked the Phlladelphlan f Mr, Shortt. "No, sir," came the reply. "Then French lies; he perjures hlm If." said Durham. Senator Durham mid after adjournment: "I have no respect for men who will deliber ately plan to smrfcli the names of their fellow meu and then have nothing to'preeeut but hearsay evidence. Nothing need be said about this fellow French. Tho testimony displays him In his true light. For tho e Senators who would make such a sensation as this on hearsay testimony of this character I have only contempt." Smith & Ileitis Itestniimnt. Cream of tomato, free, to-night.
